"I don’t know what any of these words mean and when I do they are not very pleasant to read while eating. Not a breakfast book." — Dec 27, 2025 02:52PM

"Finished Twilight of the Idols. Since Nietzsche pulls from pretty much all of philosophy and of 19th century German culture, a lot goes over my head. But there is also a lot of gems here. I can also see why he’s known as “edgy”: this is basically a drive-by on the Greeks and Christianity and all our values stemming from them" — Nov 30, 2025 09:29AM

“If you can think of times in your life that you’ve treated people with extraordinary decency and love, and pure uninterested concern, just because they were valuable as human beings. The ability to do that with ourselves. To treat ourselves the way we would treat a really good, precious friend. Or a tiny child of ours that we absolutely loved more than life itself. And I think it’s probably possible to achieve that. I think part of the job we’re here for is to learn how to do it”

“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
