Great tempo and clarity to your readings, thoroughly enjoyable

Thanks, I try to walk the line between too fast and too slow

I've noticed that whether I agree with Nietzsche or Schopenhauer depends heavily on whether I'm in a caloric surplus or deficit

This is one of my favourite channels on KZbin, love what you do Grimscribe

[@grimscribe6454]

Thanks so much. That means a lot

There is nobody listening to this. I'm just an idea from nowhere.

Thank you for continuing your work on this project!

this is great to put all the hippy dippy wellness meditation folks in place ... In India this would anger the old budhist monks, all men, all regressive pack of hegemons.

UG Krishnamurti said that they were all deluded or charlatans just like any other religious fanatics

[@MarcosRodriguez-lw1xy]

And so the last man stood alone, the names of the greats forgotten, his gods and fathers dead. Legacy? The human spirit? Moral duty? All malignantly useless in the face of the infinite void and silence that follows. And so the last man knew himself. Silence.

This is it right here. Maybe that's the destiny of the human race

Another great upload. Thank you, Grimscribe.

[@airportspongebath]

Thank you. I don’t think there’s anything else worth saying to this. Just, thank you for doing this.

[@grimscribe6454]

My pleasure...more soon!

Fantastic reading. Thanks I first learned of Julius Bahnsen upon reading The Conspiracy Against the Human Race and have since been intrigued by this latter day member of the high Pessimist era. To my knowledge, nothing of his work has been translated, expect what Ligotti quotes in his opening epigraph. Recently I discovered it again, this time in The Other Side, by Alfred Kubin. I wonder if Ligotti found it here, as I'm sure this is an influence on his own fiction, or at least a welcome affinity.

[@grimscribe6454]

I’ll have to check that one out, thanks!

I was just, JUST, thinking about this channel (and the ETA of Pt. 3)--and here it turns up in my Notifications, and there is absolutely nothing creepy about that, no sir. Cheers!

Your doing great, keep it up

In my country we call ot "Anathma" not Annata athma means "Self " but bcz the words origin is in an Old language you can also name it as "spirit " But in the reality athma = self = spirit Anyhow , there is convincing evidence that Buddhas original teaching might have been changed throughout the years . This idea of rebirth and state of being a spirit between lives can be a concept injected into Buddhism by people , bcz how intolerable is the original Pessimistic buddhism . They created an Unachievable state of "Rahath/enlightened" and Nirwana to justify them leading a normal life like any person qho believes in an optimistic religion , which is the default belief system for humans

Imagine waking up enlightened.

[@zyxwfish]

What is enlightenment?

[@phantomb8832]

@@zyxwfish I Kant say.

[@hectorlamar806]

How would you know?

[@owlytimbre9103]

You, kant, always get what you want.

[@uvindukulathunga3860]

Buddhist enlightenment or Nirwana is a "Unachievable "fantasy state ,Buddhist "followers" made up to justify being Christinas , which is the default religion for Humans There is a high possibility that Buddha was asking people to stop reproducing

lmao. it does sound like a Method Man album nbs.

[@alexg9693]

Hey Grim, do you take requests?

[@grimscribe6454]

Sure! I always like to know what people are interested in. Doesn’t mean I’ll get to it right away but I’ll put it on my list

[@alexg9693]

@@grimscribe6454 Awesome! I was wondering if you do Horror novels at all? I was thinking maybe The Graveyard Apartment by Mariko Koike?

[@grimscribe6454]

@@alexg9693 I would definitely be interested in novels at some point. I’ll take a look, thanks

Bruh Ligotti literally Crap on Niztche on this one . Normal optimistic people (who know enough philosophy ) love to quote Niztche against Schopenhauer's arguments . Despite being a pessimist , I get baffled by the fact that how blind , ignorant and dillusional people are .

[@opium884]

Yeah boii
