now do Yu Yu Hakusho coward

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war: The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work. Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure. In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation. Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Literatur-Nobelpreis für László Krasznahorkai aus Ungarn Der Literaturnobelpreis geht in diesem Jahr an den ungarischen Schriftsteller László Krasznahorkai. Das gab die Schwedische Akademie am Mittag in Stockholm bekannt.

Kenne leider nichts von ihm, aber jetzt gleich nach dem Impfen schenk ich mir zur Belohnung für die schrecklichen Qualen, dass man sich ohne Zuzahlung unkompliziert und jederzeit gegen sheize Krankeiten immunisieren lassen kann ein Buch von Krasznahorkai!

A lot of dunking going on, but this sort of framing is an egregious failure and its propagation from people with a soapbox is a *problem*

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

hegelian Aufhebung in a german train

Ich bin fassungslos und zittere noch am ganzen Körper. Ich wollte nur im Regio von Jena nach Berlin fahren. Plötzlich stiegen zwei dutzen Hegelianer ein und schlugen alles kurz und klein als sie bemerkten, dass ich in Schellings Philosophie der Offenbarung gelesen habe.
