The edgy interpretations of Nietzschean philosophy are something you grow into with age, not something you grow out of with age. Few understand this.

I've never read any traditionalist author because my intuition tells me that traditionalism is wrong about everything and I have very little reason to bother correcting that since it's mostly an irrelevant set of ideals. Have I made a mistake?

Nietzsche meant Nazism. Only dimwits will deny this...

Ngmi.

Theres quite literally nothing wrong with using pepe imagery for a thread.

>It's only rape if he uses force to get it, if you weren't physically restrained and could physically leave at anytime, it wasn't rape it was coercion.

>It's only rape if he forcefully holds you down and inserts his penis into you while you are screaming for him to stop, everything else is coercion.

Scientists are natural philosophers.

The only thing worse than Dark Academia are the pseuds who see parts of themselves in this trend and feel personally offended that some teenagers are now larping in the cringe manner they already were for years. (*This post hits too close to home for a large portion of /lit/*)

>Platos dialogues: Authored 400-200 BC. Oldest surviving manuscript: 900 AD.
>Plato’s Tetralogies, Authored 400–200 B.C. Oldest surviving manuscript: 900 AD.
>Homers Illiad, Authored 800-700 BC. Oldest surviving manuscript: 1000 AD.
>Aristophanes Dialogues, Authored 400-200 BC. Oldest surviving manuscript: 1100 AD.

There is absolutely nothing “ancient” about these medieval pieces of fan fiction. They are copies of copies of copies of translations of copied fragmented translations written 1500 years after their date of authorship and translated into a neat unabridged English edition Penguin Classic.
You will deny this, because your professor told you: “It’s all real”—“we used science :O to determine this is what Plato actually said”—and because you want it to be real; just as a child coming of age enters a crisis upon hearing for the first time that Santa isn’t real. The same people who refuse to read a German-English translation written 200 years ago will happily gobble down this great lie we call the “Ancient Greeks”. It takes an especially sick individual to get a whiff of the farts of 1000 years of academic elitism and not just accept the smell, but to actively revel in it.
