/lit/ - Literature

Remember women never engage in intellectual pursuits for the sake of knowledge, they do it only to arouse attention on the basis that they are "different" or "philosophical" which will benefit them by increasing their value.

This thread is a perfect example.

Of course I would still shove my dick between your tits hit me up bae.

Analytical thinking is truly devoid in the female

Schopenhauer is for posers who can't handle Aristotle's, Kant's or Hegel's systematic reasoning.

Why are women such liars and theives? They truly are a disgusting animal.

I am happy that I prefer the company of men.

>>7526475
Don't you find acknowledging the worst to be freeing in a way?

lol you're gay.

>>7526478
You are blatantly deceiving yourself into thinking that it makes you happy when really you are simply depressed and intellectually challenged.
>>7526479
Indeed

>>7526395

only the eternal return changes your life since it means that as soon as you accept dukkha over and over as in a samsara, as soon as you stop despising life, as soon as you stop being a nihilist, your existence changes in accessing a different perspective on existence. the eternal return is a surrender, an abdication of your self before your sufferings and joys stemming form your failure to fulfil your wish to live in hedonism, in avidity towards pleasures and aversion towards pains. once you abdicate, you destroy (mundane) hedonism.

existentialism is a nihilism since it despises life so much that he tries to change it.

pessimism is plebbery

Guys do this too.

Jesus, for an 'intellectual' board you all are misogynistic as hell, and misogyny is always unsubstantiated and invalid. Look at all of the award winning women creating revolutionary works... and now look at yourself, sitting on your couch holding onto something unmovable to keep yourself from crying into your pizza boxes every night.

>>7526531

Maybe 'revolutionary' was an overstatement, but you aren't awarded and Pulitzer or Nobel Prize without having done something of quality. To some extent there are politics that go into choosing these laureates, but, again, you have to produce something somewhat of quality.

>misogynistic

Women think any criticism of any individual woman is misogynistic.

But, in any case, I would agree with you that there is a lot of misogyny on this board, but there's just as much misandry. Modern feminism, of course, is an anti-male, hate-filled bigoted movement full of sexist misandrists, and this has led to a reactionary, misogynistic backlash movement which you can find a lot of on 4chan.

>>7526507
I hope you have a very happy night :)

>You are blatantly deceiving yourself into thinking that it makes you happy when really you are simply depressed and intellectually challenged.
I'm not. Realising how bad life is makes me dedicated to helping others and doing so bring me joy, even though I know it's fleeting.

>"In fact, the conviction that the world and man is something that had better not have been, is of a kind to fill us with indulgence towards one another. Nay, from this point of view, we might well consider the proper form of address to be, not Monsieur, Sir, mein Herr, but my fellow-sufferer, Soci malorum, compagnon de miseres! This may perhaps sound strange, but it is in keeping with the facts; it puts others in a right light; and it reminds us of that which is after all the most necessary thing in life—the tolerance, patience, regard, and love of neighbor, of which everyone stands in need, and which, therefore, every man owes to his fellow."

>>7526531

The women creating revolutionary works aren't the same women doing stereotypical dumb women shit like this thread's OP.

>>7526565
This isn't really pessimism, more cynical Epicureanism.
Sounds like you really would prefer Epicurus or Diogenes over Schope 2b earnest.

>>7526531
>pulling the misogyny card

reddit must be few tabs away huh

>>7526564
These posts are negatively stereotyping women inherently due to their gender, which is misogyny.

>Modern feminism
What? Do you mean post-feminism? Because that's not a part of the school of thought. If you're talking about what you see within culture and on tumblr, that's a different story, and those women aren't education in feminist philosophy if they're also misandrist. So it's not an issue of feminism, it's an issue of trends, which is all that really amounts too.

>>7526585

>>7526580

>>7526570
Yes, but a lot of these posts are using those examples of herd mentality to insult women in respect to their gender.

>>7526579
I've read the known Epicurean texts multiple times and three of the main academic works on Diogenes and Cynicism. I like them all a lot, but Schopenhauer touches on a despair that's absent in those schools that I find essential. He inspires more compassion, maybe because his work is more grim. And practically Schopenhauer seems a negative hedonist, so sort of an Epicurean.

>he thinks I'm OP

>>7526608
They're actually sincere friendly smileys :)

>>7526601
That's true, Schope certainly focuses on all lives being net bad than either. I'd suppose that Epicureanism is becoming more mainstream amongst the typical middle to upper class American, i.e. life is seemingly meaningless so you should maximize feeling good, whether this means obtaining your "potential" or just materialistic hedonism, while balancing it with sacrifice to other people or to temporary feeling bad. Maybe if it continues the current minds will shift to being more negative a la Schope
>three of the main academic works on Diogenes and Cynicism
I know Oxford and Penguin are two, what's the other one?

>>7526531
No, they don't. Stop trying to castrate males.

Call me when a team of females completes something of note without any male assistance or boosterism. It doesn't happen and never will.

Even Marie Curie had her husbands "assistance" and received a joint award.

Stop stealing my resources and glory, roasties.

ayyy baby if you ever feel like getting tossed down the stairs give me a call

>>7526675
You're welcome, m8. I found Navia's work in my Uni library when I started looking into Cynicism and I was very happy to find it digital as well because it's fucking expensive.

this seems more hedonism.

and hedonism is the praxis of the doctrine from the liberal/libertarian.

Yeap. Same here. It's a great feeling seeing shit everywhere. Especially in my country which is still underdeveloped. I've built a pessimistic persona that people mistake for being a realist. I get paid shit tons of money to give my opinion on bullshit matters. I see no reason not to enjoy it.

No, we had our fun. No one really cares what women feels, including what you're saying now.
