"The fools build the world and the wise destroy it"

[@Tom_Shepperd143]

There seems to be a dark wisdom and a light wisdom. Dark wisdom is concerned with how to survive amongst chaos and light wisdom is concerned with escaping it through gnosis.

I listened to the interview these were taken from. Magnificent to see Cioran investigated properly. Specially relieved to hear the reasonable point that he wasn't (truly) a pessimist but a (I'd suggest) realist; a disillusioned with (the always prevalent) delusions. Never read much from him I'd disagree with. I do disagree, very much, however, with the traditional reading of (as in about) him. Here we see some quintessential passages that salient a possible surrealist. It is my belief that surrealism is the only possible realism (and all else is - mostly poorly - disguised madness). My own take on a true pessimist is that none could ever be spoken to unless one is in a straight jacket; for a legitimate pessimist would immediately commit suicide and leave no note. A suicide to vanquish pain would still be an act from a deep optimism.

Need more of his quotes.

On his way to jump into the Seine, the poet Paul Celan ran into Cioran. The encounter failed to cheer him up. Regarding suicide Cioran said "It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late." It's doubtful that would have changed Celan's mind.

can't find Emile Cioran's "The Evil Demiurge" on Amazon 🤷🏽

[@daousdava]

try "the new gods", that's its title in the English Translation (in the book itself, "the evil demiurge" is the first essay, "the new gods" is the second)

[@Bronte-on6tm]

@@daousdava Found it. Many thanks!

Hi Miguel, what about an interview with Leonard Jacobson... and his play "Liberating Jesus" written from revelatory downloads...?

[@AeonByteGnosticRadio]

Never heard of him, but I'll check it out.

So we should never speak about ideas because they are not yours? Hasn't this guy ever heard of "good artist copy, great artists steel"? Wtf kind of blasphemous bs is this.

[@Bronte-on6tm]

"We should only speak about our sensations and our visions, never about ideas because they are never truly ours." I love this quote. Cioran is telling us to express that which is authentically ours. And truly, visions are far more important than ideas... ask any artist.
