Interesting exchange from the Reed Smoot hearings, a series of Congressional hearings on whether the Senate should seat Mormon apostle Reed Smoot, who was elected by the Utah legislature in 1903. The hearings lasted from 1904 to 1907 and Smoot was eventually allowed to retain his seat. Smoot himself had only one wife.

Senator Joseph Hoar: Now I will illustrate what I mean by the injunction of our scripture, what we call the New Testament.

Church President Joseph F Smith: Which is our scripture also.

Senator: Which is your scripture also?

Smith: Yes, sir.

Senator: The apostle says a bishop must be sober and be the husband of one wife.

Smith: At least.

You're catholic? I thought you were raised Pentecostal

I feel like I've made over 9000 posts about this but here we go again: I was raised in the Freewill Baptist Church, which is somewhere between Baptists and Pentecostalism. I was never baptized in the religion. I became a Catholic when I lost my mind as a result of being in the deep throes of active addiction bouncing between that and severe withdrawal. I still feel there's some validity to the idea that you're "once a Catholic, always a Catholic."

I do not practice my old faith and would describe myself as an agnostic or, if I'm feeling cheeky, "religious but not spiritual." I think there's some value to religion considering its fruitful interaction with philosophy, the beautiful mythology and literature, and the aesthetic beauty of some of the rites as a form of psychotheatre, but I do not think like a believer.

If it's good enough for Oscar Wilde it's good enough for me.

"The only church that illuminates is a burning church." - Durruti

Today is the 90th anniversary of the Spanish Revolution, and there WAS a Spanish Revolution, not just a Civil War, as some revisionist historians have tried to assert. If you're unfamiliar with the topic, a good place to start would be Chomsky's "Objectivity and Liberal Scholarship" or George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia.

There are similarities between Stirnerian egoism, Epicureanism, and Buddhism in that all three advocate self-enjoyment and a kind of detachment, ataraxia or "middle way" between indulgence and self-denial. The ataraxic dimension of egoism is often overlooked, I think because of Stirner's often provocative or melodramatic tone. But Stirner recommended avoiding fanaticism, monomania, or letting one's passions and appetites get the better of them. Tsuji Jun notably combined Buddhist, Epicurean, and Stirnerian influences, though his frequent overindulgence in sex and alcohol show that he didn't entirely take Epicurus's advice to heart.

I think a lot of people would be turned off from reading St Augustine's Confessions because it's 1) quite old 2) "sold" in a bad light as a "religious book" (and religious books have a bad reputation for many intellectuals). I read the book a few summers ago and was deeply moved by what might be the first modern autobiography. Augustine is still very timely, wise, often hilarious, and reminds me of another one of my favorite writers, Kierkegaard.

“The only innocent feature in babies is the weakness of their frames; the minds of infants are far from innocent. I have watched and experienced for myself the jealousy of a small child: he could not even speak, yet he glared with livid fury at his fellow-nursling.” - Augustine of Hippo, Confessions

First boy I ever slept with - I was 17, he was 25 - tried to rape me one night while we were spending the night together. I ended up having to physically pick him up and throw him on the floor, and after that he never tried anything like that again. We were always perfectly cordial after that - he apologized to me and I thought, well, we all go a little mad sometimes, but now when I'm thinking about that I'm wondering if that shouldn't have been a bigger deal to me.

He's got severe, apparently untreated, schizophrenia and usually when I hear from him now it's to complain about his gangstalkers or the surveillance devices that have been implanted into his body.

I thought we had no direct confirmation of the egoist influence on Ito Noe, just circumstantial evidence, but it turns out she did pen an explicitly egoist article for another feminist magazine (not Seito) late in her career.

For someone who's allegedly a footnote in the history of philosophy, Stirner's influence keeps turning up like a bad penny, sometimes in places I would never expect.
