Do people actually read and enjoy McSweeney's Internet Tendency? This has to be some of the most painfully unfunny shit I've read in my life. Seriously, it's like something only a middle-aged twitter-addicted divorced wine mom would find funny.

Has any political or economic theorist considered the implications of a world where megacorps bigger than most nations exist, while the vast majority of people do janitor work for 2 cents an hour and get subsidized by the government to survive?

Don’t even bother replying, I don’t want you fucks even wasting even more posts in your useless justifications.

The tradcaths are larping
The gnostics are larping
The Guenon muslims are larping
The Evolans are larping
The pagans are larping
The calvinists are larping
Even the atheists are larping
Who isn't larping?

Europeans have given up on philosophy in exchange of intellectual historiography.

Do not let yourself be governed by it,
especially not in uncreative moments. In creative moments try to make use of it as one more means of grasping life. Cleanly used, it too is clean, and one need not be ashamed of it; and if you feel you are getting too familiar with it, if you fear this growing intimacy with it, then turn to great and serious objects, before which it becomes small and helpless. Seek the depth of things: thither irony never descends—and when you come thus close
to the edge of greatness, test out at the same
time whether this ironic attitude springs from a
necessity of your nature. For under the influence of serious things either it will fall from you (if it is something fortuitous), or else it will (if it really innately belongs to you) strengthen into a stern instrument and take its place in the series of tools with which you will have to shape your art. - Rilke Rainer Maria
I think this is an alternative point of view to that of DFW, which now i consider to be simplistic.
Do you have a say in this?

Is an e-reader worth it if:

What does this say about a man?

If human history progresses along a set path, from primitives to feudalism to capitalism to communism, and this 'evolution' is inevitable, what's the point of doing a bloody revolution to bring about a change that is inevitable?

Same goes for crypto-marxist neoliberals who genuinely believe that the triumph of Western ideals such as liberty and democracy are inevitable destinies. If it's going to happen anyway, why fight and kill to make it happen faster?

Wouldn't it be the most morally resonsible thing to just sit home and do nothing? Let time gradually work things out in a slow peaceful way, instead of forcing genocidal social experiments (wars of liberation, revolutions) on people who don't want it?

It just boggles my mind that people who harp on about their brand of politics being the ultimate 'right side of history' fail to see this hypocrisy.

If the world socialist revolution is going to triumph no matter what, why kill millions to make it happen in 10 years? Why not kill nobody and let it happen over a 1000 years naturally, isn't that what a normal non-sociopathic human would do?

Why do you read books?
To have fun?
To tell yourself you're doing something productive?
To appear an intellectual in your mind?

"To live is to cope." - Anon

If you are smart, why aren't you rich?

Hey you. Yes, you.
What's the point of all these reading if you still aren't smart enough to figure out how to get a gf?

How is God revealed in the unfolding of history like many religious people claim? History is totally amoral and is a compendium of meaningless suffering
