The World as Will and Representation. NOT because "lol Schopenhauer was an incel," but because he actually advocates for celibacy and abstention from reproduction.

>> No.12951113

>>12951096
Zizek is just a pop-philosopher which is an immediate turn off to genuine intellectuals and pseuds on /lit/. Only Midwits like him and his fellow pop-philosophers like Foucault, Chomsky, Peterson etc.

Shouldn't "pop-philosopher" be impossible? I don't see how a philosopher gives media presence much attention while being sincere and not a hack.

I wonder if we could create a short technical description of what a pseudo-intellectual is. It would have to include the masturbatory misuse of language which isn't used to elucidate but to obfuscate, to expand the negligible beyond all reason in order to create the illusion of substance, and the equally auto-erotic act of ascribing transcendent meaning to trivial phenomena, ultimately constructing a maze out of obscurantist ramblings in which the cognitively deficient narcissist and often the architect himself, are snared by their own ego.

I'm actually not. Just trying to compress something which should be written at length. You are forgiven for seeing it as such as that is indeed another technique used, although in a much more extreme form often through the utilization of self-referential jargon.

I'll admit it made me laugh out loud. But if the author is not revealing the joke it has to be categorized as malignant, and if he does not mean it as a joke it is pathological.

where? no comment
he was really into Decalogue at the time, so we had a lot of that.
literally dumb ass me third year undergrad and like 3 phd cats (who've all gone on to great acclaim).
hed read some shit. wed listen. wed watch. I honestly wasted the opportunity - but I was drowning in youth, classes, projects, didn't know how to fucking manage it. He was there for as much as anyone wanted to put into it. I kept a seat warm and didn't bother him. nonetheless shit like tarrying with the negative were useful to me at the time, as were some of his noir film readings. I used it in other classes. so I don't really have any stories - he just let us all do our thing and gave paperwork to the bureaucrats cuz we hardcore few bothered to show.
