>i don't care if he suffers,
>he's fucking insufferable
who the FUCK ARE YOU

>>8945861
it is the first thread i ever posted about him
although i got inspired by the last one

just watched this video and had to get it off my chest

first argues the individual is the most important thing because only it suffers. then tries to constrain female sexuality because it is not "comensurate with an advanced civilization and necessary for its maintenance, preservation and expansion"

>>8945841
i'm pretty sure my copy of the zone book edition of society of the spectacle includes comments on society of the spectacle but i haven't actually checked to confirm this

>>8945841
It's readable. I found that much of it is out of date.
>the working class is also occluded from representing itself in the throng of images that make up the society of the spectacle
Post-internet, that statement doesn't make much sense.
>The critique of the spectacle, that is to say, modern society insofar as it is the concrete lie, the realization of an inverted world, ideological consumption, concentrated and expanded alienation
New Testament tier whining about the evils of the world.
The only interesting parts of it for me were the quotations from Feuerbach and Freud.

fuck you

I've thought for a while that smartphones and the internet are pretty cyberpunk. Constantly being jacked into a shared virtual network with strangers from across the globe via a small handheld device.

if cogito ergo sum is an empirical observation, what's the problem with empiricism?

i believe susan haack concludes that deduction is just as unsound as deduction.

>be so butthurt by her being popular here that you throw a tantrum in a thread and then create a thread saying the exact same thing

>>8945778
She's brilliant. Shame she was a terrible class snob, though - that's what she hated most about Joyce. His vulgarity.

>>8945778
1. Joyce wasn't that poor
2. Waves > Ulysses in term of prose (which is the point of both of them if you're honest with yourself)
3. I don't really believe 2, but I wouldn't argue with someone who does
4. She wrote much more than he did, and almost all of it is important
5. number things feels sassy

I prefer to own books, than to rent them, although I got no income. I got an annual membership at my town's library aswell (It's only 15 bucks), but I always buy my books for some reason, although I could read them for free basically. Anyone else /retard/?

>>8945744

The london library only makes you return books if someone else asks for them. my dad has some obscure books hes had on loan for literally 20+ years

>>8945748
Oh, I didn't knew that. At my library you can get them for 6 weeks max.

The tormentor becomes the tormented. People become what they love and hate, because their mind focuses on it. The hall of mirrors folding in on itself. Madness.

>>8945726
He was talking to god.

Nietzsche, at his height read, is an artist variant of the philosophertype. He offers postulates of potential existential truth, not definitions. Get it by now, demonrace.

>>8945715
Either ressentiment or just general disgust with decadent values/behaviors and their effects on people, society and the world

read the communist manifesto

not even memeing you - its a very short and approachable intro to Marxism and very clearly explains why Communists think the bourgeois are damaging to society.

Its all online if you google for it.

>>8945745
Yeah I get the movement and why they have their views. I just find it interesting that so rarely do I encounter any literature with either characters or plot that has anything that seem pro-bourgeois. Is the majority of writers just part of and/or sympathizer with the proletariat? Is it really that uncommon to have a positive view on bourgeois lifestyle?

why is psychology more respected than philosophy

>>8945842
It has more practical applications and real results. From medicine to advertising. What does philosophy do anymore? Ethics are no longer debated upon in any meaningful matter. Philosophy is just mental masturbation and ego stroking.

>>8945842
psychology was a branch of philosophy. as different aspects of philosophy become observable, they cleave off into sciences.

>>8945663
that's how you do it anon
hope you've spent the saved time on writing the next great memepiece of our times

And this is why University is a meme.

I spent it living in substandard housing, jacking off while wearing my roommate's panties, and posting William Gass threads everyday for the last year.

>>8945644
Embarrassed myself so much New Year's Eve that I'm looking to move country.

Have lived in total isolation since then

On Women is the greatest achievement in the history of philosophy. Changed my life. The rest is dogshit

It's the way he writes that is most important to absorb. Even though his philosophy is unique, especially his positions on suicide and antinatalism. He's among the clearest and best philosophical writers.
