Dionysos and the spirit of Music, vs Apollo and the spirit of Matter

Wed Feb 21, 2018 10:53 am by Barracuda

As we learn from Nietzsches first work, the Birth of Tragedy, he perceives Dionysos as the thing that lives on in joy perpetually and partakes both in the building and flourishing of forms and n their destruction and consumption.

In Apollo, he sees a different redemption from suffering and inevitable death and vanishing, one the is less absolute, but more easy to attain; the relative eternity of …

Mon Mar 05, 2018 9:30 pm by Zoot Allures

Semiotics - Language/Symbols - numbers & letters

Wed Mar 07, 2018 9:29 am by Satyr

Language evolve from grooming.
It became vocalizations with specific tones informing the group, sharing awareness of resources, an impending threat, sexual availability etc.

efficient

Nihilism - Symptomatology

Wed Mar 14, 2018 8:23 am by Satyr

What is nihilism?
How does it spread?
How does it construct itself?

Why is it so creative, manifesting in multiplicity of variations, ideologies, philosophies?  

We know the official definition, but is it accurate or a product of nihilists defining a world void of the human abstraction they need to endure it?
Is a cosmos void of god, universal morality, purpose, wholeness, a negative …
