No

no

philosophers are in the city

the sage live both as a hermit and in the city, even though he prefers to be a hermit

writers being hedonistic, they need the city to have something to say and to be appraised.

>>7096088
haha because it's the kid in the news but he's a frog now XDDD

faggot

>>7096100
You sound hurt

salinger bordered on being one

>>7096167
Maybe that's why he was such a shit writer

Yeah, there were. All over the place. Usually in Buddhist China. Google them.

Lisa was a good game.

Desert Fathers were.

DFW ?

>>7096552
I would literally, sincerely, genuinely hate to be you. You see a thread you are presumably interested in despite obviously knowing next to nothing about literature except the material you've internalized from browsing /lit/ so often. Your only response in the face of something you know nothing about is to post "DFW", despite the fact you have never read Infinite Jest, or Broom of the System, or any biographical information about him that would suggest he is Hermit-like in any sense. You are like a child standing in a group of adults (this is /lit/, so let's say teenagers) and understanding little of what they say, so your only recourse is to repeat the phrases you hear most often. I'm not going to bother explaining how DFW was the opposite of a hermit. You're just not worth it. You actually have negative value, existentially speaking.

Diogenes may have been based as fuck but he's no hermit

>>7096027

Heraclitus went innamountains and lived of shrubs because of his contempt for humanity or something.

Don't be ridiculous

>>7096568
did you see this '?' or it got smeared by your monthly effusions ?

>>7096670
this is closest to hermit and well enough remembered. The hermit writers probably died alone with no one to carry on their writing. Op you're dumb

>>7097143
>if someone lived alone then there is no chance of us recovering their writing

ok

>>7097146
the chances of it being found/good enough to publish. You obviously missed my point fuck face. Say you've got a really good idea but you're unknown as a writer. You go to solitude to write. Then you get dysentery and are dead. Why should anyone give a shit about your writing.

>>7097203
>because the chances are slim there are no examples in history, anywhere

ok

>>7097208
did I say that? Lol man I just said Thoreau was one of the most memorable in recent writing. Calm down, what are you? An anti-transcendentalist or something

>>7097218
>The hermit writers probably died alone with no one to carry on their writing
>did I say that?

>>7097224
fine, I admit I didn't go back to read my first post, my bad. But in place of that I should say, most hermit writers probably died alone

>>7097224
just saying, you've yet to post any of those hermit writers you were referencing.

>>The hermit writers probably died alone with no one to carry on their writing

> What are the Church Fathers?
A pillar of world culture that American lardfucks will never know due to their crippling provincialism.

>>7097239
I haven't referenced any, just that they must exist by probability

Was Evola a hermit or just posturing as one?

>>7097255
If he wasn't a hermit before his fateful stroll during an air-raid he was probably more of one afterwards.

Reportedly he hung out with Mussolini.

Nietzsche

Weird. I hadn't heard of this game until this month, and now I'm seeing it fucking everywhere.

>tfw just gave up my arm to save Terry

>>7097389
That's because the dlc came out recently

I haven't seen it anywhere, where have you?

>>7096568
He's French, don't mind him.

>>7096630
Can we be sure that Diogenes wasn't just a crazy old homeless man?

>>7097698
they took "crazy" people seriously back them because they could think out side of the box

>>7097389
What game are you talking about? OPs picture?

Its the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon

>>7097400
>>7097389
It's been shilled on /v/ for the past 4 months or so

>>7097317
I doubt they were close, he was very critical of him
