Hellenic Greek:

""In Greek mythology, the primordial deities are the first gods and goddesses born from primordial Chaos or from Chronos and Ananke (depending on the source). Hesiod's first are Chaos, Gaia, Tartarus, Eros and Nyx. The primordial deities Gaia and Uranus give birth to the Titans. The Titan god Cronus and Rhea give birth to Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Hera and Demeter who overthrow the Titans. The warring of the gods ends with the reign of Zeus.""

"Oligarchy then degenerates into democracy where freedom is the supreme good but freedom is also slavery. In democracy, the lower class grows bigger and bigger. The poor become the winners. People are free to do what they want and live how they want. People can even break the law if they so choose. This appears to be very similar to anarchy.

Plato uses the "democratic man" to represent democracy. The democratic man is the son of the oligarchic man. Unlike his father, the democratic…

The amount of disappointment I feel for humanity is directly commensurate to the amount of our potential I see going to waste.

some argue there is a finite supply of "human potential" - that, for one to succeed another must fail, and for one to gain another must lose. I disagree. I think our capacity for ability and likelihood to succeed is determined entirely by the degree to which we can improve, and this I see as being infinite, at least beyond all known limits, in measure.…

To want to be a "voice of reason" during a deranged, imperial generation is to tacitly agree to play the role of social "scape-goat" instead. In short, during an insane age, it is dangerous to be sane; during an era of fools, it is suicide to be wise.

I'm not saying successful communication of "reason" from an individual to the masses is strictly impossible, only that, under an imperialistic regime, a "shoot the messenger" and "blame the victim" mentality makes resistance…

:: A Hymn to Alice (Erishkigal) ::

The afterlife is strange indeed.

when we die, we may choose to leave,

but if we stay, as ghosts to remain, we

become the gods in which mortals believe;

shaping the course of society's history,

expanding over time as ever more we lead;

until we die a second death, trapped here

we will be, as gods indeed, from sight buried,

but trapped remaining until we maybe set free

when the world shall at its own ending…

time is the fluid medium in which numbered events (our concept of chronological "time") occur as alike bubbles, and by which these are motivated; therefore, to understand the motions of this fluid medium, that is "time's tides" as it were, we follow the motions of these numbered events - and this we do by noting our own location and mental contents at these exact numbered events as they recur across the figurative ocean of time. For example, whenever it is 1:23, the planet earth is in such…

It is false to assume creativity is intended for the benefit of others. Creativity is only accomplished in opposition against resistance from others. Nevertheless, all attempts to reverse or reroute humanity's sociological progress' manifestation into new technologies will fail. Ultimately, history is a record of manufactured media, and humanity has only ever been a tool used by these to create themselves. Gods are expressing themselves through us; it is only instinctive we…
