I liked the part where there was only one word on an entire page.

Totally not a gimmick.

The New Man of 4chan Anonymous 2016-03-30 05:32:18 Post No. 7867380 [Report] [View this topic]

“The first of our kind has struck fear into the hearts of America,” announced one commenter last year on the giddily offensive /r9k/ board of the notorious, anarchic site 4chan. “This is only the beginning. The Beta Rebellion has begun. Soon, more of our brothers will take up arms to become martyrs to this revolution.” The post, dated October 1, was referring to the news that twenty-six-year-old Chris Harper-Mercer had killed nine classmates and injured nine others before shooting himself at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon.
The night before the shooting, an earlier post on /r9k/ had, in veiled but ominous terms, warned fellow commenters from the Northwestern United States that it would be a good idea to steer clear of school that day. The implication was not lost on the /r9k/ community. The first responder in the thread asked, “Is the beta uprising finally going down?” while others encouraged the anonymous poster and gave him tips on how to conduct a mass shooting. The apparent link between the post and the killer remains under FBI investigation, but in the immediate wake of Harper-Mercer’s rampage, a number of the board’s users hailed it as a victory for the beta rebellion.

Normie here. What are the most important books about philosophy in the last 50 years?

I'm looking to expand my reading philosophy list past Nietzsche, as simplistic as that sounds.

I don't read many books, but I am glad I had the chance to read this one.
So much wit, the blurry line between
humour and fucked up scenarios, everything felt so good.
It has great characters, which is one of the book's points, and a very nice writing ( at least as far as I can tell from a translation).

What's lit's critical analysis and response to DFW's famous 'This is Water' commencement speech at Kenyon College?

[Full text found here: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~drkelly/DFWKenyonAddress2005.pdf]

This speech, in my view, sums up DFW's zeitgeist in one compact twenty minute session. You see the mind at work, the despair, and the hope peeking out through the cracks. It's a shame the despair triumphed in the end, but so it goes.

Sure, the rule taken from this speech can be condensed to mindfulness. As a whole though, I see 'This is Water' as a microcosm of DFW.

which authors, and which of their works, are necessary to read before reading Land?

then, having read those, where do I start with Land?

I am autistic, and I know a (very) little about Land, so I am fairly sure I'd enjoy him.
