/lit/ - Literature

He's just trying to complete the circle of German idealism.

>>10014045
Why is he there?

>>10014045
He doesn't take this thinking to the end. He tries to bestow a divine importance on peace. If the universe is a predestined chamber of energy interacting with itself by a prescribed set of rules then what the fuck does peace even mean?

>>10014070
Cause he wanted to embrace the meaningless nature of this plain of existence

He's sending out mixed messages, simultaneously denying the primacy placed on personality while urging those very personalities to overcome their devotion to "icons." It's harsh scientific realism mixed with nihilism lite and a little bit of fuckery and depression to boot. Don't take it seriously.

Absurdism

*Kills an arab once*

He's on something for sure. Coke?

>>10014104
*Moves a boulder an infinite amount of times*

Jim Carrey seems like he's lashing out due to personal trauma.

He's taking the piss out of them and they're just playing right in to it.

>>10014045
We all just hide behind The Mask, really, and the idea that any of us is some kind of "Bruce Almighty", if you will, is nothing more than a big joke. I met a man recently who claimed to know god, but let me tell you, he's a Liar, Liar! The ways modern thinkers are trying to provide evidence of their own existance are becoming Dumb and Dumber. If someone asked me if I was a half-baked existentialist I would have to say "Yes Man, without a doubt."

>>10014045
Is it far-fetched to believe that he's been exposed to /lit/?

>>10014108
>infinite
>amount of times

Sounds like my man Carrey did a few too many episodes of Rick and Morty.

>>10014470
I'm not talking about time in the sense of duration.

>>10014470
I've just had an idea for a comedy in which Sisyphus attempts to end his suffering through the use of a supertask, yet the attempts to develop a supertask itself becomes another metaphorical boulder

Lame
A smart man would be using his fame to create and subvert icons left and right instead of declaring them meaningless in an interview he wasn't fully prepared to rant in

>>10014494
This. He comes across badly.

>>10014494
He doesn't care about the event being about icons or subverting icons. He didn't even know that's what the event was for until she tells him.

>>10014505
>genuinely believing this

>>10014517
Believing what? If it's about him not knowing what the event was about even if he did know his issue was not with what the event was about.

>>10014494
Agreed. Sounded like he was rambling. His reasons for stating it was meaningless were all circular. I didn't hear him give one good reason. Just a lot of flowery poetic bullshit.

>>10014566

Would you say that his reasons for it being meaningless were, dare I say it, meaningless?

>>10014112
pewdiepie look like him.

>>10014522
Not sure if there is truth to this, but he didn't bring up icons. The hostess did.

>>10014481
Doesn't matter. He's talking about

>muh concept of infinity

He's sperging because you said infinite then said amount

this is what happens when you method act a role as terrence mckenna and start to wake the fuck up

Which books constitute the blackpill canon?

It seems as though he and Norm Macdonald have been talking with each other and their local edgy teenage philosophers. (If you like Norm Macdonald and don't want to like him anymore listen to this)

This is the edgiest, most melodramatic, man child shit I've ever seen

>>10014488
that's actually funny

>>10015661
What's wrong with this? It's just a mild secular asceticism.

>>10014045
Holy...

>>10014045
Sounds like babby's first buddhism.

>>10015661
It's the hosts being retarded. All he said is he is not really interested in having sex anymore and they were jumping down his throat

>>10016809
I've seen people say that on Facebook. But it angers me. I'm a Buddhist and his ideas were so antithetical to Buddhism. Buddhism warns against nihilism as self destructive. And his ideas are foolish, anyone who thinks that way is. Obviously everything is real and happening because here he is to say that dumb shit. Someone should hand him Descartes and tell him to shut the fuck up

>>10016838
>Buddhism warns against nihilism as self destructive.
Isn't Buddhism by design "self-destructing"? Getting rid of the ego, because it causes suffering and all that?
At least that's how a newbie could interpret it, hence babby's first buddhism.

>>10016847
Buddhism isn't about getting rid of the ego, but desire. It's in the form of a lot of precepts by the Buddha that can be dismissed or followed entirely or in between. My personal belief is to not desire anything materialistic or for a bad reason. Buddhism wants to rid desire because once you get you want more or something else. It's endless suffering out of not having. Stoically I appreciate what I have. The ego is good though.

>>10016847

it's self destructing in the sense that non-attachment to certain things, starting at the stage of a stream-entrant, is a way to break free of samsara

>>10016861
You can be attached to things. But it teaches to not give permanent feelings to not permanent things. You can have and enjoy something but understand you could lose it

quickly fellow left geek girl consumers of hollywood culture, defend the culture industry from carrey!
