"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 it aint it'll do till a mess gets here.”
Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men

David Foster Wallace
“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”
David Foster Wallace
