I wish I could be a wealthy hikki-NEET. I would’ve enlisted in the military at 18 just to have done my service and then I’d spend my days writing and living off my family’s inheritance. If I got called up again, so be it. Just the idea of a life life spent writing and the constant looming threat of being blown to smithereens at a moment’s notice makes me insanely jealous.

Esseintes represents 4chan (at least the delusions) and Oblomov is a bit reddit, isn't he?

Des Esseintes:
>well past his coming of age
>highly cultured aesthete
>perverted
>is friend with perverse people
>celebrates elitism
>relentlessly weird
Oblomov:
>teenager in the body of an adult
>mediocre education
>no real interests
>beta
>good natured
>friends with pleasant people
>sole desire in life is taking a nap in a cozy room
Both are great characters, but it's like comparing the dude from Being There with Ignatius.

Actually the opposite is true, you can only love art if you don’t love the world you live in. Art is a lie, a denial of reality and escape from the world. That’s the whole point of the decadent movement.

I truly wish I will be cultured enough one day to be considered in an expert simultaneously in two completely different fields, like exotic perfumes and the later Latin poets for Des Esseintes

This. The entire point of the novel is technology and art's supremacy over nature.

If you read the book you would know he only used to be, but eventually threw a part to celebrate his impotency from probably too much drugs and fucking before withdrawing from society

You can love art in your own miserable escapist way but you'll never be able to find the follow-through to produce anything worth of value. Every single one of you is a blowhard contrarian who does not deserve a social outlet at all, and the artists who produced that art would laugh right at you.
