Are you upset at my use of objective? My first statement is obviously true, the second is in line with any reasonable ethical system, and the third follows from the first two.

I never complain about smoking irl since I know doing so wouldn't have any effect. I have friends that smoke and I don't tell them to quit, but if they choose to I encourage them. I cause almost no annoyance to anyone but you and anyone in this thread sharing your opinion. We can agree that the act of smoking is far worse than the act of annoying you.

" Hermann Hesse enjoyed Dostoyevsky's work and cautioned that to read him is like a "glimpse into the havoc" "

" Franz Kafka called Dostoyevsky his "blood-relative" "

" James Joyce praised Dostoyevsky's prose: "... he is the man more than any other who has created modern prose, and intensified it to its present-day pitch. It was his explosive power which shattered the Victorian novel with its simpering maidens and ordered commonplaces; books which were without imagination or violence." "

Absolutely no reason to like one and not the other. Kierkegaard was a big influence in Nietzsche.

I don't smoke cigarettes or drink wine (I do smoke weed and drink cider though), I wear these boots and I've read Crime & Punishment.

Reading popular/influential literature doesn't make you a pseudo-intellectual. There's a reason those books are popular, it's only cringey if you think you're better than anyone else just for reading them.

1.) like and endorse are two different things, 2.) I'm not even sure that's entirely true.
I only see them opposed in that Kierkegaard is a Christian and Nietzsche is vehemently anti. Other than that they have a similar methodology and respect for the passions.

If you're a directionless schlub then ya, it can be depressing. Very simply, a happy existentialist is a lover of freedom.

>>55449716
I think this is actually the main difference between the two:
Kierkegaard thought music was "demonic"
Nietzsche thought that without it, life would be a mistake

>>55447938
is it pronounced CLO-ZER or CLOSE-R?

>>55449753
Maybe, I dunno what either says about music. Either way that's not enough to say that they're completely opposed, that's just one thing that they disagree on, and even that I'm not sure. I've read Kierkegaard talk about the demoniacal before and it doesn't sound like the opposite of something that living would be a mistake without.

>>55450540
They certainly aim for different things. I wouldn't consider Dostoevsky to be a great writer, but the themes of his work are certainly more applicable outside of Russian culture than the work of Pushkin or a lot of others.

I don't drink wine or smoke, but the rest of it is pretty accurate.

Wouldn't you agree that being an edgelord is not about what you read/listen to etc. but how you behave (with respect to that)? Most people who like these books and bands go through the unbearable edge phase, but you can get over that by getting more well read/"listened" - after that you can still appreciate them while not being an autist.

there's a difference between accepting that certain things (like music) may be a part of how people see you and using music to purposefully try to direct or convey a certain image. Basically trying to force an image on yourself, no matter how that may be, is autistic as fuck

>>55451412
> trying to force an image on yourself, no matter how that may be, is autistic as fuck

only if you do it poorly. Everyone has an image and socially successful people know what their's is and empathsize / demphasize aspects of it depending on the situation. And not always in a crass manner either - why would I bore a girl who doesn't even know how to check her oil by blathering on about how much better roller rocker cams are? I'm gonna try and figure out what she enjoys and play to that - thats just how one has a decent conversation for starters
