Do you actually desire a girl? Depressed people don't genuinely want things.

I am a sad person. But over the years I've come to realize my internal remonstrations, the voice that says this is wrong, what is - is not what should be, that he is a liar. Complicit in my misery. I satisfy myself with these inklings of rebellion, I say thus I am not consumed by my sadness, a sort of due diligence, a proof of concept, of hope itself. This keeps me enthralled evermore.

I love nothing and no-one, least of all myself. The very heart of me does not protest. All else? Posturing, a crafty trick I play on myself. When you come to realize the cleverness of man, the true possibility and debasement of cognitive dissonance, you come to know your own will. And maybe find some comfort. It feels like sinking, placidness fills your body and spreads like cold through your veins. Then there is peace. What follows is nothing to you, having forfeited yourself to yourself.

>So what is true anon? How is determinism false?
Determinism is self defeating hocus-pocus non-sense. By definition to subscribe to It has no consequences, changes nothing -- change is impossible there is only iterative progress. And on top of that is is full of absurd hubris, you're an observer who can observe themselves with certainty? I don't say it's wrong, only meaningless and not in need of refuting.

Peterson dismantled him and all of his postmodern ideology in his own podcast

ok faggots, why don't you finally define post-modernism for us, because by his own definition, Peterson is definitely not a post-modernist.

If someone like Jordan Peterson can invoke Nietzsche's name in defense of his brand of reactionary Christian conservatism, and not be shot down as a farcical fool, rather lauded as some kind intellectual hero of the times, doesn't it in fact prove the feebleness of proof itself? What Nietzsche objectively said or believed doesn't matter when such monstrous digressions, conflations, and contradictions are readily accepted and celebrated.

The nihilists have won.

You don't need to know anything to be an intellectual thanks to post modernism, it's super fucking convenient.

Highest here meaning what? Superior in terms of worth or influence? Frankly I've doubts about either.
