Who ever said truth is beautiful? Or makes you feel good? Or is respectful? Truth is often hidden, and is disrespectful, or rude, because it hurts your ego, or makes you feel sick to your stomach. Truth is often masculine, because it is disruptive of feminine positive emotions. Truth does not care about your feelings, it is rude. Truth is sometimes negative.

He who fails to understand what a boon truth in the practical sphere can be, subjects it to critical fuss and bother so as somewhat to embellish his own wrong-headed, laborious procedures.

The idea that 'truth is beautiful' has already assumed that it is ordered, i.e., symmetrical and proportional in relation to life and man as life's representative.
Truth is power but not necessarily what can be controlled and directed. Truth is terrifying and must be endured - too much exposure to it is destructive to a conscious life form. Nihilism becomes a method the mind uses to defend itself from it - it in an anti-truth truth, creating an alternative to the perceived and independent from life's needs/desires. Nihilism wants to return to a previous less sophisticated stage - an animal state of simplicity. A return to binary either/or, 1/0 good/bad binaries - self-imposed retardation for the sake of life.
Truth is a tool of reason. It bears the patterns of both chaos and order; it reveals what it must, because that is its function and so it takes on many forms, many hues, many nuances, and many facades. They all bear their own mark of reality to an objective. It requires an equally nuanced mind, an unbiased mind, able to relegate itself, that will than be capable of realizing the presence of truth in its many forms without idealizing their appearances. Truth requires more than reason but creativity and imagination, in order to better manage its stream of patterns.
Truth is akin to nature, in that it has no purpose, other than to be what it is. Idealizing truth, should only be with the intention of setting a standard to overcome it. A motivation for transcendence; a challenge for growth and strength.
Indifference is the truest expression of power and the carefree squandering of energies, in the form of generosity, is the truest expression of wealth. The miser proves his penury of spirit as he gathers and stores his riches, using them as compensating superfluity for his true inner destitution. Riches concealed in occult spaces, like knowledge accessible only via specialized magical codes to unlock their utility, is a sign of power through proxies. The truest mentor/teacher liberates his students from his necessity, if what he teaches is true and real, and if he is a generous spirit; a charlatan offers mystical promises that maintain the mentor/teacher as a necessary mediator, i.e., guru, priestly class.

When someone is convinced that they've already found the 'truth' - the absolute truth - then there's no real reason to discuss anything with them. Their only interest in the world, and in philosophy, is to validate what they already 'know to be true'. Their only objective is to validate their established convictions and to proselytize so as to gain confidence in them. An inverted method typical of nihilists.
They start with the objective, and engage the world selectively so as to justify their choice. Top<>>Down emoting. If we use the platonic model of the charioteer, they place the stallions - representing passion - before the will and the rider - representing reason, after the will. Their passions are holding the reigns and controlling reason. Reason is at the head, under passion's control. Subjective thinkers...unable or unwilling to become objective, to any degree. It is discomforting. Terrifying. They need their libidinal energies relieved, expunged; their stress energies kept in reserve for the fight/flight mechanism, need to be constantly purged....hedonistic, impulsive, feminine; the sensation is pleasing.
Ass backwards.

Truth has no need for power. It is power, and those who see it yield it. Truth is feared by those who do not know it, or that have denounced it hoping to render their enemies powerless. Truth is a multi-edged fluctuating sword, causing a shaking anxiety in the feeble hand, forcing most to reject yielding it, refusing its existence to justify their cowardice.

Truth is not a fixed absolute....it is a fluid and fluctuating, but not to the degree where it us so malleable that no awareness can ever be useful.
truth is dipping your foot into a lake and subjectively judging its temperature, its viscosity, its buoyancy, relative to your own mass - know thyself - determining if you will be able to survive immersing yourself in it. The consequence of your immersion determines the veracity of your subjective judgements.

With no independent standard to determine truth from lies, the postmodern can peddle his bullshyte to needy freaks looking for a way out of their existential predicaments. But they intuitively know they are lying - you know they are fractured and fragmented, and shit - so they insist that this becomes a collective project, so that the consequences their insanity inevitably produces will be shared.....evenly disseminated so as to reduce the impact on the individual....namely them. They don't want to be accused of lying, you see? They need to remain innocent, in case the crap hits the fan.
So, if a whore, or a woman with low IQ fucks around, or continuously 'falls in love' with the "wrong person" and constantly gets pregnant, then all of us must pay for her lifestyle choices, based on her fucked up judgment calls. All of us must bear the consequences of her idiocy. Marxism. See how it works? She doesn't have to change...you see? And she cannot be blamed. She doesn't have to alter her judgements, and make better choices, because there is no better or worse. She could not have made other choices. All is equal. Nobody is at fault.
So, all morons, or those with bad judgements, making error after error, can comfort themselves that there is no error, because there is no truth....but the consequences of their actions must be shared, because that's fair, right. Now individuals with good judgements, making good choices, are forced to accept the consequences of those who continuously make bad judgements, leading to bad life choices. It follows that there is no free-will.....all is inevitable. She can't change if it hasn't been determined. It's all a transfiguration of the same Abrahamic bullshyte. We are all equal in sin, you see? Compared to god's omnipotent omniscience we are all the same. It's all god's will, meaning we cannot do anything other than what is willed by god.
Only it is all secularized..."in a no god world"...ha!!! Now the absolute is not positive - omniscience, omnipotence - but negative - ignorance, impotence. We are all equal in our impotent ignorance.....or we ought to be so.
Did I not write about positive & pure nihilism?

The common idea is the absolute: omnipotence/omniscience. In relation to this imaginary ideal we are all "equally" fallible - not relatively, absolutely. The absolute is the great equalizer. Who can match it? Nothing and nobody, because it doesn't exist....and can never exist. We are eternally and absolutely nothing, relative to this imaginary state of being. Either through it, or in relation to tis absence, we are all fallible - equally so. Equally imperfect, relative to this imagined state of perfection.
You see the "death of god" had many psychological consequences among the masses of mediocrity. Not only nationalism, as Nietzsche predicted, but this secularization of the same Abrahamic tropes - like those other morons did on ILP - the Van Clan - reinventing Kabbalistic Judaism using different words to conceal the plagiarism .....essentuially reinventing Gnosticism, because all of Judaism is a plagiarism, concealed by Cryptomnesia. recovering Abrahamics...... They cannot endure existence without the same tropes, whatever terminology they use and reuse. Abraham's Jew-god never died, he was reborn as idea....remember? Reborn into any idea promising an absolute state = completion, whole, oneness, perfection etc. Even the idea of nothingness is a rebirth of the Messiah. No-thingness, literally, concealing the absolute thingness of a missing god. The road to salvation is maintained. The road towards uniformity....unity.....completness. Finality.

They're ceding 'the Truth' to nazis though... which is interesting.
