Nice!

Mr.Sadler is banned from 13 different Olive Gardens for pathologically abusing their "unlimited pasta" marketing scheme. He almost put them out of business, by himself.

>>18125262
Based.

Gift from me dear mum. Probably read it 15+ times

>>18125322
Blake is great. "Jerusalem" is what got me interested in poetry.

>>18125254
Wrecked

His son is a tranny

>>18125262
Is there an actual story behind this Olive Garden thing or is it just "heh heh he fat?"

>>18126539
Gregory Sadly would rotate between multiple Olive Gardens in his area throughout the day, in order to not sound the alarm of his systemic abuse of their unlimited pasta policy. He was able to pull off the scam for over 6 years.

Any good reqs on where to start with Blake? I’ve been waiting to read him since listening to Neville Goddard speak about his work.

>>18125322
>>18126672
On that note, is that Portable Blake a good place to start?

>>18126672
I would recommend the portable library edition, actually. It's a good selection of poems, letters, some drawings, and a bit of prose.

>>18126563
Is this a real story?

>>18125154
Why hasn't he done any lectures on Spinoza? Seems like a major blind spot.

>>18126563
The thing about his tranny son was real so I am just not sure if this is merely a joke.

>>18126715
>>18126672
>>18126745
I wish I knew of a good edition of his complete works. I have a volume, but it's pretty poor quality :/

>>18126750
He said during a livestream that he isn't a fan of Spinoza and never really got much out of him.

>>18126749
>>18126753
You should ask him

>>18126563
This is too funny to real, but damn I wish it was.

>>18125254
>>18125858

Wait till he gets to Meltdown and Tic-Talk. I shared Sadler's opinion of him up until some of those later essays. People don't realize that the first 1/3 or so of FN is actually fairly normal.

>>18127083
Post a tweet or something. He admits he has a tranny son and then acts the way you would expect a caricature of these people to react with "learning the pronouns" so I wouldn't put something equally as dumb beneath him.

>>18125154
Who's this faget

The one YouTuber who understands Hegel and who posts his lectures for free.

>>18127272
>free.

fpbp
10 copies of Fanged Noumena is all you need.

>>18125154
For some reason, any time I see Sadler, I think of that pasta about the Husserl scholar working at Wendy’s.

>>18127363

>>18127363
Post it! I vaguely remember it.

>>18127622
nvm
I am a 36 year old with a PhD in Philosophy. I am $450k in debt and currently working two minimum wage jobs in order to stay alive. I work alongside 18 year olds and whenever they ask about my background I just tell them I've been in prison for a long time, which is less embarrassing than admitting the truth. I am probably the most well-informed Husserl scholar on the North American continent, perhaps in the world. My 1,500 page biography of his life has been rejected several dozen times. No college will take me on since they don't think Husserl is relevant, and that other applicants are therefore pushed to the head of the line. I have had 6 Husserl-related papers published in different journals and philosophical quarterlies, but have earned no money or recognition for having done so. I just moved to Abbeville, Louisiana since there is a job opening at the university in Lafayette and I decided to go all out in order to get it. But I've just found out that my application was rejected and now I'm stuck working at a Wendy's three shifts a week and a Barnes & Noble the rest of the time. I have no wife, no children, and at this point no friends I'm willing to talk to due to the shameful nature of my existence.

>>18127612
Damn. how do you get your latin... tomes... Post shelf?

>>18127363
>For some reason

I know the reason, and the reason is that you consider it classless when academics aren't employed by a university. Honestly, chances are Sadler makes more money being independent given the state of universities.

>>18128057
I think Sadler is not happy with his lot in life either though. I see him post disparaging remarks about Ivy league schools on Twitter occasionally and it seems more like sour grapes.

>>18128086
Definitely this.
He is extremely bitter in general about everything.
Wonder if that is just his personality or caused by some inferiority complex that he thinks he should be more appreciated or something.

>>18128086
>I think Sadler is not happy with his lot in life either though.
There's a vast resentment behind his persona, you can sometimes see it showing through the cracks when he interacts with people.

>>18128128
>you can sometimes see it showing through the cracks
There are no "cracks", only a giant gaping hole.

>>18128086
Posting disparaging remarks about the Ivy League just means you're sane.

>>18128325
What he said was something like "the best teachers don't necessarily come from the highest, elitist schools" or something and my thought was "don't pat yourself on the back too hard. You might hurt yourself."

>>18128352
Well he's not wrong. There's like 5000 colleges in the U.S, the idea that Harvard or Yale has all the best teachers simply because they have the most money is just a market liberal fallacy.

And besides, the Ivy League schools have already been busted several times for allowing the entrance of wealthy people's failsons and faildaughters through donations, which is something that will destroy the school's reputation and quality if it continues.

>>18128391
Thats undergrad entrance, very different than actual degrees granted sufficient to teach. Nobody in philosophy is teaching at the university level with less than a doctorate, and that dissertation is a matter of public record. There is a lot of bad, lazy philosophy being done, but the issue is political convenience more than corrupt legacy admissions.

>>18128439
The point is that whoever teaches at Ivy League isn't there simply because they are good at their job, they are there because they know the right people or belong to the correct family. It's just a naive fantasy that we live in a functioning, non-corrupt and pure meritocracy.

>>18128447
I agree with you, mostly, but still argue that nobody is teaching because of being from the correct family. Nepotism and political posturing gives people tenured positions frequently, but not family name. If you have a specific example in mind, I will concede the point gladly.
