Well first of all: https://www.mgtow.tv/v/aWtksp

And second: https://www.mgtow.tv/v/CjLpnI

That said, UAE is not for me.

@philosophy @rohrkrepierer

And there you stand alone.

@philosophy @rohrkrepierer

The Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches are the true churches. Always have been.

@philosophy @rohrkrepierer

Makes more sense now in light of the Baptist thing. Personally, I consider Roman Catholicism and Protestantism Christian heresies.

You might like John Vervaeke's Meaning Crisis series. It's relevant that he also came from a Baptist background because it drove him deep into philosophy for much the same reasons as you.

Interestingly enough, his journey has all the signs of him making peace with Christianity through his recent conversations with an Orthodox bishop.

@philosophy @rohrkrepierer

Ideally, the energy you have for wanting to understand these things would have been recognized by elders with the same broad interest. You would have been directed towards a path that allows you to explore those things in depth.

And if the result was you spending 20 years in a cave, I suspect that your revelations would include lots of gratitude, compassion for others, and love. For ourselves and the messes we make of everything.

Even though everyone is retarded.

@philosophy @rohrkrepierer

> As soon as other people are involved, negotiations must occur and the will becomes involved. It's in silence that God is inevitably found.

This is the crux of the paradox.

Granted, monks in all faiths attest to the truth that the fastest & perhaps purest route to God is through silent asceticism.

And yet Monkhood is deeply social since it can only survive through others, can only be practised through negotiation with others.

And from this flows many things.

@philosophy @rohrkrepierer

That is what is called a social solution. And although Theosis has private applicability, it is accessed through a public interface. Call it Sangha if you really want, it doesn't matter.

Your contempt for pro-social religion, specifically Christianity, comes across as reflexive.

@philosophy @rohrkrepierer

The entire reason for Christianity's unparalleled global success has been that it is accessible, understandable and compatible with every level of cognition and all stations of life.

From the clinical idiot to the genius. Children, parents, ascetic monks, warriors.

Theosis is the answer and YOUR route is to monk it out. But the pro-social route in Orthodoxy is to onboard the concept from within families, learn through the Church and be supported in that journey.

@rohrkrepierer

You first. In fact, I hear the Middleton technique is all the rage these days - hang yourself then shoot yourself in the chest. You got this!!

@rohrkrepierer @philosophy

Dude, I think your brain is made of scrambled eggs. Literally nothing you wrote makes any coherent sense.

Wipe the spittle off your chin and start again perhaps.

This time, ask yourself why every American buddhist you meet is also an equality-loving commie.

My fave 7-deadly sin was Ban, Fox's Sin of Greed. What's yours? And you can't say Ponticus ..

@philosophy @rohrkrepierer

Orthodox Jews, Christians and Muslims all have a fasting calendar and encourage periods of self-denial without going full Jain.

You never go full Jain.

@philosophy @rohrkrepierer

>Doesn't matter if it's compatible with everyday "family" life

Again, lol. Socially, it has to otherwise it's clearly not "the answer".

Reach the major milestones in life first - get married, start a family, develop a career, be known in your community - and then tallk to me about how compatible asceitism is with that, because if you can't then it's of no fucking use.

All the Orthodox Abrahamic religions have solved this by incorporating elements of asceticism.

@rohrkrepierer @philosophy

Lol. It makes me laugh when you materialist nihilists reach this point and call it "Jesus Fascism".

What happened, the Will to Power journey harder than you thought? Even Nietzsche had more respect for Christianity than that, and that's counting that he didn't really know about the Orthodox concept of theosis, or Orthodoxy in general.

Asceticism isn't exactly a family activity, & "freedom" is not only vague, but repulsive to the majority.

So Buddhism amirite?

@I_AmTheKnight @FinalDresdonation @basedbagel @southpole21

It won't work.

Let's travel through your universe together and see what happens.

> we just simply get rid of the quota system and tell them if they want jobs they have to compete with men on an equal playing field.

Where's the precedent for this? The overwhelming majority of men will physically FIGHT you to not make women accountable in the way you want. And Feminist money will shut it down.

Now you are faced with guns, what next?

@Tfmonkey

As a bonus, the soundtrack to AntiLogic's video is fucking-A; a synth-wave cover of the Pixies "Where Is My Mind?"

Another great version of this in Sucker Punch if I remember correctly.

@Tfmonkey

I saw "Fight Club" with a buddy when it came out in 1999 and it blew my mind-hole wide open.

I've always liked Bob's interpretation ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpxHFNvlUmU ...

... but I watched AntiLogic?'s take on it after you mentioned it ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHE7oBvOk9U ...and my gut tells me that his insights are deeper when taken as a standalone movie instead of a movie+book thing.

Appreciate the recommend. He took the time to deep-dive Fight Club and that's an instant subscribe.

It's happening ..
