I'm thinking tranny / mentally ill. That doesn't mean you can't fuck their shit up. For instance, you can get the state to come in and take care of a person. You can get them evicted. You can make them a pariah in their community. You can ruin someone financially. There are many ways of deterring someone, even if they're mentally ill.

I recently read somewhere that the average book reader of a decade ago has replaced books with artistically pretentious streamable tv shows that last many seasons, like The Sopranos or Breaking Bad.

To me, that simply shows that long novels have always been overrated as an artistic achievement. No one replaces short novels, essays, non fiction, philosophy etc with netflix

I hope this is a shitpost. Most of our (non-meme) philosophy threads are "what should I read before I read x" tier posts, I have nothing against those but it's not 'high quality' to say the least. There are some good threads that discuss different ideas and such, but they are usually not that deep and only a few of them pop up here and there.
Otherwise the majority of 'philosophy' threads are about Evola, Guenon or some other meme shit. That's the high IQ philosophy to you?
