“Guerilla, Digest” is Born

I needed to define what “new aesthetic” means. Otherwise, this whole project would be hollow and not the accidental fight club agglomerate that it is.

"Where your boss at?"

"Where your boss at?"

Guerilla is the style of blogging has best fits such a study. I’ll cut it up and serve culture, art, and philosophy in smaller pieces as it makes sense.

Here’s the New Aesthetic

The issue, quoting Adbusters, is such:

We can’t explore the possibility of developing a new aesthetic until we answer the question of what, if anything, will be the unifying philosophy of our age. If, as Plambeck has suggested, we are destined to be a culture that measures success through a tally of Facebook friends and blog hits, then we have no impetus to collectively tap an undercurrent of meaning and truth. We will be content to live in a world of appearances, virtual successes and hollow forms.

No, no, none is letting that happen.

Yesterday, I posted this question. Beyonce asks: “Where your boss at?” and here are all posts about Nietzsche who is included in the photo. If you’re still feeling empty, the “weird kids” in my generation and our gathering force to mosh to the anthem of our own.

Weird Kids

The song in that video is by Santigold and she will kick you in the gut if you say her music is hip-hop or R&B. Rightly so, it isn’t at all – she’s not really like Britney Spears or Brandy either.

“God is Dead” – Say Wha?

Our visible moral qualities, and especially those that we believe to be visible, take their course; and the invisible ones, which have the same names but are neither ornaments nor weapons with regard to others, also take their course: probably a totally different one, with lines and subtleties and sculptures that might amuse a god with a divine microscope. For example, we have our diligence, our acuteness – all the world knows about them – and in addition, we probably also have our industry, our ambition, our acuteness; but for these reptile scales, no microscope has yet been invented! At this point the friends of instinctive morality will say: ‘Bravo! At least he considers unconscious virtues to be possible – and that’s enough for us.’ Oh, how little you are satisfied with!

The Gay Science, page 34.

Nietzsche pretended to know the world just like all philosophers do so they can think and know things other people don’t. This knowledge, when put into language, can only be understood as much as words have shared meaning. For Neitzsche, I think the trouble with language was that he could not manifest true friendship by speaking directly to what it means.
