Chaucer (character) - not to be confused with Chaucer the writer

He told the worst story of the book (tale of Sir Topas) and the host had to stop him midway because he was annoying everyone listening with a full and stupid story that went nowhere and had no point and did not benefit the listeners in any way.

I like to view myself as doing exactly that. Wasting the time of anyone stupid enough to waste their time listening to me. lol

What is with the effeminate-trans depictions of Rasolnikov? If we're speaking about an actual Russian man from St Petersburg in the 19th century, even if he is described as attractive and gaunt, he is still going to look much more hardened than that.

I really liked how he depicts German speaking people as completely unable to pick up women and say something interesting to them. Literally any speech has to take this bend on general topics and no one is every able to talk about something personal in the "I" form. Everything has to be an impersonal speech about "what one should do" or at best "what one feels when one is in a situation where one..."
Fun thing is: if you read Jugendstil authors, they are all like that. Musil just magnified this to the extreme. Even funnier thing: if you go to Germany (or to Austria, which is what German would look like if an alien was told what Germans look like and tried to reproduce it) people are still like that. Males are completely unable to say anything interesting unless under the influence of alcohol, and no one speaks in first person about things they themselves think, learn or feel.

It's just an idealised style, of course a more accurate depiction of a poor Russian man would be an unshaven goblin, but why should it have to be accurate?

Musil is the usual yuppie atheist homo sex fiend coomer who digs phenomenology , meditation and mysticism in dilettante after being bored from the bourgeois humanism hyping science and progress. The same crap from Proust. No wonder intellectuals and their fanbase love him and turn out to be bisexual.


Yes it's the decadence and degeneracy of atheism. As usual with humanists, it gets worse as time passes by. The next stage of torrent of crap is with Musil since after WW1 which killed the coomer fantasy of the belle epoque, ie it was peak hedonism, with men being super coomers and women being super whores, muh technological progress, muh flying cars in year 2000, technical progress and scientism where the new gods. Not aware of any bad consequence for their behaviors, the loss of the hardon for the dogmas of the human rights is depicted and the usual crap about the bourgeois, sex and boredom is found in Musil. Musil is the usual yuppie atheist homo sex fiend coomer who digs phenomenology , mediation and mysticism in dilettante after being bored from the bourgeois humanism hyping science and progress. The same crap from Proust 100 years before. No wonder wanabee and careerist intellectuals and their fanbase love him and turn out to be bisexual.
After some secular universalism to feel spiritual and self righteous and salvage the secular democracy and public servants ( which created WW1 and 2) , they went on to their deification at all cost (in order to not fall back to monarchies) ie fascism (communism+nazism). all those bourgeois intellectuals from the non-stem fields contaminated the stem fields and since the non-stem careerists have no new mental masturbation to offer as the new grand narrative, all the stem intellectuals killed positivism for good and now there is nothing left besides a neo leftism which is compatible with capitalism= trannism.


because atheists are hedonists who surfed on the technological progress to get votes, now that science and positivism is pretty much dead for this and hedonists are still morally bankrupt, they have to resort to mass entertainment as culture and idolization to fake having virtue.
Positivism is a dead-end ideologically and material progress is also a dead with less and less marginal gains. Outside Internet, No breakthrough in science for the last 50 years.
