Recently, I rebranded & chose the username @stoic_sith

But, if the Sith the main villains of the Star Wars franchises, then why?

Let's look at what's different between the Sith and the Jedi.

What does the philosophy of the Sith share with various philosophical ideas?

Reincarnation! 🌌 Special thank you to Poetica Atelli for writing the poetry featured above.

The paradox of the oracle (Delphi) was that because it forced people to interpret the vagueness of those utterances, the ‘ball’ was implicitly returned right back to those who sought its guidance. That way, rather than having the god (Apollo) clearly telling them what to do, people were indirectly lead to use their own intellectual faculties to come up with the answers best fitted for their particular challenges or problems.

This is where I tweet from

My family coat of arms depicts 3 bats. In heraldy (family crest symbols), bats represent awareness of the powers of darkness and chaos, as well as watchfulness.

I am a Sith and a noticer by nature.

It's in my blood.

One of the most dangerous delusions of our times is that "love wins".

An emotionally-loaded of guilt-based undertone, platitude that couldn't be further from the truth designed to fool the gullible, disarm the strong and dissuade the bold from decisive action.

This lie was originally propagated by the enemy who brought in the alien desert dogma that replaced the organic European life-affirming belief systems of might and supremacy based on an understanding of the natural law of struggle.

"If you adopt your enemy's religion, you are enslaved" — Polydorus of Sparta.

Our enemies do not brood over delusions of morality. Deception, relentless tactics of psychological warfare and unconstrained implementation of their schemes is what has brought them power and dominion.

Love doesn't bring victory, power does! Power comes to those willing to commit if necessary monstrous acts. Nature designated the lion as king of the beasts. The lion is king not because he cares whether he is loved or considered moral. The lion will devour his prey while it's still breathing.

We need to remember we descend from those of the lion clan. Praised be to the immortal spirit of Leonidas! Heraclid! Lionheart! Slayer of those immortals! Gatekeeper! King!

"Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt."

Sun Tzu

Concentrate every minute like a Roman— like a man— on doing what’s in front of you with precise and genuine seriousness, tenderly, willingly, with justice. And on freeing yourself from all other distractions. Yes, you can— if you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered , irritable. You see how few things you have to do to live a satisfying and reverent life? If you can manage this, that’s all even the gods can ask of you.

Marcus Aurelius
