/lit/ - Literature

>tfw as a young intellectual you have to get through 2,500 years of philosophy, history, art and literature within 5 years to formulate a coherent vision for your generation before you get too old and someone else takes your spot and becomes the leader of a movement

how am I supposed to read and absorb D&G in full within the next few years if only now have I finished the theoretical primer on all of philosophy, history etc. and that took me 2 years. and I can't formulate my vision if i'm a pseud who didnt read everything there is to read

Ceci n'est pas une réalité

Honestly, why did he hate Disneyland so much?

What are some real-life examples of his thesis that are not Disneyland?

He made some good points desu

the only based leftist

>Kant’s great discovery—but one that he never admitted to—was that apodictic reason is incompatible with knowledge. Such reason must be ‘transcendental’. This is a word that has been propagated with enthusiasm, but only because Kant simultaneously provided a method of misreading it. To be transcendental is to be ‘free’ of reality. This is surely the most elegant euphemism in the history of Western philosophy.

>The critical philosophy exposes the ‘truths of reason’ as fictions, but cunning ones, for they can never be exposed. They are ‘big lies’ to the scale of infinity; stories about an irreal world beyond all possibility of sensation, one which is absolutely incapable of entering into material communication with the human nervous system, however indirectly, a separated realm, a divine kingdom. This is the ghost landscape of metaphysics, crowded with divinities, souls, agents, perdurant subjectivities, entities with a zero potentiality for triggering excitations, and then the whole gothic confessional of guilt, responsibility, moral judgement, punishments and rewards…the sprawling priestly apparatus of psychological manipulation and subterranean power. The only problem for the metaphysicians is that this web of gloomy fictions is unco-ordinated, and comes into conflict with itself. Once the fervent irrationalism of inquisition and the stake begins to crumble, and the dogmatic authority of the church weakens to the point that it can no
longer wholly constrain philosophy within the mould of theology, violent disputes—antinomies—begin to flourish. Due to the ‘internecine strife of the metaphysicians’ polyglot forces begin to be sucked into conflict, at first mobilized against particular systems of reason, fighting under the banner of another. But eventually a more generalized antagonism begins to emerge, various elements begin to throw off the authority of metaphysics as such, scepticism spreads, and the nomads begin to drift back,
with renewed élan.

What is his deal?

dude wtf is pataphysics?

How does he feel about the things he's describing like hyperreality and simulation. he seems to think the ship has sailed as far as fixing it and that the conditions under which we live bring about ecstasy, but that's not the same as him being ecstatic about these developments himself. Is he, like Nick Land, actually rooting for what's happening or is he, without explicitly saying it, being a doomer about it, sort of like Debord?
Also where do I start with him? Who do I need to read before getting him?

DUDE DISNEYLAND LMAO

HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS

How did Baudrillard, a literal 60 year old silentoomer, manage to grasp the ever-changing contemporary modern (hyper)reality around him with such freshness and agility of mind?

And why did you delete this thread you stupid fucking jannie? Fuck off. Commit suicide. Do it. Do it for free.
