>dude initiation and hyperspheres lmao
>YOU LIKE HER PUSSY DONTCHA DONTCHA MMMMM SMELL THAT FUCKING PUSSY KID

what the fuck happened?

>there are 73 episodes in the book, which I find to be an interesting number, because here again 73 is a number that just misses the magical mythical number of 72, which is the key number, and I'm sure Pynchon must have known this, for the procession of the equinoxes which precedes one degree along the horizon every 72 years, and you find 72 recurring over and over again throughout myth such as when they capture osiris and put him in a coffin snd they drive 72 nails into the coffin which is connected with the precession of the equinoxes; so it's interesting because in the modernist world it would have turned out to be exactly 72 and we could have connected it with the precession perhaps, but in the postmodermist world it's 73 so it just misses the meaning that we would like it to line up as to satisfy our insitence on absolute meaning, not so in the postmodern world; everything gets distupted with asymmetries, with fuzzy meanings, with the unconcealing of entities in the heidegerrian clearing in a fuzzy way where we never quite get all the facets of the entity and for every time according to heidegger--and this is why heidegger is the grandfather of postnodernism--it unconceals itself it does so imperfectly and we only see certain facets of it and if we change the question that we put to the entity certain facets of it are also unconcealed and then other facets falls into the darkness of the clearing, so we never get a full picture, same thing here with pynchon

Lol I guess when I write my era-defining doorstopper I’ll have to have 74 chapters just to fuck with this guy.

As horrible as his constant breakdowns are, I really do feel bad for John. Being in the sort of relationship he did like that plus her suicide is bound to drive you insane, especially if you're an alcoholic and not allowed to see your son. Posting those things on Twitter is just making things astronomically worse though. I hope he can get his life together.

he has posted links to his dead gf's porn videos recently

>>16482838
really sad how people are making fun of him, even people who used to be (or perversely still are?) his fans. it goes to show how dehumanizing this shithole of the internet really is that when someone who gave his time to you is treated like a sideshow when he falls on hard times

lol what an absolute king fuck that dead whore

>era-defining doorstopper
too late for that sort of thing

yo wtf

Holy fuck, Uncle Nick isn't looking good.

Is he going to be ok?

Hes really losing it this time,

It's interesting watching his slow descent into madness

>>16482838
That twitter page is hyper modernity if I've ever seen it boys.

>your brain on nonsense
this is what you will turn into if you continue reading all those pseud language sandbox authors. Your attempt to decipher them is a ticket to the rope. Hes an absolute loser and has no way to justify it other than he was tricked by the seductive call to Truth. Anyway I wouldn't be so harsh if the object of his study wasnt so obviously bs. In truth he tried very hard to be successful but ultimately failed and one can applaud him for his attempts and vigor.

go back to your containment board

>>16482838
Can someone tell me what the fuck happened?

>>16486140
he took deleuze seriously

Who the hell is this boomer? Never seen it shilled before on lit

Nick Land. He's posted all the time, mostly twittershit.

>>16486433
? Nick Land is John David Ebert? What is it some sort of pseudonym? I wasn't aware of any of this. Am I being memed?

For a moment I confused this guy with the deceased movie reviewer, top kek.

>>16486405
Hes basically just a dude who does a lot of analytical work in myth studies, he actually has a lot of good videos on philosophy and even some of his books are very good.

That being said hes really fucking losing it right now, hes very poor, cant make his rent so begs for money, and every book hes republished lately has to do with his suicided ex gf whom he both hates and loves with all his might.

>>16486621
Ebert is great. I'm just really baffled that someone who has such a sharp intellect allows this to happen to him.

>>16486649
Its terribly embarrassing. He really needs to reign it in. And stop drinking.

>>16486653
something really gross about boomers posting about pussy

>>16486660
Hes way off the deep end right now.
