Voegelin, Eric wrote:
The aim of parousiastic gnosticism is to destroy the order of being, which is experienced as defective and unjust, and through man’s creative power to replace it with a perfect and just order. Now, however the order of being may be understood—as a world dominated by cosmic-divine powers in the civilizations of the Near and Far East, or as the creation of a world-transcendent God in Judaeo-Christian symbolism, or as an essential order of being in philosophical contemplation—it remains something that is given, that is not under man’s control. In order, therefore, that the attempt to create a new world may seem to make sense, the givenness of the order of being must be obliterated; the order of being must be interpreted, rather, as essentially under man’s control. And taking control of being further requires that the transcendent origin of being be obliterated: it requires the decapitation of being—the murder of God.
The murder of God is committed speculatively by explaining divine being as the work of man.
Man declared himself creator, and believed it - having practiced the art of irrational hope, i.e., faith.
Now he is convinced that all is of his own doing and this will be his inevitable undoing.
Man as creator god is subjectivity.
Man creates reality, i.e., world, himself within it, out of nowhere and nothing.

"Thrown" as it were, out of nowhere, to reinvent himself anew with every toss.

The Left is obsessed with making existence more "humane", believing all humane will agree what this means.
But humane doesn't exist in reality and is founded on ideology so it can mean anything the human mind can think.
All theoretical interventions on natural order face this problem, which is only a human problem.
Their final gambit is appealing to the primal in man - the manimal - and its natural inclinations towards pleasure and safety.
Offering the manimal artificial "corrections" for its natural impulses cannot work for long, especially not when not everyone is in agreement and so not all pretend to exist in a shared alternate reality.
This is why Communism fails.
As long as there's one competing alternate ideology, closer to natural processes, it cannot compete.
It can only achieve tis utopian ideal world if all participate in the pretence; if one speaks the truth all lies crumble, so all must agree on the lie and exterminate all truth-speakers for there to be a hope that the lie might survive.
But this is also based on a error, for "truth" refers to what exists and what exists requires no believers no speakers to help it continue, it exists whether it is acknowledged or not; it existed before man emerged and will continue after man is exterminated.
Reality does not require man and his language - language requires reality, and "truth" is the term we use to refer to a perspective that approaches reality without ever attaining it absolutely - due to tis fluctuating fluidity.

Lefties cannot accept that all human interventions produce negative consequences because they cannot think beyond a certain level of subjective simplicity.
For them "abortion", "equality", "technologies" can only be positive.
If its good for them - in the short term - then who cares what it causes in the long term?
They are shallow pretending to be deep and profound.

PostSubject: Re: Postmodernity Postmodernity - Page 7 EmptySat Jul 16, 2022 7:54 am

Abrahamism evolved into Marxism - adapt or die, is the basic principle of natural selection (adaptation) and so it guides the survival of memes, just as it does genes.
Ideologies (dogmas) must adapt to a changing environment or go extinct.
So, Zoroastrianism evolved, morphed, into Judaism, which in turn evolved into Christianity and Islam.
When these came under the threat of growing human knowledge and understanding - where not even obscurantism and mysticism could protect them - the foundational, nihilistic, principle (core of the multiplicity of memes) evolved into Marxism - secular form of Christianity, which was a corrupted synthesis of Judaism and Hellenism, primarily Platonism, or post-Socratic Greek philosophy - symptom of tis own decline.
Marxism failed consistently because it is nihilistic- denying or contradicting reality, natural order.
Exploitation is the basis of natural selection, from which cooperative strategies develop.
To succeed Marxism promoted desperation - degeneration - to manufacture the conditions where it's other-wordly ideology would overcome reason and logic and natural impulses and bring about tis ideal state, its utopia - corresponding to Christianity's "paradise" in the beyond. It projected its "utopia" in a forever imminent future.
But even this failed to produce the expected results so now it has adapted, once more, seeding degeneracy and desperation in the form of linguistics - eroding confidence in the senses, in one's own mind, in language itself - to manufacture desperation, moral degeneracy, the ideal circumstances for its ideal to take root.

Remember....when Marxism failed in tis projection that the proletariat would rise up and overthrow the "evil capitalists" it changed tactics, and became more subtle in tis subversive methods. It lost respect for the proletariat who did not seem to "know what's good for them".
They participated in the capitalists system to subvert it from the inside - they learned this from their spiritual mentors.
Their motive was to cultivate such despair, such degeneracy, such mistrust and paranoia so as to bring capitalism down, while participating in its institutions.
But this also failed.
we ae living through the third attempt, postmodernism, which changed its contexts altogether.
Capitalists were replaced by European heterosexuals males.
The 'proletariat' was redefined as the 'noble savages' the wronged, the exploited browns and blacks, and degenerate whites...
Miscegenation and multiculturalism increasing their numbers daily.
This method they learned form their spiritual mentors.
Crypsis, subversion from within - parasitism.
They adopted their strategy, becoming their hand.
Their method remains linguistic.
Subverting identity, ethnicity, confidence in one's own eyes - see [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - total submission to the spoken word, to logos defined as 'oral or written word', not logic, reasoning, cause... subverting philosophy by undermining its linguistic tools.
Words are no longer defined - connected to acts, to observable phenomena - but are detached, retained as vague meaningless symbols that can mean anything to anyone.
This destroys confidence, seeds the required degeneracy and desperation these fanatics believe will, finally, lead to their "utopia".
Economic subversion failed to produce the levels of degeneracy and desperation necessary for the masses to rise up, having nothing left to lose, so now they subvert the core of humanity, tis sense of self, its experience of the world, its connection with reality.



Notice how postmoderns - crypto-Marxists, recovering Abrahamics - do not define the words they throw about as accusations.
They don't define "woman".
They don't define "freedom", "human", "justice", "Dasein",....words are arbitrary.
They can mean anything. that's the point, for them.
Desperation, degeneracy, so that the masses, lost in their own subjectivity, will flock to them for help - ready and willing to make compromises, sacrifices, to do anything to find some semblance of certainty, some meaning, some purpose.
The virus evolved.


These hypocrites don't change, they only change their methods....the words/symbols they use to achieve the same, exact, goals.

Nihilism is a defensive reaction, using symbols/words to cope, to deal with an indifferent, threatening, and, for them, undesirable, reality.
It uses words to create alternative "definitions" or to deconstruct them altogether, leaving the nil, where desperation and degeneracy is left in limbo - awaiting salvation - no mater how absurd, how ridiculous, how miraculous; awaiting magic to save them.

Just as Christianity was a Judaization of Hellenism; Zionism is a Hellenization of Judaism; Marxism a secularization of Abrahamism; so, too, is postmodernism the moralization and racialization of Marxism.
In effect postmodernism returns to tis origins in Abrahamic ethics - theocracy - becoming a secular theocracy and ethical standard.
It radically replaces terminologies and their meanings, and so covers its tracks by rendering all words meaningless and a product of collective power balances, urging the slaves, the victims to collectively decide to change reality by altering the meaning of words.
So, "what does woman even mean," right?

Subvert the minds intuitive resistance to unreason - a matter of survival; undermine its trust in its own senses, primarily his sight, so as to fabricate the psychological circumstances conducive to a radical change in power hierarchies.

They accuse their enemies of what they are most guilty of.
They are obsessed with power and so all becomes a matter of power.
They use underhanded, feminine, subversive, psychologically manipulative word-games, to achieve their "objectives" so they must accuse others of this, first, so as to appear the victims resisting an evil power imposing tis words upon them.

Anti-hpilohy, presenting itself as philosophy.
Nihilism inverts the perceived, using words - I've said this a thousand times, and will repeat it, as long as this disease continues to wear down my civilization - not Americanism.
Americanism is the pinnacle of deception.
A hierarchical structure denying diarchies; a bully presenting itself as the victim.

The objective is to "correct" reality (world, nature) of its "injustices," its "corruption" - here the description of experienced world as a "fallen" state is foundational - connecting postmodernity, Marxism with its source in Abrahamism and Abrahamism to its source in Zoroastrianism and ancient-Egytian occultism.
Nihilism wasn't invented in this century, it was only given a name.
It goes back to the emergence of self-consciousness and the brain's survival functions, protecting the organism from whatever reality threatens its existence.
If self-deciet or insanity protects the individual then it becomes the mind's primary function - insanity and self-negationbecoems tis 'ideal', since 'ideals' are projections of man's objectives, often taking on a supernatural, hyperbolic form, as all ideals are wont to do because they are not restricted by the real.
Survival at all costs, even denial of self so as to preserve it, in the form of a "greater" abstracted self - a nil-self.

One-god was a method of worshiping oneself, via a projected abstraction of an-otherness....and the denial of oneself is part of this strategy using projections represented by externalized words/symbols.
When self is externalized it can be preserved indefinitely.
One "escapes" responsibility and mortality.

Of course, they don't define the words they use - even while using them magically - because - according to them - this would impose their definitions on others, and words are defined subjectively.
The real reason is that they don't define the words they use because they want them to remain obscure, mystical, so as to be used to claim anything - like a magical spell, a talisman - and to conceal the fact that they don't know what their own words mean - see 'woman' and how they refuse to define the word.
The ILP moron uses the term "Dasein" as if it validated her entire world-view; the term has nothing to do with Heidegger's use, because the I doubt she even understood what his thesis. She sues it to imply that we come from nowhere and nothing - tabula rasa - and placed within a culture to be programmed, placing nurture as the only factor and dismissing nature as if it doesn't exit.
This is not novel but typical of all Desperate Degenerates: intellectual dishonesty, cowardice, and deception - feminine word games.  
To define a word would expose their motives and, more importantly, the irrational vacuousness of their own method. It would expose the quality of their mind and the simplicity - primal nature - and naivete of their objectives.
All of them are disillusioned Abrahamics, and Marxists, so we know emotion and romantic idealism is central in their psychosis - they grew up fantasizing about a world with no wars, no suffering, no unloved, nobody excluded, hurt etc.
A Utopian world alluding to a biblical Paradise.
A well-meaning, and quire infantile world-view.
Cynicism only affected their evaluation of others - having been let down and disappointed by the world.
They never, ever, blamed their own judgements for their own disillusionment. We see this in their passionate defence of subjectivity - a desire to never grow up, to never abandon their childish dreams.
They think they've grown-up because they moved from Abrahamic dogma to Marxist and now to postmodernism - this they call "maturation" or "progress", failing to even see the common thread running across all these world-views.

With no evidence, no reasoning, no arguments for their own naïve objectives they simply try to reduce the other's confidence in their own opinions, and force them to admit, at least, that their own absurdities are no less likely than any other's.
They demand "respect" and to be taken seriously, though they fail to earn it.
Undermining the other's confidence is a feminine method of dealing with an adversary she cannot argue against - instead of attacking his arguments and offering superior alternatives a woman will attack your motives, your personality, your ego, your confidence....forcing you to turn away in frustration, at which time she will claim victory.

We see this clearly in the development of Marxism.
Having failed to predict a proletariat uprising they became brutal, massacring millions of their own; then this brutality became vengeful, participating in Democratic institutions to increase the suffering of those who fail to rise up, as expected, for their own good, convinced that ratcheting up poverty and desperation will finally force the masses - they pretend to want to save - to rise up against their "oppressors"; then, having failed again, they partake in the system of exploitation, becoming opportunists, using Marxism as a hated capitalists uses money - currency they liquidate to live the 'good life' selling hope to those that don't know what is good for them - essentially participating ni the exploitation of those they've lost respect for; but when even this fails to offer them pleasure they turn, like women, to psychology and word-games to subvert the mases at their core - attacking their sense of identity, their sense of self, their ego...their masculinity.

A vindictive woman always attacks a male's masculinity, what she believes is his vulnerability; her weapons are sexual.
We see this in the current American identity crisis - Wokism.
A sexual attack, primarily against heterosexual males of European descent.
All others are collateral damage. Their primary targets are defined as "Nazis" or "white privilege" or "paternalism" or "white supremacists" - exposing the source of their mentoring, and the inspiration of their civilizational subversion.

Postmodernism, as a Political weapon, is not a new phenomenon of course.  Since time immemorial, ancient human drives devised schemes and tactics to undermine neighboring, opposing, and warring tribes.  And why not?  Why not destroy your enemies from within?  Yes, this is a more undermined and 'feminine' tactic of war, poisoning the well, yet it is another weapon.

And so, over time, the course of millenniums now, and centuries, those who have specialized in Demoralization have perfected their craft: "Marxism".  Since these 'feminine' types cannot defeat their enemies Militarily and Physically, through direct, kinetic warfare, then they must revert to their favored and most effective means: covert warfare.  This type of political warfare, again, has a long history, concentrated in the Middle East, as the fulcrum between three continents, Europe, Africa, and Asia.  These small bits of (supposed) "Holy Land", were highly prized.  This fulcrum could not defend itself militarily, and thus, evolved into these 'feminine' tactics and strategies over time.

Just flip a few pages into Abrahamism, what does it teach, to wield a "sword" and divide family, "father and son" apart.  These tactics, to destroy the families of their opposition, is clear and literal.  They didn't hide this Admission.  They took Pride in it.  They still do, today.  And if you criticize Them, then *YOU* are blacklisted and attacked.  If you expose these Demoralization and Feminine political warfare tactics, then *YOU* are the badguy.  You are the "Hater", by speaking about such things.


Thus, their success is also quickly apparent.  That if you want to defend your family, then you must be a "far-rightist".  And if you're actually a liberal-leftist-democrat, then your family is spared, for now, as long as you remain Loyal to these Postmodern and Marxist political agendas.  Your loyalty must be "Absolute", and unquestioning.  Who dictates and controls the terms, the direction, of these lunatic ideologies?  Seek and ye shall know.

Postmoderns will claim a woman can be a man, and a man a woman, but will be unable to define what a woman or man is.
Like all postmoderns they will use words to undermine words. Use words to transmit a radical message, that all words, or some words, are meaningless, but will never be able to explain how one can discern one from the other or define what 'meaning' is.

All they care about is undermining the culture they feel oppressed by - this they learned by a certain group that has made subversion - rebelliousness - using words to psychologically manipulate and exploit, into an artform.

There no way anyone can deal with this level of emotional irrationality.
Their inevitable fate is the only way to get rid of this psychosis - a matter of time.
They are a symptom of empire decline - like all symptoms you cannot get rid of them without dealing with the underlying disease.
Modern nihilists are not the first, nor will they be the last.
Like all diseases they emerge when the organism is declining towards its end - they come out to feed upon the carcass before it has spent its last breath.

Where does postmodernism come from?
That's right Frankfurt School....
Look into the names and dates. Look into origins.
Find patterns there.

All postmodernism has is semiotics, e.g., language, symbols, abstractions...ideas, concepts.
None of this affects the world beyond humanity, so humanity, for him, is the world and language represents the divine, the abstract, the noetic, psiritual....world order since language can only represent order, manmade order, order as humans perceive, and understand it.
So, in fact, language represents how the human brain works, i.e., thinks, conceptualizes, relates, reacts...translates, subjectively (interprets) the world.
This becomes the basis of the Abrahamic one-god and his negation, for manmade order can be easily negated by man, by simply inverting his own representations, i.e., interpretations.
This manmade world can then be denies relevance - there can only ever be subjectivity, and inter-subjectivity which can be consolidated into a singularity....when objective reality is dismissed.

Sloterdijk, Pete wrote:
Rousseau knew of two aids who could illustrate his point of view, two classes of human beings who lived before civilization and, consequently, before perversion: the noble savage and the child. Enlightenment literature develops two of its most intimate passions around these two figures: ethnology and pedagogy. To the present day nothing has essentially changed in this approach. Literarily, this double passion precipitates two extensive genres: exotic travel literature and later ethnology on the one hand, and the educational novel and the literature on pedagogy and child development on the other. The primitive peoples, about whom the European explorers from Columbus to Bougainville and Captain Cook reported, provide an enlightenment, which was gradually becoming more political, the urgently needed evidence for its view that, roughly stated, things can ‘proceed differently’ —peacefully, reasonably, humanely, sensuously, without aristocracy, without war, without exploitation, without wigs, without lettres de cachet. The noble savages in the South Seas are like an Archimedean point through which one can playfully dislodge the claim of European social orders to be ordained by God and therefore unexcellable. Something different does exist; at the same time, it is better. What is reasonable can thus also become real. That is all enlightenment is trying to say.

Schopenhauer, Arthur wrote:
Ordinary minds show, even in the smallest affairs, a want of confidence in their own judgments, just because they know from experience that it is of no use to them. With them prejudice and following the judgment of others take its place. In this way they are kept in a state of permanent nonage, from which scarcely one in many hundreds is emancipated. Naturally this is not avowed, for even to themselves they seem to judge; yet all the time they are casting a furtive glance at the opinion of others, which remains their secret point of direction.
[World as Will and Representation (vol.2)]
