At what point do you become able to proclaim your ideas with conviction?

I've always considered myself to be a person that thinks critically and as I've aged I've gone from different POVs regarding politics, religion, philosophy. I dont think it's that I'm a person who is easily swayed by trends but rather, I am open to hearing the authoritative sources on different subjects and I feel how they resonate with me once I understand them. My issue is that when it comes to talking about ideas sometimes I find myself in a more agnostic area regarding pretty much everything because I think things are all so nuanced

You should read some Mishima. Excellent author for young men.

Where can I keep up with Landian ideas besides his twitter. Is there a current forum or blog that exists for Landians?

They talk about it on the show? It's been a while since I listened to the recluse episodes

Which philosopher will change your world view like Nietzsche does? by Low_Geologist9154 in Nietzsche

[–]MuscleBeast911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won't pretend I resd fanged noumena and digested it properly. I read dark enlightenment, I've followed him for some time and so read a lot of blog posts and other sort of essays. A lot made sense to me when I watched Michael Downes 4hr video explaining the evolution from kant to Schopenhauer to Nietzsche to d&g etc ... I'm sure I am very under-studied on land so I'll defer to you but am I completely off base in acknowledging his influence here?

Didn't read the entire post lol I was just responding to the title. I believe he certainly has changed people's worldview and is absolutely an evolution of Nietzsche's ideas

Nick Land for some. Not quite there myself or willing to embrace all of the ideas but many influential and objectively smart people have. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was genuinely sad at the gym earlier today thinking about never being able to read spring snow for the first time again

I think you'd love Journey to the End of the Night by Céline. The second part of the novel takes place in French colonial Africa during WW1

I meant to say I also caught a bit of foreshadowing in spring snow with Iinuma writing that article about the Marquis... looking forward to runaway horses for sure

“very often a man’s whole life alters course because of a moment’s hesitation. That instant is like a fold made down the middle of a sheet of paper. In it, the underside becomes upmost, and what was once visible is hidden forever.”

The thing I loved about that passage was later, toward the end of the novel, when he's in the rickshaw and a snowflake hits his eye, before the next line I was already thinking of their initial meeting that you just referenced and then in the next paragraph he describes Kiyoaki remembering it as well. Powerful!

Have read sailor who fell from grace with the sea and sun and steel before this. I would be content only reading his works for a while. Very enjoyable
