I've spent over ten thousand hours on 4chan.

Finally analytic philosophy will return to its throne.

Hahaha. Loser.

>>6170714
>Nietzsche
>Not Zizek
>Not Stirner

Did I miss a meeting, or something?

>>6170740
>not seeing through my veils of irony

I'm not sure whether I'm sincere or not.

>>6170748

your sincerity is contingent on the whim of your audience

if you can satisfy a narcissistic investment by leaning toward sincerity or irony, you will

>>6170745
Zizek isn't a /lit/ meme, he is a meme embodied, and will always be one. Your right about the Stirner thing, I fucked up

>>6170754
Dosent that just show that I understand the culture.

>implying I won't say this is ironic if you disagree

You can't win

>>6170765

it implies you are the culture's whore
you haven't yet made the culture your whore

>Nabokov not being the #1 meme author

Really, Emerson? You guys are fags

>>6170742
>I've been on 4chan for 6 years
>That's still nothing compared to many people
>I remember when 4chan and reddit didn't hate each other because reddit wasn't a shithole
>I have fond memories of my forum days
>I've spent a decade on the internet

What the fuck happened, mates?

>>6170778
He's already been canonized as the Corn Father.

We need fresh memes.

>tfw both my favourite meme author and meme philosopher candidate are losing

>tfw berkley isn't winning

Anyway, it looks like Hume and Emerson are out new memes

Fuck, I really want Gaddis to be a meme just so more people read him and talk about him. I love his shit, way better than DFW's fiction.

>>6171450
Where should I start with Gaddis, anon?

>>6171506
Recognitions

>>6170732
you've wasted your life mate. i feel bad for you

>>6171506
I read Carpenter's Gothic then Agapē Agape and then J R and I think he's great. I definitely recommend reading Agapē before J R because it's actually featured in J R. I've seen people say they didn't like Carpenter's Gothic but it's short and sort of a crash course into his style. I haven't read The Recognitions or A Frolic of His Own yet but J R is one of my favorite books.

>>6171567
Read the Recognitions. I think that Gaddis's dialogue is exalted way too far beyond his prose, but the Recognitions being his first book is still about 50% prose, and it's the most beautiful I've ever read. The pure dialogue style he developed is a little tiresome for me, but the Recognitions is perfect.

>>6171584
I'll probably read that as soon as I finish IJ then. I don't own it yet but I've been meaning to order it for a while. Have you read A Frolic of His Own?

>>6170931
is dat a reference to finnegans wake?

>>6170714

>>6171859

>Amerocentrism

>>6171868
