>>

(2nd statement) Sincere Statement: The 1st statement is false.

Sincerity is basically a narcissistic naivety, an expectation that everyone is the same as you and everyone different is just being 'ironic.' Basically the IRL equivalent of 'anyone who disagrees with me is trolling!'

Irony is often used as a form of politeness and a self-awareness that 99% of humanity thinks your opinions are shit and doesn't want to hear it.

The ironic statement makes both of these statements one ironic statement. This was a sincere statement by the way. Although that clarification was fairly ironic, but now this sentence admitting that might make it sincere.

>>
>>7471924
the sentence is false? THE sentence? As in the concept of the sentence itself? Pretty ironic tbqh, not expecting that.
>>
>>7471924
If the 1st statement is sincere, then we are stuck in an infinite loop unable to proceed to the 2nd statement. However, since the 2nd statement exists, we must arrive there, which must make the 1st statement ironic. This leads to the 2nd statement being sincere, which states that the 1st statement is false, which brings us to another infinite loop.

Dfw taught me to stop living a life of ironic detachment, being cynical, making fun of everything, thinking life was a big joke. People used to call me the funniest person theyd ever met because i had this mordant deadpan take on everything. One day i was meditating longer than i ever had before and i went deeper into myself than i ever had before and i found this subterranean layer of deep fear and anxiety that i realized i was carrying around with me constantly and was the real source of my constant ironic commentary on everything. I realized that sometimes even though i didnt mean to i could be cruel to people with my jokes and that when i made fun of my friends it was because i couldnt resist because i was addicted to everyones laughter and their calling me funny. I realized that dfw had been talking about living more sincerely and compassionately in all his books and that i had even echoed his sentiments to my friends and i would talk about his books all the time without even realizing that i was the embodiment of the sort of too-cool-for-school, surrounded-by-morons, cynical, pessimistic, sardonic attitude he'd been telling me for years led to the personal misery that i thought was just a part of life. So wallace didnt change my life per se, it was more that i came to realize that he was right the whole time, and ive let go of my toxic attitudes that were really, i came to realize, defense mechanisms, psychological shields, developed to deal with the shock of adolescence, that i kept cultivating and never let go of.

Sounds like something I'd write in my diary, honestly

Except I don't meditate because I'm not a fag

I doubt myself pretty often, and I get tired of constantly joking; my dad does it my friends do it, it's getting old. I want to do something about it, and I'm trying to do something that'll help people grow, but sometimes I doubt that I have the capabilities to do so, even though I still wholeheartedly believe that doubt is from the devil.

1st: sincere
2nd: sincere w/ a thin defensive film of irony

I have found that irony is unavoidable and inescapable once a certain point is reached, that is, once originality is valued as the most important trait; also once group mentality is shunned, along with common, agreed-upon value for beauty and goodness.

The only thing left to do is to stop talking about it, bring back the aristocracy and hope irony will be forgotten, and that future generations will not find out about it.

You are absolutely right. Im far too tired of voicing my opinion on certain situations where i might actually think something about a thing, and it being different than what someone else thinks.

ladies and gentlemen, we have found our new meme sperg group to make fun of into, dare i say it, oblivion: le euphoric post-ironists. in this moment... i am sincere. how many fucking posts have i seen lately about people saying they identified with "good old neon?" there's nothing worse than this kind of two-facedly self-congratulatory bullshitting about how others think you're a genius, but really you suffer because you consider yourself a fraud. is this a stage every undergrad goes through or something? get over yourselves. this story you're telling yourself about how inhuman and desperate for sincerity you are is a fucking ego-ideal lie. you'd think you would've figured that out by now given how "postmodern" you guys are. christ.

I think pure mathematics is an autistic discipline that has nothing to do with reality and blinds people to the beauty of human existence.

I think contemporary pop culture is worse than at any other point in Western history. People who like video games and superhero movies are dead inside and blind to the beauty of human existence.

Wow, what a retarded thing to think of as both possible and desirable. Please let this be the ironic statement.
