Yeah, exactly. You work a meaningless job to buy meaningless objects in a meaningless existence. We've ha everything needed to make a utopia several times over, but never got it; it's gone. Impossible. Anything other than a constant proliferation of meaninglessness is impossible.

Ahh nice. imo the whole postmodernism is a skepticism towards metanarratives keeps popping up online cause it's the most quotable part of wikipedia. Just like how every midwit Deleuze discussion on this board has someone say his writing is impenetrable, then someone says his writings on other philosophers are notable for their clarity. Which is a quotable bit from the SEP entry on Deleuze.

Based. What kind of fucking robotic human wants to reduce their existence down to a series of chemical interactions? In the obscenity of detail that science provides, truth can only ever elude ones grasp.

lmao these fags think you can actually have unmediated knowledge fo what reality is in 2020

The object has always triumphed over the subject. I'm a firm epistemological anti-realist. Most of the things we claim to do are impossible to do in reality. In order to do that we've created an operational double derived from the corpse of the real. Reality has no double, so it cannot be exchanged against itself. In making an operational double we've created an infinitely reproducible model that allows for anything to be exchanged against anything else. Reality cannot be known. Our knowledge of reality is the feeling an amputee has of a phantom limb.

Not to mention that a ton of those writers ask why Marx's ideas failed post ww2 and offer alternatives for the individual rather than the society.
