I was reading Fear and Trembling and I realized something, my true "self" is a satirical entity. I already tried to read the bible and take on a sort of pragmatic religiosity and it didn't stick. alternatively simply living to sustain a secular existence not only seems pointless but also like a terrible deal, when it would seem most sensible to mitigate the personal negative utility in my life by abbreviating it. I don't want to live in a way, which even tacitly affirms the ubiquitous idea that life is simply a given, that its value is axiomatic. I want to become a subversive distortion of that very idea and parody human existence. I want to sublimate my angst into a more comprehensive form of aesthetic ambtion, one which negates the idea of me as a self-necessitating being at all. I want to be a fucking meme basically. Are there any examples of this in literature or maybe even in real life that I can learn from? Pic vaguely related.

Donald Trump. Beware: To become a meme, you have to also relinquish feelings such as shame, weakness, ineptitude, intimacy, kindness, and most pleasure.

Being a meme means to be living in despair.

Is this that Vaporwave I've been hearing about?

Just some obscure RISD artist I found yesterday. Read the vid description. It's not vapor wave at all. Talks about fragmented, fetishized self. Her channels pretty cool and she's a major QTee.

Holy shit, is it physically possible to craft a sentence that conveys "I'm a limp-wristed millenial mangina bitch" in a more convincing fashion?

>Unless the worst sting of suffering is blunted by other means [than sublimation], or denied control of the mind, such utilisation is unlikely, however. (Image: The mountaineer does not enjoy his view of the abyss while choking with vertigo; only when this feeling is more or less overcome does he enjoy it – anchored.) To write a tragedy, one must to some extent free oneself from – betray – the very feeling of tragedy and regard it from an outer, e.g. aesthetic, point of view. Here is, by the way, an opportunity for the wildest round-dancing through ever higher ironic levels, into a most embarrassing circulus vitiosus. Here one can chase one’s ego across numerous habitats, enjoying the capacity of the various layers of consciousness to dispel one another.
