Drug users are Modernists who despise Classicism

[Dante Alighieri]

Drug users are well known for their hatred of Classicism, some of the worst excesses of the 1960's can be laid directly at their feet. Drug users have an extremist hatred for anything classical, they want modern art to erase fine art, for modern theater to destroy the beauty of Sophocles or the tragedy of Euripides. Their hatred for anyone who dares to question their motives is unbelievable - The likes of the Tate Modern and other degenerate art forms is what drives them.

They despise the Roman Empire and everything that noble state form stood for, the birth of Stoicism, born in Greece, continued in Rome, stands against everything drug user modernists stand for, the most famous of words, uttered by one of the Seven Sages of Athens - "Nothing in Excess" is contrary to everything amoral modernism is.

Drug users detest fine art, fine culture and it's manifestations be them Greece or Rome, or individuals like Caesar Augustus and Dante Alighieri (a mighty classicist poet who despised modernism), I will fight against amoral drug users to my bitter end.

I forgot to add, drug users are also possibly the most anti-intellectual people you are likely to meet, people who idolize the likes of other anti-intellectuals such as music stars, for example, the adoration of John Lennon, which defies belief.

This right here is the most ignorant statement i have ever heard.

[Dante Alighieri]

YOU ARE FUCKING RETARDED

The wise are instructed by reason; ordinary minds by experience; the stupid, by necessity; and brutes by instinct.

This is not the right place for you to be.

What are you going to do? Many of your claims are valid - but there are also "drug users" that take them to relieve pain and suffering. Some people are able to use them to enhance creativity and gain insight and knowledge.

Are you going to throw your fight against such people as Carl Sagan, as well? There are pot users that aren't stupid. Some even have a love for Classicism. The artistically sophisticated people are few and far between, and your help in educating people would be more helpful than this rant - which I'm not so sure is 100% serious. :thumbsup:

The people who can take less harmful drugs in moderation are the ones who are letting their desires be ruled by some element of reason, making their decisions stoical, but I would argue Sagan's brilliance was in spite of his use of cannabis rather than because of it.

Also I notice you admire Nietszche, one of the biggest opponents of Stoicism, Nietszche's ideas that people should give in to their desires of lust, revenge and want are the ideas that make human beings no better than beasts.

Sorry, but why the hell are you here?

I love classicism, in its own respect, and I'm a drug user. Definition?
Stereotyping.
Say it with me...
Ster-e-o-typ-ing.
There was no need to come and interrupt our nice day with your dipshit-ness.

Yes, of course, but it didn't "hurt" him, or his mind.

Nietszche didn't live what he preached. I think that he created provocative challenges, with subtle clues, in his writings with the express purpose of riling people like yourself. I believe that he associated stocim with inflexibility, which can and does happen. Whatever he did, he put his whole self into it. He was creating ways of expressing ideas, and didn't expect his work to be taken down as "truth". I know that you'll have a problem with that - but he was convinced that truth changes. I still don't understand his theory of eternal recurrence, but I don't think he completely did either. He wanted to shake things up, hopefully for the better, and I canâ??t fault him for that.
