It needed a heavy dose of Diogenes, really.

DFW hung himself because he knew BEE was really right. Humans have always been shitty and always will be.

If Hegel was a baker you could have some of Hegel's bagels.

If only I knew I could win every argument by dismissing whoever disagrees with me as a 'windbag'.

Think of all the money I'd save.

I hate books. I can't wait for e-readers to become ubiquitous and for the libraries to be burned to the ground.

>i have no reason to trust any one source or opinion over another and therefore have no intellectual right to form political opinions

I don't see how the conclusion is supposed to follow from the premises here. Even if you assess different sources equally, I presume you have some sort of values that means that you can't agree equally with all opinions at once? And even then, it wouldn't mean you had 'no right' to form opinions. Who ever said we needed a 'right' to have political views?

It's a plausible view, but almost ridiculously restrictive, in my opinion. I'm no fan of scepticism for its own sake.

I'd go for Gravity's Rainbow, but that's my bias. Although Pale Fire and Ulysses are also top notch.

What did you think of Crying of Lot 49?
