Such a pretty girl
i just finished infinite jest for the first time and am both heartbroken and in love with dfw & each character. hal, james, joelle and don stole the show for me. avril's compulsions, mario's innocence, orin... just uggghhh. katherine g's depression & accounts of it, too, were awesome. it was all awesome--the prose, as a philosophical piece, an ideology, etc. anyways ya

dump all arguments and counter-arguments related to the meaning of life or lack thereof. I want to be completely pulled apart by the two arguements
>>8170025
Breed white children and subjugate women and nonwhites
The meaning is to find God and to know him, because he is life - eternal life. The meaning is to do the will of God, to serve God, and to follow his commands. The meaning is to demonstrate the reality of God by obedience to God.
Post /fedoracore/
The fedora meme was pushed here a lot a few years ago. It really belongs to tumblr now, to denote a certain type of (mostly made up) undesirable male who does anything nerdy or has any kind of pretensions or simply has any quality that's disliked by the person using the term. The term means nothing. Fuck off and read some literature instead of posting this vacuous garbage.
>if you like this thing it means you wear an outdated hat which in turn means you're unhygienic and don't believe in God

Stephen King looks like a skeleton. GRRM looks like he is not writing the goddamn book like the lazy fat fuck that he is.
>>8169998
Stephen King dresses like a ten-year old boy
GRRM looks like the manage of a Gamestop
Don't recognize the pedo in the center
Who do you think is the better scribbler, King or Grrm?
Is he worth a read?
I'm not an accustomed reader, especially of philosophical works. Will it be too difficult for me?
>>8169836
he inspired feminism and the SJW movement by his 'muh feels' """""philosophy"""""".
A cultural marxist if ever there was one.
>>8169836
If not accustomed to philosophy, then yes, it will be difficult and not worth your time.

Well, Foucault is an important philosopher, but if you're not an accusomted reader you should choose something less complicatedI don't mean the greeks
Could anyone here recommend some books that can help one overcome misanthropy?
I've never met anyone who I really respected, admired or loved. A minute number of those I've encountered were just OK, while the majority were too heavily flawed to like, and some even difficult to endure. I've never really detested anyone, but I've never loved anyone either. I just feel a vague sense of disappointment or disgust towards the people I meet. It's as if I've been waiting my whole life to find someone who I could truly admire.
Maybe the most...

Why do we never discuss based Quine?
Because no one here has read him.

That doesn't usually stop us.

literally this. Trying to get this cucked continental board to discuss any significant analytic philosophers is like pulling teeth from their roots.
Which religions have the dankest literary traditions?

The bible is cool, but buddhism is the right answer

Eh. Most of it is melodramatic and preachy. Hardly any of it except for Jeebus's speeches are at all poetic. Lots of boring history and dates and times.

You shouldn't post your fb like that, Molly might get Katie'd
desu, I read "How I Live Now" when I was a teenager and enjoyed it. It's strange, I read adult books and YA books at the same time until I was about sixteen or seventeen I guess. I read my first adult books at the age of 11 but at the same time I adored harry potter and wizard books. I got all hot under the collar reading about alien sex and narrowly averted rape but also got amped up over quidditch matches.
tl;dr those are all YA books go for it I guess you don't give...
