Some new stuff. I talk rationality, dissimulation, the nature of faith, the history of medieval law, and the ins and outs of judicial ordeals.

I used to be fine with Asian elites coming in and displacing elite whites several years ago, since I thought it would lead to some kind of intra-elite race war. But now I think it will mainly just lead to WASPs further losing their morality and embracing exploitation/corruption.

Prime Time doesn't look very good, but I do like the idea of a movie that raises real questions about the relationship between the mass entertainment industry and the criminal justice system, since it does seem to be the nerve center at which "normie sadism" flourishes the most.

I've only listened to Deafheaven's "Sunbather" and thought it sucked ass, so I'm going to listen to a few minutes of their latest album and determine if it's metalcore or not. I'll be back in like 10 or 15 minutes.

This whole Gothic vs Antiqua controversy got me thinking: maybe Varg Vikernes was making a powerful statement when he chose Times New Roman font for the cover of his "Fallen" album. Maybe he was tapping into the true Aryan typographic spirit.
Today I learned that the badass-looking German "Fraktur" typeface was abolished on typewriters in favor of the much more boring "Antiqua" typeface in 1941 by... Hitler???
He told everyone that Fraktur contained Jewish letters ("Judenlettern").
Questionable aesthetic choice.

‘A person is using a computer to perform a computation’ can be metonymically abbreviated to ‘the computer is performing a computation‘. The naive materialist then takes this literally and uses it to argue that the person is a computer, since ‘both perform computations’.

It seems to me that Gottlob Frege's system of logic implied a change in the definition of "logos," the word's etymon, that effectively turned it into the way Klages characterized the "spirit" or Geist.

Which is interesting because when Klages coined the word Logocentrizmus, he wasn't thinking about Frege, probably hadn't heard of him. But Frege tried to turn logic into a closed, complete system to which mathematics could be reduced, and importantly with no germinal component.

Theistic Satanism is a less blasphemous sect of Christianity than Unitarianism in my opinion

I've reached the point where my brain simply doesn't allow me to take naps any longer. Very disconcerting.

Haven't seen any of these except Chappelle's Show and the first 3 seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm. But one thing that sticks out is that the erasure of Rick & Morty is now complete. Pickle Rick is dead. Wubba-lubba dub dub has expired. No more Mulan Szechuan sauce. Etc.
The New York Times’ final list of the 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century is now complete.
What do you make of the final ranking? Which placements surprised you the most?

One thing that I appreciate about 1990s edgelord culture is that its representatives all had pretty wholesome obsessions mixed in with the more edgy ones. Boyd Rice wouldn't be nearly as interesting if he wasn't such a huge fan of 1960s girl groups and Martin Denny exotica music.
