"If being a nihilist is carrying, to the unbearable limit of hegemonic systems, this radical trait of derision and of violence, this challenge that the system is summoned to answer through its own death, then I am a terrorist and nihilist in theory as the others are with their weapons. Theoretical violence, not truth, is the only resource left us."
Jean Baudrillard (Simulacra and Simulation)

"There are no black belt techniques, there are only basic techniques done at a black belt level."

 

[Corleoné]

 

[Corleoné]

“Don't worry, nobody has the
beautiful lady, not really, and
nobody has the strange and
hidden power, nobody is
exceptional or wonderful or
magic, they only seem to be
It's all a trick, an in, a con,
don't buy it, don't believe it.
The world is packed with
billions of people whose lives
and deaths are useless and
when one of these jumps up
and the light of history shines
upon them, forget it, it's not
what it seems, it's just
another act to fool the fools
again.

There are no strong men, there
are no beautiful women.
At least, you can die knowing
this
and you will have
the only possible
victory.”
