No, we all live forever. Read Plotinus, when someone dies they simply give the divine in themselves back to the divine in us all. Ancient history will repeat itself exactly again and again, too; Aristotle says that given sufficient time/movement all things that were will be. There is no escaping history or the fact that we share souls with the ancients.



Aristotle didnt know shit about Entropy. There is no Eternal Return; the price we pay for this is Death

does borges miss the point of eternal return? the return is not (paraphrasing nietzsche) to a similar life or an identical life, it's a return to this life, this selfsame life that exists at this place within time. entropy and the scale of the universe are irrelevant and nietzsche specifically says he's not talking about the universe coming full circle. despite our belief in the flow of time, each moment and each perception is a permanent part of time and will exist "perpetually." it sucks that we use words like "permanent" and "eternal" to describe moments as time-objects but there you go. if someone could forward this to borges i'd appreciate

sorry bro but Time doesnt actually exist and is nothing more than a measurement of the relative change in the physical configuration of the universe, necessarily ratcheted by Entropy

Thus Spoke Zarathustra is probably the most boring piece of literary fiction. A homeless man/hermit comes down from a mountain and rants and raves to everyone he meets for 300 pages.

Nice aristotle metaphysics quote mate

Nineteenth and twentieth century people who go by the name of philosopher are pretty pitiful, I agree. But then, so are modern scientists who try to talk about ethics. Such a pile of fail. Political science is the supreme science, ancient greeks and chinese are at the top of the iintellectual food chain because they excelled in the area of morality and the proper ordering of society. Marx is just another rebrand of modern fail.
