All actions are at root unironic, and irony is just the unironic playing out of a desire sublimated by the irony.

Therefore the unironic deals with the transcendental ground, and the ironic is only its impotent shadow.

Gone Girl:
Onions Redditor: Amy is FERICE! I also think she's a feminist, but some of the books gender dynamics strike me as massagastic. Gonna have to think on that one. Oh well, all in all it's a pretty good satire of the institution of marriage.

Why are you talking about this sort of thing? You do realize AI is taking over, right? We won't be talking about human writers' intelligence in a few years but Machine Intelligence surpassing us in virtually every endeavor.

For example: AI can philosophize now, write essays, write poems and fiction better than humans can now. Tesla's stocks are riding and AGI's (Singularity coin) value rose 20% in one day. Get informed

Chad: This description is so vivid and crazy!

>>16167377
What a false-dichotomy. It is retarded to see class-struggle and capitalism as the only critical theme in a film, obviously.
But it's not chad to take it only at face value either. Don't get me wrong, I really went along with the comedic ride with Parasite, but at the same time I didn't find the violence shocking or random either, because it was clear that the characters had harboured indignation for too long, which was less about material circumstance than the soijaks would recognise.
Memes are funny, don't get me wrong but I feel like over the past decade, there has been a complete eradication of nuance.

This format doesn't really work with literature. The reason that the original joke lands is because the overappraisal of a contemporary film like Parasite by the guy on the left is more inappropriate than the surface-level enjoyment by the guy on the right.
