I've had writer's block. Now you get a 13,000 word essay on nihilism, Nietzsche, and Steven Pinker.https://samzdat.com/2018/03/07/everything-is-going-according-to-plan/ …
What you wrote seems really true, but I also want to be happy. Can you provide some good lies to help me survive your deconstructioning destruction of my belief in reality? J/k but also srsly.

@garybasin, Gaddis's The Recognitions talks about how the ancients had a secret that must be recovered, the ability to "sorrow without being sad." That's mostly it. But the trade is worth it. I doubt either love or art or meaning would exist w/out our tendency to lie. -
Admittedly, those are mostly figure out alone. In life, Nietzsche was a huge fan of the transcendentalists, especially Emerson. You see it there. Walt Whitman has always seemed like he's grasping at that to me. Trying to grasp at affirming a dying and momentary thing:pic.twitter.com/z2lSO6lDPN
