إقرأ كلامِي إذا ضَمَّ الثَرى جَسَدي
فإنّه لَكَ مِمَّن قالَهُ خَلَفُ

هي المشكلة الحيوانات تتكاثر والعقلاء كاعدين وساكتين فمدافهم شلون النسل البشري يستمر ويتحسن
يجيك الروحاني يترفع عن الجنس
العالم ماعنده وقت للجنس
الي شوية لحلح عقله يصير لا انجابي
وتاليها يجي المفجوع يخلف ١٠ ويشمرهم بالطريق يگدون

الجنس البشري يستمر لأن الحمدلله ما عدنا هواي عقلاء
قبل فترة تناقشت بموضوع مشابه هو أنّ الأفكار والفلسفات التي تنظر للحياة بشكل متشائم وتدعو للاإنجابية مثلًا هي dead ends من منظور تطوري. لأن اللاإنجابي ما رح يمرر جيناته للجيل الجاي، بينما اللي ندعوهم بالبسطاء والمتوهمين احنة معاشر العقلاء والمثقفين همة اللي يمررون جيناتهم ويستمر المجتمع بسببهم. بالنهاية، همة اللي يصنعون الثقافة همين، لأن أهم جزء من الثقافة culture والجزء اللي يخلي الها الأثر الأكبر بالنفوس وبالمجتمع هو ما يُتناقَل عبر الأجيال مو عبر الكتب والجرائد.
حتى البوذية، وهي فلسفة عدمية، تم تخفيفها حتى تناسب عامة الناس، بحيث صار يوجد الإعتقاد البوذي اللي يكول: بدل ما تحصل الإستنارة وتتخلص من دورة التناسخ بحياتك الحالية (وهالشي صعب كلش)، ممكن تحاول فقط "تحسّن" من روحك بحيث بالحياة الجاية تصير أقرب للإستنارة.

ما يَتبَعه هو أنّ هاي الأفكار هي أفكار مَرَضية pathological لا تُسمِن ولا تُغني من جوع وإنهزامية لأن الفرد المؤمن بيها يَجبن أمام الحياة وتحدياتها.
In contemporary American self-help literature, the magic word is healing. The term refers to self-optimization that is supposed to therapeutically eliminate any and all functional weakness or mental obstacle in the name of efficiency and performance. Yet perpetual self-optimization, which coincides point-for-point with the optimization of the system, is proving destructive. It is leading to mental collapse. Self-optimization, it turns out, amounts to total self-exploitation.

Man, the bravest animal and the one most inured to suffering, does not repudiate suffering in itself: he wills it, he even seeks it out, provided that he is shown a meaning for it, a purpose of suffering. Not suffering, but the senselessness of suffering was the curse which till then lay spread over humanity—and the ascetic ideal gave it a meaning! It was up till then the only meaning; but any meaning is better than no meaning.

— Friedrich Nietzsche, The Genealogy of Morals
That tension of the soul in unhappiness which cultivates its strength … its inventiveness and courage in enduring, persevering, interpreting, and exploiting suffering, and whatever has been granted to it of profundity, secret, mask, spirit, cunning, greatness – was it not granted through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering?

— Friedrich Nietzsche
As the entrepreneur of its own self, the neoliberal subject has no capacity for relationships with others that might be free of purpose. Nor do entrepreneurs know what purpose-free friendship would even look like. Originally, being free meant being among friends. ‘Freedom’ and ‘friendship’ have the same root in Indo-European languages. Fundamentally, freedom signifies a relationship. A real feeling of freedom occurs only in a fruitful relationship – when being with others brings happiness. But today’s neoliberal regime leads to utter isolation; as such, it does not really free us at all.
In our world, we no longer work in order to satisfy our own needs. Instead, we work for Capital. Capital generates needs of its own; mistakenly, we perceive these needs as if they belonged to us.

Initially, the internet was celebrated as a medium of boundless liberty. Microsoft’s early advertising slogan – ‘Where do you want to go today?’ – suggested unlimited freedom and mobility on the web. As it turned out, such euphoria was an illusion. Today, unbounded freedom and communication are switching over into total control and surveillance. More and more, social media resemble digital panoptica keeping watch over the social realm and exploiting it mercilessly. We had just freed ourselves from the disciplinary panopticon – then we threw ourselves into a new, and even more efficient, panopticon.
Today, we voluntarily expose ourselves without any external constraint at all – without an edict commanding us to do so. Of our own free will, we put any and all conceivable information about ourselves on the internet, without having the slightest idea who knows what, when or on what occasion. This lack of control represents a crisis of freedom to be taken seriously. Indeed, given the data that people make available willy-nilly, the very idea of protecting privacy (Datenschutz) is becoming obsolete.

We have more strength than will; and it is often merely for an excuse we say things are impossible.

نحن نَملِك القوةَ أكثَرَ مِنَ الإرادة؛ إذ غالبًا ما يكونُ عذرًا القَولُ بأنَّ شيئًا ما مُستَحِيل.
