Importance of Human Intellect

[Nurgle]

Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing. That was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of ‘world history’, but nevertheless, it was only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die. – One might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature. There were eternities during which it did not exist. And when it is all over with the human intellect, nothing will have happened.

-Friedrich Nietzsche, “On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense”, Philosophy and Truth: Selections from Nietzsche’s Notebooks of the Early 1870s

The importance of Human Intellect? Not important whatsoever.

intellect is fucking useless my dad could fuck up any of your dads

 

[Nurgle]

Existence is worthless, […] and nihilism is … the unavoidable corollary of the realist conviction that there is a mind-independent reality, which, despite the presumptions of human narcissism, is indifferent to our existence and oblivious to the ‘values’ and ‘meanings’ which we drape over it in order to make it more hospitable.

The disenchantment of the world deserves to be celebrated as an achievement of intellectual maturity, not bewailed as a debilitating impoverishment.

-Ray Brassier, Nihil Unbound

I prefer absurdism... the optimistic approach to nihilism.

meh, people may look at the glass half empty, but I think it's incredible that with the amount of time we've been given as species (in respect to the age of the universe, and even in the last 100 years) we've been able to learn, discover, and create unbelievable things.
