In a ploy to produce more popular content I’m going to become a Ray Peat influencer without knowing anything about what that means. Here is a delicious mango condensed milk gelatin conglomeration. It may or may not be good or bad for you, who knows.
Proof of concept adapting Damon’s chart of Blake’s description of the gates of Golgonooza onto a 4D Hypercube. The four points, Eden, Generation, Beulah, and Ulro have gates which open into each other’s gates creating a fourfold structure of Los’s labors at his forge.
Universal suffrage does not differ from the drawing of lots. A summary of Kojeve’s argument from The Notion of Authority 🧵: The genesis of Authority is of one or more of a combination of these irreducible types [Leader, Judge, Father, Master] that is engendered
Mussolini in stating that he was “the head of this association of delinquents” birthed a notion of such rhetorical force rebounding through the years into the mouth of Hillary Clinton as a basket of deplorables.
“Lenin evolved almost a new medium, a sort of expression half way between writing and action.” —Ezra Pound
This connects to Groys’ idea of the Linguistification of Society where language replaces money and markets as the medium for directing human activity.

All Animals upon the Earth, are prepar’d in all their strength

Recently married guy said that he wouldn’t be having kids because he doesn’t have enough money, even though they just spend 15k to save their geriatric dog who died anyway? Millennials are a strange bunch.
Dawkins’ "Cultural Christianity" is just a variation on the Natural Morality of the Deists that Blake denounces. Cultural Christianity is not the religion of Jesus. Dawkins’ Christianity that "conserves his civilization" is only the religion of Satan.
"Like many atheists, Dawkins is discovering too late that the religious beliefs he worked so hard to destroy were, in fact, the foundation on which his civilization rested."
Ezra Pound said that one could learn more from William Mahl's The Age of Gold about monopolizing the gold in 1869, than one is likely to learn from historiographers. Genuinely funny and worth the read if you haven’t heard of James (“Jubilee Jim”) Fisk and his exploits.
Polish composer was so captivated by a medieval chant that he stayed up all night drinking black coffee which made him fail his medical exam, exempting him from military service, so he could keep on composing.
As Blake said—“Names alter, things never alter.” Druidism is a State of error and it still has its priests (whether they know it or not) who are stuffing humans into the Wicker man of nature.
Its too bad Wagner decided not to move to the US and build his Festspielhaus in Minnesota. Instead of Parsifal he would have written folk operas about American heros like the Swedenborgian Jonny Appleseed or an adaptation of Tom Sawyer.
Which reminds me of Blake’s address To the Jews in Jerusalem: “You have a tradition, that Man anciently contain’d in his mighty limbs all things in Heaven and Earth: this you received form the Druids. ‘But now the Starry Heavens are fled from the mighty limbs of Albion.’”
There is a Void, outside of Existence, which if enterd into Englobes itself & becomes a Gas Station…A pleasant Shadow of Repose call’d Buc-ee’s lovely Land.
I ask for mutual aid for a differently-abled, homeless poet-comrade and cinephile who was verbally assaulted by an insensitive posse of “ Maga-Communists” despite that he has, in the Praxis of being alive, done more for Communism than any of us ever will. Venmo:

Rogert, the hand of God, arranged so beautifully an eclipse of an even greater magnitude this weekend by aligning HOLE, the sun, and Ezra Pound Groyper, the moon, inside his house so that we might be dazzled by the Corona of their combined powers.
Y2K_mindset’s fall is merely the reenactment of ancient fertility rites associated with the dying-and-rising god. Not all are so lucky to be a vessel for such mythic patterns spiraling out from the foundation of the earth. Can you possibly imagine in what splendor he will return?
Watched The East is Red in class today. I was smiling and nodding along “Yes, Mao did love the people very very much!” Professor exclaims that something is very disturbing about all this… “Wow Mao really is the Sun King just like Louis XIV, but Red!”
I went for a walk today and spoke with a lady outside her house. We ended up discussing Theosophy, Vril power, Crowley, Lucifer Rising, UFOs, her experiments in remote viewing and all her colleagues who were involved in psychedelics research before being shut down…
Goodbye, Ohio River Valley. I stuck myself in your soil and you have nurtured me like one of your own. But now my limbs are barren and I must move to more supportive climes. Go west my son. Go west…
If you think a work of art is not worth preserving, then it’s not worth destroying either. Imagine if you actually destroyed a painting you loved as an act of protest—much more powerful.

Pro-palestine protesters DESTROY historic painting of Lord Balfour in Trinity College at the University of Cambridge, by spraying and then slashing it.
I suggest that you slow your day down, and head down to the store and buy some pimento cheese and perhaps even an Arnold Palmer, and sit down and watch The Masters live coverage from Amen Corner. Soon you will be asking yourself, “Was Adam ever cast out of Paradise?”
What esoteric knowledge of Poland do I need to impress my new Polish in-laws? I already know the history of Polish art song and have read 60 pages of Gombrowicz but that won’t be enough.
Frankly astounded by fellow leftists who are participating in this mis-and-disinformation holiday. Congrats, you're a puerile puppet of Putin's playbook. This will not be forgotten on election night!!
Evil Peat quoting Blake doctor whispering “..You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough” as he administers a lethal dose of Methylene blue into your body.
They recast one of my speaking roles because I “looked too young.” My eternal youth and beaming bright face have only caused me sorrow and discrimination.
I like Trumps use of Noun Capitalization. It turns things into Concepts and temporality into Eternity by elevating the rough, common subjects of Discourse into States that appear as if they had always existed, nascent for full Life, within the womb of Logos itself.
Aesop was wrong “slow and steady” does not win the race—fast and steady does, but everyone wants an excuse to think they can be awful at something and still win.
I miss working for the census bureau. Drove around looking for addresses in the middle of nowhere. Only threatened a few times. A woman invited me inside her trailer and on the mantel a Trump shrine filled with memorabilia as if she was pleasing a household god.
