I recently had an understanding of how fantastic IJ is.

The chaotic narrative, the bloated maximalism, the themes of excess, being unable to unable to communicate, of being drowned in the infinite. It's a book that's about so many things, that's so excessive and maximalist, it basically becomes nothing - and at the same time, underneath the almost non-sensical narrative structure and its celebration of the disintigration of structure in general, there is a story to be told.

Like I just had this revelation last night and I was like "holy fuck, this book is fantastic". It gave me a appreciate post-modern and meta-modern literature a bit more.

A marxist post-structuralist continental Ecole Normale Supérieure professor and feminist activist was teaching a class on Martin Heidegger, known hermeneuticist.

”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Nietzsche and accept that his genealogical method was the most highly-evolved theory the continent has ever known, even greater than Hegel's dialectics!”

At this moment, a brave, rational, positivist analytic philosopher who had read more than 15000 pages of Popper and Wittgenstein and understood the raison d'être of empiricism and fully supported all modern hard sciences stood up and held up the constitution.

”How universal is this text, frenchfag?"

The arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied “It's not universal at all, fucking positivist, its 'truth' is rooted in our shared understandings about culture, the subject and the nexus of power and knowledge”

”Wrong. It’s been 225 years since human reason created it. If it was not universal, and post-modern relativism, as you say, is real… then it should be regarded as a myth now."

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of On Grammatology. He stormed out of the room crying those ironic post-modern crocodile tears. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, Michel Foucault, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than an AIDS ridden sadomasochist interested in fisting. He wished so much that he had some kind of truth to hold on to, but he himself had written to disprove it!

>>4993284
lel didnt even finish copying
The students applauded and all rolled into American universities that day and accepted Wittgenstein as the end of philosophy. An eagle named “Formal logic” flew into the room and perched atop the copy of "Principa Mathematica" and shed a tear on the hardcover. The last sentence of "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" was read several times, and Karl Popper himself showed up and demonstrated how dialectics is nothing but a means of justifying contradictions.

The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the gay plague AIDS and his "books" were disregarded for all eternity.

So was he ironically crying and his tears were crocodile tears? Or was he ironically crying crocodile tears as he walked out?

Is the act of ironically crying-fake tears a form of new-sincerety?

You have the whole side to hero/celeb worshiping, you have the chapters dedicated to questioning just how and why the war happened, the differences between different people trying to do good and their ways of going about it.

either you're lying or referring to the motion pictures, which were definitely focused on action.

pretty sure you are trolling, because from memory season one was the only section of TNG that was dense with that content; otherwise most episodes involve the crew facing an alien threat. i mean at least list some examples or i'll just assume you're talking out of your ass

Gladly. /lit/'s taste in books isn't exactly distinctive when compared to a generic book recommendations site. I'm not losing much.

While I'm at it, I'll check my tumblr because I've been on 4chan long enough to realize website tribalism is fucking retarded, especially when there's such a massive overlap in content and even communities nowadays anyways

To answer your question: yes, they're happy.
But living a life of constant entertainment and drugs abuse is pretty meaningless. It's kind of like the people who watch reality TV and eat junkfood all day. Sure, they may be happy. But is that really the life you want?

>>4997827
Yeah, I looked up another definition of Utopia and it changed my perspective. Maybe we shouldn't judge whether something is a Utopia or not based solely on the emotions of the populations (Pride, happiness, etc.) but rather on the qualities that the society possesses, where ignorance could be seen as something negative (Since ignorance is a big part of BNW, AFAIK). The emotions of the populace could be seen as ONE of these qualities, whilst other qualities like knowledge could be held up as required even though they are divorced from emotion.

Thanks. Fartsmeller.

Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be happy. By definition if I existed in the world of BNW I would be happy and content. Since I am content I cannot be experiencing the emotion of meaningless, since then I would not be content. Ergo, I would want that life.

However, this is also true:

What do you think is worse for a person developmentally: Autism or Down Syndrome?
This is a serious question, as I've worked with both children with down syndrome and kids with autism from all ranges of the spectrum, and from my experience, I'd say there are some people with autism who could NEVER function in society without a caretaker, while there are many people with down syndrome who have managed to make a reasonable living for themselves.

It really depends on the severity of the disorder. The worst of both autists and people with ds are incapable of functioning. Higher-functioning people exist in both.

Its a lot less clear with autism though. I mean ds is an extra fucking chromosome, autism spectrum is just kind of a...spectrum.

Asked about novelist David Foster Wallace, who took his own life in 2008, but who has a new book out, “The Pale King: An Unfinished Novel,” put together from manuscript chapters and files found in his computer, Bloom says, “You know, I don’t want to be offensive. But ‘Infinite Jest’ [regarded by many as Wallace’s masterpiece] is just awful. It seems ridiculous to have to say it. He can’t think, he can’t write. There’s no discernible talent.”

It’s all a clear indication, Bloom notes, of the decline of literary standards. He was upset in 2003 when the National Book Award gave a special award to Stephen King. “But Stephen King is Cervantes compared with David Foster Wallace. We have no standards left. [Wallace] seems to have been a very sincere and troubled person, but that doesn’t mean I have to endure reading him. I even resented the use of the term from Shakespeare, when Hamlet calls the king’s jester Yorick, ‘a fellow of infinite jest.’

“It’s sort of a dark time. Imaginative energy I think is very difficult to summon up when there are so many distractions. There’s a kind of Grisham’s law [in literature]; the bad drives out the good.” http://www.wwd.com/eye/people/the-full-bloom-3592315?full=true
