If he were a character in a play or novel you guys would be talking about him here a lot.
Not saying that his life philosophy is profound, new, or revolutionary, but his lines are certainly quite interesting. There are some metaphors and modern prose poetry on them that are of great quality, and he has some agglutination of diverse characteristics (severe and Spartan lifestyle/drunkenness drug abuse; disdain for humanity and life/desire to protect and help victims; moments of calm reflection and silence/wild bursts of violence and energy) that makes him quite complex.

Ok.

What I hated about true detective was how it seems miles deep to the illiterate but it's actually baby's first nihilism lol

So I ask my RE teacher what his opinion is on Nietzsche is because he won't know who Max Stirner is then he says he doesn't agree with him but knows he's important then says that the nazis used the Ubermensch (no umlaut for me) to do some shit....
True? and if so how?

Jesus, that place is fucked beyond belief, but you are more of a pleb for linking that fucking cancer over here.
>Thus Spoke Zarathurstra for me. Was interested in philosophy but man, that is rough to start at.
i'm glad you guys are laughing, it depressed the hell out of me knowing 90% of the people i know or meet everyday who cite reading as a hobby are like this.
it's as if they want me to be some sort of snob for reading "serious literature" without complaint when i just want someone else of a similar standard to talk to.
things can get discouraging.
So the regular car reviews guy just started talking about this in his PT Cruiser review.
It starts at 9:08

Is what he's saying at all accurate. Is the disagreement about truth through work and truth which is immediate?
>>8293559
wut is this?
It's kind of a polemical pastiche of various ethical and aesthetic aspects of some arguably core conceptions of postmodernism. He's just diagnosing the design mentality, I think, as a kind of postmodern self-aware cynicism and malaise about putting in exceptional effort or trying to create something truly "new." He gets his polemical point across about that, but I wouldn't cite the foregoing synopsis on an art history essay or anything.

You're literally just bullshitting.

What's the difference?
Is there a way to block out every single sound in your environment when you're reading? Maybe sound isolating ear muffs? That's really the only thing I can imagine working. I want to totally block out every single sound around me, because I get very distracted.
You will never block out the internal sound
Wearing yhose would only make your breathing even more distracting
>>8293469
There's children and construction outside of my house all the time. I would much rather hear monotonous, repetitive sounds that come from my own breathing and pulse than the shreaks of my neighbor's children.
I use cheap sound-isolating earmuffs, and I love them. To block out virtually everything, you'll have to pay more, but I usually put on my regular headphones underneath the muffs and turn on some white noise.
I don't hear myself breathing with them on. I don't see how you would unless you huff like a Neanderthal.
Who are the Aurorals ?

What works best describe the ongoing white genocide?
I've already read Das Kapital
White genocide is literally peak perceived victimhood. You are a professional victim and self-centrist if you believe it exists.
I say this as someone who is white as snow.
You should probably just read Gene Wolfe ir Legend of the Elementals or whatever the post-ironic irony losers read these days

mite want 2 go 2 the doctor dude, that aint healthy
why do people here blame one person for all the corncob tortillas YeCarthy hate?
Because it is mostly one person. A few have jumped on the memewagon as well, but largely it is just one very autistic bald maf
>>8293430
Because he's trying to force a shit meme to discredit a very good author.
If you rate bloom as a literary critic, then take a look at what he had to say about Blood Meridian.
>>8293440
but I remember people talking shit about tortillas before that video
What is so hard about reading Catch-22?
>>8293413
something about it really winds people up the wrong way. i don't know how they drop it either, but it is one of the more common love it or hate it entry level books.
It's an extremely popular book that is kind of long, so you get people who don't read picking it up and quickly remembering that they don't have the patience to read.
>>8293413
It's long and not linear. It's a popular book so people that don't read often might try it because they've heard of it.
This combo leads to people dropping it.
It's actually not a very difficult read though.
