Quotes from David Sinclair

When Nietzsche said, "God is dead", he himself immediately replaced God with a new God, the Superman. Who would bother with Nietzsche's philosophy if he pronounced God dead and then hanged himself? Nietzsche immediately resurrected God, hence God was never dead. God is always ready to be re-expressed. It's not the concept of God that's wrong, it's the concept of the wrong God, wrongly defined and understood.
~ David Sinclair
Nietzsche talked about "good and bad" in the context of nobility. The nobles regarded the exceptional as good and the mediocre as bad. When the "good and bad" of the nobility was replaced by the "good and evil" of the mob, exceptionalism was declared evil, and mediocrity was sanctified. The holy mediocrities are now everywhere. The kingdom of mediocrity is absolute … absolute shit!
~ David Sinclair
Are you one of the dwellers in the wood? Neither by land nor by sea shall they find us. But, when the time comes, we shall find them.
~ David Sinclair
Maybe some people love the thrill of being possibly rumbled at any moment. Who knows? At any rate, the big day has finally arrived ... the sword has now fallen. Did it live up to what you imagined? Did you get the ecstasy you craved – some death and rebirth experience, perhaps? Well, now you have the chance to be reborn, as far from us as you can get.
~ David Sinclair
There must be something beyond your existence. Now people endlessly dwell on their own issues and identity. There is nothing beyond that, no higher cause, no greater calling. And that's exactly why they are so depressed, so disenchanted. What could be worse than being your own 'god'? You can be sure no one will ever worship you. What's to worship?
~ David Sinclair
The Woke will be receiving ecstatic applause as they order the Apocalypse to submit to Wokeness and to stop being so cruel and heartless. Will the Apocalypse be laughing in response?
~ David Sinclair
Are the fireworks over, or just beginning?
~ David Sinclair
There is only immanent (material) death. There is no such thing as transcendent (immaterial) death. Life – real life, transcendent life – is eternal. It's birth that leads to death, not life. Life, true life, was never born. It has always been, hence it can never die. Bodies are born, not minds. Bodies die, not minds.
~ David Sinclair
There's a simple reason why people don't get involved with reason, logic and mathematics. They find these extremely difficult. There's a simple reason why people get involved with faith, prayer, mysticism, meditation and mindfulness: they're easy! Anyone can do them.
~ David Sinclair
It's hard to get to know your unconscious because … it's unconscious. However, thanks to projection, we can externalize our unconscious, and that then gives us the chance to interact with it and come to an understanding of it, and finally allow us to withdraw our projections and integrate them into our consciousness. We make sense of our unconscious via its projections, via what it latches onto in the world around us.
~ David Sinclair
It's hard to get someone to love you, and for you to love them back. Do most people even get close to real love? And the thing about real love is that it is often the most painful thing of all. On the other hand, it's the easiest thing of all to hate others, or be hated by them. Hate comes so naturally! It's second nature.
~ David Sinclair
Always pursue glory. Shine like the stars. Burn up with ambition. Shed your old skin. Try, try, and try again. Fail, fail, and fail again. But fail better, and one day you will not fail at all.
~ David Sinclair
Superheroes are just Jesus Christ with a penchant for extreme violence (i.e., Jesus Christ perfected by the Second Amendment!). To enjoy a superhero movie, you already need to be ninety percent Christian in your basic worldview.
~ David Sinclair
You against the world … Bet on the World. The world is never going to change for you. Unless you are a world-historic figure. Well, are you?
~ David Sinclair
Imagine the life of the last human. Someone was the last Neanderthal. One day, Homo sapien's time will come too. Someone will be the last of our species. What a strange fate that is. They won't have anyone to tell their tale to
~ David Sinclair
America suffers from the Oedipus Complex. It wants to kill its father (England) and fuck its mother (Christianity, the Virgin Mary).
~ David Sinclair
How on earth Nietzsche, a supporter of Dionysus, went through a phase of vegetarianism is mind-boggling. Just as bad, Nietzsche was no fan of alcohol. No wonder Dionysus smote his sacrilegious ass and drove him insane, a common fate for all those that defy Dionysus.
~ David Sinclair
The Turing Test – the sort of thing that only a demented empiricist could devise – is one of the silliest tests ever to be taken seriously as a test. It's equivalent to saying, "If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck" – even though we know it's actually a machine-duck with no organic parts, which we have painstakingly programmed to exhibit duck behavior … to quack like a duck.
~ David Sinclair
Conspiracy theories encourage the masses to believe in lurid nonsense and to denounce intellectuals, who are supposedly all in on the conspiracy and hard at work to deceive and enslave the people. But mediocrities, so we are to believe, can see through all intellectual bullshit … they know experts are idiots. Here we have the Dunning-Kruger effect in full flow, shining like the dumbest star in the sky, the one that hovered above that grubby stable in Bethlehem.
~ David Sinclair
If an extra-terrestrial wiped out humanity bar eight survivors, would you expect the eight to swear vengeance against the monster? According to the Bible, the eight – Noah's family – actually worshiped the ET as God! Independence Day: Independence from God! When will humanity be free?
~ David Sinclair
What's the definition of pathetic: overhearing the conversation of two plastic beauties (absolutely consumed with their image) and encountering the vacuum that exists between the ears of these people.
~ David Sinclair
It's not about the Game of Thrones, it's about the game of universals versus particulars, thinking versus sensing. Which side are you on? Who shall wear the crown? – the Senser or the Thinker. Do you even need to think about that?
~ David Sinclair
Some people believe that explanations which do not involve matter are supernatural. In fact, material explanations are themselves supernatural. How can lifeless matter produce life? There's nothing natural about that. How can mindless matter produce mind? What's natural about that? How can temporal and contingent matter come into existence in the first place? You can't get existence from non-existence. That's logic 101.
~ David Sinclair
Mind can easily explain matter. Matter cannot explain mind at all. How do you get to mind from mindless matter? It's impossible. But mind can create "matter", or what passes as matter, routinely. It does it every time we dream.
