El poeta

Lo scopo della filosofia è di partire da qualcosa di tanto semplice da non sembrare degno di essere detto per arrivare a qualcosa di tanto paradossale che nessuno vi crederà.

My whole year has felt like this picture of Kirsten Dunst. I cannot explain in more detail:

“Literature cannot assume the task of regulating collective necessity. It should not conclude that ‘what I have said commits us to a fundamental respect for the laws of the city’ or, like Christianity, that ‘what I have said (the tragedy of the Gospel) shows us the path of Good’ (which is really the path of reason). Literature, like the infringement of moral laws, is dangerous.”

Ni una cerveza más para esta chica.

It’s very clear that no amount of technology—no amount of internet, AI, computers, nanotechnology, space exploration, or biotechnology—will put an end to warfare, racism, or climate disruption. None of these advancements will resolve the conflicts we face in the world, because their roots lie in the human heart. Without an inner transformation, an outer transformation will not happen.

“Life breeds both plenitude and void, exuberance and depression. What are we when confronted with the interior vortex which swallows us into absurdity?”
