I asked myself how are we to understand the concept of honour in relation to anonymous spaces like /lit/, for example. Cool, in spaces where you are connected to a fixed identity, you do have a reputation that is bound to you, so you are, in a way, controlled by it. (And motivated/propelled by it as well.) But if there's no identity, and thus no stable record of gestures – why act in a positive, generative way?

And that's the very root of honour, I believe. It must never be approached from this marketplace-logic mind. If you are a minecraft aristocrat, you behave like one despite being recognized for it or not. That's just in your essence. You post OC’s without fear. You radiate confidence and love because it is your nature. And you want your bros to prosper in the same spirit. Because that is honourable. And generous. (And that is what Nietzsche meant by being a free spirit.)

What do you think?

Schopenhauer has a good definition of honor:

>Die Ehre ist, objektiv, die Meinung anderer von unserm Wert, und subjektiv, unsere Furcht vor dieser Meinung. In letzterer Eigenschaft hat sie oft eine sehr heilsame, wenn auch keineswegs rein moralische Wirkung, im Mann von Ehre.

>Honor is, objectively, the opinion of others about our worth, and subjectively, our fear of that opinion. In the latter sense, it often has a very salutary, though by no means purely moral, effect in the man of honor.

Ha, I highly disagree! It is not the others whose opinion matters in regards of honour, but only the Origin. The source. God even. The first Form. It seems that Schoppy was never on the spectrum type o' guy.

Getting back to the anonymous spaces. Surely, no one gives a fuck about the opinion of others here. Because, in a way, it's a trash can where we sit. So, you would not behave honourably in order to gain respect of the trash people, right? You would not share with them good vibes if you only define honour as something given from the horizontal outside.

However, if honour, or thymotic drives, are concerned with the individual self-cultivation – it is another story completely. And here the league of such individuals can cooperate together against the amorphous (counter) spirit of time. (Demi-urge?)

modern age is no longer about ACCUMULTION OF HONOUR .. modern age is about MINIMISATION OF SHAME .. herein lies the seed and symptom of our many problemos
