Re: Nietzsche's positive evaluation of illusion from an aesthetic point of view
"Truth cannot be regarded as the highest power. The will to semblance, to illusion, to deception, to becoming, to change (to objective deception) is to be regarded here as deeper, more original, more metaphysical than the will to truth, to reality, to being - the latter is itself merely a form ...

Re: The Art thread
Check my Favourites folder on DeviantArt; I prefer psychedelic art.
I add one work per artist, but you can click on names and check out galleries independently, of course.

Re: Fodder 'n' Frivolities: a complaint against Spectacle Society
your work has quality . Thanks again for your praise JohnDoe7, happy to have found a fan in you.

Re: Fodder 'n' Frivolities: a complaint against Spectacle Society
Then create a new article, a polar one. You obviously have the writing skills for one, why stop there?
