Stephen Nadler's A Book Forged in Hell

I just give priority to the poetic [private] mind over the intellectual or discursive [public] mind. — Janus

It is possible that the number of minds is finite and it is possible that every mind is mortal. It is possible that every mind except one dies. Therefore it is possible that only one mind exists. — Michael

Nothing about this scenario is incoherent, therefore the solipsist’s claim that only one mind exists is coherent.

The coherency of the conclusion doesn’t depend on any of the premises being (or having been) true.

I never understood duality. Sorry Heraclitus. — Agent Smith

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose a washing machine, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing gameshows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin? — Renton, Trainspotting

I tend to view death as preferable to life
— Darkneos

...perhaps [because] you are doing it wrong? — Banno

A poet looks at the world as a man looks as a woman. It's not everyday that the world arranges itself into a poem. — Wallace Stevens

One finger cannot point at itself. — creativesoul

I'm only surprised that there are encyclopedia entries on mnemonics but not on "lemonics". — Agent Smith

If all there is, is self, then there is no other, and hence no self — Banno

This assumes he doesn't talk to himself. — Tate

[ ... ] If they are not need to be proven... their premises are universal affirmative? (According to Aristotle's syllogisms) — javi2541997

If the mind is divisible, show me the pieces its divided into! — Agent Smith

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower 
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand 
And Eternity in an hour — Auguries of Innocence (1803)

Wouldn't it be mind-blowingly awesome if we could, contra the mainstream view, fashion lemonics, methods of forgetting (instead of remembering). — Agent Smith

I'll go with Wittgenstein's hinges and Searle's institutional facts. — Banno

What should I live for or how should I live? — rossii

Thinking is essentially public. — Pie

Do you reject the notion of the philosophical zombie? — Michael

A private language can exist; however the private linguist, him/herself, may not understand it. — Agent Smith

Wittgenstein opined but, as per credible sources, never argued! — Agent Smith

I'm of the opinion that magick should be taught in public schools. — Bret Bernhoft

Nothing about the spark of life is reflected in atheism. — neonspectraltoast
