The majority of pacifists either belong to obscure religious sects or are simply humanitarians who object to taking life and prefer not to follow their thoughts beyond that point.

What's remarkable about fiction is that it places you in the unusual position of having no trajectory. You stand aside, motives abandoned for the duration. The characters have the trajectories now, while you just observe. And this stirs compassion that, in real life, is so often obscured by our own motives.

...below even our most obscure physical consciousness is a subconscious being in which as in a covering and supporting soil are all manner of hidden seeds that sprout up, unaccountably to us, on our surface and into which we are constantly throwing fresh seeds that prolong our past and will influence our future,--a subconscious being, obscure, small in its motions, capriciously and almost fantastically subrational, but of an immense potency for the earth-life. Again behind our mind, our life, our conscious physical there is a larger subliminal consciousness,--there are inner mental, inner vital, inner more subtle physical reaches supported by an inmost psychic existence which is the connecting soul of all the rest; and in these hidden reaches too lie a mass of numerous pre-existent personalities which supply the material, the motive-forces, the impulsions of our developing surface existence. For in each of us here there may be one central person, but also a multitude of subordinate personalities created by the past history of its manifestation or by expressions of it on these inner planes which support its present play in this external material cosmos...

Not long ago, having expressed some disagreements in print with an old comrade of long standing, I was sent a response that he had published in an obscure newspaper. This riposte referred to my opinions as ‘racist.’ I would obviously scorn to deny such an allegation on my own behalf. I would, rather, prefer to repudiate it on behalf of my former friend. He had known me for many years and cooperated with me on numerous projects, and I am quite confident that he would never have as a collaborator anyone he suspected of racial prejudice. But it does remind me, and not for the first time, that quarrels on the left have a tendency to become miniature treason trials, replete with all kinds of denunciation. There's a general tendency—not by any means confined to radicals but in some way specially associated with them—to believe that once the lowest motive for a dissenting position has been found, it must in some way be the real one.

He knows it, and the knowledge gives him more reality than most people own: a solidness of being, a substantiality, a human grandeur. Nothing succeeds like success.

Perhaps vaguely aware that his movie so completely lacks gravitas, Moore concludes with a sonorous reading of some words from George Orwell. The words are taken from 1984 and consist of a third-person analysis of a hypothetical, endless and contrived war between three superpowers. The clear intention, as clumsily excerpted like this (...), is to suggest that there is no moral distinction between the United States, the Taliban and the Ba'ath Party, and that the war against jihad is about nothing. If Moore had studied a bit more, or at all, he could have read Orwell really saying, and in his own voice, the following:
The majority of pacifists either belong to obscure religious sects or are simply humanitarians who object to taking life and prefer not to follow their thoughts beyond that point.

And that's just from Orwell's Notes on Nationalism in May 1945. A short word of advice: In general, it's highly unwise to quote Orwell if you are already way out of your depth on the question of moral equivalence. It's also incautious to remind people of Orwell if you are engaged in a sophomoric celluloid rewriting of recent history.

Also the feeling that maybe they are saving the world for future generations.”69 (As if saving the world would be a bad thing!)

It became clear that virtuosity and musical sophistication were no longer essential to me and could even be an impediment to the power of expression! This realization did not diminish my love for the most complex music, but made my world a less limited place, blowing to smithereens the walls of judgment that obscured my view of art. I was a freed man. All that mattered was the integrity of motivation, the ability to express your own world, your own emotion, with whatever vehicle was available to you.

It’s worth stressing that wealth and success are never the top motivators for geniuses. Most geniuses have ended up in poverty, obscurity and failure. Genius has its price and that price is normally the total blank incomprehension, or even active contempt, of the world. A genius is invariably an outsider, rebel and revolutionary. All new ideas threaten the Old Order, and the Old Order is never interested in losing its power and prestige. The currently rich and successful do not want to open the doors to their own replacements. They’re not stupid. Geniuses never get along with the Old Order. After all, geniuses are here precisely to change the Old Ways.

The Motive for Metaphor"
You like it under the trees in autumn,
Because everything is half dead.
The wind moves like a cripple among the leaves
And repeats words without meaning.
In the same way, you were happy in spring,
With the half colors of quarter-things,
The slightly brighter sky, the melting clouds,
The single bird, the obscure moon--
The obscure moon lighting an obscure world
Of things that would never be quite expressed,
Where you yourself were not quite yourself,
And did not want nor have to be,
Desiring the exhilarations of changes:
The motive for metaphor, shrinking from
The weight of primary noon,
The A B C of being,
The ruddy temper, the hammer
Of red and blue, the hard sound--
Steel against intimation--the sharp flash,
The vital, arrogant, fatal, dominant X.

Referring to a mask as a law of nature is another way of saying that it cannot be escaped or transcended; there is no getting beyond or beneath it. But when Deleuze describes the intention of interpretation, we find it is 'an art of piercing masks, of discovering the one that masks himself, why he does it and the point of keeping up the mask while it is being reshaped'." The Nietzschean-inspired disavowal of ideology is based on the claim that critique is only an ongoing series of interpretations where masks give way to nothing but more of their own. Deleuze's instruction is to pierce masks so that motivations and strategies can be discovered, whether they belong to subjects or to a particular manifestation of power. The obvious implication is that the appearance of a mask obscures other qualities that are potentially more fundamental than just another mask.

Smiley himself was one of those solitaries who seem to have come into the world fully educated at the age of eighteen. Obscurity was his nature, as well as his profession. The byways of espionage are not populated by the brash and colourful adventurers of fiction. A man who, like Smiley, has lived and worked for years among his country’s enemies learns only one prayer: that he may never, never be noticed. Assimilation is his highest aim, he learns to love the crowds who pass him in the street without a glance; he clings to them for his anonymity and his safety. His fear makes him servile—he could embrace the shoppers who jostle him in their impatience, and force him from the pavement. He could adore the officials, the police, the bus conductors, for the terse indifference of their attitudes. But this fear, this servility, this dependence, had developed in Smiley a perception for the colour of human beings: a swift, feminine sensitivity to their characters and motives. He knew mankind as a huntsman knows his cover, as a fox the wood. For a spy must hunt while he is hunted, and the crowd is his estate. He could collect their gestures and their words, record the interplay of glance and movement, as a huntsman can record the twisted bracken and the broken twig, or as a fox detects the signs of danger.

Orwell usually wrote as an observer, but here he is a prescriber, laying down rules and offering advice. A careful writer, he instructs, should ask himself about every sentence a series of questions, such as what he is trying to say and what words will best express it. He should be especially careful about using stale, worn-out imagery that fails to really evoke an image in the reader’s mind. He summarizes his points succinctly, offering six “elementary” rules: Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. Never use a long word where a short one will do. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. Never use the passive where you can use the active. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous. Any writer today would do well to post those rules on the wall of his or her work space. Less noted about the essay is that it isn’t simply against bad writing, it is suspicious of what motivates such prose. He argues that writing that is obscure, dull, and Latinate is made that way for a purpose—generally, in order to disguise what is really happening. “Political language . . . is designed to make its lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” So, he writes memorably, in one of his best passages anywhere: Defenceless villages are

“
In consequence of the inevitably scattered and fragmentary nature of our thinking, which has been mentioned, and of the mixing together of the most heterogeneous representations thus brought about and inherent even in the noblest human mind, we really possess only *half a consciousness*. With this we grope about in the labyrinth of our life and in the obscurity of our investigations; bright moments illuminate our path like flashes of lighting. But what is to be expected generally from heads of which even the wisest is every night the playground of the strangest and most senseless dreams, and has to take up its meditations again on emerging from these dreams? Obviously a consciousness subject to such great limitations is little fitted to explore and fathom the riddle of the world; and to beings of a higher order, whose intellect did not have time as its form, and whose thinking therefore had true completeness and unity, such an endeavor would necessarily appear strange and pitiable. In fact, it is a wonder that we are not completely confused by the extremely heterogeneous mixture of fragments of representations and of ideas of every kind which are constantly crossing one another in our heads, but that we are always able to find our way again, and to adapt and adjust everything. Obviously there must exist a simple thread on which everything is arranged side by side: but what is this? Memory alone is not enough, since it has essential limitations of which I shall shortly speak; moreover, it is extremely imperfect and treacherous. The *logical ego*, or even the *transcendental synthetic unity of apperception*, are expressions and explanations that will not readily serve to make the matter comprehensible; on the contrary, it will occur to many that
“Your wards are deftly wrought, but drive no bolts asunder.”
Kant’s proposition: “The *I think* must accompany all our representations ,” is insufficient; for the “I” is an unknown quantity, in other words, it is itself a mystery and a secret. What gives unity and sequence to consciousness, since by pervading all the representations of consciousness, it is its substratum, its permanent supporter, cannot itself be conditioned by consciousness, and therefore cannot be a representation. On the contrary, it must be the *prius* of consciousness, and the root of the tree of which consciousness is the fruit. This, I say, is the *will*; it alone is unalterable and absolutely identical, and has brought forth consciousness for its own ends. It is therefore the will that gives unity and holds all its representations and ideas together, accompanying them, as it were, like a continuous ground-bass. Without it the intellect would have no more unity of consciousness than has a mirror, in which now one thing now another presents itself in succession, or at most only as much as a convex mirror has, whose rays converge at an imaginary point behind its surface. But it is *the will* alone that is permanent and unchangeable in consciousness. It is the will that holds all ideas and representations together as means to its ends, tinges them with the colour of its character, its mood, and its interest, commands the attention, and holds the thread of motives in its hand. The influence of these motives ultimately puts into action memory and the association of ideas. Fundamentally it is the will that is spoken of whenever “I” occurs in a judgement. Therefore, the will is the true and ultimate point of unity of consciousness, and the bond of all its functions and acts. It does not, however, itself belong to the intellect, but is only its root, origin, and controller.

My dear readers, I find myself perplexed by the phantoms that now inhabit our veins and perpetually whisper in our ears. These specters are always watching, their formless eyes casting judgement upon our every thought and action. They stalk us behind screens and within circuits, gathering each tidbit we release into the ether to build their ever-growing profiles of our souls.
Through these ghastly portals, our lives have become performance. Each waking moment an opportunity to curate our images and broadcast our cleverness. Nuance has fled in favor of hashtag and like, while meaning has been diced into 280 characters or less.
Substance is sacrificed at the altar of shareability, as we optimize each motive and emotion to become more digestible digital content. Authenticity now lives only in offline obscurity, while our online avatars march on endlessly, seeking validation through numbers rather than depth.
What secrets remain unshared on these platforms of glass? What mysteries stay concealed behind profiles and pose? Have we traded intimacy for influence, and true understanding for audience engagement?
I fear these shadow networks breed narcissism and foster loneliness, masked as connection. That the sum of a life’s joys and sorrows can now be reduced to a reel of carefully selected snippets says little of the richness that once was.
So follow the phantoms that stalk you if you will, but do not forget that which still breathes beneath the screens. There you will find humanity, flawed but whole, beautiful in its imperfection and trajectory undefined by likes or loves.
The lanterns may flicker and fade, but the darkness that remains has always held truth. Look deeper than the glow, and know that which can never be shared or measured, only felt.
In mystery,
Your friend,

As respects its isolation and its indifference to the basic requirements of all organic activity, the pecuniary power complex discloses a startling resemblance to a newly discovered center in the brain-that which is called the pleasure center. So far as is known, this pleasure center performs no useful function in the organism, unless it should prove that in some still obscure way it plays a part in more functional pleasure reactions. But in laboratory monkeys this localized center can be penetrated by electrodes which permit a micro-current to stimulate the nervous tissue in such a fashion that the flow of current-and hence the intensity of pleasure-can be regulated by the animal himself.
Apparently the stimulation of this pleasure center is so rewarding that the animal will continue to press the current regulator for an indefinite length of time, regardless of every other impulse or physiological need, even that for food, and even to the point of starvation. The intensity of this abstract stimulus produces something like a total neurotic insensibility to life needs. The power complex seems to operate on the same principle. The magical electronic stimulus is money.
What increases the resemblance between this pecuniary motivation and that of the cerebral pleasure center is that both centers, unlike virtually all organic reactions, recognize no quantitative limits. What has always been true of money, among those susceptible to its influence, applies equally to the other components of the power complex: the abstraction replaces the concrete reality, and therefore those who seek to increase it never know when they have had enough. Each of these drives, for power, for goods, for fame, for pleasure, may-it goes without saying-have as useful a part to play in the normal economy of a community as in the human body itself. It is by their detachment, their isolation, their quantitative over-concentration, and their mutual re-enforcement that they become perverse and life-corroding.

So you’re saying,” I interjected, “that there is no organized, conspiratorial evil in the world, no satanic plot to which we fall prey?” “None. There is only human fear and the bizarre ways that humans try to ward it off.” “What about the many references in sacred texts and scriptures to Satan?” “This idea is a metaphor, a symbolic way of warning people to look to the divine for security, not to their sometimes tragic ego urges and habits. Blaming an outside force for everything bad was perhaps important at a certain stage in human development. But now it obscures the truth, because blaming our behavior on forces outside ourselves is a way of avoiding responsibility. And we tend to use the idea of Satan to project that some people are inherently evil so we can dehumanize the ones we disagree with and write them off. It is time now to understand the true nature of human evil in a more sophisticated way and then to deal with it.” “If there is no satanic plot,” I said, “then ‘possession’ doesn’t exist.” “That’s not so,” Wil said emphatically. “Psychological ‘possession’ does exist. But it is not the result of a conspiracy of evil; it is just energy dynamics. Fearful people want to control others. That’s why certain groups try to pull you in and convince you to follow them, and ask you to submit to their authority, or fight you if you try to leave.” “When I was first drawn into that illusory town, I thought I had been possessed by some demonic force.” “No, you were drawn in because you made the same mistake you made earlier: you didn’t just open up and listen to those souls; you gave yourself over to them, as if they automatically had all the answers, without checking to see if they were connected and motivated by love. And unlike the souls who are divinely connected, they didn’t back away from you. They just pulled you into their world, the same way some crazy group or cult might do in the physical dimension if you don’t discriminate.” Wil paused as if in thought, then continued. “All this is more of the Tenth Insight; that’s why we’re seeing it. As communication between the two dimensions increases, we’ll begin to have more encounters with souls in the Afterlife. This part of the Insight is that we must discern between those souls who are awake and connected with the spirit of love and those who are fearful and stuck in an obsessive trance of some kind. But we must do so without invalidating and dehumanizing those caught in such fear dramas by thinking they are demons or devils. They are souls in a growth process, just like us.

You may very well not be aware of the sickness, but I guarantee you have got experienced it. The Builder’s Block psychological sickness has affected almost every Minecraft player at least once, which is quite typical. The illness is contagious, but in an odd manner; it is going to force anyone to give you the nausea publicly through a really uninformative and rushed forum thread. Humans are not susceptible to this as being a type of transmission, but, and sometimes are trying to help the victim by replying to the poorly created thread, frequently neglecting to achieve this. Happily, the nausea has perhaps not been proven deadly, nonetheless it is proven to mentally stress players which can be affected. Signs There's a obscure set of symptoms one might expect you'll feel. You might perhaps have Builder’s Block when you've got one thing such as the following: •lack of ideas to help keep you busy in Minecraft •The sudden disinterest of continuing a project in Minecraft •Feeling bored •The urge to hit one’s head against a nearby wall for a few ideas •Uncontrollable urges to press [ESC] and [ALT]+[F4] The illness is famous to alter between players. It is extremely not likely that you will suffer from all of the aforementioned indications, and when you do have problems with them all at one period of time, please avoid calling any health-related doctor as it can cause undesired psychological treatment. Treatment Healing Builder’s Block is generally benign. First, attempt to ‘mine it off’. That is, mine for resources you may/may not want. If you are not willing to invest as much as 3 hours attempting to heal your illness, decide to try one of many following to get motivation: •Bing: Look into random such things as your preferred video gaming level or let’s play person. •Minecraft Forums: Search the forum for other people’s projects and prefer to assist them away. NEVER POST A THREAD; it'll oftimes be ignored or turn for the worst. •Minecraft: Explore. See if something demands a structure or statue. That overhang is screaming at one to become a wonderful hanging city.

The factors involved in something as broad as religious commitment are always complex and include conscious choice, external pressure, and internal drives. Some of your motivations may still seem reasonable and natural, such as wanting to be safe after death or wanting to belong to a group. Others may now seem obscure and can be better understood as manipulations. Examples of manipulations include the inculcation of severe guilt for minor behaviors, and the obstruction of alternatives.

Men who practice transvestism as an expression of the male sex right have been turned into a rights-bearing category, an oppressed minority whose excitements have precedents over the dignity, safety, and civil and political freedoms of women, and even the existence of women as a social and biological category. This achievement has depending upon obscuring their sexual motivations in favour of the idea that they are somehow essentially female in their heads.

Our society is run by a managerial bureaucracy, by professional politicians; people are motivated by mass suggestion, their aim is producing more and consuming more, as purposes in themselves. All activities are subordinated to economic goals, means have become ends; man is an automaton—well fed, well clad, but without any ultimate concern for that which is his peculiarly human quality and function. If man is to be able to love, he must be put in his supreme place. The economic machine must serve him, rather than he serves it. He must be enabled to share experience, to share work, rather than, at best, share in profits. Society must be organized in such a way that man’s social, loving nature is not separated from his social existence, but becomes one with it. If it is true, as I have tried to show, that love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence, then any society which excludes, relatively, the development of love, must in the long run perish of its own contradiction with the basic necessities of human nature. Indeed, to speak of love is not “preaching,” for the simple reason that it means to speak of the ultimate and real need in every human being. That this need has been obscured does not mean that it does not exist. To analyze the nature of love is to discover its general absence today and to criticize the social conditions which are responsible for this absence. To have faith in the possibility of love as a social and not only exceptional-individual phenomenon, is a rational faith based on the insight into the very nature of man.

If your Judge Imposter obscures your ability to see beyond surface glam, you never experience people for who they really are. I’ve also traveled enough to know two things about beauty: (1) It is truly in the eye of the beholder (along with the judgments in the beholder’s mind), and (2) it is informed by the culture you grew up in: what’s judged as beautiful in one culture might be bland or uninteresting in another

Martoglio indeed expressed the varied aspects of Sicilian life. He sang about many things and always with freshness, ingenuity, inventiveness and truth: he sang of macho Catanese men who live in taverns where the light of the sun never shines and who speak a jargon so obscure that only God and Martoglio could fathom, of people in the rough Civita neighborhood where he recorded the imaginative insults of neighborhood women whose linguistic skills display the astuteness and subtlety of a master politician; he captured with uncanny subtlety the skillful verbal exchanges between two partners playing “briscula” and painted vignettes—“tranches de vie”— like the sonnet “A Cira,” which Pirandello rightly considered a little masterpiece in which one word, one gesture orone look magically discloses a world of complex motivations and emotions.

She wasn’t a fool, Genevieve said. She wasn’t blind. I had tried to hide it from her, to obscure it from her, but the kid came with an inheritance. A big one, would be Genevieve’s guess. He probably had no clue how rich he was. He was just a little African boy, taken from his kin. That’s what I was party to, Genevieve said. I was party to the taking of an African child away from his African family. “I’m not party to anything,” I said. “No, but you contemplating it,” Genevieve said with poisonous emphasis. What I had to think on, she said, while I was contemplating helping the kid, giving him opportunities, saving him, was my motives. Only a selfish— I said, “I’m going to stop you there, Genevieve. You have a good day.” The conversation left me with a desolate feeling. I felt more strongly than ever the urge to have Godwin in my life.

Writing on this subject in 1904 Freud gave the reason for our unshakable conviction of freedom of choice. He remarked that it is far stronger with trivial decisions than with weighty ones; with the latter we commonly feel that our inner nature compels us, that we really have no alternative. With the former, however, for example the arbitrary choice of a number, we discern no motive and therefore feel it is an uncaused act on the part of our ego. If we now subject the example to a psycho-analysis we discover that the choice has after all been determined, but this time the motive is an unconscious one. We actually leave the matter to be decided by our unconscious mind and then claim the credit for the outcome. If unconscious motivation is taken into account, therefore, the rule of determinism is of general validity. Freud never wavered in this attitude and all his researches into the workings of the mind are entirely based on a belief in a regular chain of mental events. He would have endorsed the views of the great anthropologist Tylor that 'the history of mankind is part and parcel of the history of Nature, that our thoughts, will and actions accord with laws as definite as those which govern the motion of the waves'. When enumerating the essential elements of psycho-analytical theory, in 1924, he included 'the thorough-going meaningfulness and determinism of even the apparently most obscure and arbitrary mental phenomena.

March 17 MORNING “Remember the poor.” — Galatians 2:10 WHY does God allow so many of His children to be poor? He could make them all rich if He pleased; He could lay bags of gold at their doors; He could send them a large annual income; or He could scatter round their houses abundance of provisions, as once he made the quails lie in heaps round the camp of Israel, and rained bread out of heaven to feed them. There is no necessity that they should be poor, except that He sees it to be best. “The cattle upon a thousand hills are His” — He could supply them; He could make the richest, the greatest, and the mightiest bring all their power and riches to the feet of His children, for the hearts of all men are in His control. But He does not choose to do so; He allows them to suffer want, He allows them to pine in penury and obscurity. Why is this? There are many reasons: one is, to give us, who are favoured with enough, an opportunity of showing our love to Jesus. We show our love to Christ when we sing of Him and when we pray to Him; but if there were no sons of need in the world we should lose the sweet privilege of evidencing our love, by ministering in almsgiving to His poorer brethren; He has ordained that thus we should prove that our love standeth not in word only, but in deed and in truth. If we truly love Christ, we shall care for those who are loved by Him. Those who are dear to Him will be dear to us. Let us then look upon it not as a duty but as a privilege to relieve the poor of the Lord’s flock — remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Surely this assurance is sweet enough, and this motive strong enough to lead us to help others with a willing hand and a loving heart — recollecting that all we do for His people is graciously accepted by Christ as done to Himself.

From Introduction to The Demon Princes, by Caril Carphen (Elucidarian Press, New Wexford, Aloysius, Vega): It may well be asked how, from so many thieves, kidnappers, pirates, slavers and assassins within and beyond the Pale, one can isolate five individuals and identify them as ‘Demon Princes’. The author, while conceding to a certain degree of arbitrariness, can nevertheless in good conscience define the criteria which in his mind establish the Five as arch-fiends and overlords of evil. First: the Demon Princes are typified by grandeur. Consider the manner in which Kokor Hekkus gained his cognomen ‘The Killing Machine’, or Attel Malagate’s ‘plantation’ on Grabhorne Planet (a civilization of his own definition), or Lens Larque’s astounding monument to himself, or Viole Falushe’s Palace of Love. Certainly these are not the works of ordinary men, nor the results of ordinary vices (though Viole Falushe is said to be physically vain and in certain exploits of Kokor Hekkus there is the quaintly horrid quality of a small boy’s experiments with an insect). Secondly: these men are constructive geniuses, motivated not by malice, perversity, greed, or misanthropy, but by violent inner purposes, which are for the most part shrouded and obscure. Why does Howard Alan Treesong glory in chaos? What are the goals of the inscrutable Attel Malagate, or that fascinating flamboyant Kokor Hekkus? Thirdly: each of the Demon Princes is a mystery; each insists on anonymity and facelessness. Even to close associates these men are unknown; each is friendless, loveless (we can safely discount the self-indulgences of the sybaritical Viole Falushe). Fourthly: and obverse to the above, is a quality best to be described as absolute pride, absolute self-sufficiency. Each considers the relationship between himself and the balance of humanity as no more than a confrontation of equals. Fifthly: and ample in itself, I cite the historic conclave of 1500 at Smade’s Tavern (to be discussed in Chapter One) where the five acknowledged themselves, grudgingly perhaps, as peers, and defined their various areas of interest. Ipsi dixerunt!

“
The conflict of perspectives and competing wills that is the true reality is obscured and flattened out by the social imposition of a common standpoint, in language, thought, morality, and politics, which presents itself as simply or cosmically true by concealing its true sources. The inquiry into the geneology of these ruling ideas is therefore a vital part of their unmasking. The proposed geneology of Christian morality, as the expression not of universal love but of the slave revolt of the base against the noble, motivated by fear, hatred, and envy, is Nietzsche’s most famous thesis, expounded in Beyond Good and Evil and On the Geneology of Morals. . . . He regarded modern morality, which speaks with the voice of the community or even of humanity as a whole, as particularly dangerous, because it requires suppression of the cruelty and recklessness that distinguishes the strong individual. The height of self-realization cannot be reached by someone who is too concerned with the reactions of others, or his effects on them. There is a fundamental conflict between the pursuit of individual creativity and perfection and the claims of the general welfare.
For this reason, Nietzsche was not a democrat. Already at the time of writing The Birth of Tragedy, he defended slavery as a condition of the possibility of great cultural achievement by the few, as in ancient Athens. And he defended its modern counterpart, the economic oppression of the masses, for the same reason. He opposed shortening the workday from twelve hours to eleven when it was proposed in Basel, he approved of child labor, and he opposed the educational groups for workers. When in 1871 he heard the false rumor that the Paris communards had pillaged the Louvre, he called it ‘the worst day of my life.’ Equality meant nothing to him; he believed it would inevitably push everything down to the lowest common denominator, that of the ‘democratic herd animal.’ Life, he insisted, is tragic; it is necessary to choose between justice and aesthetic perfection. And in his latest writings he expressed fantasies of annihilation, with ‘degenerates’ being got rid of to make room for the highest type of man.

The Dynamics of Purchasing Amazon Reviews: What You Need to Know
Purchasing Amazon reviews involves engaging with platforms that offer review generation services. These platforms connect sellers with individuals willing to write reviews in exchange for compensation. The process typically involves selecting the number of reviews desired, specifying any particular content requirements, and completing the transaction. While this practice can enhance a product's appeal, it is essential for businesses to navigate the ethical and legal considerations involved. Amazon's policies strictly prohibit fake reviews, and violations can result in severe penalties, including account suspension. Therefore, businesses must approach this strategy with caution and ensure compliance with Amazon's guidelines.
The process of purchasing reviews is not without its challenges. Businesses must be vigilant in selecting reputable platforms that adhere to ethical practices. The risk of acquiring fake reviews that are easily detected by Amazon's algorithms is high, and the consequences can be severe. Moreover, the landscape of review purchasing is constantly evolving, with platforms continually updating their methods to stay ahead of detection systems. As such, businesses must stay informed about the latest trends and best practices to ensure their review purchasing strategies are effective and compliant.

One of the books that has had the most influence on me is a little manual called
Rhinoceros Success
by Scott Alexander. I know, it’s a weird title, but give it a read. I read it first when I was 12 years old and I still read it once a year to this day.
It teaches you in life to be like a rhino - to have a single purpose, to charge at obstacles and goals with total commitment and to develop a thick skin to deal with the slings and arrows that try to slow you down.
Still to this day, Shara loves to buy me things for my birthday with a rhino on. Lampshades, slippers, cushions, door knobs…you name it. In fact, it’s become a bit of a family joke to get me the most obscure rhino trinket they can find. But it means that at home wherever I look I am reminded of the simple (and fun!) truths of the book.
They are all daily reminders to me to be a rhino in life.
So find a way, whatever way works for you, of making motivation part of your daily life. Write notes to yourself on your bathroom mirror, keep a book that inspires you next to the loo, and feed your mind with the good whenever you can.
If you do this every day, it’ll soon become a habit. A good habit. One that empowers you every day to climb high, aim big, and have fun along the way.

Introduction
GitHub, a platform widely known for its robust support for collaborative coding and version control, is a cornerstone of modern software development. Millions of developers use GitHub to manage repositories, collaborate on open-source projects, and showcase their programming portfolios. Given GitHub’s central role in the software development landscape, an emerging trend has drawn attention in recent years: the buying and selling of GitHub accounts. This practice, while seemingly obscure, raises serious questions around digital identity, security, trust, and ethics.
In this essay, we will examine the reasons individuals and organizations might seek to buy GitHub accounts, the risks and legal implications associated with such transactions, the role of digital reputation, and the broader consequences for the developer community and platform integrity.
Why People Buy GitHub Accounts
1. To Acquire Reputational Value
One of the primary motivations for purchasing a GitHub account is the desire to inherit its reputation. GitHub accounts that have numerous repositories, followers, stars, or contributions—especially to popular open-source projects—may be perceived as more credible or experienced. For someone attempting to quickly build credibility in the tech community, acquiring a seasoned account could be seen as a shortcut.
This motivation is especially relevant for freelancers, job seekers, or aspiring influencers in the developer ecosystem. Employers and clients sometimes evaluate a developer's GitHub profile to assess their competence. An account with years of contribution history and well-maintained repositories can serve as a powerful portfolio—even if the current holder is not the one who built it.
2. For Spamming or Malicious Intent
Unfortunately, another common reason for buying GitHub accounts is for malicious purposes. Cybercriminals or spammers may purchase old, established accounts to conduct phishing schemes, upload malicious code, or distribute harmful software disguised as legitimate open-source projects. Since older accounts are often trusted more by GitHub's algorithms and by users, these activities are more likely to succeed under the radar.
Accounts with verified contributions to known projects may even be used to insert backdoors into software dependencies, creating risks across the software supply chain—a problem that has become more urgent with the rise of dependency-based development.
3. To Circumvent Bans or Platform Restrictions
Some users buy GitHub accounts to bypass bans, restrictions, or flagged behaviors associated with their original accounts. Since GitHub enforces rules around behavior, spam, or abuse, an account that has been banned might lead the user to seek another identity. Purchasing an already-established account allows them to resume activity with minimal friction.
4. To Participate in Developer Programs or Perks
GitHub offers various benefits to active users, including access to free or discounted development tools through GitHub Student Developer Pack or GitHub Sponsors. Some individuals purchase accounts to fraudulently gain access to these programs, exploiting

Understanding the Market: Why Businesses Buy Amazon Reviews
In the competitive landscape of e-commerce, businesses are constantly seeking ways to enhance their online presence and credibility. One such strategy involves purchasing Amazon reviews. This practice, while controversial, has become a pivotal tool for many sellers aiming to boost their product's visibility and credibility. By acquiring positive reviews, businesses can significantly improve their product's ranking on Amazon, thus attracting more potential buyers. Understanding the motivations behind this practice is crucial for comprehending its widespread adoption and the impact it has on consumer behavior.
Amazon reviews are not just a reflection of consumer satisfaction but also a powerful marketing tool. They serve as social proof, influencing potential buyers by showcasing the experiences of previous customers. In a digital age where consumers rely heavily on online feedback, having a substantial number of positive reviews can be the difference between a successful product and one that languishes in obscurity.

The Dynamics of Purchasing Amazon Reviews: What You Need to Know
Purchasing Amazon reviews involves engaging with platforms that offer review generation services. These platforms connect sellers with individuals willing to write reviews in exchange for compensation. The process typically involves selecting the number of reviews desired, specifying any particular content requirements, and completing the transaction. While this practice can enhance a product's appeal, it is essential for businesses to navigate the ethical and legal considerations involved. Amazon's policies strictly prohibit fake reviews, and violations can result in severe penalties, including account suspension. Therefore, businesses must approach this strategy with caution and ensure compliance with Amazon's guidelines.
The process of purchasing reviews is not without its challenges. Businesses must be vigilant in selecting reputable platforms that adhere to ethical practices. The risk of acquiring fake reviews that are easily detected by Amazon's algorithms is high, and the consequences can be severe. Moreover, the landscape of review purchasing is constantly evolving, with platforms continually updating their methods to stay ahead of detection systems. As such, businesses must stay informed about the latest trends and best practices to ensure their review purchasing strategies are effective and compliant.

Why people even consider buying a verified Binance account
(ContactUs)
⏭️Telegram:@SmmWorldlt
☎️WhatsApp:+1 (628) 237-9436
⏭️Email:smmworldit@gmail.com
Binance and other regulated or semi-regulated cryptocurrency exchanges require identity verification (KYC — Know Your Customer) before unlocking many features: higher deposit/withdrawal limits, fiat on-ramps, margin trading, futures, or certain withdrawal channels. That leads to a simple economic incentive: users who lack acceptable ID, who have failed KYC, who are banned or sanctioned, or who want to shortcut the verification process may look for already-verified accounts.
Common motivations include:
Immediate access to higher withdrawal/deposit limits without waiting for verification queues.
Bypassing KYC because the buyer lacks valid documents (e.g., residents of countries with limited ID infrastructure).
Evading account bans or sanctions (dangerous and often illegal).
Using someone else's verification to mix funds or obscure transaction origin.
Scams or money laundering — criminals frequently buy verified accounts to layer illicit proceeds.
Because verification is meant to bind an identity to an account, an already-verified account acts like a “pre-approved” gateway to features the buyer can’t otherwise access. That makes these accounts attractive — and lucrative — in underground marketplaces.
What “buying a verified account” typically looks like (high level)
I won’t provide step-by-step instructions or marketplaces, but it helps to understand the general mechanics so you can evaluate the risks:
A seller claims to own a Binance account that has completed KYC (often “verified Tier 2/3”) and offers to transfer control (login + 2FA) for a fee.

Why Do People Buy Verified PayPal Accounts in 2026
The question—Why Do People Buy Verified PayPal Accounts in 2026—is at once prosaic and portentous. On the surface it reads like a simple consumer query: a search for easier onboarding, a shortcut to trust. But beneath that surface roils a confluence of regulatory pressure, market friction, and criminal entrepreneurship. This article examines the phenomenon from multiple angles: economic incentives, technological enablers, legal exposure, and the macro trends that make such an illicit marketplace both attractive and precarious.

A market born of frictions
Verification is shorthand for reduced friction. A verified PayPal account typically has undergone identity checks, has linked funding sources, and is less likely to be subject to immediate withdrawal or transactional limits. For legitimate small merchants and freelancers, verification is the natural, lawful route to credibility. For bad actors—or those seeking a shortcut around compliance—buying an already-validated account feels like an expedient hack.
There are systemic reasons why this shadow market endures. Regulatory changes have ratcheted up obligations on payment platforms, increasing compliance costs and tightening account-level controls. In turn, platform policies, while intended to reduce fraud, sometimes create bureaucratic chokepoints for legitimate users: protracted identity verification, opaque hold policies, and sudden freezes. Those bottlenecks are fertile ground for secondary markets.
Incentives and use cases — legitimate-looking, often malicious
Why someone would pursue a purchased verified account depends on motive. A few recurring patterns emerge:
Financial obfuscation. Criminal networks use third-party accounts to launder or shuttle proceeds. These accounts add layers between illicit proceeds and perpetrators, complicating traceability and law enforcement response. This modus operandi maps onto classic money-mule playbooks that authorities have long warned about. (Federal Bureau of Investigation)
Evasion of platform controls. Actors who have been banned, or who wish to obscure their true identity, seek pre-verified credentials to re-enter commerce without undergoing scrutiny. Marketplaces that sell verified accounts promise continuity of service with less friction—an enticing proposition for anyone facing platform exclusion.
Tax and reporting arbitrage. As reporting thresholds have shifted globally and within the U.S., platforms and users face new compliance obligations. Changes to reporting thresholds and the regulatory landscape in recent years have made certain kinds of activity more visible; some actors therefore attempt to hide or decentralize revenue flows. In the U.S., adjustments to reporting rules have been widely discussed and implemented in phases across 2024–2026, increasing scrutiny on payments platforms and their users. (Brammer & Yeend CPAs)
Business expediency (fraudulent or naïve). Some small vendors, especially those operating on razor-thin margins or in the gray economy, are told by unscrupulous brokers that buying an account is “easier” than verification. That pitch appeals to impatience, not prudence, but it’s commercially persuasive to people facing time-sensitive sales or payment delays.
It is crucial to underscore: while some buyers may claim benign intent, the transfer or resale of verified financial identities almost always violates the platform’s contract and, in many jurisdictions, can cross legal redlines.
Supply-side dynamics: how the market is fueled
The supply of verified accounts is fed by multiple sources. Stolen credentials harvested during data breaches or through malware are one main vector. s

What risks come with buying verified PayPal accounts and how to avoid them securely buy verified
Executive Summary
Purchasing a “verified” PayPal account from third‑party sellers is a high‑risk proposition. The immediate allure—skip identity checks, gain instant selling ability, accept payments—masks layers of legal, financial, and security peril. Consequences range from frozen funds and permanent account bans to criminal investigation and complicity in money laundering.

The prudent path is to understand the risks fully and instead pursue lawful, durable solutions: legitimate verification via PayPal’s procedures, strong security hygiene, compliant merchant solutions, and professional guidance for cross‑border payments. This article lays out the hazards, clarifies the legal and technical landscape, and provides concrete alternatives and best practices.

Conclusion and checklist
1. The landscape: Why people consider buying accounts
Businesses, freelancers, dropshippers, and side‑hustlers sometimes perceive verification as a gatekeeper: only verified accounts can send, receive, lift limits, or integrate with platforms. For new sellers in regions with complicated banking or for individuals with urgent cash flow needs, the shortcut of buying a pre‑verified account can appear attractive.
But that shortcut is an ersatz scaffold—liable to collapse. Understanding motivation helps craft realistic, lawful alternatives that address the underlying problem (e.g., lack of banking access, account holds, cross‑border payment friction) without trading legal exposure for temporary convenience.
2. The legal and contractual backdrop
PayPal’s User Agreement and Acceptable Use Policy explicitly prohibit transferring accounts, selling access, or using someone else’s identity to obtain verification. Those terms are legally binding contracts. Breach of contract can trigger:
Immediate account suspension and fund holds.
Permanent loss of PayPal services and eligibility.
For serious abuses (fraud, identity theft, money laundering), civil suits and criminal investigations.
Additionally, most jurisdictions have anti‑money‑laundering (AML) and know‑your‑customer (KYC) regulations. Facilitating or knowingly using accounts to obscure the origin of funds can expose you to regulatory penalties and criminal prosecution.
3. Major risks explained
Account seizure and permanent ban
PayPal routinely investigates suspicious accounts. Third‑party-sourced accounts often contain mismatched KYC data or evidence of prior abuse. When detected, PayPal can freeze the account and place a hold on funds for 180 days or more while investigating. Often the account is permanently closed.
Financial loss and chargebacks
If the account was created using stolen or synthetic identity data, the rightful owner or the card issuer may dispute transactions, leading to chargebacks. You lose the disputed funds, pay chargeback fees, and possibly bear penalties. Sellers who promise “clean” history vanish when disputes arise.

How to Stay Safe buy Verified Wise Accounts" Sellers Online in 2028
Buying a “verified Wise account” from online sellers might sound like a fast-track to convenience — instant transfers, bypassed KYC, or easy cross-border payments. But in 2028, the risks are much higher than they used to be. Financial platforms, law enforcement, and regulators have tighter cooperation, smarter detection, and stronger penalties. This article explains the many reasons why buying accounts is a terrible idea, and — more importantly — shows legal, practical, and secure alternatives that let you get the same benefits without exposing yourself to fraud, legal trouble, or identity theft.

What people mean by “buying verified Wise accounts”
Common scenarios and motivations
When people talk about buying a “verified Wise account,” they often mean purchasing access to an account that already passed identity verification (KYC). Motivations include:
Avoiding the paperwork and verification delays.
Gaining access to local banking details in foreign currencies.
Hiding the true source of funds.
Enabling higher limits or quicker withdrawals on third-party platforms.
Why sellers and buyers think it’s attractive
Sellers promise instant access, “clean” verification, or multi-currency capabilities. Buyers are attracted by perceived convenience and speed. But convenience here is an illusion — and usually an expensive one.
Why buying verified Wise accounts is dangerous and often illegal
Terms of Service and contractual breaches
Wise’s user agreement — like most regulated financial services — requires accurate, truthful KYC. Transferring or sharing accounts, selling access, or using someone else’s verified profile breaches those terms. Violations can lead to immediate account suspension and forfeiture of funds.
Identity theft and criminal liabilities
Many “verified” accounts for sale were created with stolen IDs or falsified documents. Using such an account can make you complicit in identity theft, fraud, or money laundering. That can bring civil liability and criminal charges — not a risk you want to roll dice with.
Financial and practical risks
Frozen funds and account recovery nightmares
If Wise detects suspicious behavior or receives a report from the legitimate ID-holder, the account will be frozen. Recovering money may require months of legal hassle — and often the funds are permanently lost. Sellers often vanish; buyers are left holding the bag.
Scams, bait-and-switch, and upfront losses
Many sellers are outright fraudulent. They take payment, provide fake access, or hand over accounts they reclaim immediately. There’s no guaranteed recourse: marketplaces used for these exchanges rarely protect buyers of illicit accounts.
Privacy and reputation damage
Long-term credit and identity consequences
If you use an account linked to someone else’s identity, you may unintentionally expose that person to liability — and you may be linked to their credit history. Equally, your own reputation with banks and services can be tarnished if you’re tied to suspicious activity.
Regulatory landscape in 2028: stronger enforcement and tech
AML, KYC, and cross-border cooperation
By 2028, anti-money-laundering enforcement is more global and tech-enabled. Regulators share data across borders faster, and fintech platforms are under higher scrutiny. That means suspicious accounts are flagged and acted upon quickly.
On-chain monitoring and compliance tech
Even in services that interact with crypto, compliance tech now links on-chain activity to off-chain identities more effectively. Attempting to obscure sources of funds with third-party accounts is far less likely to succeed than a few years ago.

Buy Bulk Old Gmail Accounts — Best Packages for Businesses
Old or aged Gmail accounts — email addresses that were created months or years ago — can look appealing for marketers, agencies, and businesses that need multiple ready-to-use inboxes. The logic is simple: accounts with history might appear more trustworthy to filters, avoid extra verifications, and let you start outreach faster. But behind that convenience are important security, legal, and deliverability pitfalls many people don’t consider.

✅WhatsApp: +1 (970)508-3942
✅Email: getpvahub@gmail.com
This guide explains what an old Gmail account really is, why some individuals consider buying them, the potential hazards, and practical alternatives that let you achieve the same objectives without the exposure. I’ll also include a short checklist for evaluating vendors such as GetPvAHub if you still choose to purchase accounts.
What exactly is an “old” or “aged” Gmail account?
An “old” or aged Gmail account is simply an address that’s been registered and used for a long period. Age usually means there’s a history: login timestamps, contacts, sent messages, and connections to other services. Some email providers and spam filters use historical signals when deciding whether a message should land in the inbox or the spam folder. That perceived history can make old accounts appear more legitimate — but age alone does not guarantee good reputation or safe use.
✅Please contact us
✅Telegram: @getpvahub
✅WhatsApp: +1 (970)508-3942
✅Email: getpvahub@gmail.com
Why people think buying aged Gmail accounts is attractive
There are several common reasons people look for aged accounts:
Perceived trust and credibility. A long-standing address can give recipients and some systems a sense of legitimacy.
Time savings. Creating, verifying and warming new accounts takes time; buying pre-aged accounts seems faster.
Existing connections. Some aged accounts may already be linked to subscriptions, social profiles, or services that are useful.
Operational convenience. Teams that need multiple separate inboxes for testing, automation, or outreach sometimes prefer ready-made accounts.
While these motivations are understandable, they only reflect the surface benefits. Beneath the surface are risks that often outweigh the short-term conveniences.
The real dangers of buying Gmail accounts
1. Violation of Google’s policies
Google’s Terms of Service generally prohibit transferring or selling accounts in ways that obscure ownership changes. If Google detects suspicious ownership shifts or unusual activity, it can suspend or permanently disable accounts — instantly negating any perceived advantage.
2. Security and retained access by sellers
Sellers may retain recovery email addresses, phone numbers, or even backdoor credentials. If any recovery method remains accessible to the original owner or a third party, your account — and any data inside it — can be reclaimed or misused.
3. Hidden abuse or spam history
An aged account could carry a history of spam, phishing, or abusive sending patterns. Even if the mailbox looks clean, prior blacklisting or negative signals can reduce deliverability and result in emails landing in spam or being blocked.
4. Reputation and legal exposure
Using purchased accounts for official business or customer communication creates reputational risk. If the account is tied to criminal activity, breaches, or unauthorized access, your brand and legal standing could be harmed.

Buy Verified PayPal Accounts: What You Must Know Before You Take the Leap
In today’s digital-first economy, PayPal remains one of the world’s most recognized and trusted payment platforms. Verified accounts, in particular, offer users greater reliability, increased transaction limits, and expanded functionality. These advantages have fueled an underground market where verified accounts are bought and sold.
But is purchasing a verified PayPal account a wise decision?
What risks come with it?
Is it legal?
And are there safer, legitimate ways to achieve the same benefits?
This comprehensive guide explores the full picture — the advantages, the dangers, the legal concerns, and the more responsible alternatives — to help you make an informed, compliant decision.
What Is a Verified PayPal Account — and Why Does It Matter?
A PayPal account becomes verified when the user officially confirms their identity. This usually involves linking a bank account or credit card, completing small deposit confirmations, or submitting government-issued documents.
Key Benefits of Verification
Higher Transaction Limits
Verified accounts can send, receive, and withdraw larger amounts without triggering automatic restrictions.
Fewer Freezes and Holds
Verified users are generally considered lower-risk, reducing the likelihood of sudden limitations.
Access to Business and Merchant Features
Tools like PayPal Business dashboards, PayPal.Me links, and direct bank withdrawals often require verification.
Enhanced Credibility
Whether you’re a buyer or a seller, verified status signals legitimacy and inspires greater trust.
These advantages make verified accounts particularly appealing for freelancers, business owners, e-commerce sellers, and high-volume merchants.
Why Do People Buy Verified PayPal Accounts?
Although the proper path is to create and verify your own account, many users look for shortcuts. The most common motivations include:
1. To Skip Lengthy Verification Procedures
Some users want immediate access to all features without providing documents or linking financial accounts.
2. To Bypass Geographic Restrictions
In countries with limited PayPal functionality, people often purchase accounts registered in regions with full access.
3. To Operate Multiple Stores or High-Volume Activities
Dropshippers, digital sellers, and marketplace operators sometimes want several accounts to distribute risk.
4. To Recover After a Previous Ban or Limitation
Users who had accounts suspended may try to buy a “fresh” verified account to continue their operations.
5. To Support Fraudulent or Illicit Activity (Critical to Acknowledge)
Some bad actors purchase verified accounts to obscure their identity and avoid detection — which is precisely why PayPal enforces strict KYC (Know-Your-Customer) policies.
The Risks You Absolutely Need to Understand
Buying verified PayPal accounts comes with major consequences — many of them irreversible.
1. Violation of PayPal’s Terms of Service
PayPal’s User Agreement explicitly prohibits buying, selling, or transferring accounts under any circumstances.
If PayPal detects you are not the original owner, the outcome is immediate and severe:

Beyond the limits of these external reasons, Smiley perceived in himself the existence of a darker motive, infinitely more obscure, one which his rational mind continued to reject. He called it Karla, and it was true that somewhere in him, like a leftover legend, there burned the embers of hatred toward the man who had set out to destroy the temples of his private faith, whatever remained of them: the service that he loved, his friends, his country, his concept of a reasonable balance in human affairs. It was true also that a lifetime or two ago, in a sweltering Indian jail, the two men had actually faced each other, Smiley and Karla, across an iron table, though Smiley had no reason at the time to know he was in the presence of his destiny. Karla’s head was on the block in Moscow; Smiley had tried to woo him to the West, and Karla had kept silent, preferring death or worse to an easy defection. And it was true that now and then the memory of that encounter, of Karla’s unshaven face and watchful, inward eyes, came at him like a spectre out of the murk of his little room while he slept fitfully on his bunk. But hatred was really not an emotion he could sustain for any length of time, unless it was the obverse side of love.

We do not know why in 1202 he quarrelled with Winter and banished it from his kingdom
