Whats the name of the philosophical era we're living in right now?
Existentialism
proto-socialism
Era?
Well we got some post-analytics and postmodernists floating around at least.
post-post-modern?

Anthropocene
The dark ages.
>>440437
This guy understands.
memetic age
>>440275
The Post-shitpostism era.
>>440440
No, he doesn't.
>>440437
Dark ages weren't really a thing. It was the early middle ages. And we may be going back into the middle ages but we aren't there yet.
>>440446
what do you understand that makes you so sure he does not
>>440275
early stage of transhumanism
>>440481
Nah, that's a long way off. Don't really thinking that is philosophy anyway.
>>440275
I think we are still in the post-modern era and it is going to take some seriously big changes, socially and academically for another era to be considered.
The real question is what is next for pic related?
Hedonism
>>440504
>The real question is what is next for pic related?
memes don't matter anymore, just post gibberish pics so we can have conversations
>>440513
We've been in the Hedonistic era since the beginning of time.
>>440521
Much less in the classical era and during the industrial revolution.
>>440521
Perhaps, but nowadays its certainly hedonism^2. Most people live for the immediate reward, we don't like our jobs, we binge everything we set our hand on, we don't dream anymore, we're disillusioned about everything, we're atheistic, we're scientific, we understand too much of the world for our own good, we're drinking ourselves into oblivion, 1 childless family at a time.
Maybe hedonism is not the right term.
>>440536
Are..are you okay?
>>440542
Yeah, I'm fine man. How about you?
>>440494
>Don't really thinking that is philosophy anyway.
If every aspect of our body is made interchangeabe with a cybernetic mechanical part (heart, lungs, muscles, tisue ... brain), how much are we still human?
>>440504
You know, you really can see the Internet going through cultural shifts like in your pic. I remember when pics like longcat were so ridiculously funny. I think it was because everyone else found them funny too, so it was contagious, because now it's just retarded.
I find myself what will happen when we don't even make memes anymore and move onto something entirely new.
>>440275
Transcendental Post-Cynic Nihilism.
>>440558
>I think it was because everyone else found them funny too, so it was contagious, because now it's just retarded.
but things you don't think are funny and everyone else still does seem even more retarded, right?
>>440558
There is definitely a trend about it, personally I never found any meme that funny, certainly not funny enough to propagate it myself.

>Nah, that's a long way off.
no, we are already in it. but not to the point that normal plebs discuss about it, academical philosophy however does.

>>440583
But these are also things people have been thinking about for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. It could easily be another thousand years before we truly head in that direction.
Especially with how regressive we are becoming.
>>440453
There's more than one dark age though, bruv. The Greek dark ages for example.
>>440617
True, sorry to assume which one you meant.
>>440583
I actually know a guy who does a philosophy PhD on transhumanism, so you could be right

Hey there friend, you might wanna check out this underground film called Fight Club, you seem like the type of person that would gain something from it. Just keep it on the down low ok :p rules 1 and 2 of fight club (you'll understand when you watch it) ;) XD
>>440653
fight club is overrated
>>440653
>the amount of snark it palatable
>>440536
This post is seriously underrated. damn man, you're so right. But don't worry, there is a change happening right now. The people started dreaming again not long ago. It's currently like humanity finally awoke from a centuries slumber.
>>440670
I hope this is bait.
>>440671
Only one way to find out.
>>440671
Stop being pessimistic man. Go outside and look at the peoples faces, seriously (may only work in europe)
>>440676
I'll stop being pessimistic when you stop being corny.

Are you implying that autism was the reason for the Dark Ages?
>>440706
are you implying that I implied that autism implies implicit implications?
>>440723
Yes

all is lost
the end of ages is nigh
There are 7 church eras.
We live in the Laodicean (lukewarm/secular) era.
Post-globalism
>>440536
You are describing post-modernism not hedonism.
That era already pasted it was explored to the fullyest exstent. You just haven't caught up yet. Also spoiler alert, if you are hoping for a return to a religion, it's not going to happen at least not the way you would want it. Religion too was eaten by the post-modern monster.
The Paleolithic
>>440275
Social Justice Era
>>440275
Post-modernism
fedoraism
The mainstream are Neo-Frankfurtist and the counterculture are Neo-Thulean. The battle didn't end with the fall of the German Reich. The globalists just got better at staying clandestine and the nationalists, though weakened, survived in small enclaves.
>>441731
> Neo-Frankfurtist
It would still my autism so insanely much if people adopted this term instead of "Cultural Marxism".
>>440275
Mass shit
>>440504
I believe we are slowly moving into the nonsense era- where memes blur the concept between irony and non-irony, some sort of meta-modernist interpretation of entertainment, where post-irony becomes too conventional and we reach new levels of obscurity as some sort of fringe internet elitism
>>440504
We'll just dive deeper into ever more obscure layers of irony.
Parody.
The geopolitical scene is mocking itself unintentionally and the cycle just keeps spiraling downwards.

Post-post-post modernism
Western culture is at the precipice of the post-modernist conclusion.
There will be an unironic shift back to traditionalism as conceived by right-leaning youth.
Neo-traditionalism?
>>440504
Abstraction
>>440554
Well, that depends on whether or not you consider the form or the object a major component of being human
Is it the body, mind, or a combination of that or other factors that actually make us human?

The Autumn of the West

I think Spurdo is the perfect of example of what your picture describes.
The innocent humour of paedo bear gives way to the absurd, self-mockery of spurdo, who in turn is surpassed by the emotive sincerity of Gondola.

Deeper levels of abtsraction, mutation, intertextuality have occurred and continue to occur. The progression of lol -> lulz -> lel -> kek/jej is but only one of many examples (snowclones). This is what keeps the imageboard at the forefront of memetic content, separating it from the forces of commercialization. Yes, "meme elitism" is a thing. Just like how hipsters bitch about bands, we complain about the loss of control and degradation of our memetic output. But then again, this is the nature of an image macro; its collective origin renders it as public domain immediately unless individual authorship/ownership can be established such as in the case of Matt Furie's Pepe the Frog or Grumpy Cat. I despise sanitized commercial outlets like Know Your Meme, but appreciate their value in trying to establish factual backgrounds for memes.
>>446033
Memes travel out of the imageboards, but rarely do they arrive from another source. The dissemination of memetic content often means an immediate drop in quality as the "other" (Reddit/Tumblr/Facebook et al.) is removed from the source of the meme; the meme loses its precise original definition and context. Sometimes overarching meme concepts are adapted out of convenience such as the proliferation of Impact as the "standard" meme font and the text/image/text structure of Advice Dog and all its offshoots. The rare occurrence of a meme entering the imageboard space can be seen in /pol/'s revival and adoption of Moon Man from YTMND. The hyper-racist burger mascot was long considered a dead meme (or "fad" in their parlance) on the site until /pol/ picked it up out of the blue last year. They probably took a liking to the meme by seeing shades of their apex-racist caricature of Ben Garrison. Moon Man's presence is enhanced and filters out through image macros and songs.
