Young Nick Land was the inspiration for Sheldon Cooper. What more of a flaw do you need?
>Yes, there is an enabling superpower that autists have through damage and accident, but non-autists like me have to cultivate: not giving a shit about monkey social rituals.
what did he mean by this?
Can we have a biography thread? I really enjoy interesting facts and tales from the lives of authors. Stuff like the Joyce and Hemingway drinking together (link related) or Nietzsche eating lots of fruits. I feel that in some strange way it helps me know the authors better, or at least makes them more memorable.

Right now, Gore Vidal comes to mind, gonna post more stuff as I remember it:
> Cyril Osborne was a hard line Conservative MP and Justice of the Peace. In a TV debate, he clashed with Vidal on morality and said he demanded a straight answer to a straight question: "Do you or do you not believe in corporal punishment?" Vidal replied: "Only between consenting adults."
> Vidal always rejected attempts to categorise people by sexual orientation, arguing that: "There are no homosexual people, only homosexual acts." While he claimed to have slept with thousands of men and perhaps women – when asked whether his first sexual encounter had been homosexual or heterosexual he replied he had been "too polite to ask".
> Vidal always maintained that his 53-year-long relationship with Howard Auster was sexless.
Speaking of homos:
> In his recently discovered secret diaries, Wittgenstein reports that, while masturbating at the front during World War I, he was thinking about mathematical problems.
From Zizek's How to Read Lacan
I'll just casually steal this from another thread to bump my own.
> But he soon had to return to Berlin to answer a charge of battery brought by a seamstress: Schopenhauer, who hated noise (and wrote an amusing essay [1851; translated, 1890] on the topic), had been enraged by her loud chattering on the landing outside his room; in the ensuing altercation he pushed her, and she fell down a flight of stairs. He lost the case and was obliged to pay her a monthly allowance until her death. (When she finally died, twenty years later, he commented, "Obit anus, abit onus" [The old woman dies, the burden is lifted]). The experience served only to make him more misanthropic and misogynous--his diatribe "Über die Weiber" (1851; translated as "On Women," 1890) is notorious.
where did wittgenstein splooge?
did he just bury it under the earth or something?
even if they had kleenexes what would he have done with them?

Can we have a serious discussion about Sam Harris here?
>inb4 muh hats
He's a great philosopher and thinker, perhaps one of the best in the last 20 years. He deserves discussion
>Can we have a serious discussion about Sam Harris here?
No
>want to have a discussion about an often-memed "intellectual"
>doesn't want memeing to block the discussion
>provides no start to the discussion

Should add Shadow of the Colossus to games and Low to albums.
I think Lolita and Blood Meridian make better choices for books too.
I'm assuming this is either "babies first serious X" or "gateway to serious X" depending on your level of derision.

Fuck you, pull it and look away.
If all philosophers in human history were put into a giant gladiator arena and they were to have a fist fight to the death, who would emerge victorious?
Who would die first?
They're all gay so they'd just fuck and die of aids.
Trick question(?), none would fight

Is there a correlation between intelligence and attraction. Meaning ugly/unpopular people find solace in education because they never got pussy or had many friends.
I see a lot of self-deprecation on this board. If you were to post a picture of yourself, how do you think others would react to it.
