“Overall, the personality which emerges from the new biography is a sort of #philosophical #AlanPartridge; cantankerous, bearing grudges, and admirably determined to continue in the face of ridicule.” #Schopenhauer open.substack.com/pub/therepub...

Antinatalism kinda extends to humans principles well recognised as compassionate when it comes to their pets: neuter, and rescue over breeder.

an unfinished thought from my drafts:
.
if neurotypes mean a different suite of built in thoughts and/or principles (and that’s what I think), then one of the shitty aspects of that idea is that knowledge isn’t all taught or learned or passed on, if some is built in, then that stuff isn’t coming from school or books or television or propaganda.
.
There’s probably no sense complaing about who said what or what we were taught so much.

(I agree with what Uncle Arturo said)

"In general terms, it is true that wise people throughout history have always
having said the same, and that fools, that is, the vast majority of all times, they've always done the same thing, namely, the opposite, and that's how it will continue.
That is why Voltaire says: "We will leave this world as foolish and wicked as it is we found upon arrival."

🔘A veces nos cruzamos con gente que necesita humillar para sentirse algo, pero no te confundas: eso no es superioridad, es pura inseguridad.
Schopenhauer lo tenía clarísimo; quien te busca las cosquillas con burlas o insultos solo está mendigando una reacción emocional para alimentar su ego.

Entrar al trapo con ira o soltar otro bofetón verbal solo les da lo que quieren.
La verdadera fuerza no es ganar el asalto, sino tener el control de una misma.
Al final, dominar tus emociones demuestra mucho más carácter que dejarte arrastrar por la provocación de turno.

La respuesta más inteligente no es el ataque, es la calma.
No permitas que las palabras de otro decidan lo que vales.
A veces, una dignidad silenciosa mete más ruido que cualquier respuesta impulsiva.

« Trop près, la nuit, le pauvre animal (que nous sommes bien souvent) se pique. Mais trop loin, il crève de froid. Dès lors la vie se transforme en un incessant mouvement dans la quête d'une relation à l'autre qui ne soit ni trop intrusive ni trop à distance. Entre abandon et intrusion, l'espace est si infime... »
– Arthur Schopenhauer, dans Philippe André, Robert Schumann, folies et musiques, Le Passeur Éditeur, 2014, p. 64

Agression militaire en Iran : à force de frapper le droit, c’est la paix même qu’on tue

« L’opération en cours en Iran alimente l’idée qu’un droit international dérogatoire est désormais pleinement consacré — celui des puissants, des forts et des fous. ». Une tribune de l'avocat Romain Ruiz.
