What is the fundamental /ciorancore/? How does he read? I've been recommended him a few times. How far down the philosophy meme rabbit hole do I need to be for him?

you don't really need to know any philosophy to read him. If anything he's doing poetry in philosophical prose

Aphorisms: Trouble with being born
Longer: Short history of decay
>How far down the philosophy meme rabbit hole do I need to be for him?
Unnecessary. You'll get more out of his occasional "reading journal"-type jests if you're familiar with the thinkers he's referencing, but it's almost marginal stuff.

A professional one.
I'm very poorly read on philosophy and I had no problem at all with Short history of decay. It did take me a long a time to get through but that's mostly because I found it to be most enjoyable if i only read a few pages at a time.

“The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets through many a dark night.”
