Prepare to get shit on, but I'd just like to say nice Sabbath tattoo. Smaug is cool too.

fuckin lol

you could try some of Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger books. he starts out trying to scientifically investigate the idea that he might be receiving signals from Sirius and ends up not knowing what to think.

at least he didn't go over the edge like Dick did with Valis.

oh, i dunno.. a thorough study of occultism can show the hundreds of ways that mystics have bullshitted (bullshat?) their way through life. there's a sucker born every minute.

some of this bullshit is amusing (time cube). some of it isn't (scientology).

the more you know about their bullshit, the less likely you are to fall for it.

Do you mean the interview he did with Vice?

Nah that ain't it :(

I wish that image didn't get fucked up so badly. Zizek hasn't said "my god" his entire life. The image would be funnier if it said "my gott" or something closer to the way he actually speaks. Zizek saying it so plainly loses all immersion, because of this I feel shaken rather than having a quick rooty tooty laugh with yooty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia
i get vague tactile feelings when reading or listening to music (well really listening to most things) and I find myself associating words and sounds with colors frequently.

There was something human like in the filmic mirage of that parkway image. Something embryonic or larval in those large sculptures of semi-truck slinking across the freeway floor. There must have been eighteen or twenty-five of them, all in a row. I was coming back from the “Distributor’s” motel room when I saw it.

Walking along the path scattered with dried orange leaves, I suddenly realize I'm starving. The sun is setting on my left and a bank of trees expands forward on my right, pulling my path inwards, out of sight. A brisk wind blows and a wave of bright fresh green and yellow blows across in front of me and I drop my cigarette. I adjust myself, inhale and sigh, for this is the day in which all of my bad behavior has finally caught up.

I agree with you, but

A) Political philosophers like Rousseau and Montesquieu contributed greatly to the development of modern western civilization, and Descartes was both a major philosopher and major scientist (you can almost say the same about Pascal, although he was a theologian-scientist with great prose, not a philosopher)

B) German philosophy is as bad or worse. The only good philosophy in German are the economists of Austria. We only think of the French as Charlatans because they have produced famous charlatans recently, after WW2, unlike Germany whose last one was Heidegger.
