Chris Hyatt: The Interview!

[mrda]

A rather expansive little interview with the late Christopher Hyatt, author of Undoing Yourself With Energized Meditation, To Lie Is Human and The Psychopath's Bible; all of which, at the very least, come off as jaggedly interesting reading, if you're at all into in self-transformation/ self-overcoming/ amoralist autonomy and the ilk

He does come off as the Homer Simpson of egoism in his manner - heheh!

That said, I doubt he's talking about rationality in some capital R, externally-imposed for all all time; rather, I reckon he was on about people developing their own awareness of their needs and desires. I don't think he meant pure *logic* - more an all-encompassing meta-view of the self that takes logic and emotion into account.

I kinda agree with him about the reasoning center thing - the way I see it, there'd be less sitting around, indulging in the emotional indulgence of the moment and more time spent trying to develop one's deeper emotional wants into something resembling a reality. Make the move, get the girl, self-overcome, raise one's power level to OVER 9000 - BECOME!!!

I agree with your call-out on his physical condition though; the guy seems to possess an extraordinary blind spot in that regard and ends up coming off as a grade-A hypocrite.
