Let's play Jeopardy.
The question is: What is 'Hyparxis'?

>> No.15830002

The author tried something and he wrote 400+ pages of incoherent ramblings and called a philosophical foundation for 'the right wing'.
This says a lot about our current society and the brain virus that is 'right wing'. I might be categorized as a feminine (male) postmodern establishment left thinker who is unable to conceptualize the spiritual plane which only masculine thinkers like the author of the book can, but I do think we need to cancel this guy and burn his books. The ideas of this books are essentially the foundation of a new white supremacy and I can see how this book ties in with the current intellectual undercurrent that expresses itself in Kanye West running for presidency.

This is either the Moby Dick of shitposts or some delusional rambling. I truly can't tell. The grandiose title and cover art, the writing for the lay man, the self-referential writing, it all gives way to weird meditations on dickgirls in no time at all. Does the author really think that the average person thinks about dickgirls as a political archetype? I'm in absolute awe.

I agree with the anon of the previous thread that the book should be renamed as 'The Zoomer Diaries', the current title sounds way too serious and really displays that the authors head is far into his own ass.
>THE SYNTHESIS OF THE OBJECTIVE AND THE SUBJECTIVE
Seriously? How does that title reflect what is written, OP takes himself way too seriously and actually thinks he accomplished a profound philosophical breakthrough while also admitting that he's completely ignorant in philosophy. Instead if OP was a bit more self conscious, renaming the book would actually redeem himself. I mean the book itself can be seen as a personal accomplishment for the author but the attitude the author has is just extremely laughable.

You know what? This triggers me, not only because he unironically believes that myers briggs functions are inherently gendered, but even under the assumption that we can use these functions as pure representations of masculinity and femininity, he has proved to be an absolute brainlet in applying them.

Under the strange assumption that these functions are masculine or feminine, it would only make sense to make te masculine and fe feminine. Among the perceiving functions those are definitely the most masculine and feminine, and one person is only supposed to use one of these - te users used fi and fe users use ti.

Te is about planning and doing. The stereotypical shady american venture capitalist is a strong user of this function. Outside of this, Germany is probably one of the best cultural representations of te. The two most common male mbti types, istj and estj, use this function.
Te is definitely not feminine.

Fe, on the other hand, is feminine. Fe is about keeping the peace with other people, it's about empathy and having an emotional connection. They are the people pleasers because doing so pleases them and not because they necessarily need something in return. The two most common mbti types for women are isfj and esfj, both of who use fe.

Honest critique:

#1: do not use abstractions without properly defining them, this causes your writing to be incoherent. It comes across and hare brained and egotistical, bording on schizo word salad at some points. Just be more rigorous and consistent, heavily edit and review what you right so you are certain that you are staying focused and on topic

#2, choose a narrow topic or variety of topics you are highly familiar with, or build up knowledge in a specific domain. You discuss things in an overgeneral sense without discrete examples and specification, this betrays a lack of knowledge on your part.

These 2 problems are the main reason why your work comes across as so cringe. And I'm sorry that anons are ridiculing you so harshly but I hope this is a learning experience for you (if you're reading this)

>> No.15834848

The way he puts "no previous background in philosophy" as a positive in the Amazon description is really laughable. In my experience, any time I've had an "original" philosophical idea, I quickly discover that someone has already written a book or several about it. I think that's largely why genuine philosophy has died out in modern times and leads to this schizo trash i.e. everything good has already been thought of

A sociopath aware they're a sociopath no longer qualifies as a sociopath; no amount of self-reflection can cure the puerile cringe in this book.

If you have the self analysis to identify your behaviour as a problem, then you aren't in the dysfunction range; at that point it becomes choice, thus not compulsive, and thus not a sociopath.

The garbage written in that book is so absent of self awareness, that it has no capacity to 'fix' itself in any shape or form.

I would rather, in this scenario, identify as a sociopath knowing I'm a sociopath, and thus the reflective opportunity to change, than exist in the mire of stupidity that would have me forever relegated to the types of thinking in that book.

As I said, willingly engaging in sociopathic behaviour would be even worse. I'm not saying OP's book can be fixed, but his attitude and way of engaging with the ideas definitely can.

>willingly engaging in sociopathic behaviour would be even worse
Well, as sociopathy is defined by a very broad set of behaviours driven by compulsion that makes it a dysfunction, I think I'm ok with that. Let's take a look at some of these:
>Being callous, cynical and disrespectful of others
>Using charm or wit to manipulate others for personal gain or personal pleasure
>Arrogance, a sense of superiority and being extremely opinionated
>Impulsiveness or failure to plan ahead
And from another source...
>being impulsive or incapable of planning ahead
>being irritable and aggressive
>being consistently irresponsible
Does this make menopausal women sociopaths for being irritable? Does it make everyone that uses glib a sociopath? You see the spectrum of behaviours is huge, so for you to say 'engaging in sociopathic behaviours willingly is bad', is honestly pretty dumb, because I'm quite confident that everyone engages in some form of sociopathic behaviour - we just tend to call it amoral, but even then this depends on the circumstance of its utilisation.

I'm starting to become genuinely curious what would happen ifI'd ever finished my manifesto.
>I believe that the methods of thought which most Americans engage in can be mostly cast along a spectrum ranging from concrete to abstract. The concrete thinker concerns himself with the daily affairs of existence. He wants tasty food, spectacular entertainment, and pleasant company amongst his peers. The abstract thinker is more complex. He wants the best food, whether defined in terms of physical fitness or cultural cachet, he wants to explore his entertainment for thematic implications, he wants his friends to argue against his viewpoints so that he may counter their arguments and demonstrate his intellectual superiority.
>I imagine by now you've decided which group you belong to and therefore decided which group is best. If you're reading essays for fun, you mostly likely consider yourself an abstract thinker. But like I said earlier, it is a spectrum. The concrete thinker does not eschew profound philosophical statements, he just prefers for them to be delivered amongst dragons and spaceships. The abstract thinker can hardly resist the spectacle of a well-choreographed fight scene, but he grows bored if there is no higher purpose behind it. Something greater than one man's physical safety or athletic prestige must be at stake.

This abstract thinker seems to oddly confine his thinking to a narrow spectrum. He wants to explore his entertainment for the thematic implications? Word salad, for one,and utterly meaningless without reflecting on the root of his value system. I'm sure upon reflection he will learn that he thinks in fewer abstractions that first thought.

A narrow spectrum is hardly less constricting than a binary at some point.
