It actually did. If you are knowledgeable enough you can swoon women by talking about literature. Most of them are so ignorant they will think anything you say is intelligent as long as you are talking about a book/author.

I read books at work. This girl started wanting to "get to know me". I basically just talked about the nuances in Don Quixote and the struggles of translating some of this into English. After that she said we should "hang out". I fucked her soon after that. She literally went out to a book store and bought a bunch of philosophy books to impress me. She asked me what I thought of her purchases. I told her I hate philosophy and didn't really care for what she bought. We banged that night.

Yes but the interest it has generated has also been responsible for some bad relationship choices. When people find something interesting, I used to mistakenly assume it meant they're interested in it themselves and have made/will make efforts to explore it themselves. When it's more often they like the idea of being interested in something and want the appearance and credit for that interest but don't find the process of developing it at all enjoyable.

And then at a certain point - since these are people who regard themselves as intelligent only because they want to be interested in 'intellectual' things - they become self-conscious about their own ignorance relative to someone who knows anything more than them. And this leads to several levels of relationship issues.

This is no longer true for the financial flows and international speculation that far surpass the laws of the market. Can we still speak of capital when faced with an exponential strategy that pushes capital beyond its limits in a whirlwind of exchanges where it loses its very essence and is

dispersed in an unbridled circulation that brings che very concept of exchange to an end?
Having lost its rational principle, the principle of value, exchange becomes total just as reality, having lost its reality principle, becomes total reality. h may be the fatal destination of capital to go to che end of exchange-toward a total consumption ofreality. In any case, we are bound for this gen eralized exchange, this frenetic communication and information that is the sign of hegemony.
The dimension of hegemony is different from that of capital and different from the dimension of power in its strictly political definition. It is no longer a question of political power tied to a his cory and a form of representation. Representation icself has lost its principle and the democratic illusion is complete. Not through the violation of rights but through the simulation of values and che derealization of all reality.

Classic status mismatch. He's obviously from some background where even having heard of Camus is high status (prob 1st gen college graduate, hence his picture) while she's from one where (at least pretending to) know all about such things is the bare minimum to hang

Tl;dr guy tries to impress extremely online girl with knowledge that impresses others in his own environment but leaves those in hers cold, "look at this cognitive peasant, he thinks hes people" is bad form so the thing is recast in woke light to eliminate risk of looking elitist

You say, as though the economic alternative proposed by leftists will manifest itself in a sustainable way even though global capital opposes it, even in regions where communism is the proclaimed state ideology.
The vast majority of electorally ‘viable’ positions left wingers hold are standard social democrat stances. Stances which are being rotten away in Europe, where socdem foundations are being replaced by (fiscal) liberalization.

Many realize that the economic alternative you mention are, at this point, a pipe dream (good luck starting a revolution in western nations with militarized governance), no matter how many zer0 books you read. Leftism has itself, in practice, devolved into ‘an endless culture war’.

This is a valid critique of my positions. Indeed, I recognise the challenges of holding revolutionary outlooks, and much of what you describe (there being no "horizon" beyond capital, if you will) is outlined in detail in Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism (haha at the zer0 books reference). As silly as it sounds, I believe that despite this, one has to hold an optimistic outlook and actively seek out fissures in the system; indications of a future beyond the horizon. Because the alternative is to sink into nihilism, and this is why I think that the far-right is much worse. The far-right, by not even paying lip service to an economic alternative let alone truly believing in one, implicitly capitulates to the loss of a future and loses itself in a miasma of nihilism. But I contend that the USSR was once seen as inevitable and it collapsed in a week; the great monarchies of Europe were seen as impenetrable before they fell one after another in the space of a few years. History teaches us that what seems endless is often far from it.

>Academia can't make someone more intelligent
I disagree, the whole point of academia was to teach people fundamental skills that will help them improve their thinking. The main skills are reading, writing, speaking and listening. With those four refined, you can pretty much learn anything and thereby increase your intelligence. But they don't really teach that anymore. Instead of showing people HOW to think, they just teach them WHAT to think. That turn in academia was enough to kill it. There are of course small groups of professors who are still good, but overall it's garbage. It seems to function mainly as a propaganda center for the neoliberal bourgeois elite. They won't dare teach anything deeply or seriously because their hollowness will be exposed. Hence why OP's pic related seems to think the French existentialists are super obscure; she received only a very shallow education. It's actually quite sad.

Yes, on dating apps I mostly ended up with the sorts of girls who have twitter accounts where they type all in lower-case and pretend to read Hegel.

They are generally very stupid. I embarrassed myself with more than a few girls in hindsight because I actually wanted to talk about our mutual interest in "read theory" type subjects. It was almost as if they were saying "why are you continuing to talk about this, even though I've already let you get to the date stage? We're supposed to talk about food and 'what you do for fun', now." But I figured if I'm on a date with someone who claims to be big time into Derrida, won't shut the fuck up about Derrida, and all of our initial cringe banter was about mutual interest in Derrida, she's going to want to talk about something related to Derrida at least a little bit.

I don't know if you guys have this experience too, but you know that thing where a woman talks a big game about her interests and pretends to be edgy and self-assured, until the moment she decides you've passed her tests and you're "in," and then she immediately becomes passive and submissive, almost like she wants you to condescend to her? Like she's saying "congratulations I don't really read Deleuze, you can now talk down to me because you do." I don't understand that. I guess I'm a fag but I don't want to spend 4 hours with a blustery retard whose interest in things is only a temporary front for finding a guy to talk down to her.

The only girls who actually knew about the things they claimed to be interested in were the Marxists with huge jugs. Small titty Marxists were invariably fake, boring skinny bitches who just wanted clout. In my experience, a woman oblivious to her jugs is usually a woman autistic enough to learn something for its own sake and not because twitter told her to.

All of this wants me to commit sudoku, but then again a relationship between a man and a woman is not about mutual interests, it's about compatibility .

Namedropping the Neoplatonists got me laid once
Not even explaining what they believed, just vaguely mentioning Plotinus and Proclus (at that point, I didn't even know who Iamblichus was)

My freshmen year of college, I went on a school trip to Florence. On about the second or third day, they took us to see David at the Galleria dell'Accademia. Once our tour ended, they let us saunter around for an hour or so. In that time, I had taken a seat next to the statue and pulled out a book I had brought with me. Then this beautiful girl I’d been eyeing approached me and sat beside me. We remarked on David’s physique and joked around for a little and then she gestured toward my book and asked me what I was reading. I told her Big Sur, and she laughed because incidentally, her uncle had once worked with the Kerouac House in Orlando, where she was from. We began spending more time together throughout the trip just exploring Florence and would even take some time to go out somewhere and read together, or beside one another, really. A week after our first meeting, I lost my virginity to her. The following year, she took me to meet her folks in Orlando. She actually ended up taking me to go see the Kerouac House, which warmed my heart. Six years later, we’re still together.

Twitter really has been poisonous to us. Hell social media as a whole, everything is just a front to look better for first impressions, but nobody has any interest in learning/doing something thoroughly because they dont recognize the benefits of actions that only affects the individual. Its sad really.
