Doesn't the Observer Effect in quantum physics outright destroy any argument that human sensory experience is subjective and therefore invalid? Alright, maybe the means of ascribing quality to experience is flawed, but we know now that simply by Observing we unknowingly finalize causality within the Universe - isn't this essentially nounemon? We Know the Thing in Itself not by our experiential discoveries but by our causal definition of what Is.

literally

freud wasn't wrong though

If Foucault is so good, why is Brazil one of the most violent countries in the world?

Most of our jurists, judges and other law-related intellectuals are influenced by him, law enforcement outside police work itself is heavily influenced by his penal abolishment ideas, with judges letting criminals go free because they are merely victims of society.

We should be an utopia by now.

Why don't YOU read him, form your own goddamn opinion what his problem was, and then come back and tell us? Instead of spouting /tv/ memes

lol nietzsche isnt philosophy

>>9477889
I have. I still don't get why Nietzsche was so butthurt towards alcohol. I can see why he'd hate the guy who hates his shit job and drinks to kill the pain, but why would he hate the drunken reveler who loves life and just loses himself in the bottle for a night once in awhile?

He wrote of women that every great mind likes to lose itself in the simplicity of a woman every so often, why's the bottle so much more poisonous than the broad? Risks of overindulgence are the same and likely codependent as far as I'm concerned.

I mean you can't even go look at his family life and see a drunken father who beats him or something. Considering he himself abused depressants as a way to endure his horrible bouts of illness I think it's a little stupid that he singles out one depressant as more vile than the rest.

Promised myself I would only take a short break. It's been January since I've written anything lengthy. Not writer's block, just lazy

I'm known in some circles. It's aight.

Formulating ideas for a couple different stories, not going to write even when I do get them figured out. Probably gonna write some terrible fanfic to get all the cringe out of my system first. From there, which will be about 2041 if projections are accurate, I'll probably bite a bullet after coming to the realization my talent for creating worlds will never be recognized.

He's not actually a reactionary, he's a Marxist who lost all hope in humanity

>>9477761
I didn't refer to Houellebecq as a reactionary. I described my post as reactionary, meaning the election prompted me to start this discussion.

He is just a another misunderstood sad French man.

You're supposed to be living in a world where the level of knowledge you have now is roughly baseline. Instead everyone is a retarded chimp who eats cellphone radiation for a living. The only way to find contemtnent is either to resign yourself to some kind of detached exploitative sociopathy, to re-retard yourself and learn to enjoy pop culture again, or to devote your life even at the most minute level to wrenching the whole system apart and saving the shitchimps from their unthinking prisons, even if there's no real chance of success and you'll have to work your whole life at it.

You're not special. The "normies" you despise so much have their own ideas, dreams, talents, and creative efforts to show. The only difference is that they're also happy, social people, while you're a bitter fuck posting on armenian genocide denial picture forum.

Fuck off

The errors got corrected after the first printing.

There has been 0 evidence of any other egregious errors or typos.

My fucking sides

>>9476509
Great book, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this is purely a race baiting post. So I'll bump with this post and then take my leave.

>>9476509
I like it. The section on mental illness at the end was pretty harrowing reading.

>>9476509
Definitely worth reading to ponder the ideas put forth, and also to understand the genesis of post-colonial theory. I wouldn't say that I agree with most of the ideas, however.
