I love that some random normies are making you feel genuinely annoyed about the fact that they have now heard about Cioran too.
Like it even matters you idiot pseud.
Also the fact that you are getting riled over hipster stock options on a namedrop is even more amusing when you consider the philosophical view of the writer it's regarding.
What a fuckin meme generation.
Cioran is the normiest philosopher.
Soccer-mom read him.

My mommy reads Derrida :>]
>>9619129

Shouldn't we be celebrating the fact that lots of these pop philosopher kiddos will become depressed and genuine philosophers if they pick up any of his works due to this vid?

The gatekeeping is real
>>9619339
who are you quoting?
>>9619351
The collective semiconsciousness of gestalt mind of /lit/.
Emil Cioran didn't even do philosophy. A second rate Genet/Drieu La Rochelle basically a second rate decadent.

Whatever this is can't have anything interesting to say about him

And you are right. Al those 5 minutes videos about complex stuff are clearly made with smartphone addicted 15 year olds in mind. And made by Wikipedia intellectuals.

Where would you suggest starting with Cioran?

I'd love it if more "normal" people took up reading philosophy. But the vast majority of the people who watch these videos aren't going to pick up a philosophy book anytime soon when they can watch a 6-minute video that summarizes, in their minds, hundreds of pages. That's the problem with these fucking pseudo-science and especially pseudo-philosophy videos. They don't inspire a real interest in the fields. If they did, the videos would no longer be watched because people would be consuming the actual material and would have no need for a generalized, over-simplified primer. Their interest remains in the reduced over-arching points. It's not real philosophy. The framing of the argument and everything leading up to the conclusion are as essential as the conclusion itself. It's about teaching a way of thinking and following the process.
These videos are like twinkies or processed food of that ilk. Can taste good in a cheap, artificial way, but ultimately lack any real nutrients or complexity of flavor.

>Cioran was a silly prankster just trying to say you're not alone dude ;)

What they should really do is a video on Ligotti.
