Was he right?

>> No.11906261

he's insightful and entertaining but his fixation with narcissism clearly is a fixation and a sign of a professional/intellectual limitation that makes me think he's got little of value to say in a big picture sense

I really wish I'd known about him back when he was (semi-) actively writing, and I absolutely wish we could see how he approached things today. All of the problems he focused on have only accelerated since he disappeared. He may arguably have focused too strongly on narcissism, but I think he was right in saying that society as a whole has shifted towards an incredibly strong embrace of it. I hope he didn't drink himself to death.

He's very repetitive, you can jump into any of his posts really. After a few you can probably guess what his main points will be in other articles as soon as you figure out what they're about.

Still waiting for that porn book.

If you liked TLP, you should probably look into Lasch, he really enriched the narcissism angle.
