When your Philosophy lecturer has read Foucault but hasn't heard of Stirner.
>>9236889
Stirner is a meme Anon, its like expecting a film studies professor to know about Bane posting
>>9236892
>stirner is a meme
He really isn't though. I mean of course he's used as a meme on the chans, but he is actually relevant, so your analogy is bad.
>>9236892
I have never met a film student that didn't know about Bane posting. . .

Why do writers do this?
>>9236859
Off yourself.
>>9236859
because it's simple and efficient you fucking mongrel
Because people with nothing to say use it to lend immediacy and a veneer of high modernist sophistication to their pretentious prose. But you already knew that.
going to a Zizek talk next week, what am I in for?

>Shaquelle is lost in between worlds of academia and the hood. In between defending his thesis on King Arthur and talking his best friend Mo'Shawn out of robbing the local 7-11, he lives a life of nonstop excitement. One night during an epic study binge, Mo'Shawn drags Shaquelle off to an IHOP, not knowing that there Mo'Shawn has planned a robbery. There, Shaquelle is accidentally shot in the head. Shaquelle finds himself transporting to another realm, and finds himself actually on the round table of King Arthur. Can he use his knowledge of the hood to lead the knights to victory? Time is ticking as he has hours to live in the ICU, and his thesis is due in the morning; and in Arthur's court he will learn about true friendship, solve the nagging question of his sexuality, experience the secrets of his thesis first hand, and seek the holy chalice that will heal him and bring him back to his reality. But if Shaquelle can transport from modern times to King Arthur's realm, perhaps Merlin come to Brooklyn, and terrorize the modern police force using ancient magic? And who better to serve Merlin than Mo'Shawn. Together, they solve the nagging question of their sexuality, and in the end, we learn that maybe reality and fantasy are not all they are cracked up to be, and that the best kept secrets are right in front of you.

Yup.
his critique of the college educated left is extremely woke
He was certainly alot more lucid than your average mail-bombing wacko.
I'd recommend reading his manifesto. much better than breivik's or eliott rodger's

David Foster Wallace is not high culture.
>>9236592
I do not think that there is any disagreeing on that point.
>>9236619
What did he mean by this
Because he's pop culture now?
Looking for some good Orthodox Christian writers, could be theological or fiction.

what is your definition of the übermensch and how would he live his life?

Very interesting. A few weeks ago I attended a lecture by Jacques Fontanille (a semiotician). I couldn't understand almost anything that he said, but I left with the impression that he was saying much less than it appeared, and that semiotics aren't really important or at all useful.
What is the source of the quotes?

Woah you're a smart guy for not understanding what a guy was saying in a field you done no background reading in then accept your emotional intuition it was all bullshit anyway.

Looks like his name is "Brett Wright," if "blame" has a place in a world where exploitation is the norm.

At least it isn't insidious Bowdlerization. All this screams "don't take this serious".
