Love that the radio host is pushing the theory that this connection to Jay-Z proves some special meaning, but then Thacker is like 'nope it's meaningless lol'
I can imagine being a bored designer throwing a philosophy reference on a sweatshirt – Truly Tragic T_T
Interesting that this connection needs to be a commentary on the now – somehow it is 'news' that nihilism has a history and does not merely describe our 'contemporary moment'
Disappointing that we don't get any analysis of nihilism's unique and important form in the cultures of oppressed peoples
Costume design as whispered conversation . . . beautiful

*Trans-valuation of values, NOT the re-valuation of values – common error in translations of Nietzsche
Very frustrating that Critchley would completely misrepresent amor fati (Nietzsche's response to nihilism) as merely amor . . . Nietzsche does not turn to romantic love when confronted with the most difficult thought of nihilism, but rather towards an impossible love of fate's immensity and inevitability which affirms pain, joy, weakness, strength, and the inevitable recurrence of all these things in the endless circle of time. Of course, all mortals share the same fate, and one does not find one's fate in love.
