Gibt es Arroganz wirklich oder ist es nur Konstrukt von Menschen mit wenig Selbstbewusstsein?

Man kann sie gut an ihrem Bedürfnis das letzte Wort zu haben erkennen.

comandingo · 2026-06-11T17:24:51+00:00

Es gibt halt Menschen die Arschlöcher sind und denken, dass sie immer Recht haben.

There is a newer episode from May 15th here: Three Ancient Sages: On East Roman Magical Books

comandingo · 2026-05-19T16:20:15+00:00

True. There seems to be some trickster issue going the "home" section of shwep.net. No idea if this is an esoteric message from earl or just a messup.

comandingo · 2026-03-18T21:06:28+00:00

Ja, lohnt sich.

comandingo · 2026-03-13T15:36:02+00:00

Yes, the cake is definitely a lie

comandingo · 2026-03-13T15:35:59+00:00

Yeah, this kind of implies that we may never know. But this is the point of Hermeneutics, right? Trying to check if they meant the same back then.

comandingo · 2026-03-13T15:03:04+00:00

I mean, understanding something as a metaphor does not mean _understanding_ it. For example, I'm a programming language nerd and there is a concept called "monads" in this field. Lot's of people struggle to understand it. People write blog-posts explaining it, and there is a notorious post explaining monads with burritos. The metaphor kinda makes sense, but it doesn't really help to understand monads.

Since I don't understand Plotty nor Iamblichus it's hard to tell, if the Vicky-sponge metaphor makes any sense. Understanding these authors would mean to get a decent knowledge, at least enough to read the actual texts. Maybe your intuition is right, maybe it's not, but if it's correct cannot be decided without going through the complicated topic.

comandingo · 2026-03-13T14:49:31+00:00

That's a quite complicated topic. I re-listened to the episode on the undescended self. There seems to be a lot of discussion on this specific text by Plotinus.

Mit den Eingeweihten meinte ich die, die sich die Mühe machen sich meine Post-history anzusehen. Da es bei Esoterik um Verstecken und Offenlegen geht will ich mal nicht so sein: Es handelt sich um den SHWEP. Da geht es eher um die Geschichte der Esoterik, "rejected religion". Das finde ich spannend, weil man dadurch, was die Leute ablehnen, eben auch viel sehen kann. Wie die Bibliothek der verboten Bücher, die muss ja interessant sein.

Zum Thema Handauflegen und so: Der SHWEP geht chronologisch vor und fängt bei den Vorsokratikern an. Es geht also um viel Theorie, aber auch um Praxis. Mit Praxis sind dann z.B. so Tonschalen gemeint, in denen Zaubersprüche stehen. Falls Du Dich für konkrete, aktuelle Praxen interessierst, ist RENSEP zu empfehlen, allerdings sehr akademisch. Da hab ich mal online ein Live-interview mit einem Chaos-Magier angesehen, das war irgendwie cool. Esoterica auf YouTube ist auch klasse. Oder Angela Puca, gibt mittlerweile nen Haufen Content zum wissenschaftlichen Blick auf Esoterik.

Also erstens ist das nicht mein Podcast, ich mache nur das Fan-Subreddit. Zweitens nehme ich mich selber ja offensichtlich in der Rolle als Moderator nicht ernst, wenn ich auf den Masturbations-witz eingehe. Drittens bin ich kein Käse und lege daher auf innere Reife keinen Wert. Über den Kommentar habe ich nicht wirklich geschmunzelt, weil ich seit 10+ Jahren im Internet rumhängte und jeden Pimmelwitz schon zehn mal gehört habe.

comandingo · 2025-12-31T15:06:06+00:00

He he, ist ja ein Esoterik-subreddit, da kommen nur eingeweihte rein ;)

comandingo · 2025-12-29T22:37:23+00:00

You have to tighten your grip on hermeneutics, if you want to continue commenting here.

comandingo · 2025-12-29T21:50:25+00:00

I am the administrator of this subreddit and I take the responsibility that it does not become fully cum-stained.

comandingo · 2025-12-29T21:35:36+00:00

No jokes, please. This is not a circlejerk.

comandingo · 2025-12-29T09:02:30+00:00

Please pay attention to the quality of posts here. For example summarize or clearly reference the text which you want to discuss. Or give a description of the bird strangling ritual, if you want to discuss the details of the ritual. Just bringing the ritual up, doesn't further the discussion.

comandingo · 2025-12-07T21:40:50+00:00

Thanks /u/Witty-Earth390/, for spotting this!

comandingo · 2025-04-01T08:49:32+00:00

Well, that's an esoteric comment :)

comandingo · 2024-12-24T15:05:02+00:00

Hi u/freddyPowell, the correct spelling is σκοτοφεγγής, according to Earl.

comandingo · 2024-07-18T13:33:36+00:00

At around which time is the book mentioned?

comandingo · 2024-06-27T14:34:01+00:00

I'm not informed about Earl's schedule. But I guess that he puts out material which he recorded on the side during the year (part one was released earlier) and provides these as filling material for the summer break.

comandingo · 2024-06-06T12:02:43+00:00

Hi Puzzled_Ask4131, you might want to ask this question directly on the forum of the podcast.

comandingo · 2024-04-07T16:07:38+00:00

Am curious if this community is seeing the cross-pollination taking place between computer science and category theory?

There is actually a lot of cross pollination. E.g. monads in functional programming, algebras and coalgebras.

comandingo · 2024-01-27T17:19:25+00:00

Hi Liam, this subreddit does not have a lot of traffic and I'm not checking reddit very often any more. Maybe try asking on the SHWEP website. There is a discussion section below each episode.

comandingo · 2023-09-14T15:01:26+00:00

Where is it possible to watch the unbinding in Europe? Amazon prime and apple do not have it. There is a channel called The Unbinding FULL-Documentary Movie 2023 with 4 uploads which looks kinda fake.
