Happy New Year!

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s

words await another voice.  And to make an end is to make a beginning.”

A good article about the relevance of Schopenhauer’s thought in today’s world.

Gilad Atzmon explains how fanatical, religious, ultra-corrupt Jews become extrememly over-representative in politics, especially in English-speaking countries, where they strategize themselves to carry out their religious lunacy:

Thank Heaven for Martial Environmental Conservationists

I can’t imagine how much more devastated and destroyed Nature would be without all environmental conservationists who exist. They do help to slow down the destruction of the natural world, but sadly, I think it is only a slowing, rather than a stopping of the destruction because there are not enough people who care to preserve the natural world. There are far more people who simply don’t care about nature than there are those who are awake enough to see the reality of the consequences of human greed.

Unfortunately, there are not enough conservationists willing to do what is necessary: use force, the language of the rapists of the earth. I’m so happy that the Sea Shepherds exist! They just saved 800 endangered blue-fin tuna:

Despair … is the only cure for illusion. Without despair we cannot transfer our allegiance to reality — it’s a kind of mourning period for our fantasies. Some people do not survive this despair, but no major change within a person can occur without it.
