نهاية الجريمة والعقاب...

I feel 10 years older...

"إنّ الوجودَ في حدّ ذاتِه لم يَكن كافيًا له في يومٍ مِن الأيام. إنّما هو كان يَطمَع دائمًا في أكثرِ مِن ذلك! ولعلَّ عنفَ رغباتِه كان وحدَه السببَ في أنّه ظَنَّ نفسَه إنسانًا يَجوزُ له ما لا يَجوزُ لغيرِه"

It was in the aftermath of God’s death that the great collective horrors of Communism and Fascism sprang forth (as both Dostoevsky and Nietzsche predicted they would). Nietzsche, for his part, posited that individual human beings would have to invent their own values in the aftermath of God’s death. But this is the element of his thinking that appears weakest, psychologically: we cannot invent our own values, because we cannot merely impose what we believe on our souls. This was Carl Jung’s great discovery—made in no little part because of his intense study of the problems posed by Nietzsche.

To psychologists, the mind is obviously a computer that evolved to process information. Well, that seems obvious now, but in 1970 the mind as a computer was just another metaphor. It was just slightly better than Sigmund Freud's metaphor of the mind as a hydraulic system of liquid libido, or John Locke's metaphor of the mind as a blank slate.

"Blank slate"

- John Locke (in Latin)

"Everyday life is dull, boring, and diluted.
Art, specially music, is the concentrated excitement of life in one piece of aesthetics"
