Daniel Görtz: ”If we are not ironic about our goal enough, then it will collapse to fascism”.

This quote is of course out of context, and to fully appreciate i’d check: ”sincere irony” in #metamodernism.

But I find the point still quite understandable. Is not gnawed-teeth unwillingness to change when presented with human consequences, a hallmark of #fascism?

There’s no #play or #doubt in that. #Seriousness without #irony is dangerous.

What is #seriousness?

Seriousness, is for instance, if you want sell the #MassMurder of #refugees, as necessity, even though you don't have a human argument for that. So it works better in a dress suit.

A quotation from Havel, Vaclav:

«««««
Those who have not lost the ability to recognize that which is laughable in themselves, or their own nothingness, are not arrogant, nor are they enemies of an Open Society. Its enemy is a person with a fiercely serious countenance and burning eyes.

Sunday Morning Meditation Moment:

When people try to meditate with the mind they go mental. Meditation is truly about cultivating and allowing a meditative state of being. Being from the spirit which resides within the soul.

When we were growing up and the "spiritual leaders of the day" said it was all mind/body/spirit they didn't know better and were talking out their bum holes.

When in truth it's Spirit/Mind/Body. The origins of directionality are crucial in being spiritually consciously. Mentally conscious people have created insanity in society.

nonostante abbia separato vari profili su vari server, per non violare il manifesto di nessuno, la pesantezza scende a pioggia.
Comunque meglio il latte alle ginocchia che la censura.

SERIOUSNESS: the first and fatal step towards dogmatism, as well as hypocrisy and pretense; common ideological sinkhole of petty bullshit.
