>Making autists schizophrenic is my cure for boredom
Sounds like a total fabrication borne out of desperation. In other words "just pretending to be retarded."

Here's an age old image with a bit of wisdom in here for ya

>Anon: I would like to understand philosophy of technology
>You: Sure here's a bunch of books by dead germans writing about pre-globalization capitalism and governance over 70 years ago, anarchoprimitivists from 50 years ago, and pre-1980 technophobes
>Anon: Look, maybe some of those are good and should be on a reading list for this, but isn't a list like that sparse on important details, one-sided, dated, and somewhat off-topic?
>You: Lol filtered trololololo!!!

How does it feel being openly retarded on the internet for no reason? You’re an embarrassment to yourself and your parents.

Not him, but you haven't even read anything other than a Wiki article with minimum details and gotten a gist of a very modern reputation from movies (which aren't even about his life, but basically womanizers in general), and you act like you know everything written in that book. I read the first 200 or so pages. While there is a lot of romance, it goes on in more detail about his views, his life, boring things like being in the company of Signor X, Y and Z, speaking from the pulpit as a sermonist, life in Venice and other place, etc. You're an utter retard and just arguing for the sake of arguing because you'd rather chop your dick off than admit you're wrong. You're a cowardly type and I'd threaten you with physical violence in person to watch you shit yourself.

Are there any books on the theory of irony, sincerity. and satire?
Furthermore, how does one handle being stuck between multiple layers of irony and sarcasm in their life in a larger sense due to seeing one's thoughts and actions as fairly insignificant and ultimately worthless?

JOI's movie posters for 'The Joke' which say "You Are Strongly Advised NOT To Shell Out Money to See This Film" which the critics see as an "ironic anti-ad joke" but ironically turn out to be a genuine warning for the quality of the film. The third layer of irony is that the only horrible aspect of this film is that the audience are presented with images of themselves (or of audience culture) which makes them disgusted, and therefore there is nothing inherently bad about the film, it is instead the problem of the audience's predisposition to hate themselves. The skeptical reader will realise a fourth layer of irony: this interpreted depth as a commentary on spectator society is in fact not there at all, and the concept of 'The Joke' is a dumb cliché. That is then complicated by the idea that the movie is a "self-consciously dumb stasis", as in JOI knew that this conception of something this bad was a cliché but did it anyway, as a kind of ironic commentary on itself. The sixth layer of irony is the fact that the movie itself (presenting the audience with a mirror of themselves) is a commentary on self-consciousness, and that is itself so thematically interesting that the movie is sort of brilliant. Then we loop back in the 7th layer as we consider that that the movie's "ironic anti-ad joke" may actually be an ironic joke for one of the best movies ever made. And so on and so forth. There are really infinite layers of irony that JOI is trapped in, each one less distinguishable from the last.
