"In the beginning of the end it may feel as if change itself is changing; that the fast is becoming faster; that the extremes are becoming more extreme. When the rate of progress picks up to the point where the limits of human capacities are tested, and things appear to be getting out of control, the capacity of humans to step back and reflect in the most comprehensive manner will be tested."

reading the 2010 Mitchell Heisman nihilism manifesto through a turn of events and it's hitting. specifically this characterization of Jesus as a figure driven by self-hatred. this is from an essay titled, direct quote, 'The Seditious Genius of the Spiritual Penis of Jesus' (lol):

Every word, every thought, and every emotion comes back to one core problem: life is meaningless. The experiment in nihilism is to seek out and expose every illusion and every myth, wherever it may lead, no matter what, even if it kills us.

“Death is the state of total equality between the biological and physical; the state of equality between life and nature at large. Death is achieved when biology or life has lost all subjective, superior, or hierarchical status over nature at large. The end logic of negating all inequality is death.”

The only serious question is whether there is anything to take seriously.
