"...the understanding that the goal is impossible is actually the starting point of the quest. I suppose that's relevant to the Cracky cult as well, now."
Yes, that, of course. Much more importantly, though, it's relevant to the fact that, even though I didn't get into Oxford and that slutty-looking Jew bitch with the turquoise hair did, I'm still much, much cleverer than she'll ever be....
But all self-irony aside, I'm very happy to see an actual intelligent discussion emerging in the Crackyverse for once. The aesthetics and ontology of Romanticism - from Jean Paul and the Schlegels through Friedrich and Eichendorff, Wagner and Rostand right down to Werner Herzog - would indeed, I imagine, provide a much more appropriate and authentic basis for a religion and philosophy of the 'Cracky experience' than is provided by the infantile mechanical pastiching or defacing of randomly-selected Christian and Hindu scripture that passes for 'religion' here at present.
It's getting late here now, and I'm not up to pushing on with this demanding theme at this hour. But maybe in the morning we can disinter this thread from under however many layers of idiot Cracky-spam Pinky Newfag or some other Child Soldier will have buried it with by then.
To this extent
