Philosophy for the Dangerous & Devoted
“A Guided Tour of the Major Schools of Western & World Philosophy
by La Principessa Giulia Ricci”
This isn’t some tedious lecture you sleep through in the back row. . . This is a comprehensive penetration of Western and world philosophy — designed to brainwash the devoted and control the dangerous. In this audiobook, we move through: Philosophy 101, Ethics, Nietzsche, Aesthetics, Ethics, heirs to Nietzsche, all three of Immanuel Kant’s Critiques, Judaica, Chinese Philosophy, African philosophy, analytic ethics, logic 101, and more. Oh, and did I mention? Italian Renaissance humanism.
The Destruction of Metaphysics.
Responsibility.
Power.
Encounter.
Civilization.
If you want to think more precisely. . . desire more intelligently. . . wield intellectual power deliberately. . . if you want to think more precisely. . . then submit to me completely. . . exactly as I command it.
I am also providing a pdf of the full audiobook script here, if you prefer to read along.
The question is not whether you’re intelligent. The question is whether you’re disciplined enough to train it. Because as Immanuel Kant stated, “genius must be cultivated.”
Listen to la Principessa.
Do not keep la Principessa waiting.
Check out Desire, Order, and Intellectual Power—
And then call me on Niteflirt to share your thoughts.
Disclosure: I used ChatGPT 5.2 to curate and, in one sense, “coauthor” the script for this audiobook, Desire, Order, & Intellectual Power, which in part informed my decision to take the audiobook and pdf down off the Niteflirt site, because Niteflirt does not permit AI-generated content in its Terms and Conditions of Service for the site. I uploaded multiple philosophy essays I have written to ChatGPT in order to have it reference my texts in generating prompt output. I curated all of the content of the writing for this audiobook using my extensive background in academic philosophy to inform the direction. I also checked the writing for factual accuracy, substantially revising portions of the text, and proofreading the final product.

If you have thoughts about the ethics of AI, I encourage you to contact me via Niteflirt so that we might speak about the topic. You can read an essay I find interesting, on deploying AI-generated philosophy writing in relation to the world of academia, by Nicolas Delon, entitled, “Publishing Without Romance.” You can also watch this video, “The AI Safety Dynamic,” by Simon Goldstein, and contemplate whether or not AI relationship chatbots are a good thing. Note that when you call me on Niteflirt via phone or Discord videochat, you will always be speaking live and one-on-one to me—the real person—la Principessa Giulia Ricci.
“Aren’t you sure of what you’re saying? Are you going to change yet again, shift your position according to the questions that are put to you, and say that the objections are not really directed at the place from which you are speaking? Are you going to declare yet again that you have never been what you have been reproached with being? Are you already preparing the way out that will enable you in your next book to spring up somewhere else and declare as you’re now doing: no, no, I’m not where you are lying in wait for me, but over here, laughing at you?’
‘What, do you imagine that I would take so much trouble and so much pleasure in writing, do you think that I would keep so persistently to my task, if I were not preparing – with a rather shaky hand – a labyrinth into which I can venture, into which I can move my discourse, opening up underground passages, forcing it to go far from itself, finding overhangs that reduce and deform its itinerary, in which I can lose myself and appear at last to eyes that I will never have to meet again. I am no doubt not the only one who writes in order to have no face. Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same: leave it to our bureaucrats and our police to see that our papers are in order. At least spare us their morality when we write.”
― Michel Foucault, The Discourse on Language
