/lit/ - Literature

Also, did anyone ever read Leu Feu Follet? I've only seen the film and was wondering how the book was.

>>4270091
Drugs and books.

For drugs: Reefer mostly, and once or twice a month some lsd or shrooms. Ketamine is fun when I have it.

For books: Currently reading Moby Dick and some Geneology of morals.

One of these days, I really need to try LSD. I hear it can have a really profound personal impact. Or is that mere hippy circle jerking?

>>4270123
I would most certainly say it can have a really profound personal impact. It's actually funny kinda funny considering the pictures that you posted. You see, LSD helped show me to stop being so damned anxious over the future. Instead of feeling a depressing and paralyzing anxiety that eats away a person, it became a sort of excitement that I could say is the revolt to the present absurdity.

>>4270123
Nah man. Like staring into the abyss, when you do drugs, drugs do you back.

>>4270091
implying you're supposed to deal with it

>>4270143
Conrad had it,
>Resignation, not mystic, not detached, but resignation open-eyed, conscious, and informed by love, is the only one of our feelings for which it is impossible to become a sham.

>>4270136
>dat life denial disguised as affirmation

>>4270123
I find drugs can really help you view things from different perspectives, although the 'revelations' you often have usually wear off in a few days.

I don't deal with it, it deals with me

>>4270254
mah nigga

>>4270254
>>4270256
he must have been a playboy. he's handsome as shit

>>4270254
>>4270256
where is his fedora?

>>4270276
what is it that you're implying?

>>4270276
He must have left it at your mom's.

>implying one has to deal with the absurd

I actually wonder how people deal with normality all the time.

>>4270337
>I actually wonder how people deal with normality all the time.
sports, bitches, booze, bros, and twerking

>>4270359
>sports, bitches, booze, bros, and twerking
no, you see, those things ARE normality. how do people sustain themselves on those things alone

>>4270364
>how do people sustain themselves on those things alone
erotic escapism and disgusting platitudes and sophisms

Try not dealing with it.

Life feels so very difficult all the time, like if I stopped for a second, I would die.

But I know that it isn't true. If I did nothing but eat and shit I would live, like some monk living in a hut on the side of a sand dune.

Life is nothing. It's easy. It just feels hard because we're always competing with each other or ourselves or we just feel bad organically.

The absurd is cognitive dissonance from being spooked.

*tips fedora*

I just tried to stop giving a fuck. And it worked.

>>4270438
Since when is Stirner "fedora"?

>>4270443

It's a method of deflection. The super-ego uses it to punish the ego for starting to see the point.

>>4270443

It's not, I just thought it would be funny to post that in response.

>>4270443
Stirner is the epitome of Fedora

>>4270443
Stirner is about as fedora as it gets, fedoratipper.

>>4270111
I read it so long ago I can't be of much help but I remember liking it more than the film

>>4270123
I did shrooms once and although I didn't have any great realizations I felt an extreme sensation of wanting to fully realize my will to power. It actually made me stop doing drugs for the longest time so I could focus more completely on physical excersize and meditation.
I also became more devoted to suffering and personal growth. When I used to deal with things like existential dread through escpaism now I try to grit my teeth and focus on it completely so I can grow as a person from it.
The experience itself wasn't very fun though. I almost broke down crying and have since them cut contact with every friend present during the experience.
I think the "ego death" and stuff is just hippies trying to justify their addictions.
Im going to try meth soon, it should be interesting. Anyone know what to expect

>>4270456
>>4270458
>Note to myself: stop treating posters who use "fedora" non-ironically, as human beings.

>>4270530
>implying they weren't using it ironically

>>4270530
But what does fedora mean?

that movie hit me right in the feels.

>>4270551
It's just a retarded buzzword.

>>4270540
They weren't.

Laugh.

>>4270123

I found that it really heavily reduced my sense of ego, although if what >>4270509 says is anything to go by shrooms may not have the same effect (Never tried them myself).

I'd say that LSD is definitely something worth trying at least once, I've taken it twice now and really enjoyed it both times, it feels like you're looking at things around you for the first time.

>>4270458
Nope, scientism a spook.

Women, alcohol and art, I guess.

>>4270612

best post yet

I can't wait till reddit starts using fedora so people hear drop out and actually have to discuss things

>>4270762
dont they already tho

>>4270612
This.
Some times I still try running, ha.
I wouldn't say that futility or the absurd ends in crying; it starts there and eventually you'll lose and laugh and hit refresh. I have been to /b/ to prove this.

>>4270776
just let go of your spooks bro

>>4270785
bahahaha egoists. no.

>>4270794
But Stirnerist egoism isn't even egoism.

>>4270871
Absurdism might have one too few spooks for you. All I can say is rhino feathers and good luck.

>>4270893
Rather a few too many.

>>4270905
How so? Alien or your own, the idea of rational or irrational behaviour is patently absurdity in the face of absurdity.

>>4270939
*behaviour or beliefs

>>4270939
I'm talking absurdism in the sense that Camus defined it. People seeking sense and meaning in the world and not finding it. His absurdism refers to the state of the trying but not finding. Stirner doesn't try to do that. Hence no absurdity. No spook chasing, no absurd.

>>4270957
Ew, no to Camus also.

>>4270968
There we agree.

>>4270209
>life denial disguised as affirmation
What do I read to understand this?

n8thing absurd about the world. physicists dont think it is absurd and every 8ther perspective is irrelevant bullshit

>>4270274
TB isn't sexy.

>>4270552
>that movie hit me right in the feels.
it was a great movie

Don't know the movie from OP's image, but is it any good? I feel like I could 'use' some absurdist philosophy right now.
With which I mean that I need a fix like the feeling I got after reading Camus' The Stranger, or The Fall.

As an aspect of the wonderful coincidence that has been my life, I embrace absurdity and am intrigued by it.

>>4271104
TB was sexy as shit, even Byron wanted some of that death about the eyes to attract more bitches.

>>4272409
that cough though

>>4272431
dat opium cough suppressant do

>>4270209
Nietzsche. He's wrong, though. He's making baseless assumptions that are not present in the Text by the quoted Incognito.

>>4272477
It's called reading between the lines.

But if you want to go that way there is nothing inherently present in the text at all.
