(Philoso)Thoughts

  • 710.

    I am a worldbreaker. The world (the social theatre) must first be broken to make it better, to make us aware of what it is

  • 709.

    There is no other home than the social theatre. If I don’t feel at home there, where can I go?

  • 708.

    If you start your theory and reasoning in the social theatre then that is super fun and cute but with that you will never go beyond the social theatre

  • 707.

    Only in the social theatre does contradiction mean something

  • 706.

    One big metaphor

  • 705.

    What is the line between water droplets and rain?

  • 704.

    ‘No eyes’ is more than ‘I don’t care what (I think) they think about me’ – it’s ‘they don’t think about me’. Realizing less is about you. Be less egocentric, in the societal sense

  • 703.

    Can we find genuineness in the social theatre? Art is not in the social theatre, it is merely the guide to something outside it

  • 702.

    Living in the negation of life

  • 701.

    Put out what you love and see if the world (the social theatre) loves it too

  • 700.

    Definitions are creations, not realities

  • 699.

    We will never understand any animal; and ourselves never beyond our own definitions

  • 698.

    [There are] things that stimulate the flow and things that take up its space

  • 697.

    We are the laughable yet beautiful creature

  • 696.

    ‘These are not my last words. Because all the words I have written; all the words I have lived, echo on the wind and always reach your ears again’

  • 695.

    It is not in reading poetry that something changes, but in living it

  • 694.

    I am so in my head, that I don’t notice the things outside it

  • 693.

    We can never say anything about cold, only about our perception of cold

  • 692.

    When your mind flows, do not consume; it will block the flow.

  • 691.

    I have said more things in my mind than in reality

  • 690.

    This generation will perish and the revolution will unfold because of this, just as history has always worked. A rebelling against and the rising up of

  • 689.

    In sight of love, lovelessness becomes clear

  • 688.

    What languages can we make, what is our limit in this?

  • 687.

    What is left if you don’t want to be part of the social theatre? If you don’t fit in it?

  • 686.

    It is not surprising that you don’t understand metaphysics if you only philosophize in a group

  • 685.

    How naive you are if you think that you are not naive

  • 684.

    How absurd is it to have a ‘best day of my life’.

  • 683.

    Also ‘spectrum’ assumes two points between which there are possibilities. Once again this is merely the social theatre

  • 682.

    Philosophers misunderstand each other because sometimes they use words of the social theatre [in stead of] words of the human layer

  • 681.

    There is this world and inside that world there is a species of beings; humans. And humans can only see this world in a human way. We don’t know if that is any different than the real world but I would say absolutely. And so that is the human layer. And these beings function in a special way, they live together and in order to do that they have made structures and systems. This is the social theatre: the structures of our being-together

  • 680.

    You can’t go searching for philosophy, that’s not how it works; you need to experience it, it needs to happen to you

  • 679.

    After all that thinking you still return to life as an inevitable lie, because we have to live in the social theatre

  • 678.

    Slave of the social theatre

  • 677.

    I can never think ideas that are fully without Levi. It’s not like I ever disappear

  • 676.

    We can’t live in the human layer but we can think it

    [We must function and we can only do that in the social theatre]

  • 675.

    The beginning of philosophy and the end come to the same thing: nothing. Socrates already said it when he said that we know nothing. And in the end we always come to that again.

  • 674.

    You only understand it when you understand that you understand nothing

  • 673.

    At many times, I try or want to be no’on, but since I am always in the social theatre, I am always Levi

  • 672.

    Only in the social theatre am I someone

  • 671.

    In observing the world, I am no’on

  • 670.

    Levi is my name in the social theatre. In the human layer I am no one. No’on.

  • 669.

    How can I be no one and myself at the same time

  • 668.

    Forget my existence, it is not significant for ideas

  • 667.

    Only in disappearance of humanity does truth emerge

  • 666.

    For my ideas to appear, I must disappear

  • 665.

    It is by these eyes that I start and it is these eyes that end me. I have no beginning at all

  • 664.

    [We are] the animal capable of ‘understanding’ but incapable of understanding the limitations of their own understanding

  • 663.

    I feel myself slipping out of this theatre, into what they call ‘madness’. Even this they will see as madness. But I see that it is beautiful.

  • 662.

    If it begins again and again, is it still a beginning?

  • 661.

    Changing the social theatre to be closer to how the world is

  • 660.

    Using human sense, human logic to understand something that is not human

  • 659.

    [We are] just another animal at the mercy of the world

  • 658.

    The absurdity of trying to understand a world that is not human, in a human way

  • 657.

    The collapsing of everything

  • 656.

    It is fine if they (some philosophers) play around and think in the social theatre, as long as they don’t claim that their utterances go beyond that

  • 655.

    It is our limitation that we do not fully understand our limitations

  • 654.

    In life, ‘meaning’ has no meaning

  • 653.

    ‘Real’ philosophy is without argumentation

  • 652.

    In cruelty bound to the social theatre

  • 651.

    It is tiring to not know

  • 650.

    A question that is not asked

  • 649.

    Words for which there exists no image. Like ‘Being’

  • 648.

    Which ‘is’ do we use? The one in the social theatre (‘this is better than this’) or the one of the human layer? When we say ‘is’ in the social theatre, we actually say ‘we as society have decided that’

    [See 227, 228 and 681 for the distinction between the social theatre and the human layer]

  • 647.

    [We are] defined by miscommunication

  • 646.

    Everything can be criticized, because nothing is grounded on something

  • 645.

    Funny how we can in a theoretical way busy ourselves at a university with a philosopher who says that we should not approach philosophy in a theoretical way

  • 644.

    We’re forced into a place where we can’t truly function

  • 643.

    Every talking is still a sort of show, a sort of game

  • 642.

    Everyone under their own rock

  • 641.

    Distance from the social theatre is not possible, it is not ‘vorhanden’. Understanding the social theatre while being part of it

  • 640.

    Being aware of the limitations of our awareness does not lift them

  • 639.

    As we fall through the system, we have merely the ability to comment on it, not to stop falling. As I break my back on the pins of the flipperboard, I say ‘I see pins’ but break my back all the same. Even though breaking our backs might not be necessary

  • 638.

    Those who revolt now will object to the next revolution. How ironic.

  • 637.

    The social theatre is malleable

  • 636.

    To be aware that hierarchy is just a prop in the social theatre, but not something real

  • 635.

    You think I am crazy because you do not recognize wisdom

  • 634.

    We pretend children can’t love

    [‘They are young, they do not know what they want.’ Get your grubby words off these people and let them be without your dominance!]

  • 633.

    Goodbyes always seem less genuine

  • 632.

    Whatever love may be, it escapes all our words

  • 631.

    The ‘real’ world is the un-understood world

  • 630.

    Explaining life is always limiting. Religion as a limiting explanation

  • 629.

    I think marriage can be beautiful all I’m saying is that love is more than that. And that it is absurdly cruel to expect someone to love a certain way. That is the most insane thing I have encountered in this life so far

  • 628.

    And I also don’t know what love is, all I think is that it is so much more than the words or structures that we have for it

  • 627.

    ‘Knowing’ is something we only do in the social theatre, outside of that knowledge has no meaning

  • 626.

    Science is the interaction between humans and the world. Without humans there is no science. So science says nothing about the world on itself, it says something about the interaction between humans and the world.

  • 625.

    Expanding the social theatre, so that more is allowed and possible in it

  • 624.

    Being forced to be genuine is actually possible

  • 623.

    There is a difference between not picking up on social cues and consciously rebelling against them

  • 622.

    There seems so much less joy, less meaning in the trivial things of the social theatre

  • 621.

    Genuineness seems to disappear when we enter the social theatre

  • 620.

    The irony of a philosophy that divides itself (that creates a contradiction only in the social theatre)

  • 619.

    How unwise are these wise people with arrogance

  • 618.

    Analytical philosophy is in the social theatre

    [And never thinks outside it]

  • 617.

    The philosophy religion

  • 616.

    The day starts: forced upon people once again

  • 615.

    I’m naive right now. We are always relatively naive

  • 614.

    We don’t have the freedom not to be human; not to be part of the social theatre; not to love

  • 613.

    It is the paradox between wanting [the things that I share] to be fully genuine and also wanting them to be presentable and therefore doomed to be under the watch of eyes

  • 612.

    Humanity-love is a love without hierarchy

  • 611.

    A ‘real’ goodbye is really hard.

  • 610.

    The struggle between genuineness and changing things to make art more beautiful
