threads are slow here yeah, also there's a matrix chat. Users here don't like using discord for infosec reasons.

>>24046
I get that, I've tried matrix but it seemed dead to me (or maybe no one wanted to respond to me lol). I have no attachment to discord, if there are people who want matrix (or other apps) I'm fine with that, I chose discord because it's normie friendly.

I made a matrix server too https://matrix.to/#/#reading-group:matrix.org

>>24047
You could also think about bridging the matrix and discord. Seems quite simple if you have anywhere to run the bot https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-discord#end-user-documentation

>>24049
Good idea, I'll look into it if there is a significant amount of members on matrix.

I heard Nikocado started his career as sort a joke/whim.
All the people morally obsessing over him because of his obesity are the reason why shock jock artists exist

People are addicted to indignation. And that addiction to indignantion is what fuels self-righteousness.

Everyone thinks to themselves "That could never be me. I'm too smart/mature for this". And then it happens. They fell into a rut and are desperate for saving face. This is the problem with LeftyPol.
They all whine about the right being hypocrites and cringe lords, yet their own camp does the same shit.

LeftyPol whines about "women are gold diggers". They whine about certain ethnic minorities being troublesome (Indians in this case).
They go hysterical over entertainment franchises having canon-reboot sequels.
Alot of them are NEETs or semi-NEETs who think they're owed free money for being miserable bastards.

So that's why Nietzsche says "God is dead and we killed Him"?
Of course, Christians take it out of context and frame it as an attack against their religion.

>thread about the power and danger of freemasonry gets derailed into schizobabble about aliens and a discussion of christianity
Wasn't convinced about a masonic conspiracy until I saw this thread and noticed masons scrambling to divert. Trotsky and Molotov were right. Communists must kill all freemasons.

Some of our early post-Revolutionary War American presidents were anti-Masons.

>No mention that Allende was a freemason
Damn

I started reading "wages of destruction".

And then we have the final aspect of Eugene's typical theatrics, to declare, in total doom, that anything he dislikes (or, in most cases, misunderstands) is ontologically evil and going to destroy or set back the human race to a disastrous degree. Just more paranoid conjecture being shoveled as a blanket statement down our unwilling throats.

Now go 'filter' yourself, retards.

Typo corrections since this site has no editing feature:
>less concerned with *ecology
>an effect *doesn't cease to count
(oh, and on that note, the contradiction, in case it wasn't obvious, concerns your original statement against the premise that 'all is life', as by your own standards any activity in existence would now constitute the threshold of categorical life)
>if the basic level *was merely a non-thing, it would remain inert
>as *purely being the reflection of cognitive interfacing
>*born out of cognitive *consequence
>of the *thing's innate intelligibility
>would mean *that they are phenomenally symbolic and contingent upon interpretation, i.e. the very *premise you're now attempting to discredit
>all attempts at defining life will bode symbolic registration, to *hope otherwise would be to exist outside of language and cognition

>In *an *a-posteriori manner

Oh sweet Jesus, I do not care about your bullshit.

Everything you say is a giant sand castle erected to defend the central conceit of "the gene" as an unknowable-yet-imminent foundation of life, and by extension all that exists. It is you who needs to uphold the almighty "gene" for petty and stupid reasons. If genetic material does not conform to an insane and contradictory outcome to possess a "master key" to justify this ruinous social order, then the theory must be thrown out until "history is corrected".

I'm trying to break out of the ruin of stupid thinking like yours. It is probably impossible, because anything contrary to the eugenic creed is automatically inadmissible in this Satanic world-system. But, we can speak among each other, for what little good that does.

I don't need to know much about this new theory you present because I've heard the hectoring and the excuses a million times before. It always exists to uphold the imperious claims made about "life", which are immediately used to justify invasion and pressing the nerve. A Satanic race cannot change.

To bring this back to the original topic, the point I'm making is that "life" does not entail the loaded definitions of such that are presented ad nauseum in the academy, always with a pseudo-religious fanaticism. I say "pseudo" because we know the only religion these people believe in is Eugenics, and every false theory that is erected is a lie for public consumption rather than anything anyone uses. Eugenics itself makes predictions about reality that must become true. If "genes aren't real", then there is no Christ as far as they care. It would be the end of everything for them.

My point is that life simply doesn't mean what the ideology requires it to mean, and speaking of living things is a very limited proposition. I would say based on that that viruses aren't living, because by definition the virus is inert material until "activated". At most it would be a highly abstracted "life-form", and at some point you have to ask if it is the virus that lives or some disease or outcome of the virus's activation that is granted its own force in our theories of knowledge. The root of the question comes back to the original genetic myth and beliefs in essentialism, rather than anything life does or any way we can speak of life-forms.

The human being isn't just "genes" or a carrier for genes. The development of its body, its bones, and the history of a human, has its own existence apart from "genetic purpose". The same is true of any life-form, even if the life-form exists primarily as an abstract notion of such, like speaking of a particular disease as a "life-form" perpetuating itself. Most diseases, though, aren't life-forms at all or entities with their own existence. Diseases inhabit hosts, and what a body does in response to a disease is primarily that body's response to a condition, usually to "process" the disease. Something like smallpox never leaves the body, and that's why it confers life-long immunity, but the ailment passes after some time. Perhaps the disease leaves a permanent mark on functioning, but the immunity arises because you're still carrying it. Not every disease does this, but the smallpox family does. When you look at the "holy genome" of a human body, you're going to find a lot of alien material that isn't "supposed" to be there.

I recon they're part of the logistics part of production. Like they enable the ones that are directly producing commodities to do so in some form or another.

Fuck Stalin

我也来自中国。这个网站让我体会到了一些更本土化的东西，不是被什么逆天营销号或者反动自媒体转述的东西，算是拓宽了视野吧。这个地方对中国人来说真像一个荒地，你可能遇见别的中国人，但是你们只能说再见

Just jump in. The prison notebooks is just his random thoughts, it's not like really dense complex arguments for the most part. The hardest part is sorting through the weird terminology he uses to evade the prison censor. The edition I have has a lot of explanatory footnotes.
