Fuck off, dumb frog faggot

I have. He's mediocre

Was Cioran really a hedonist though? He seemed to think the pursuit of pleasure caused intense suffering, which he did not embrace

Pick one OP.

Hedonism can mean a calculation based on pleasure and pain, such as negative hedonism saying that avoiding pain is preferable over finding pleasure. It doesn't mean just always seeking pleasure, but rather using it as a guideline. This makes the word, like most concepts, compatible with any other concept ever invented. One can even be a natalistic hedonist if he were to argue that having kids is a matter of pleasure and social security.

I really enjoy reading him, even if I don't always agree with him. He writes with such a pessimistic ecstasy, somewhere between poetry and philosophy, manifesto and confession.
Re-reading him stoned is one of my favorite past times. It really takes the edge off his writing (and he can be quite edgy)
