When I saw you can’t do hedonism I was like “It’s not for me then”
Do you follow Dokkodo? How do you know about Miyamoto Musashi?
I read philosophy. A lot of different philosophies. Mostly Western philosophy right now. I agree with this philosophy
That’s great! Philosophy is a really interesting field. I would like to read up on John Locke and his contribution to the Enlightenment.
I came acroos Zappa’s ‘The Last Great Elk’ recently also known as ‘The last messaiah’.
It is about the ending of humanity by not reproducing for a few reasons such as humanity has developed past its best before date in terms of consciousness and it is pointless for the race to continue.
“
“The Last Great Elk” (Zappa‑style spirit, in essence)
A playful but deadly‑serious idea:
A lone creature who sees through the madness of the herd, refuses the rituals, and walks its own path — even if it means walking alone.
It’s the myth of the outsider who won’t bow to noise, fashion, or collective delusion.
“The Last Messiah” (Zapffe’s doctrine, in a few words)
Peter Wessel Zapffe’s idea, distilled:
Humans became too self‑aware for their own good.
Consciousness is a burden we can’t carry, so we invent distractions, illusions, and beliefs to avoid seeing the truth.
The “Last Messiah” is the one who refuses all illusions and sees reality naked — and is crushed by it.”
