Heidegger

I had some time ago a discussion with Jud. I quoted Noam Chomsky’s saying
that “If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American
president would have been hanged.” Jud replied that he did admire some of
the American presidents.

Well, watching The Power of Nightmares, I did admire Kissinger (not a
president himself, but close enough). But, I have seen an eleven minutes
film by Ken Loach ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328802/ ). I realized that
Kissinger’s idea of improving world peace and prosperity was: beating people
till the fall unconscious, beating people till they fall dead, taking their
bowels out of their bodies, throwing them from helicopters, applying
electrical shocks to their genitalia, putting rats in women’s vagina,
putting women to be raped by dogs trained to rape women.

That’s why I believe that Noam Chomsky was right about that. Now, I consider
that the moral level of politics is far below the morality of a whore.
Whores do not do such things to other people. In comparison to politics,
whoredom is close to sainthood.

The only relevant prediction social sciences are capable of is this: past
behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. How could one image that
a humanity that lived in wars, genocides, bloodshed and general misbehavior
for the past three thousand years would do better in the next three thousand
years?

Zarathustra simply cannot outsmart the Devil, in order to steal (remove) the
world from his domination.

There is a story written by Diogenes Laertios that before incarnation, a
person got to choose the sort of life he will have on Earth. He has chosen
an insignificant life, that of a philosopher. This simple and modest life
was greatly appreciated by the gods, and greatly rewarded in the afterlife.
That’s why I consider myself happy to not be a part of politics.

Greetings,

Tudor Georgescu
