this is why i just adore silent physical touch. it’s the best way ive found to make myself comprehensible without abstraction and without suffocating on bad air.

i think some things are fun but speaking about them should be circumscribed regardless, like it gives the wrong impression and probably has a deleterious impact on how one conceives of things. bleh.

im thinking abt this for u rn, partly bc in one translation 'spice' is translated 'season', and i am keen to misinterpret the described phenomenon as particularly temporally shifting
Nietzsche, the Gay Science, Book 1, §13 On the doctrine of the feeling of power. - Benefiting and hurting others are ways of exercising one's power over them - that is all one wants in such cases! We hurt those to whom we need to make our power perceptible, for pain is a much more sensitive means to that end than pleasure: pain always asks for the cause, while pleasure is inclined to stop with itself and not look back. We benefit and show benevolence toward those who already depend on us in some way (that is, who are used to thinking of us as their causes); we want to increase their power because we thus increase our own, or we want to show them the advantage of being in our power - that way, they will be more satisfied with their situation and more hostile towards and willing to fight against the enemies of our power. Whether in benefiting or hurting others we make sacrifices does not affect the ultimate value of our actions; even if we stake our lives, as martyrs do for their church, it is a sacrifice made for our desire for power or for the preservation of our feeling of power. He who feels 'I am in possession of the truth' - how many possessions does he not renounce in order to save this feeling! What would he not throw overboard in order to stay 'on top' - that is, above the others who lack 'the truth'! The state in which we hurt others is certainly seldom as agreeable, in an unadulterated way, as that in which we benefit others; it is a sign that we are still lacking power, or it betrays a frustration in the face of this poverty; it brings new dangers and uncertainties to the power we do possess and clouds our horizon with the prospect of revenge, scorn, punishment, failure. Only to the most irritable and covetous adherents of the feeling of power - to those for whom the sight of those who are already subjected (the objects of benevolence) is a burden and boredom - might it be more pleasurable to imprint the seal of power on the reluctant. It depends on how o…

Compassion is the most agreeable feeling for those who have little pride and no prospect of great conquests; for them, easy prey - and that is what those who suffer are - is something enchanting. Compassion is praised as the virtue of the gay lady. - Nietzsche, The Gay Science, §13

Nietzsche, Ecce Homo, Why I Am So Clever, §3 Selectivity in nutriment; selectivity in climate and place; - the third thing in which one may at no cost commit a blunder is selectivity in one's kind of recreation. Here too the degree to which a spirit is sui generis makes ever narrower the bounds of what is permitted, that is to say useful to him. In my case all reading is among my recreations: consequently among those things which free me from myself, which allow me to saunter among strange sciences and souls - which I no longer take seriously. It is precisely reading which helps me to recover from my seriousness. At times when I am deeply sunk in work you will see no books around me: I would guard against letting anyone speak or even think in my vicinity. And that is what reading would mean ... Has it really been noticed that in that state of profound tension to which pregnancy condemns the spirit and fundamentally the entire organism, any chance event, any kind of stimulus from without has too vehement an effect, 'cuts' too deeply? One has to avoid the chance event, the stimulus from without, as much as possible; a kind of self-walling-up is among the instinctual sagacities of spiritual pregnancy. Shall I allow a strange thought to climb secretly over the wall? - And that is what reading would mean... The times of work and fruitfulness are followed by the time of recreation: come hither, you pleasant, you witty, you clever books!

Feare, and Liberty are consistent; as when a man throweth his goods into the Sea for feare the ship should sink, he doth it neverthelesse very willingly, and may refuse to doe it if he will: It is therefore the action, of one that was free: so a man sometimes pays his debt, only for feare of Imprisonment, which because no body hindred him from detaining, was the action of a man at liberty. And generally all actions which men doe in Common-wealths, for feare of the law, are actions, which the doers had liberty to omit. Hobbes, Leviathan, pg. 178 Also see: Quentin Skinner, Liberty before Liberalism, pg 6-9 Quentin Skinner, Thomas Hobbes on the Proper Signification of Liberty: The Prothero Lecture Quentin Skinner, A Genealogy of Liberty https://youtu.be/PjQ-W2-fKUs?t=809
