“Life itself is essentially appropriation, injury, overpowering of the strange and weaker, suppression, severity, imposition of one’s own forms, incorporation and, at the least and mildest, exploitation….. because life is Will to Power”
— Nietzsche
"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."
— Marcus Aurelius
Nietzsche saw in ancient Greece that Man first became “philosophical” when he began to wrestle with perspectives on reality.
Heraclitus, Parmenides, and the various pre-Socratics began to ponder what is reality. What is Nature? As the Greeks called it: Physics. In ancient Greece, Man began to think dynamically; he broke out of the previous paradigms and reached beyond paradigms.
Isn’t this the perfect ideal in our times of breakneck speed of change? Can’t the only way be the way that puts all our paradigms to the test? Isn’t this fulfilling Darwin’s principle of championing that which makes us most capable of “trying on” new “fits”.
What is technology? Only the rapid transformation of our environments? 200 years ago we were farmers and horse breeders. Then we shoved the peasants of medieval times into factories and cities. Now phones have been sellotaped to our faces and our ideological paradigms are crumbling once again with a neo-Protestant movement.
How can anything rigid respond to this? If you “had it all figured out” twenty years ago, your ideas would have been smashed to pieces by the arrival of Neuralink technologies last year. Isn’t it more honest to say the uncertainty is the constant, and no frozen perspective will work for now?
The best you can do is develop an attitude of dynamism, ready to change at a moment's notice. This is the most terrible thing you can tell the halfwit who likes to put on the dress of a philosopher. As Nietzsche castigated, beware of those who want to make a perfect system; our age is not the age of certainty.
Could it be? The winner is not the strongest ideology, the most perfect system, or even the “truest.” The “way” is to throw a posture of being able to see one perspective, then obliterate it and reconstruct another.
Can you envision the Christ-centered reality, then moments later dethrone him and lift Muhammad as the higher ideal? Can you then ditch both along with the Abrahamic paradigm and develop a cold rationalism? Can you allow your rationalism to carry you to a biological realism? Can you shear through that materialism into quantum physics implying an inevitable Spectral Revolution? Can you grapple with the idea that several of these paradigms may be correct all at once?
Newtonian physics still works for plotting artillery trajectories, but Einstein’s relativity is the paradigm needed for GPS satellites. Nietzsche called this Perspectivism. Jorjani is one of the few people who takes Nietzsche’s Perspectivism seriously and proposes we play with this scary toy.
This is not bizarre or without historical context either. The stereotypical Zen monk says this all the time: the way is no way. Rigidness, fixed thinking, and mental stiffness are the primary obstacles the Eastern monks seek to smash through to achieve elite thinking, or in their words: clarity.

The Gods are with us!
"The Greeks did not see the Homeric gods as set above them as masters, or themselves set beneath the gods as servants, as the Jews did. They saw that they were only the reflection of the most successful exemplars of their own caste, that is to say an ideal, not an antithesis of their own nature. They felt interrelated with them, and there existed a mutual interest, a kind of symmetry ['symmachia']."
— Nietzsche
Roger Scruton coined the term "oikophobia" to describe a hatred of what is familiar. It even applies to worldviews. When we begin from metaphysics, we begin from what is "out there", we try to make the foreign and unfamiliar—even the unknowable—our foundation. Is it any surprise that we are where we are today? Mike completely recasts our worldview from more familiar territory.
We might pause at this point and ask—why? Why do we need to do this? Why recast our whole worldview at all, much less recast it according to life itself? What problem is this solving? The problem it is solving is the problem of universalism.

Its never to late to start your journey to become greater.
All your shit, all your garbage, all that extra weight should not hold you down. Its a lie. It's not to late or in vain.
Discipline is the answer. Discipline is the way.

"But : We're still human. Human because we keep on battling against all these horrors, the horrors caused and not caused by us. We battle not in order to stay alive, that would be too materalistic, for we are body and spirit, but in order to love each other."
— Kathy Acker, Empire of the Senseless
"I evaluate a man by his power to delay his reactions."
Nietzsche
The guy you wanna be at the public gym:
Courteous and respectful, eye contact with a relaxed smile, consistently making obvious improvements across the board while being helpful and encouraging to others.
Guy you don’t wanna be:
Mean mugging, strong insecurity vibe, dropping mediocre weights (and machine stacks!), everything emblazoned with “HARDEST WORKER IN THE ROOM” bullshit, leaving your plates on, invisible lat syndrome walk…
Some days are harder than others not to justify catching a charge in the weight room.
Seriously though fellas - courtesy and a confident friendly attitude signal strength so much more than this goofball bullshit.
Have a good day training, all.
"In an era in which the value of life is extolled for the mere fact of living, regardless of its emptiness, voluntary death sometimes affirms values that go beyond enjoyment or usefulness, and offers horizons beyond nursing home. In the sense that it restores meaning to death, and therefore to life, this act constitutes a refutation of nihilism. It is a proclamation of sovereignty over oneself."
— Venner, The Shock of History: Religion, Memory, Identity
“If the struggle against nihilism is to succeed, it must be fought out in the heart of each one of us. Everyone shared in the guilt, and there is no one who did not stand in need of the healing powers which are to be found in the realms of suffering.”
― Jünger, The Peace
“The legionary spirit is that fire of one who will choose the hardest road, who will fight to the death even when all is already lost.”
— Evola
"The most appropriate type of daily life for me was a day-by-day world destruction; peace was the most difficult and abnormal state to live in"
— Mishima, Sun and Steel
"One of the biggest paradoxes of our world: memories vanish when we want to remember, but fix themselves permanently in the mind when we want to forget."
— Cioran, On the Heights of Despair
"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war I shall forge them. They shall be of iron will and steely sinew. In great armour I shall clad them and with the mightiest weapons shall they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight them. They shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines...and they shall know no fear."

"And where, I ask you, can a man escape when there is not enough madness left inside him? The truth is endless mortal agony. The truth is death. You have to choose: death or lies. I have never been able to commit suicide."
— Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Journey to the End of the Night
“I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me."
— Hermann Hesse
“Each man delights in the work that suits him best.”

Liberalism Is the Murder Weapon
Constantin von Hoffmeister argues that liberalism, through its misguided embrace of "freedom" and multiculturalism, leads to societal fragmentation by promoting individualism over collective unity, thereby confining intelligence within rigid "facts" and undermining any unifying authority that provides meaning and direction to human existence.

"We are our ancestors, our masters, our elders. We are our books, our paintings, our statues, our landscapes."
— Maurras
"It must not be forgotten: 'nation' is a modern invention, a French invention. The birth of the idea of the nation coincides with the collapse of our feudal, aristocratic and imperial ideal." — Evola, Pagan Imperialism
