A Dialogue on Surplus


Moraline: I feel a restless in the city. I have rested for long enough and must return to training and writing. The city imprisons me while far away, in some frozen north, I feel there is what I am looking for.
 
Maximin: But anything is better than the West. I just wonder if the bike has any place anymore. I now think it may be the backpack and the hiking boots to explore the wilderness.
 
Moraline: Got to go and get your wilderness skills up first with some small trips.
 
Maximin: Right, perhaps a base camp of some sort, then exploration in well organized efforts to gain the skills.
 
Moraline: I'm more unsure of myself and my next move than ever before. Acquisition of skills makes sense.
 
Maximin: Indeed, you have moved beyond boundaries. Perhaps the gods are now wondering your next move.
 
Moraline: I looked into learning Inupiat but there are less than 2500 speakers left now in Alaska, and the young Eskimos have no interest in it.
 
Maximin: You have travelled so far from the system that you are in an ether few men know.

Cock Size & Masturbation

The fun of talk is to explore, but much of it and all that is irresponsible should not be written. --Ernest Hemingway

1. A youth should be taught not to masturbate. He should be made to understand that such a habit can lead to a destructive loss of the juices essential to his masculine strength. The loss of these juices, when expelled habitually from his body through masturbation, will cause him to weaken, leaving him unenthused towards women, risk-taking, competition, and creation. His habitual masturbation leads to a withdrawal from the world. Indeed, accompanying each act of ejactulation is a bit of self-destruction.*

2. Equally important, the regular loss of his juices will affect the growth of both his musculature and genitalia. A youth may grow his cock and testicles in size by allowing the buildup of his juices and denying himself their release. It will lead to swelling and discomfort, but for a man to feel compelled to sex with women, to creation, and to competition, it is the buildup of his juices, often to dangerous and unsettling levels, that will force him to actively seek their release in the world. To masturbate regularly is to deny himself the worldly productivity, as well as genital growth, that these juices encourage.**

8. Men with larger cocks are more generally drawn to voluptuous women. The full breasts and ass on a woman are a mirror image of each other and the cleavage of the chest and the crack of the ass are especially exciting to the large-cocked man. They signal to him her sexuality, her commitment to femininity and her desire for him to dominate her physically. Her hips entrance him as well and to him her body is his opposite, prepared to receive all that he has to give, and she longs to be bent over for him, or to be beneath him, to be fully exposed to him, so that he can see and hold her breasts or ass in his hands and squeeze them as he thrusts into her.

9. The smaller cocked man, like the thin, narrow-hipped and tit-less woman, is more lacking in sexual desire. He lacks it because of a lowered level of testosterone, while the woman lacks it from sexual disinterest. Her desire to be thin is often a selfish desire and a woman’s selfishness always runs contrary to the sexual satisfaction of a man. The thin woman is selfish in bed and she is either a disinterested lover, or a wild one solely interested in her own pleasure. Contrast her with the voluptuous woman who's single interest is the giving of herself to the right man. It is she who understands how to love a man and looks to submit herself to him.

_______________________________________________

*It is the hormone prolactin that causes the decreased interest in women, competition and creativity in the world. The body releases prolactin following ejaculation to relax it and allow for the rebuilding of sperm levels. The frequent release of prolactin qualifies as a sort of male depressant leaving a man weak, empty and disinterested.

**Fortunately for me, it was at the end of my teen years that I first began to masturbate. The practice did not come naturally to me, and it was introduced to me on a theoretical level by the great writer, thinker and adventurer St. Maximin. By his own admission he was active then with his hands and had been for many years and he expounded upon the variety of excitement and experience that a man might discover by himself in the privacy of his own room or under the covers. Soon after this discussion I began the practice and discovered its pleasures and eventually began to incorporate various nudie magazines as a propaedeutic, as well as creams and balms. But because I had come to masturbation late, I was for many years able to benefit from the increased competition, risk-taking, desire, creativity, and genital growth that results from the unfulfilled urge to regularly release my juices.

Mothers


It is Western culture that endangers the man of destiny. Western culture comes to him as a beautiful woman, she is it’s vessel--for Western culture is a Western woman. His sexual desire allows her into his bed, to effect his work, and finally to undermine his project. She helps him to forget that for which he was destined and leads him to physical pleasure. It is only when his sexual desire for her has lessened that he remembers the project he has forsaken.

His one protection against this culture, and the women who transmit it, is a great mother that will shield him and nurture him according to his destiny. She is the only woman he will trust. She is the nurturer of greatness, the guardian of destiny. The mother must protect the son. His destiny calls out and requires her. It is that call that the great mother answers.

Shame: The Seed of 4130.2010

(All of Denver is talking about shame these days. It made me think about shame for part of the afternoon.)

Shame, as it is commonly felt, is outdated. Acting in disagreement with the morality of the group or the family or the woman are understood to bring upon him shame. Shame is his fear of losing the security of the others, access to the food and shelter and support of the group or the family, and sex with the woman. Shame is a physical response to keep him in line with the species, to best insure his survival.

But the moralities of man lag far behind his technological control and manipulation of his world. Food, shelter and security are in abundance in the West, and easily accessed. There is no reason to feel shame for breaking the rules of the group or the family, and even in the case of a wife or girlfriend trying to shame him, it is only a bad case of one-itis or beta-tude that enables such shame. Man is slow to understand the inefficacy of the moralities he has inherited. He is slow to understand that the time in which he lives is only vaguely moral. He can still be shamed for actions which do not threaten his survival.

Authentic shame is what a greater man knows and only he himself can know. Such a man has rejected the surrounding, lesser moralities of the group, family and women, and replaced them with a morality of his own. He has honestly assessed his skills and abilities and he knows what he is capable of and he knows when he has fallen short, not due to lack of effort, but as a result of neglect. For him what is shameful exists in not doing that which he was capable of and should have done. Others cannot understand the shame he feels for failing to act in accordance with his values. There is no one to punish him but himself, no one to whom he may apologize.

Note on Rigor, Style and Philosophy

Maximin has advanced the idea that there is something incomplete with the aphorisms and other writing here; that the proper level of rigor has not been shown and that maybe I am no longer doing or am interested in doing philosophy. Yes, there are many other aphorisms and writing that has not been posted--that perhaps clarify and connect to what is here--but I disagree that what is here is lacking in some way by their absence.

If by rigor we mean thorough, far-reaching explanation, then the aphoristic style itself is unrigorous. The rigor of the aphorism emerges from the reader--he must provide it. The writer of the aphorism can only hope to stimulate that rigor and to direct it through his presentation. If the aphorism resonates with the reader he will say: Yes, that is how it is. You have described it clearly. That is the best it can do. This resonance is rigor and it does not take the form of lengthy explanation. The rigor is what is present through absence--in the blank space surrounding the aphorism. (Ludwig and Fred are both misunderstood for this reason: their styles demand so much of the reader as to leave themselves open to the charge of not being philosophical.)

Because it gets back to this: the thought is an act. The aphorism is the closest in form to the thought itself. There is no system. The thought appears. It dangles on its own as an aphorism alongside other aphorisms. The reader may see a connection, or he may not. There may even be no connection apparent to the writer of the aphorism. Thoughts have this murky quality.

They are enigmatic as in a dream: we are troubled because we do not see how the thought fits in with the others. Yet it came to us and it did not come to any other. We feel we should know and understand because it is ours. And this desire to know and understand is when a thought gets mangled and the force of the act of its appearance is destroyed.

Through explanation we impose upon thoughts a form that disagrees with their content. We end up explaining them away with other words in an effort to be rigorous. The aphorism, however, best maintains the original form of the thought and the force with which it appeared. When expressed in its purity it does not require adding to. The thought as act stands alone.

My goal is to prepare myself through training to receive thoughts, good ones, and to arrange them in the way that best reveals their connection. The aphorism is the form.

And what of the training, Moraline? The training is physical. I must be a man of activity, with a strong body, and active as much as possible. The thoughts born of a frail and weak body caused by too much sitting are forced thoughts. The man who sits tries to think. He gets himself into quagmires of language too easily. Because he does not use his body he uses words, and he uses too many of them.

Philosophy should aspire to less words, not more. It should aspire finally to silence. The problems have gone. The problems have disappeared in the activity of life.

What appears as a philosophical problem can be made to disappear with a change of perspective. Ludwig has spoken of this and wrote a whole book full of such changes in perspective as they applied to specific language problems. But while he writes of a perspective change using language, why not a perspective change by changing the form of life itself? By acting in a new way? There were certain ideas I was once puzzled or troubled by, but by riding a bicycle in foreign lands these troubling ideas no longer make their appearance. (“Only riding alone can take it out of me.”)

People remain philosophically troubled because they lack the courage to change their form of life.

The short stories and poems and photographs are important too. It all can connect if you look at it long enough. It will resonate with you, or it will not. Your form of life may be incompatible with what I have created--these aphorisms and short stories and poems may not make any sense to you.

But maybe I’m just making excuses. Maybe I have no rigor and hide behind bad, incomplete writing, making some bizarre demand on the reader that he supply the rigor. That could be true. Maybe these thoughts really are incomplete. I don’t know. But that doesn’t matter because these thoughts are not finally for others. These aphorisms and writings are notes for myself as I attempt to change my behavior and act differently in the world. All of my writing is evidence of new paths being tried, sometimes hacking away slowly through the brush, and at other times going back to some way I had abandoned.

I am more concerned with the quality of my action than the quality of my writing.

Saint-Maximin

Saint-Maximin after head-on collision with a cager. His Bike Friday fork was bent in half, though the bicycle was otherwise undamaged. With his high-powered attorney Saint-Maximin plans to take everything the illegal immigrant owns.

Update: The illegal has disappeared, probably to Guatemala. Saint-Maximin and his high-powered attorney are now looking to file suit against insurance companies.
