Scrambled cities: If you're not gonna do the work(on your soul), then you might as well work til you die

 There are two tiers in normal life. Those who are survive and those who thrive.  But nothing is a mistake in life: Nothing comes by chance. You have to prepare for it.  If you thought life was about making money and beating out the Jones's, you've lost already.  Life is: Desire for connection. All unhealthy competition is isolating. We live in an isolated-enough world already. This connection comes from a surprising place: Self-acceptance. A lot of us need to go back to the classroom. A lot of us need to take a silent breather and check in with what we need. This takes serious work. It's the real work. It relies on respect for others and self-respect.  A lot of people in the self-help community try to push the self aside: Manning up is the only side of it they see. But there are certain non-negotiables in this life. Certain things we can't cheat ourselves out of. We are not a piece of meat being acted on.    However, this is where God comes in. Some o...

Nietsche and the World's Most Disgusting Kitchen


In this kitchen, every utensil seems burdened with the weight of resignation, as if each knife and fork were complicit in perpetuating a cycle of apathy and indifference. The once-gleaming pots and pans, now encrusted with the remnants of countless neglected meals, silently testify to the abandonment of culinary ambition and the erosion of creative spirit. What was once a space for nourishment and creativity has become a desolate landscape of decay, where the daily rituals of sustenance have transformed into joyless routines, devoid of passion or purpose.

Through the lens of those who appreciate Nietzsche, this kitchen might be seen as a haunting metaphor for the human condition itself. Here, amidst the chaos of dirty surfaces and decaying food, lies a stark reminder of the perilous ease with which individuals can slip into a state of passive acceptance—a state where the pursuit of excellence and the cultivation of individual will are sacrificed on the altar of convenience and indifference.

Jonathan Bi, in his insightful exploration of Nietzsche's philosophy, suggests that environments such as this kitchen reflect broader societal trends towards complacency and the numbing effects of routine. The stagnation within these walls serves as a potent critique of modernity's tendency towards mediocrity, urging us to confront the lethargy that permeates our own lives. What emerges is not just a tale of neglect, but a profound meditation on the consequences of surrendering to the mundane, where each dish left unwashed becomes a symbol of deferred aspirations and lost potential.

In this Nietzschean narrative, the kitchen stands not only as a testament to decay but also as a call to reclaim agency over our choices and destinies. It challenges us to break free from the shackles of indifference, to embrace discomfort as a catalyst for growth, and to rediscover the transformative power of resilience and authenticity in every aspect of our existence.
