Anorexia and the body |
Sunday – January 25, 2026

In my posts about fatness and obesity, which you can read here and here, I made the case that the modern world is remarkable in how it has managed to completely invert normal hierarchies, even to the extent that people in adverse material circumstance tend to be fatter and more "well nourished" in the 21st century, a completely new phenomena, really a hyper-modern phenomena; really nothing of this sort has been recorded at any other point in human history. This means that people are not only worse of metaphysically in the 21st century than at any other point in history, but most people are also worse off materially, which again seems remarkable, since most people can claim all sorts of materialist "benefits" today, but sure enough these material so-called "benefits" are really of no use to people, unless you count obesity as a "benefit". Why have I chosen to label my heading "Anorexia and the body"? Well, because in my view the best mark of a man with discipline is a man who refuses to become a monster outwardly, but I do need to add that just because a man rejects the outwardly expression of the beast he may still lack skills, and I hold that while it's certainly true that dying from starvation in an age of extraordinary material abundance is a far more honorable way to die and to act, that this is still an expression of a lack of means: it should not be required that you die of starvation in order to win against the serpent, but I will return to this later. But again, this is also just an outward expression of discipline, something that I've described in the past already and have no need to return to here. But something I do quickly want to return to here is the means of losing weight, or really the means of never gaining weight in the first place. See, the modern world saps most men of all energy and will power, and because of this it has become very hard for most people to not embrace the beast, and to this outward extent I do believe that it is true to say that a man or woman who allows their body to approach monstrosity is a very ugly man or woman, and this is the essential point of beauty. Also, I do admire the ability to embrace radical means in the warfare against the serpent, and this could mean employing methods that are radical or considered radical in the contemporary context, such as using heroin or other "imagination enhancers" to lose weight or never gaining weight, but this must also always be balanced against the potential for addiction, or really changing one addiction for another, which in the end would solve no problems, even though the argument could be made, here from a completely material point of view, that it is still preferable to be a skinny heron user than being a fat person addicted to food; again these are considerations outside the scope of this post, so I will make no further attempts to explore them in great detail, something that I have already done to a certain extent in the previously linked posts. Again, in this connection I need to add that I am not a medical professional or a lawyer and I want to just again clarify that I am not calling on you or anyone else to break the laws; the simple truth is that you will never win against the beast, at least not as long as you remain in the mud and on his low and primitive level. My message is essentially this: yes, you can think of anorexia as yet another radical means in the warfare against the serpent, and if anorexia can be used as a weapon against obesity and other modern diseases, then you can begin from there to approach the all and the eternal, but again starting from anorexia may not be a good idea, it would depend on the individual, but essentially it must be true that only someone very exceptional can keep the discipline and self-awareness needed to starve themselves, and this can only be considered an act of love in the face of material domination and industrialized degeneracy. Of course, a starving person will be weak, but only weak materially. Ask yourself this: is it truly the case that anorexia is a disease, or is it not the case that anorexia is a bulwark against disease and degeneration? Again, I am not advocating anything here; I am simply asking questions that far too often go unanswered.

    Verily, anorexia is context dependent, and the anorectic mindset can hardly be described as a crusade against modernity in a normal context, but I believe that many anorectic people are on to something, and that their struggle showcases the insanity of the modern world; essentially you are asked to become a monster. Yes, why not? Why should you not become equally monstrous? People are, they say, merely products of their environments, and this is a core feature of egalitarianism, which means that they, the revolutionary elite, will not stop until everyone is as fat as the lowest and most beastly person; essentially this means that people are being forced to exist on a level below humanity. This state, this diseased and terminal phase of the Kali Yuga, cannot and will not stand, but it should be taken as a sign of our times that there are now more fat people than ever before, and fat people so outnumber skinny people that it has come to be considered quite normal to be fat. Again, none of this would've been problematic or a sign of anything in normal times, but these are not normal times. Think about what fatness signifies: if you are a fat individual, you are very much a modern man, a man shaped by and controlled by the serpent, and more likely than not you will never be able to escape this fate, and even more likely, you know and understand and accept this fate. If this is not the epitome of disease and corruption, then the world is truly lost. Indeed, the silence is more telling: these people, modern men, are robots and they are silent, just as they should be and just as they've been told to be. Your body has essentially become the battleground in this metaphysical warfare, and to the extent that your body is a reflection outwardly of your intent, fatness is indeed a very poor indicator, quite in keeping with the profane sciences as well, which is even more bizarre, yet this fact is not likely to change anyone's mind, because the history of the serpent has already been written, more on that in my "Future series". Yes, anorexia is a good indicator, but only outwardly. Beware, always, of the means...
