The four political quadrants

“What would the real gospel be? The real good news is not simply that Jesus of Nazareth was the son of god, but that he was a powerful son of god who came to open everybody’s eyes to the fact that you are, too.”

— Alan Watts, Jesus, His Religion

“The only zen you’ll find on mountaintops is the zen you bring up there with you.”

— Alan Watts

What’s your most popular opinion?

What is your least popular opinion?

“Existence is musical in nature, and it is played beautifully by the cosmic jazz band.”

— Alan Watts, The Joyous Cosmology

Abortion is murder.

You can argue it’s justified in certain cases, just as there are legitimate justifications for lethal force, but it will never be a good thing.

It is an unspeakable sin in the eyes of God. Nothing the Left can say changes that.

If it’s not a “skill issue” then it’s probably a spiritual one.

Nietzsche was right.

“When a person gives you advice, he sometimes says, ‘Well, now you must do it this way. Let’s consider the problem.’ And he talks about it and he may say, ‘Well, on the one hand, you see, but on the other hand.’ And in the end, he may say almost nothing. This is because advice is given to balance the mind, like you adjust a bicycle or a tightrope walker. If you find that the tightrope walker is leaning too far to the left, you shout, ‘Lean to the right!’ If he is leaning too far to the right, you shout, ‘Lean to the left!’ But the meaning of this advice is not that you should lean to the right all the time or to the left all the time but that you should keep moving from one to the other.”

— Alan Watts

It would likely be a more painful path, yes.

“American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader.”

— Robert Lewis Dabney

Being “weird” is only an insult if your end goal is conformity with the herd.

The best argument for being pro-Kamala is accelerationism.

We would likely see the end game of the fiat world order sooner under Kamala than Trump, who would only be temporarily delaying the inevitable.

Better to be “weird” than an NPC.

“When you do understand it, you will see that you don’t have to, and that it’s perfectly all right. Go right on ahead trying to make everything up and nothing down. Because it is, as it were, the wildest game of hide and seek that ever was. And this is the point of life. This is what there is to realize. That life is not a problem to be solved, but an experience to be had.”

— Alan Watts
