I'm reading Bleeding Edge by Pynchon and yes, I too am sick of irony. Pynchon i think sort of tries to respond to DFW towards the end of chapter 30 but in the usual Pynchonesque way, doesn't really say anything at all. I believe the world, and especially the west is completely trapped in irony and sarcasm. It prevents people from having any actual growth. You cannot ever have a real debate because everyone resorts to wisecracks and the ensuing laughter convinces their vanity that they are right, therefore resulting in a stagnant world. It's just so sad...

It is taking every fiber of my being to not call you gay or to imply you have sexual relations with your father. This is because I agree with you.

Not only irony, I am thinking more about the entertainment side. It's difficult for me to stop using the internet and go to bed for instance. It's infinite content and I want to consume everything jfc.

Using based as a way to describe the dichotomy of irony is inherently biased because the origin and historical context of based is, itself, drenched in irony. It’s formation as common parlance is solely because of its ironic value.

I know a guy who only reads a book after he's thoroughly researched it because he doesn't want to "waste his time" reading anything "lowbrow". The internet was a mistake truly.
>>19138731
Also this is exactly the kind of shit i despise. Are you retarded? What makes you resort to these clichéd responses? "Thanks for", "its almost as if", why? Why can't your brain understand that what you're doing is useless? That you provide nothing new? Nothing to discuss? You don't refute any of his points in any way by doing this, you understand that don't you?

see, i can't take posts like this seriously
it would make for an intelligent shitpost, but a completely retarded, reddit-tier, serious post

if you don't understand why that vomit you just typed is entirely irrelevant to the post that you replied to, then you're genuinely unintelligent and maybe you'd feel more at home on reddit.
