Not to mention the cuck's complete misunderstanding of economics

>>9158128
>>was a fascist but too snowflake to join italian or german nazi movements

ok you triggered me

>>9158128
I bet he was a blast at parties.

>>9157636
No.

>>9158288

I liked his books on Alchemy and The Holy Roman Empire, certainly helps reading Plato

Nobody understands economics. That's obvious by now.

This is what happens when 105 IQ people read.

>wanted to kill himself at 23

Like most people today. Big whoop.

>started larping as a budhist

Not even in the slightest. Taking an interest in Buddhism isn't LARP-ing

>was a fascist but too snowflake to join the italian or german nazi movements

Nice ruse.

>no kids, no marriage, but started writing about sex and tantra for some reason, believed virgins should be deflowered by ceremonial raping

He didn't write manuals on how to do it. I've read the metaphysics of sex. It's just a compendium of all the ideas that existed in the ancient world about sexuality. It's just like writing about the hunter-gatherer lifestyle without ever having picked up a bow. Stop being a tool obsessed STEM autist.
And I haven't read anything about virgins needing to be deflowered. Nice Aleister Crowley tier accusation.

>read and believed every crap of new-age quackery that is responsible for the threads on /x/

Some people unironically believe a man walked on water, an illiterate man wrote down an Arabic text received by an angel and another man split the seas. At least mystery cults don't take the literalist reading as a necessary dogma in order to belong.

>the Tradition is....DUDE I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THE TRADITION IS ONLY PEOPLE THAT WERE BORN KNOWING ABOUT IT KNOW ABOUT IT TOUGH LUCK KIDDO

Maybe it's true? Seems to trigger you, the idea reality might not be meritocratic.

So did he really hate ice cream ?

>he lacks the aristocratic sensibility
drop t bh

>wanted to kill himself at 23 because the world is useless, basically coldsteel the hedgehog

From the 19th century onwards, educated people have often flirted with nihilism/suicide/etc, sometimes taking them to their logical conclusions. Ol' Wittgenstein strongly considered it, for example.

Post-WW2, we've all been too distracted by consumerism to seriously entertain such existential crises.

>started larping as a budhist

So does Sam Harris, the official /lit/ philosopher.

>was a fascist but too snowflake to join the italian or german nazi movements

More that he was too aristocratic. He did give them some support, but has reservations about their populist elements - namely appealing to the common man/rabble/etc.

>no kids, no marriage, but started writing about sex and tantra for some reason, believed virgins should be deflowered by ceremonial raping

I see no problem with this. Who the fuck would have kids or get married in the modern day? If you're a man, the law is stacked against you.

>read and believed every crap of new-age quackery that is responsible for the threads on /x/

I don't know why the esoteric triggers so many people. Goethe took alchemy seriously, for example. Big whoop.

>the Tradition is....DUDE I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THE TRADITION IS ONLY PEOPLE THAT WERE BORN KNOWING ABOUT IT KNOW ABOUT IT TOUGH LUCK KIDDO

His definition of tradition is something very Platonic, akin to 'forms.' Needless to say that when /pol/ hears the word 'tradition' for example, they think of something rather interesting.

Nonetheless, his own definition is pretty interesting.

>the esoteric triggers so many people

It triggers mostly marxists. They hate anything that takes idealism to its logical conclusion.

Congrats on skimming the Wikipedia article, mate.
