What are some books defending anti intellectualism apart from this one?

Most of what parades as intellectual is just an apologia for knowledge, a confession of the intellect that wants the universe all for its own sake. Try Nietzsche, he is the "intellectual" anus destroyer par excellence.

Survival of the Fittest is a satire. It's not meant to be taken seriously.

Not true. icycalm is Nietzsche's genius depicted in his Beyond Good and Evil.

I actually take it very seriously. That's why I dominate in everyday life.

Yeah and The Prince is satire too right? Everything I don't like is a satire.

It's annoying when people say this, isn't it? Besides Ragnar, Nietzsche and Machiavelli, I've seen it said about the SCUM Manifesto, the Conspiracy Against the Human Race, Cioran, Orgy of the Will, etc etc. Basically any time that someone who is an obvious non-brainlet writes something uncomfortable, some people have to brush it off as satire. Weird.

But the prince was actually satire.
Read a summary of the history and circumstances behind the book, and you'll understand why.

But that's not how satire works.

The Prince is an amazing work. It's satire.

Survival of the Fittest is a work for manchildren and losers alike. It's satire.

It being satire does not make me either hate or like it. The problem with most of you, is that you are too retarded to think correctly, however.
