Ingegnere dell'invettiva, architetto dell'aggettivo. Per tornare al silenzio del Nulla, Cioran crea un immenso koan. Parla per tacere. Lo si legge con affetto e ammirazione, sommo creatore di paradossi, è un Oblomov che non ce l'ha fatta

Die Hoffnung ist mehr als das Leben.
Ist die Essenz des Lebens.
Deswegen ist es so schwer
absolut verzweifelt zu sein.
Die Hoffnung ist etwas mysteriöses.
Das ist das Geheimnis des Lebens.

"Fanaticism is the death of conversation."
Emil Cioran (1911-1995)
So for Trump the AI safety debate was never about being serious about the threat. It was about "fixing it" strong man style.
A discourse where the sole obsession is being right and discrediting- and even insulting- the other side.

Having destroyed all my connections, burned my bridges, I should feel a certain freedom, and in fact I do. One so intense I am afraid to rejoice in it.

Adoro quando o Cioran diz que infelizmente Borges sofre de um dos maiores males que podem afligir um escritor, tornar-se e apreciar isso.

Aşk - iki tükürüğün karşılaşması... Bütün duygular mutlaklarını salgı bezlerinin sefilliğinden alırlar. Asalet varoluşun yadsınmasındadır, harap olmuş manzaralara tepeden bakan tebessümdedir yalnızca.

Merci à la personne qui a mis CHILDREN UNDERGROUND (2001) d'Edet Belzberg. Un docu qui suit 5 enfants qui vivent dans le métro de Bucharest. Des gamin-es abandonné-es qui tentent de survivre malgré tout. Je précise que c'est extrêmement dur.
