It's a toss up between him and Sanderspn for me. At least this cuck pretends his work has some meaning to it.

>>14195640
Give me a quick rundown on his metaphysical stance and I'll answer.

I remember his older, like 2012 stuff not being that bad. You know, general libral era obama stuff that wasnt that ideologically impaired. You think he got sweeped up in the zeitgeist afterwards? Really didnt follow him after High school.

>>14195958
Pretty sure he was a pretty confortably a Utilitarian. Remember seeing his philosophy series in high school and it was decent for what it was and gave due consideration to each topic (as much as you can in 10 minutes) as well as respect. Up until the veganism episode where he really didnt try to take both sides.

>utilitarian
Babby’s first metaphysical position

>>14195640
His name was Seth Rich

>>14195640
Nietzsche

>>14196905
Never said he was that nuanced. Havent followed him since. Wouldn't be suprised if he fell for the critical theory meme while still proclaiming utilitarianism tho.

I really remember most of his Philo vids being a good general introduction for children though.

While he was naive, that naive honesty came off in a way that broke that initial barrier that pushes most people away from deeper philosophical thought that doesnt immediately fit into the common world view. IDK it might have been in 2010. I think one of his videos broke me out of my edgy atheism phase by explaining in simple terms the mindset of a different person, by questioning things that most people find a priori. I have to thank Green for that at least.

>>14196839
his brother did the philosophy series though.

>>14195640
Douglas Adams.

>>14196983
oh. Nevermind then. Goes to show how similar they are. I Do at least remember that his book analysis were better than most other short form ones at the time. Was good when I had to write about "themes" and such.

>>14196002
Vonnegut wrote comfy books about being an old man whose world left him behind.
Mother Night and Bluebeard, for example, are distinctly not reddit shit. His short stories are pretty creative and kind of all over the place.
The only real reddit aspects are his antiwar polemics, but anybody would be antiwar if they saw what he did. Cat's Cradle is debatably fedora-tier, but I think it puts religion in an overall positive light, and I credit reading that at around age 15 as the beginning of the end of my edgy atheist phase.

>>14196798
>missing the point this much
its an anti-war book. period

so when are y'all gonna read some Green

I think I'm going to have non-consensual sex with John Green.

Yes, in fact right this moment I have resolved to rape this man. All of my faculties and resources are now going to be put into achieving this end. The way this man controls the contortions of his face elicits a deep, ape-ish urge within me to do extremely violent and sexual damage to him.

If you think about it, how is John Green different from a woman? They are equally timid. Equally frivolous. Equally acquiescent. Equally narcissistic. Equally upset by a combination of words or ideas that do not conform to the status-quo. And no doubt Mr. Green has sucked a penis too--maybe just a silicon one (for now), but nevertheless he has tried it; has been struck with the same sort of 'oh-i'm-so-so-naughty' inclination that seizes all women at some point in their life and with the frenzied tom-tom of feminine sexuality blaring in their head which is only ever empty and only ever filled when the image or implication of a Penis can be grasped in external reality, and just like such a woman has John Green greedily taken hold of the dildo that he secretly keeps in his top drawer (why disguise it further? why, wouldn't he be happy if someone were to discover his little perversion? oh think of how oh so so naughty that would be!) and after taking the full 7.5" of rubber down his throat he is filled with such a thrill such that no expression of his "masculine" sexuality has ever come close to attaining.

Hmm, indeed, the lines between Woman and John Green continue to blur, and my dick continues to rise. Raping him could be ethically and epistemologically justified, both through Utilitarian ethics and Platonic Teleology, but I will not go into that here. Suffice to say that raping John Green would be a net benefit for the world as such, as material entity and conceptual ideal. It would be a rape that would satisfy so many hearts, so many minds, and most importantly my own penis.

I am decided: John Green will be raped within the month. I will devote myself to finding out his residency, his routines, and I will plot and plan my moment of violation meticulously. This is a very real goal I have set, and I shall know neither rest nor mortal satisfaction until it has been attained.

it is physically impossible for me to scroll past that pic without reading in is fucking soii voice in my head. it really bothers me

>>14195640

you cant op

>>14198745
Wasn't this initially made in reference to londonfrog?

>>14196965
His old videos are alright (Can't speak for the new ones since I haven't seen them), and are a great introductory course, especially for young students. They're very basic but do their job, which is already a good indicator of quality.

His books are a utter trash though.
