Holy shit, this is embarrassing. Why would you submit this to your school? It doesn't matter if he got a good grade (which I don't understand since he hasn't maintained any real academic distance and it's painfully obvious this is a very personal exegesis rather than an objective study.)

He has shamed himself.

Care to share?

[Anonymous No.7418009]

>Earlier works from the fields of literature, psychology and philosophy
provide insight to /fit/‘s mentality, specifically the writings of Ayn Rand, Friedrich
Nietzsche, and Carl Jung. The board draws on these philosophical ideas
without realizing it, thus making them useful to understand the /fit/ standard.
Ayn Rand’s “concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the
moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity,
and reason as his only absolute” (Rand 1996). In other words, a Randian hero is
one that pursues his or her own happiness as the ultimate goal.

FUCK /fit/

[Anonymous No.7418012]

>The Randian hero bares some similarity to Nietzsche’s Übermensch. The Übermensch as described in Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a one who establishes his or her own values in the world (Nietzsche 1999). /fit/‘s concept of the hero exemplifies both the Radian hero, and the Übermensch. /fit/ establishes its own values particularly of aesthetics, a physical fitness (e.g., Zyzz) as the Übermensch. The pursuit of those values set forth match understanding of the Randian hero. In other words, /fit/ sees itself as a Randian hero in pursuit of becoming an Übermensch.

There's a few who are at least knowledgeable in their interests, and read Mishima and the likes. At least there were a few when I last browsed.

But that quote was typical /fit/ idiocy; they are the kind of people to read philosophy to become 'alpha', or to read The Prince to become more 'machivellian'. They view literature as one long string of self-help.

Who are you quoting? They are plebs as that is how they treat philosophy and works of literature, as ways of becoming a 'alpha' or whatever. They devalue it. There's nothing wrong with trying to better yourself, but reading the Prince to become a more alpha, or to get a promotion at your work, is P plebe.

[Anonymous No.7418627]

I go to tech. The people who decide to go to a school as stem-centric as this for liberal arts are generally retarded. Half of them aspire to be gaming journalists and other autistic shit.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a liberal arts degree, but this school is a terrible, terrible place to do it. I'm here for physics, and even though it's a stem field and a good bit of physics research happens here you can tell we aren't the focus -- engineering is. Ivan allen college is ten times as ostricized and suffers from awful professors and cringeworthy students.

How the fuck does anyone get a 3.99 GPA? Even if you get a B in a one credit course, I doubt you could ever be that close to 4.0 without having at least double the credits total.

My Masters thesis was a creative writing focus, so I wrote 100 pages of fiction. Wrote some good long papers though. I sort of want to get a PhD in English just so I can quit working for a while to dedicate myself to longterm research without feeling guilty. But, I already get paid shit to be a college English instructor. With a PhD I'll get the same shit pay and debt on top of it.
