>lists parts of parerga as separate suggestions

Is it bad writing if something random happens? Like a character is driving somewhere but he's delayed by a golf ball hitting his car and him staying to deal with this matter and because he's late things move along differently from what would've happened if he had been on time.

That math doesn't seems to add up.

But that's the opposite of what he asked for.

It was freaky reading this until I realised what was going on, because I knew from the first part that it wasn't a copypasta but everything after that seemed so familiar.

Well okay.. but no usury and no pornography

>man with enormous forehead claims every important and worthwhile person has an enormous forehead

Are you making up Russian authors with fake Russian names again? You've been told to stop doing this several times

no
>Electricity is the purpose of the form from which it emancipates itself, it is the form that is just about to overcome its own indifference; for, electricity is the immediate emergence, or the actuality just emerging, from the proximity of the form, and still determined by it - not yet the dissolution, however, of the form itself, but rather the more superficial process by which the differences desert the form which, however, they still retain, as their condition, having not yet grown into independence of and through them.'
>Hegel, Philosophy of Nature, 1817

Things writing can't do; romance, slapstick comedy, action.

It's primitive and fruitless to try to replicate those through text.

>if everyone was moral the state would be unnecessary
The premise is extremely vague. You just say "let X be an ethical system that will render the state unnecessary", but you don't say anything concrete about X. You (deliberately?) left it vague, which makes your argument impossible to discuss further, and irrefutable by design.

I don't think that's your room. I think this is an old 4chan meme picture-the odd juxtaposition of the Justin Bieber low-culture movies and a "heavy" high-culture thick book is the very stuff of classic 4chan memes. I don't believe that you've read the book at all!

I don't think you could even describe some of the stuff that happens in the book.

Are you guys memeing me here? Seriously? Is there any value in these modern philosophers? Have any of them outwisdomed Plato or Aristotle, say, by proving them to be wrong in their assertions? I haven't read them, but I looked up some of their quotations just now to get a feel for them and my God was I assaulted just by doing so. I don't trust postmodernists nor their followers, and doubt there is anything in these philosophers and their movements but the charlatanry which Nietzche made popular, wherein pseudo-poetics and laughably-bad "metaphysics" gets labelled "philosophy".

Don't meme me, here. Tell me the truth, are you guys pseuds? Do you, or do you not, know what Beauty is? If you do not, you shouldn't waste your time in "modern philosophy".

But seriously, are these guys of any value at all, have they answered any fundamental questions, or is it merely a circus of sophistry?

Any anons that are not indoctrinated into the "cult of looking smart", please give me your take, since the rest, who see philosophy as something trendy and nothing more, I cannot trust.
