Yeah it's totally not you, he just posts with the same filenames you use on /lit/, the same obnoxious mannerisms ("OH NO NO NO"), the same misspellings and engrishisms.

Can't believe you're in Sweden. I knew it was somewhere in west/central Europe because you're always ruining the board at hours too early/late for a North American.

>'In hip hop', Simon Reynolds pointed out in a 1996 essay in The Wire magazine,'real' has two meanings. First, it means authentic, uncompromised music that refuses to sell out to the music industry and soften its message for crossover. 'Real' also signifies that the music reflects a 'reality' constituted by late capitalist economic instability, institutionalized racism, and increased surveillance and harassment of youth by the police. 'Real' means the death of the social: it means corporations who respond to increased profits not by raising pay or improving benefits but by .... downsizing (the laying-off the permanent workforce in order to create a floating employment pool of part-time and freelance workers without benefits or job security).

Remind me where Lil Nas X delves into downsizing, Marky Mark

Review of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" (1891)
>The format was original for its time: a mixture of philosophical meditation, allegorical fiction, poetry and (for lack of a better word) prophetic rambling. The protagonist is Zarathustra/ Zoroaster (presumably the prophet of the ancient Iranian religion, but possibly just someone whose name happens to be Zarathustra, because this character shows little respect for traditional moral values, including the very Zoroastrian concept of good and evil fighting a cosmic battle).

>In general the book is annoyingly vague and pretentious while containing precious little meaning. We never learn what the Superman is or does. We never learn what is the thing that died and that Nietzsche calls "god" (my feeling is that he is simply referring to traditional morality and the traditional way of life in the Christian world). We never learn what kind of morality should come next.

>I have rarely been so utterly bored reading a book. I think that Nietzsche had nothing to say and, in fact, didn't say it.

Guess I'm proof against that

>literally one real example is all it takes to kill the idea that external influence is theoretically perfectly predictable.
THEORETICALLY, it is perfectly predictable if we were able to somehow track the decillions of minute changes in atoms, and the changes by invisible forces on those atoms. But that is impossible, because we will never find all of these nearly invisible local forces acting on a quantum level.
>and you've already dropped the idea that dna predetermines all future chemical reactions in your brain
No I haven't, I said he simplified my argument so it only meant that I think that, totally taking the whole external influence part of my argument out of the question.
>or at least you didn't offer a rebuttal to that anon
He never had an argument. He explained why he wrote what he did (lol at him thinking his search for meaning is unprovoked by external influence), then he mocked me after simplifying my argument.
>awaiting your succulent response
Here it is.

>is the depiction of the horror of attaining adulthood
I find it hilarious when people think being an adult is a sufficient thing to whine about. They are trying to make people feel sorry for them so they can justify blaming their inabilities and faults on being a fucking adult. The funny thing is they achieve the exact opposite, and it is immediately obvious how pathetic they are, and what stupid shit they are willing to blame that "pathetic" nature on. Poetic justice.

I am sorry to tell you this, but if you argue with dumb people it is because you are also dumb as well.

Either you're advocating for your own ideology or you're just a moron. Hence, subjectivity. So, which is it?
