Some thoughts I had on art of seduction & Chase's article on paranoid society

[GreekLetterMale]

Yesterday I read Chase's article on false rape accusations paranoia: https://www.girlschase.com/content/meet ... ng-society

Started meditating again as well yesterday night, I usually focus on my own body, but this time I did a different session, which guided with a philosophy of how everything is connected through matter. It made me think that the earth doesn't stop at the Ozon layer and that everything is subject to some kind of natural law in a sense. This was very powerful to me in combination with Chase's words, since he gave me some convincing - to me - arguments that the false rape accusation hysteria will fly over because it's only a temporary cultural force.

I was pretty concerned and anxious lately about two things that were weighing heavy on my mind; the whole false rape accusation hysteria and global warming (I don't have a good reason why I care about this, I just do), for instance I'd feel guilty for leaving my charger plugged in. It actually made me kind of depressed. After meditating however, I realized that it's not up to me to move all the force and matter of the whole galaxy to make everything right. I have my influence and force and I can choose to direct it in any way I wish, but I'm not God and it's not up to me to take on all the world's problems by myself. So anyway, I realised that doing what I could was enough. This is not a new thought or belief to me, I know this is the healthy and mature way to look at the world and I've felt this way before. I guess I was so plugged into the matrix lately that I fell back into old ways of being.

So I'm also following a philosophy course, and we were discussing Heidegger and the teacher said something interesting about Heidegger's philosophy concerning art. I forgot his exact words, sorry, but I googled "Heidegger on art" and I'll just cite a part of a Wikipedia page on one of his books about art:

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Origi ... ork_of_Art)

Next, Heidegger writes of art's ability to set up an active struggle between "Earth" and "World."[10] "World" represents meaning which is disclosed, not merely the sum of all that is ready-to-hand for one being but rather the web of significant relations in which Dasein, or human being(s), exist (a table, for example, as part of the web of signification, points to those who customarily sit at it, the conversations once had around it, the carpenter who made it, and so on - all of which point to further and further things). So a family unit could be a world, or a career path could be a world, or even a large community or nation. "Earth" means something like the background against which every meaningful "worlding" emerges. It is outside (unintelligible to) the ready-to-hand. Both are necessary components for an artwork to function, each serving unique purposes. The artwork is inherently an object of "world", as it creates a world of its own; it opens up for us other worlds and cultures, such as worlds from the past like the ancient Greek or medieval worlds, or different social worlds, like the world of the peasant, or of the aristocrat. However, the very nature of art itself appeals to "Earth", as a function of art is to highlight the natural materials used to create it, such as the colors of the paint, the density of the language, or the texture of the stone, as well as the fact that everywhere an implicit background is necessary for every significant explicit representation. In this way, "World" is revealing the unintelligibility of "Earth", and so admits its dependence on the natural "Earth". This reminds us that concealment (hiddenness) is the necessary precondition for unconcealment (aletheia), i.e. truth. The existence of truth is a product of this struggle—the process of art—taking place within the artwork.

A summary of what I remember my teacher saying was: "art happens in the space of tension between two worlds", for instance two moral dimensions or two belief systems, but this citation gives a more accurate representation of Heidegger's actual thoughts, still I think my summary is pretty cool too.

Anyway, I was just thinking that the art of seduction - at least Chase's method, I can't speak for other methods, I only really visit Girlschase and sometimes I watch YouTube pickup videos - is truly an art and actually an important one in this day and age. Every artform I think will seize to have a societal function at one point, namely when the two worlds are connected and it's purpose has been fulfilled, at which point it will continue to have a historical function. I don't know of any artforms I could compare it with, but I definitely see that the art of seduction tries to connect women and men, two forces that are more and more being separated. It's a social art which is new, just like the art of painting or the art of film was new at one point.

Yet I don't want to put a huge pressure on the art of seduction, like I said it's not up to this community to do any saving. I just know that it's a positive force and that everytime I meet a girl or give her some positive energy in any way, I'm making an effort to connect men and women even though we're living in a time of moral panic and witch hunts. And this goes for the whole seduction community

I have to honest though and also note that my baseline approach to women comes from a MGTWO-kind-of frame, in a sense that I'm still scared to have the system being leveraged against me by a woman and therefore I will usually be in auto-reject. I guess realizing all this though, I feel responsible, like a moral one, to at least make an effort to bring about positivity and drop the MGTOW attitude when it's not needed. Basically I'm practicing a new form of white knighting, I'm sorry guys. Just kidding I'm not that nice, but I hope you understand what I mean. Anyway, keep it up guys. We're fighting the good fight (but don't beat yourself up if you haven't been, that's okay too).
