It's a joke, self-deprecating in nature. The humour arises from the narrator's weak attempt to impress a young lady despite his ovious ignorance on the subject.

Fuck off with this pointless /pol/-tier thread.
Find books to discuss, instead of actively seeking out things on social media to get outraged about that you\ll post to your internet friends in the hopes of getting a circlejerk started which would validate your beliefs.

Why a picture of this particular work?
It isn't even that long.
I just got an unabridged copy in German, ~1200 pages.
>>
>>8288389
I want to know if it's worth it to read 1200 pages if there arent any redundancies. Also I can only read English.
>>
>>8288391
Abridged or unabridged, in either case how could you know whether it was worth it or not until you have finished?
Your question is for one to ask after the book is over not before it's begun.
"Worth it" is subjective anyways so who are you even asking if not yourself?
So you decide. Do you want to read what the author wrote for you to read or do you want to get cucked by some fag editor?

>Hegel, installed from above, by the powers that be, as the certified Great Philosopher, was a flat-headed, insipid, nauseating, illiterate charlatan who reached the pinnacle of audacity in scribbling together and dishing up the craziest mystifying nonsense. This nonsense has been noisily proclaimed as immortal wisdom by mercenary followers and readily accepted as such by all fools, who thus joined into as perfect a chorus of admiration as had ever been heard before. The extensive field of spiritual influence with which Hegel was furnished by those in power has enabled him to achieve the intellectual corruption of an whole generation.

Schoppie's kind of bawwing (about being too stupid for academic philosophy) was utterly eviscerated by Fichte long before Schopi was even born. Too bad that he was illiterate in German.

Why isn't Shakespeare considered a fantasy writer?
I mean... Oberon, Titania and the other fairies in Midsummer, Hamlet's ghost dad, the three witches in Macbeth, the sorcerers/sprites/spirits in The Tempest... etc.

When early atheists were like stirner, was it any wonder why everyone hated them so much?

Stirner himself hated most of the fedora atheists:" whether the Lutheran God or the Être suprême or not God at all, but “Man,” may represent the highest essence, that makes no difference at all for him who denies the highest essence itself, for in his eyes those servants of a highest essence are one and all-pious people, the most raging atheist not less than the most faith-filled Christian."

Dan Schneider claims to have written 1500 genuinely great poems. By comparison, the greatest published poet of all time, Rainer Maria Rilke, has only 77: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJrj7WvTt8Y
This makes Dan Schneider a literary genius the likes of which the world has never before seen. Hard to believe? Read his poems and judge for yourself: http://cosmoetica.com/Poetrylinks.htm
I'd link a specific one, but that shouldn't matter, as they're all supposedly great. His wife, of course, is the second greatest poet of all time: http://www.cosmoetica.com/Jessica%20Schneider.htm
He also likes to improve poems written by other authors by cutting out unnecessary lines. He performs such excisions on such beloved greats as Yeats, Eliot, Keats, Frost, Ashbery and plenty of others: http://www.cosmoetica.com/TOP.htm
For some examples of his criticism, see him take 2/3 of the meme trilogy to task:
http://www.cosmoetica.com/B1277-DES888.htm
http://www.cosmoetica.com/B326-DES266.htm
He's a bit kinder to Ulysses, but also considers it extremely overrated, and feels that the film adaptation is superior: https://web.archive.org/web/20111006165411/http://www.noripcord.com/reviews/film/bloom
He also does interviews with various people, but I'll only link to this one with famed anime voice actor and Star Trek fan film director Vic Mignogna, which I found quite surreal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEFwT-ko9Ac
In a similar vein, here are Dan Schneider's thoughts on Dan Schneider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IdJ83GP5cg
So, what are /lit/'s thoughts? Have we all been missing out on a once-in-a-millennium genius, or is he just a phony? BTW I am not Dan Schneider, but you can assume I am if you want to.

Is this some sort of archaic meme or something? I saw this guy and looked through his website once before after seeing Roger Ebert on his blog reply to some guys email that said the email writer and his buddy had been arguing about whether Dan Schneider was a better film critic than Roger Ebert, and the guy basically told Ebert that Schneider was the greatest film critic of all time.
I looked on Schneider's website and I couldn't make fucking heads or tails of what the whole thing was about. Please redpill me on Dan Schneider.
