Isn't the point of Hal that he knows a lot of theoretical shit that he can cite but is completely naive and doesn't understand humans at all?

She beith a character of whimst cometh from fiction. Thusly, she be not legit as being such.

Only the last line is a 'smart' saying. Conversations that revolve around personalities - even personalities focused on personal beliefs, and even if those personalities are revolutionary philosophers - are inherently devoid of any intellectual value. Saying that Hobbes is Rousseau in a dark mirror communicates no true understanding of either personality, nor does it offer serious insight on their ideals (though it could be expanded on to offer such); it is a statement that appears intelligent, without holding the merit to warrant such alone.

Intellectual, eh? I often shout "Go to the library. And step on it!" on crowded subway trains.

It is just namedropping a bunch of philosophers and empty rhetoric to me.
I think I wouldn't notice a female genius if I met one; or they would hide it, or - if I would - they would be into more scientific, autistic, subjects.

>or - if I would - they would
Make that:
>or - if I would notice it - they would
For better clarity.

I think he was going for a kind of if I would meet one or if I would notice it combination, but what you wrote was better.

>I take small bits out of a conversation to make someone look pretentious

"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.
" - Ernest Hemingway

Sounds like masturbation to me, m8. You've got to be more subtle than that.

What is this thread fucking about.

The writer used her, at this Y. to criticize the inflated ego of an 18-going-on-college self styled intellectual. Her self is not decipherable to the others in the room who are primarily men from other backgrounds and cultural spheres. (Reflect: What is the significance of the bathroom?)

I did not mean to use the word "criticize" - "explore" would have been more accurate.

>>10002144
Plato's influence on Nietzsche is underestimated, I believe that Schmitt is just Hobbes and Rousseau in an even darker mirror, I believe, with Socrates, that truth is virtue.

This. Her entire statement is nothing but trivial observations

We really don't have much to say to each other

>"Say something smart"
What defines 'smart'?

I think the influence of Big Dave on /lit/ is underestimated.
I believe that Zizek is just Chomsky in a dark adult movie theater, and I truly believe, with Land, that technology is neat

>>10002144
>I think the influence of Aristippus the Younger on Descartes is underestimated. I believe Rorty is just Kant in a dark mirror. And I truly believe, with Max Stirner, that you are my property

>>10002239
I think did makes more sense than would there

>I think the influence of Jews in society's downfall is underestimated. I believe YHWH is just the Demiurge in a lower Sefirot. And i truly believe, with Solomon, that vanity of vanity, all is vanity

Interesting. Sounds a bit like Funny Ha Ha, which is actually good.

>>10002144
Rousseau is just Hobbes in a faggot mirror, more like.
