The entire arts and humanities academia-media-publishing culture is posturing bullshit.
All claims of artistic worth are unfalsifiable. All philosophical claims are unfalsifiable. The Munchhausen trilemma shows that we can never know anything except for our inability to know anything. We can accept shared axioms but obviously anyone can pick different axioms (e.g., "Murder is good").
The Stirner meme is a version of what I have said above but it's only done because pretentious people only bother entertaining ideas that have been mentioned by published people.

Look, there he goes again. Packaging things up and throwing them in to discrete areas like his professor told him to. Yeah, that shows understanding.

>All philosophical claims are unfalsifiable.
Do you actually think about what you type?

That's the first time I've mentioned post-modernism on /lit/. Ironic that you'd complain about branding and disposing of things when your entire post revolves around the belief that all art and philosophy is pretentious and subjective.
The Stirner meme is perfect for 4chan. First it is a cartoon, very weeboo, second it is just a conceited dismissal of everything by and enlightened simpleton (hat optional) who thinks they are profound by parroting "spook" like a swear word, not much different to "cuck".
It gives everyone a weak but unassailable theoretical position to say fuckit let's just doss about and smoke. Look at those losers achieving things, making money, (lol) being happy, (spook) having meaningful relationships (cuck) etc. Poor fools they will never understand like me that everything they do is meaningless.
there he goes conflating meaning and truth again

Did you read Stirner?
>>8273521
yeah but its useful for my ends and i like it so there

If you can't see how these problems extend over the whole sphere of human knowledge, read more.

Translation: they don't donate to my church.
>let's just doss about and smoke.
That's how you'd live without spiritual threats hanging over you? You poor man.
>Look at those losers achieving things, making money, (lol) being happy, (spook)
Dude, what? The pursuit of tangible success is more in line with Stirner's philosophy than with whatever you're selling.

>Stirnerite assumes person who disagrees with him is a Christian
>>8273521
...And? Is there something you intend to do about that? Got a better way of doing things?
Okay, you're disillusioned. Great. Good for you. Who gives a shit?
>>8274360
>weak
>unassailable
Pick one
Can we prohibit stem autists from posting on /lit/?
I swear to god, if tomorrow the word "unfalsifiable" disappeared in a Perechian way, these people would drop dead in a heartbeat.
So what something is "unfalsifiable", you retards? It's not like you can claim anything is completely aprehensible and understandable, not even your precious "natural sciences".
>>8274708
OP here. The space for unfalsifiable thoughts is infinite.
But my whole point is that the academia-media-publishing I complex and its pseudo intellectual hangers on ONLY SHIT ON CERTAIN unfalsifiable thoughts. They claim that they solely have the ability to do this.
