Replying to @visakanv

“Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.” La Boetie, The Discourse on Voluntary Servitude, 1576

so I finally got around to playing Persona 5 because several people asked me if the above was a reference. It wasn’t, I hadn’t heard of it, but holy shit, it’s *exactly* what I described. I suppose we’re both directly remixing Campbell and Jung here so it shouldn’t be surprising https://t.co/a3YamxT6Bb

@visakanv Curious - what were you reading while writing this? There's a flavor / cadence to this that reminds me of ancient epic poems, wondering if any of those are close to your heart.

@jachiam0 was probably channeling Joseph Campbell:

The inflated ego of the tyrant is a curse to himself and his world - no matter how his affairs may seem to prosper https://t.co/H7EYjDmkNK

Threading some notes from my latest reread of Pressfield’s War of Art (2002). I revisit it often in search of guidance and encouragement when working https://t.co/CzluYOc7hW
