Very good idea Tbh, never realized how much of a low IQ pseud I am before attempting to engage seriously with them. I have completely stopped reading philosophy and have gone over to only studying math and physics until I am ready.

This is typical of someone who brags about their IQ

>Go to r/books
>Open "What have been the most important books in your life?" thread
>3 of 13 responses are Harry Potter

Ghosts can't exist because the idea of a corporeal incorporeality is a contradiction. You are using the logical law of non-contradiction here
>The highest form of knowledge is one where there is no distinction between knowledge and the subject of knowledge itself; this is impossible with logic as logic involves cognition about a subject
in order to undermine logic itself, which is a performative contradiction.

I don't think science is the end all either, and I detest deterministic believers in scientism; they smack of a secular Calvinism. But to say that ghosts can exist anywhere other than in the mind is foolish; it's like saying a sailboat could hypothetically go against a current with no wind or any other sort of force carrying it in that direction. It's thinkable, true, but it will never happen. As Kant says, it's idle imagination rather than understanding.

>"He who cannot command himself should obey."
>Literally cannot stop himself from eating six and a half pounds of fruit daily

Ohh you ugly incels have it easy. I'm quite charming and attractive so I have no problems getting girls interested in me but I always have to reject their advances. For you se upon me a much worse curse than a deformed face or an obese body has been cast, the curse of cuming whithin 5 second of sex. If I can even make it out of the foreplay.

Artistic awards have always been a joke; no one "deserves" a nobel, just like no one "deserves" the Palme d'Or. Even the lowliest of patricians recognize this:
>On the other hand I am never happy, when anyone talks with me about FESTIVALS and I am especially sorry, that "JUNGFRUKÄLLAN" is going to be shown at the Festival of Cannes. I am afraid and I have a certain feeling about unpleasant surprises as "JUNGFRUKÄLLAN" together with "SOMMARLEK" is that one of my pictures I love most.

>I would have liked very much to talk about Mr. Sjöström in connection with the performance of his films, if it hadn't been in Cannes. But I hate that place of meat market and mental humiliation.

>At a festival you can really dispair of the motion picture as an art.

-Bergman, 1960

Is he, dare say it, /OurGuy/?

He can't keep getting away with it! Fucking pretentious hack. Muh profound thoughts about the universe as I'm a kid riding a bike in the 50s. Fuck you.

Hey girl, wanna see my canon?

Also, his stuff is just genre fiction. He has never, and will never write literature.

The title doesn't sell teh book, the celebrity does. Gotta grab their attention in airports.
