How's the necrophilia going, Justin?

>>14909007
No one cares about accfags, trannies or ancaps.
Stop posting this zionist shill.

Flawed premise. Deleuze was not based.

lel, he starts crying at 22:00 wtf

>>14909007
Thanks. The first guy/interviewer sounds like a faggot, but I'll try to get through it anyway.

>>14909096
How can people who worship technology be so shit at the internet?

Imagine how based it's be to punch all these fags in the face, and then when they try to punch you back they break their wrists.

>>14909141
They may be autistic faggots, but they do something. I mean talk down on people when just sitting at home doing nothing. I'd rather learn bullshit than just rot away.

>>14909128 here
It's actually pretty good so far.

I love him so much lads.

>>14909117

He's been through a lot, and can empathize with the plight of others.

He sounds like Peter, ahm, Thiel.

thx

Me explaining Curtis Yarvin to my gf, "okay you know how you told me I'm an 'opinion guy'? Yarvin is basically the Michael Jordan of us. He regularly has opinions that are more interesting than the most interesting opinion one of us might have in a lifetime."

>>14909018
Good thing the thread isn't about any of that
>>14909117
He must emphasize a lot with the story, having communist grandparents like that. Imagine having your family taken from you and having all your friends turn on you at the same time, offering zero support. God I hate communists, they are the most vicious people on earth. I visited reddit once to see what communists talk about because we don't have commie communities like that on 4chan and I found a thread where some parents gave their son (who was not a communist) a Soviet Union themed birthday cake and made their son cry. Zero sympathy for the kid, he's totally dehumanized and ostracized for his still-developing politics, not even allowed to enjoy his own birthday. I bet that kid grew up to be the most bitter Nazi imaginable
>>14909128
I don't like Justin either. He keeps interjecting with stuff like "based" and I think the word has fried his brain. I know that feeling, latching onto a word for a month to a year and thinking of it constantly but you need to resist that type of thing man, it's trendy lazy filler language. He also seems to fetishize being transgressive which Ironically is totally at odds with some of Moldbug's writing against political freedom lol. (with his approval of undemocratic Singaporean political processes)
>>14914553
How dare you post youtube comments in this most sacred of places?

>>14913881
It's so funny the hysterical lefty trannies being caught in a catch 22 : Yarvin is Hitler and a Jew at the same time

>>14914579
lmao go back toreddit

>>14909117
lmaooo Based Soviet Union is making fascist söyfaggots cry in 2020

>>14914629
why?

>>14914579
meh, I think based is a based word. It's generally not overused.

>Me explaining Curtis Yarvin to my gf, "okay you know how you told me I'm an 'opinion guy'? Yarvin is basically the Michael Jordan of us. He regularly has opinions that are more interesting than the most interesting opinion one of us might have in a lifetime."

>>14914720
It's overused by some people, but that isn't precisely why it's wrong
It's wrong for it to be overused because it acts as a generic filler word that makes language (and thoughts by extension I'd think) hazy and imprecise.
It's like when Moldbug relentingly says "Jefferson was cringe", but what he means, as he previously explained, was "Jefferson was a Jacobin fanboy edgelord". I hate these words because they can mean many different things in the same context. It's probably just my mathematical background compelling me to project a sort of Hobbesean autism towards definitions. Oh god autism is one of those words too isn't it
tldr; based is cringe, cringe is also cringe, cringe is autism and autism is cringe. But autism isn't based because cringe isn't cringe

>>14914783
You guys should break up

Listen to these soi faggots.

>>14909007
I listened to the whole thing and it was good. It wasn't hard to follow along, a normie friendly show for the whole family.

>>14914783
You're a faggot and your gf isn't a virgin.

>>14914794
>It's probably just my mathematical background compelling me to project a sort of Hobbesean autism towards definitions.
I also happen to have a PhD and love to dive deep into categorical logic, but I'll stick with based being based nonetheless.

I'm so happy he's back, boys

>>14909007
this is fucking unlistenable. neither of them can speak for shit

and how many more times do we need to hear Moldbug reiterate his basic ideas. He hasn't even come up with anything new since like 2008

>>14909007
disagreeable physiognomy

>>14915306
same
>>14915704
based on this talk Moldbug regrets having any ideas in the first place, and would prefer operating in a purely deconstructive sense. It seems like this frustrates a lot of readers, who want answers and plans.
Although speaking of new ideas this relates to his concept of thymotic anthems and pistoic functions in his recent essays. These political tools that are used to make movements successful, but Moldbug's antidemocratic position is understood as antipolitical, so he deliberately avoids such techniques in favor of pursuing an approach with strictly academic or philosophical appeal. You get more of a political bent to his earlier writings where his "ideas", or positive proposals come from.
Basically, you are a political addict who is complaining about his withdrawal symptoms

>>14915804
Moldbug's new handful of essays say nothing new whatsoever from his 07-09 output.
>Moldbug's antidemocratic position is understood as antipolitical, so he deliberately avoids such techniques in favor of pursuing an approach with strictly academic or philosophical appeal.
He said this multiple times back then, this is not some new concept.

My post didn't even contain the word 'politics', you just created a strawman and then attacked it.

>>14909007
why does he vape so much around his wife?

Do something useful and hook me up with so-called "real history" books.

> fawning over e-celebs
> engaging in any way with "muh dark enlightenment"
> unironically reading something called "Based Deleuze"

>>14915983

>>14909007
That chin
Oh no no no no

>>14915818
I was simply considering the desire for "coming up with ideas" to be equivalent to "coming up with pistoic formulae" and running from there. I'd say Moldbug in his new work has been deconstructing the same ideas but in a new ways, like with pervasive error and such, attacking from different angles. In other words it's all negative proposals, and I'd thought perhaps if you didn't have a strong preference for positive ones, you might be more inclined to characterize his writing as new.
Of course there's also simply not very much of his new writing to begin with, but I appreciate it as a sort of condensation and reformulation of the gentle intro and open letter so far. Eventually it'll be better than the open letter I think for addressing three separate groups as opposed to just progressives. Open letter was more specific examples to change your worldview, while clear pill part 2 is more outlining the reasons it's likely the worldview is wrong in general...
I guess what I'm saying is. it's a reiteration but also an update to UR
>>14915983
I've been reading Albion's seed recently. It's pretty fun and relates quite a bit to Moldbug's cladistic exploration of modern thought but not something he's ever talked about. Did you know a man was once fined for being overheard referring to his wife as his servant in puritan Massachusetts, or how practically nothing in Massachusetts bar Charlestown was named after the royal family? Lots of fun stuff like that, looking at different regional American cultures

>>14909007
>a literal shill thread
Fuck off. The minimum amount of effort required to make this thread permissible would have been a youtube link or something to that effect. You have failed and should die with your thread, you nigger faggot retard nigger.

>he actually starts crying
How the fuck does he not kill himself? He lives in fucking SF. Especially now.

Or your just a faggot?

>>14914783
nice post

truly, nothing demonstrates the righteousness of killing communists like when they allow themselves to be honest and smile about the murder of infant children
>>14914635

>>14909117
That was just the sound of him attaining Dark Enlightenment

>>14918117

>>14918131
its obviously not him. moldbug is like late 40s. that video quality is 2013+ tier

>>14918131
there are some excerpts in his blog mentioning he has an asian wife and a daughter, i´m pretty sure its him, he has also weak chin, dark glasses, etc....

>>14918129
moldbug doesn't have an asian wife

>>14918131
It's not, it's some pro-gamer.

>>14918152

no shit its the ultimate cope.

>>14909007
I hate how Justin Murphy tries to shoehorn everything into his stupid little narrative about being a 'cancelled' thinker. He often gets in contact with interesting people but it's embarrassing to hear him ask questions about the culture wars or whatever.

>>14909859
no he doesnt

>>14917900
fuck you

>>14914794
It's the equivalent of the reddit upvote, a signifier of approval when one is too lazy to explain precisely why. It's part of the broader spectrum of unfunny memes and norms whose only purpose is to degenerate conversation. I'd say even reaction images are better because at least they're funny. Based and cringe are unfunny and incredibly stale, take no imagination to use, along with the reasons you mentioned. Greentext is also bad because it caters to short attention spans, irony is stale, etc, etc. List goes on. I hate the internet.

>>14921511
