WELL? HOW CAN I?
Haha jk lol. Femanon here. Unlike science philosophy is never right or wrong. Philosophical problems are genuinely unanswerable. And that's what's so AWESOME about them! Any books with funny questions and paradoxes like pic related?
Love Hank and John <3

This is a good one too! Also in this video Hank referred to "a philosopher" as she! Not he or they! He just does the right thing and doesn't make a big deal out of it. And that's awesome.
Happy 100th Birthday

Why does Stirner believe that one should be an egoist?
He says that "I for one take a lesson from them", so did he just see that everything and everyone acts narcissistically and decided to act in likewise fashion, if so then what's the justification?
Or is it because once one despooks oneself all one can think is for itself? If so then that's just retroactively justifying his egoism, what prompted him to think egoistically in the first place, why should one despook himself in the first place?
If the last question assumes a normative statement, then what's wrong with an fixed idea controlling you?
And for any retroactive justifications then how is that not sophistry? How can he assume that there's no truth and then "prove" that within his framework? Isn't that assertion a truth value itself?
>justification
heh...you just activated my trap card

>Why does Stirner believe that one should be an egoist?
Because he was extremely insecure that no one else cares about him so a philosophy in which carer for others is bad was appealing to him
Wonder if he ever talked about his relationship to his mother
New thought just popped into my head, is it because you can change rationality and reason to justify whatever you want, and even if you pick one that "contradicts" him you're still acting egoistically (to your own end)?

>this guy walks up and slaps your gf ass
wat do
give him electroshock therapy until he kills himself

It's the greatest novel ever written. It's large, sprawling, and full of imperfections that somehow make it perfect
It is the Trout Mask Replica of lit

Yup, what a great idea to produce a copy of Ulysses with all of the original mistakes unfixed.

Okay, good
This has the same concept, really--the deeper you go, the more strange, obscure, experimental, and difficult it gets. Remember, though: it's not a measure of quality.
>When I first started college, I promised myself I'd have a published book by the time I graduated
>I'm now 24 and haven't even had anything published in a magazine, let alone a entire book
I can't help but feel that no, we are not all going to make it.
>he fell for the "you won't be a failure" meme
Haha
>>8080557
But you won't be a failure as long as you keep trying
>>8080549
Have you ever read a book in your entire fucking life? There's hardly anything out there that doesn't hump your face with the message that failure is a part of life and you need to accept yourself for who you are. Are you just retarded or what?

I'm doing well in terms of reading, like I feel I'm actually reading patrician works.
But I'm a total pleb in other fields and that's utterly embarrassing.
>wanting to become a literal stereotype
why
who cares? really
Enjoy the works, if you don't like opera don't listen to it.
You are not forced to like something.
But if you like rap or some shit music, you can't call yourself "well-read" or "patrician"... In reality you are a disgrace.
As far as classical music goes, here are three different styles of it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2ZHjSA8mkY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oct3qvTqa2g
You ought to like one of them.
After you choose one (or all) wander through other compositions that are alike.
Google is your best friend.
>>8076610
Seeing a play is the only thing out of all these that I think you should actually do.
