Even though this maymay slightly triggers me I still appreciate it. I enjoy how you are fostering a sense of elitism. I think that making people feel guilty about only knowing one or two philosophers is a good idea, this promotes diversity. But I do feel that if we are to inspire a sense of elitism and cultivate intelligence in /lit/ browsers then we must also scrutinize our maymay imagery. The maymay that you used is outdated. The "condescending Willy Wonka" has spread to may corners of internet culture and has become cliche so I would advise posting alternate images in the future.

I appreciate your work but wish to see it improved. Enjoy yourself and always improve fellow ubermensch.

There are different types of nihilism. I DOUBT you have even read Nietzsche's letters where he tells his friend the secret to understanding his philosophy.

Hegel felt history had already reached its conclusion in his time

do you know what text he says it in?

He says a lot of things that seem to contradict that. I thought one of his main points was that consciousness is always changing

interesting thought

damn that nigga got picasso eye like a mother fucker

Mine personally is "There was a wisteria vine blooming for the second time that summer on a wooden trellis before one window, into which sparrows came now and then in random gusts, making a dry vivid dusty sound before going away: and opposite Quentin, Miss Coldfield in the eternal black which she had worn for forty-three years now, whether for sister, father, or nothusband none knew, sitting so bolt upright in the straight hard chair that was so tall for her that her legs hung straight and rigid as if she had iron shinbones and ankles, clear of the floor with that air of impotent and static rage like children’s feet, and talking in that grim haggard amazed voice until at last listening would renege and hearing-sense self-confound and the long-dead object of her impotent yet indomitable frustration would appear, as though by outraged recapitulation evoked, quiet inattentive and harmless, out of the biding and dreamy and victorious dust."

start by being mindful of those things while you're reading books

>Finished the Greeks

The greeks cannot be read; only re-read
one can only physically cease reading them, the well remains untapped

I keep trying to have theater threads and nobody responds so I doubt this will go anywhere OP.

I've really enjoyed the following plays but I don't think they're particularly modernist.

Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller
(the one with Dustin Hoffmann and John Malcovich, available on tpb)

Long Day's Journey into Night, Eugene O'neill

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uVwAPVfDnI

Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wifcyo64n-w


I would watch them in that order, they're all really fantastic but also long. Great for a Saturday evening at home alone. Long Day's Jorney into Night is slow to start, but stick it out because the last hour and especially half hour are worth every second.

>>7845173
I've read "death of a salesman" and I've watched Waiting for Godot, and I preferred Godot much more than the former. Thanks for the O'Niell one.

Don't you dare finish this fucking essay

A revolution can still be a revolution if it doesn't slide into an anti-aristocratic hellhole. Get your Leftist shit away from my Washington, ethnic minorities and women are not talked about in the constitution, since "minorities" are subhuman slaves and women are not men.

The Idiot might fit what you're looking for

I'll give you a great hint on life: nothing will compare to your memory of your firsts, and if you continue to compare everything to them, your life will suck. Learn to appreciate things for what they are and, sooner or later, you'll realize that what you have now is better than what you had back then.

The closest thing you can get to pulp is going to be genre fiction.

But, if you want adventure, give McCarthy another try, or read Moby-Dick. Hesse and Conrad might also be good options.

>>7844804
It isn't a nostalgia thing, I just miss old timey stories of daring. Most of it today is genre fiction like fantasy and that's been a disappointment for me.

Isn't David Duke like, the biggest charlatan "nationalist" ever to emerge from the American WN scene?

i used to think David Duke was an evil fascist like Donald Trump etc. but he was the only man who honestly reported on the Trayvon Martin case, and now I have to respect him

>>7844658
