Lies, Cons,and the American Way

Imma share with u what i call the most dangerous, most paralyzing idea.

It's very difficult to completely rule out the possibility of an eternal recurrence (see Nietzsche). Such a theory is no more ridiculous than christian theory. But if it were true, and one lived as a Christian in this world, they would be sealing their fate for eternity. It would be like a spiritual suicide. One would be an eternal victim of the horrors and injustices of this world. Over and over and over again, nailed to the cross they would be, just like your boy J.

A more strategic move in such a case would be to 'become more evil' as N put it. Which essentially means mastering this world and pushing it into your service.

Discuss.

Holy crap i just had a eureka moment. Prometheus (moi) is Iblis's avenger. Check it out. So God's like 'kneel before man' and iblis is like 'no u'. Then god kicks iblis out. So then Prometheus comes along and he's like 'so god wants u to worship man, eh? Alright watch this. What we'll do then is defy god and bring man up to his level by closing the rift and creating heaven on erf. See what i just did there, Ibs? The mutherfucker wants u to worship man? fine. Imma give man the fire to be a god then'. Then Iblis was like 'bro that's brilliant, let's do it'.

And then karl marx is born, the non plus ultra humanist, slayer of gods and bringer of peace on erf (relatively speaking... there will still be problems this ain't no utopia).

So what's happening is Ibs, Prom and the Beard (the IPB counsel) are racing against time to save mankind from god the neurotic asshole who's tryna shut everything down like a big baby.

Are u seein it?

Capitalism was put into the program by god to purposely destroy the erf. The IPB counsel has vowed to stop it and save the world.

Man this is gettin good.

Where's fishpi?

Fish look at this: Cap_It_all_ism.

Put a cap on it. Stop it all. Destroy the erf.

Maybe we're better off dead, and an all knowing, all loving God is bettering our lots.

An all knowing and all loving God would not create life in which one is better off dead. Think again.

Let me help out:

And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;

And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

Looks profound. What does it mean? What is the poet pointing to?

Robert Frost was at a dinner.party and a pretty young co-ed was talking to him. "I love your latest piem, Mr Ftost," she said. "But I'm not sure what it means. Can you explain?"

"What fo you want?" asked the poet. "For me to say it over again in worser English?"

In other words, you don't know. Nice spelling BTW.

No. In other words s poem cannot be paraphrased. If it could, the art form would not exist. (Sorry about the typos. I'm away from home and typing on my phone.)

Poems are meant to be talked about and related to. They are meant to be discussed. Simply pointing to someone asking what your interpretation of a poem is, and then making casual remarks about illiteracy is not very considerate.

Who made such comments? I told an amusing anecdote about Robert Frost.

Why? What relevance was it? It said nothing in terms of what your interpretation of the poem was.

And it sounded mostly like you were poking fun (with a lot of exaggeration) at someone with poor English skills.
