Friends + Directed Anger = Course Work Survival.

Writing intensively for the RP, I should start a seperate blog for it but, just collecting all of it will probably overwhelm the LME SWRP board, means I'll have to update the file from it's last input point in August. First course at the university I survived by the power of anger directed at the assignments and a good deal more with advice from friends. Anger can become a kinetic power, when you harness it properly there's little that can stand in your way of accomplishment.

Further Evidence of Devo

As supporting evidence of encounters with the beings mentioned I have chosen to name the sub-species of human after the first to display the traits of this form of de-evolution. Homo Tarvinus.

Traits of the sub-species include but are not limited to the following:

Inability and refusal to think for one's self.
Expectation that another will shoulder the subeject's iresponsiblity.
Incapacity to understand failures that to Homo Sapiens are cliche.
Conformity to the lowest common denominator instead of seeking achievement for the joy of expressing the Will to Power.
In General this subtype is leading close to what was described by F. Nietzsche as "The Last Man." see Thus Spoke Zarathustra for more information.

Avoidance of this form of De-Evolution requires the individual to take the very opposite ideal namely the Overhuman.
Cures for Homo Tarvinus, none. As a product of de-evolution the path once started would violate the basic principle of incapacity of independent thought that defines it. The advancement back to Homo Sapien status is too difficult a task a priori.

Measures that can be taken by Homo Sapiens and Overhuman alike: Avoidance of the being and refusal to do the thinking for them until the full degeneracy has set in viz. The Last Man situation by which time the Overhuman and what is unaffected by these changes in the remaining Homo Sapiens are in a position of command concerning the subspecies.

Is it possible for them to mate with Homo Sapiens? -Yes, biology and lack of aesthetics has made such things possible. Can it mate with the Overhuman, biology would not forbid it however, the aesthetic and post-moral choices of the Overhuman make the idea impossible as the Overhuman seeks its' equal or better and nothing less is accepted.

Bugger!

Now for your moment of enlightenment reading: Chapter 2 of How 2 take an exam and remake the world by Bertell Ollman.

Might want to warm up the copier for the game board, check the ink levels if you're going to watch the local news.

Life Events...

Well I've moved from the old flat other than that just driving myself up the walls writing and having a great bit or role playing. I know it's not an excuse simply the truth of the matter. The busted knee is getting better, not that anyone cares. Reaching for something outside perspective relativity I find myself lacking a proper set of parameters. Let this post not be wasted, some cures for writers block: Music, usually the most offensive and lyric complex tend to give one direction when writing. Start with Original Punk, Death-Rock and a little Gothic. Yes, the latter two are entirely divorced in content and themes so it bears worth the mentioning.

The Uses and Disadvantages of Envy or Jealousy.

The positive use of Envy appears when one sees a skill or product that someone else has and it motivates one to pursue with vigour the achievement or obtaining of the product or level of skill presented before one's self in short this it the spark of ambition to be better than before that can come from without oneself. The detrimental use of Envy is to attempt to disparage the person with superior ability or achievement by way of the very advantage the other has over the accuser. This sort of behaviour is a cowardly resentment of those who do not conform to the lowest common example drawn from the morass of the accuser's clique of associates. To the one derided it shows only weakness and the pathos of distance between themselves and the All-Too-Human. Another disadvantage has already been well explored by Peter H. Gilmore in his essay Green Eyed Hamsters in The Satanic Scriptures. It would do one well to pick up his work for a further explanation which I can only aspire to the level of skill of his writing. When I read this book I am inspired to improve myself as a writer.

Take what you can of use from this and work to improve your own life.

Anger without fear.

When are the times of life's situations in which anger is not only proper but, virtuous? As a reactive force against violations against the self and those one has affection for or the homeland ect. As an active force which may be directed away from the cause or directed at the self for not performing as well as desired can be a source of motivation to perform better in one's own world-view. In the former case this is what motivates people to embrace military and legal professions including law enforcement. In this case without anger our world would be a much more dangerous place to exist in as civil society would be reduced to the Anarchist position of no plans and no future, viz. The libertine with the most physical force behind their whim would rule as a despot in the microcosm. The second form is less obvious but, none the less important, perhaps more so. This for form of anger it becomes a motivation toward continual improvement. No books bought from a store on self-improvement can ever equal the power of anger harnessed to motivate oneself to strive further in the same way that pride operates in this domain. One must first become dissatisfied with the present and move toward the better (no matter the circumstance or attribute) with the power of anger or pride the active will charges forth headlong at this goal and through the determination of the will-to-power applied rather than sublimated the person achieves and sometimes exceeds their goal originally. In that last the person will find this victory over situations/self to be addicting causing the desire for more improvement and hence the loop that eventually results in the Ubermenschen in the proper sense. I use the plural with the German term because I do not wish to single out any individual or gender as outstanding in opposition or to the detriment of anyone else. In the proper sense the Ethical Egoist is completely unconcerned with relation to another as a method of evaluation as is tends to degenerate rather than uplift standards driven by the self.

If you find yourself angry or proud after reading this, do something useful with it for your own self-interest which are sanctioned by the laws of society and self. With this feeling behind you after doing that useful something make a note of it and what you have gained, this will remind you of your achievements and show where you've progressed from that moment.

Recovering lost concepts.

Since the rise of christianity western culture has forgotten three vital parts of the past which make Ethical Egoism nearly incomprehensible to the normal person within these societies. The first of these great treasures purposefully neglected was the concept of "Duties to Self". Not just the basics of mere survival but, to love oneself in order that one may be capable of even the smallest bit of actual kindness to another being. The list of these is different by various philosophers from the pre-christian eras however, the one listed makes actual christianity possible. The second concept lost was that forgiveness was not free, one had to earn the way back into the grace of the one they had offended, the confessional gave way to the laziness of letting injustice and churlish behaviour being given a reprieve because of misplaced empathy. With that loss came the increase of reprehensible acts and finger pointing to attempt to justify offending by pointing at the imperfections in the offended which is of course absurd. The third was Conditional Love and the value of it. People who claim to love without conditions are many those who try to practise this nonsense find that there is no standards when evaluating another person. This pseudo-love destroys the natural estimations we make in how a person is to be considered of worth. Conditional Love rests on the premise that virtue must be given it's due in affect and effect of reward while vice cast away from the self and shunned generally. These concepts apply to any morality one may choose to adopt in one's life, quality over quantity in all things friends.
