How can other philosophers even compete? This guy literally BTFO everyone before and after him.
I think everyone who doesnt get him are plebs with no abstract thinking who cant get past his aphoristic style of writing.

idk he's not really into regular philosophical stuff so when it comes to cosmology type ontological metaphysical blah blah stuff hegel or someone like that is gonna beat him
he's more into the wisdom type of literature of those old french fuckers or montaigne or that one spanish dude gracian or schopenhauer
when compared to them he's p good
also he has real interesting subject matter with christianity

hes p awesome

No. Space opera is for children, after all.

Isaac, Rex, Suicide, and Alfonso are stood in a circle. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and they don’t even notice it, but a dialogical rush occurs whereby the conversation spins perfectly clockwise, starting with Isaac (then Rex, etc):
-It’s like pissing in the shower or eating ass. Everyone does it but no one admits it.
-You piss in the shower?
-You eat ass?
(note: Alfonso hasn’t fully listened up to this point)
-You eat ass in the shower too?
Isaac nose-exhales so hard he doesn’t even need to say This is why you cannot get laid. He’s perhaps too self-conscious (although not entirely without justification) about the women seated within hearing distance, and if you think his sexual catatonia should counteract this insecurity you’d be wrong - it’s the exact opposite. It’s not even clear if Alfonso intentionally made a zinger or if the guy simply enjoys anilingus in claustrophobically aquatic environments. Any indication of either is masked behind his near permanently affixed Oh Little Old Me? shit-eating half-grin which is drawn comfortably over his chin (or lack thereof, rather - they don’t ironically call him Big Jaw Alfonso Richardson for nothing). Suicide opts to take it is a joke, one because no one’s sanity could withstand the planet heavy mental image of a glittery wet Big Jaw enveloping his face into some poor girl’s oh christ you don’t even want to know, and two because he’s presently concentrating most of his brain-power to Isaac’s initial proposal. Rex sorta chuckles at it all. Shaking his head, he says:
-Isaac, come on. Never, until this moment, have I heard of anyone taking, as you put it, and correct me if I’m wrong, Strategically Reposed Junctures in the Masturbatory Cycle For, and I quote, Genetalia Based Somatosensory Regenerative Purposes.

I could really use some help with this short story I wrote if anyone is interested.

Isaac, Rex, Suicide, and Alfonso are stood in a circle. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and they don’t even notice it, but a dialogical rush occurs whereby the conversation spins perfectly clockwise, starting with Isaac (then Rex, etc):
-It’s like pissing in the shower or eating ass. Everyone does it but no one admits it.
-You piss in the shower?
-You eat ass?
(note: Alfonso hasn’t fully listened up to this point)
-You eat ass in the shower too?

So I assume this part is meant to convey the way in which the characters (4) are seated as well as the manner in which a small aspect of conversation happens. It starts with naming the characters, and then pushes into "once in a lifetime", and "dialogical rush" which then continues to confuse the reader. A better way to do it, as far as my opinion goes, is to list the names like this:

Isaac,
Rex,
Suicide,
and Alfonso stand in circle.

The "are" is clumsy, so I removed it. Then, write that "the conversation started from the top, with Isaac, descending down to Alfonso, (insert something with which to convey the rarity of this top to bottom structure)."
The sidenote of Alfonso seems superfluous, or extra. Heh, top to bottom.

Isaac nose-exhales so hard he doesn’t even need to say This is why you cannot get laid. He’s perhaps too self-conscious (although not entirely without justification) about the women seated within hearing distance, and if you think his sexual catatonia should counteract this insecurity you’d be wrong - it’s the exact opposite. It’s not even clear if Alfonso intentionally made a zinger or if the guy simply enjoys anilingus in claustrophobically aquatic environments.

>BAD FORMAT

I cannot tell who is speaking. This is spaghetti. It feels as if you are writing, following a train of thought into the stratosphere, where the reader cannot breathe because you have removed any air of interpretation or spacing. Also, the little sidenotes, the "lack thereof, rather", no. Trying to be cutesy feels forced, try implementing this without shoving it... 1/?

What is it with /lit/fags who think they can get anything out of these massive tomes without accompanying peer reviewed monographs?

because russia wasn't completely commited to western literally tradition, but was starting to look west. being from the peripheria awlays help to come up with great stuff.
Borges argued that the Irish and Jews were succesful becasue they were not chained to any tradition.
Borges himself wasnt commited to argentinean tradition and wrote about retarded vikings and so on

Whichever one is the woman.

Well, off the top of my head, the ability to pass down knowledge is the most important thing. Science without the means to convey it is useless. It can't be corrected or built upon.

Pretty baaad.
He just appeals to adolescents and their egos, as well as their hopes and wishes.

He wrote about cancer creating his own fictional cancer.
