imagine calling molyneux a philosopher holy shit

>flat earthers read Infinite Jest

How do I write like Wallace?

Yeah I'm in the middle of it, which is why I'm complaining. I've already read IJ, and I'm saving Ulysses for last because it's obviously going to be the best one.

Don't regurgitate anon, you actually have to try and engage with ideas that are different than your own. Show you have not only read them, but that you understand them enough to use their work dialectically to advance your thesis. Don't just find relevant quotes to paste in for reference (I've been there done that it doesn't fool (competent) professors).

Weak aesthetics anon.

IJ

The Good Parts:
Orin chapters
Eschaton
Tennis Chapters
The chapter about InterLace being used as a kind of Face-Time device, and people buying simulacra to make themselves look better on InterLace
Michael Pemulis
Anything to do with the PGOAT or Quebecois seperatism

The Bad:
Most of the Endnotes
The Ebonics chapters
Most of the Ennet House chapters
So then but/And but so/So but and being used by different characters

words you find cringe-worthy:

>Meanwhilst
>Inbetwist
>Pointful
>Whenceforth

>he doesn't understand post-sincerity meta-irony

>he doesn't look both ways before speaking

Imagine there's no b8 threads. It isn't hard to do. Nothing to sage or cringe at. And no shitposts too.
