Romantisme Noir

Je commence un petit travail d'inventaire des œuvres connues et moins connues du romantisme noir dont il me semble que l'essentiel des œuvres se situent entre 1800 et 1920 et dont la puissante influence donnera naissance plus tard à la culture et l'esthétique dite #gothic.

Ça se passe ici : https://www.are.na/denis-salem/dark-romanticism

Vos contributions et suggestions en matière de films, de gravures, de peintures et de photographies sont les bienvenues !

How to Live a #Happy #Life, From a Leading #Atheist

Some people don’t want #magic tricks explained to them. I’m not that person. When I see a magic trick, I want to see how it’s done. People want free will or consciousness, life itself, to be real magic. What I want to show people is, look, the magic of life as evolved, the magic of brains as evolving in between our own ears, that’s thrilling! It’s affirming. You don’t need #miracles. You just need to understand the world the way it really is, and it’s unbelievably wonderful. We’re so lucky to be alive! The anxiety that people feel about giving up the traditional magical options, I take that very seriously. I can feel that anxiety. But the more I understood about the things I didn’t understand, the more the anxiety ebbed. The more the joy, the wondrousness came back. At the end of “Darwin’s Dangerous Idea,” I have my little hymn to life and the #universe. That’s my #God — more wonderful than anything I could imagine in detail, but not magical.

How to Live a Happy Life, From a Leading Atheist

​​“I want to show people, look, the magic of life as evolved, that’s thrilling!" says philosopher Daniel C. Dennett. “You don’t need miracles.”

Allejandra Casado- has excellent intuition- to use the #visualization of the #7 #rotations in the #tetra- to #create the #charge #collapse/ #implosion which #creates #self #organization.

That #sequence of #visualizations also #triggers #the #psychokinesis of the #origin of #sacred #alphabets- and the #physics #of #magic:

You Don’t Have to Choose Between Happiness and Being Informed!

Even relatively politically engaged people tend to believe society’s biggest problems are things like sexism or drag shows, and they generally support one of the two mainstream political factions who are both driving us toward destruction.

I still have to read the article, but nevertheless, the headline resonates with me.
... and some of the article as well

Instead, you begin to see that as confused and shitty as our civilization is, we’re still living in an amazingly #beautiful world, whose beauty is so much vaster and more ancient than all the #conceptual bullshit we’ve heaped upon the human experience. You start to find joy in real things. The thundering majesty of nature. That spark of authenticity in people’s eyes. The crackle of #magic at the train station. Something as simple as a piece of garbage catching the light just right can make you coo and giggle with delight like an infant.

I wonder how that article will end.
