did Hitchins really think he could pull off the Camus charm? with that misshapen rubber head?

>Wait dude before you take that pic let me just point to this rand point in the board. It'll make it look like I was in the middle of saying something smart.

There's something perversely funny about looking at this picture after reading his work.

>wait until i show you this party trick i can do with my eyes

why?

>>14305338
That's a very good picture of him, he doesn't look nearly as good in others I've seen.

>>14305338
yeah he had some natural face aesthetics for sure; the problem is that he was old and fat when he took the Camus-style pic

>>14305341
To be fair compare Foucault (an intellectual) to hitchens (a pseud). Foucault accepted and shaved

>>14305339
After all that sound and fury, this is what it amounted to.

>>14305359
If he got it from syphillis it is genuinely ironic. Otherwise just unfortunate

>>14305359
i mean to be completely fair that is not what it amounted to. More like defining the entirety of the 20th century and its thought.

He gives off the aura of someone who owns bondage gear.

>>14305359
what he amounted to was one of the most universally respected philosophers of all time
the left and right both use him
communists and fascists revered him
the only people that hate him are assblasted christcucks because he BTFO their ideology so hard that it can never recover so long as his works exist

Calm down faggots. Condolences that your fave ended his days dribbling and trying to hump his sister. The ubermensch indeed.

>>14305269
Yeah, in fact Nietzsche never ever drank and almost only ever drank water, with milk on special occasions. He personally didn't like vegans but he still subsisted almost entirely off of fruit and other non processed healthy foods.

>>14305710
So you only value the work of people who aren't dead?

>>14305710
Imagine being so devoid of counter arguments to his philosophy that you have to resort to petty attacks on the man's health and on the man himself

>>14305339
He's a seething Christcuck who's perverse by his own admission

>>14305710
he never aspired to be the overman retard, he couldnt even define what it was because it was a thing beyond his comprehension
he was an advocate for mankind becoming the bridge to the overman by overcoming their current moronic dogmas and nurturing creativity and flourishing

I'm not trying to refute his work retards, I just find the contrast funny.

Yeah nervous breakdowns are hilarious

>>14305796

>>14305796
In this context, more mildly amusing.

>>14305796
Lmao get off 4chan thin skinned faggot

>>14305780
His works have no logical basis to be refuted on. It’s all pure conjecture. Some people resonate with it, but to pretend like he’s making some form of logical empirical analysis is fucking hilarious. You can tell these idiots don’t even understand what they read

Yeah, he was a pothead as well as being a healthy eater, which is contradictory lole. It was for his health though.

Quite the opposite.

Who are even his fans? Centrists?

>>14305932
People validated by him

>>14305928
neither highlighted comments used that word

>dude take the photo now or i'll make a right spectacle of you

>>14305941
The one I initially replied to and you seethed over did. Are we just going into semantics now? I thought you didn’t like Anglo stuff?

>>14305932
ubermen, duh. just look at all these ubermen itt

>>14305947
pige

>>14305951
You're right that there's no logical basis, because he discarded logic. You're wrong that it's just conjecture. He reached the conclusion that logic must be discarded to get to deeper truths WITH logic.

>>14305252
he's doing the dubs guy pose

>>14305974
Pure sophistry. Continental philosophy is a matter of resonating with the material or not.

>>14305951
you're linking unrelated posts and digressing into pure nonsense
I thought you didn't link continental stuff

>>14305993
No I’m not though. Explain how I’m doing that? I responded to the relevant post and then you responded to me about it. Please just argue honestly, especially when I can scroll slightly and instantly prove you wrong.

>>14305989
same could be said about resonating with analytical axioms, which are subjective conjuctures with a structure of their own as well

>>14306000
you linked multiple different comment chains where only one of them was mine
drop it because its making no sense

>>14306001
Someone didn’t read Kant

>>14305989
The scientists that killed God were all Christians.

>>14306028

No shit, before the death of God, EVERYONE was Christian. That's the whole point.

>>14306028
the Jews killed God.

more like
>dude take some pictures of me posing on the couch, it'll make me look like a sexual predator
And it works perfectly doesn't it

>>14305914
You can, I just think it's rather weak to debunk Nietzsche's philosophy by saying
>HeHe, he went crazy! Looks like he wasn't so smart after all,huh?

If a crazy old prisoner had the key to your chains but not his, would you still takes his key?

>dude take this photo of me sitting on some steps dressed like an autist, it'll really appeal to my target demographic

>>14306083
well if he had syphilus i wouldn't touch anything that he touched, so no.

>>14306090
he was being ironically ironic authentic ok?

>>14306083
Nobody did that though you big retard you, you're projecting again

>>14306055
My point was that Christian metaphysics caved in on itself. All metaphysical systems eventually do, because they are all idealistic, and all idealism is false.

>>14306057
Nope. Darwin, for example, was a Christian.

>>14306098

Honestly the best refutal of that line I've seen.

>>14306098
>>14306126
He didn't, but it was clever nonetheless.

>>14306122

>He doesn't know about death and rebirth

The whole point of, for instance, the New Testament was the death of Jewish tribal law, being replaced with something new (he who walks with god etc. etc.).
To a Christian (to a Christian without historical perspective that is) the tribal laws embedded in the Old Testament seem ridiculous. You are like that Christian, you are looking at an archaïc version of your own belief system (and yes you have one) and saying : 'Wow that's so stupid,' as if you solved the problem yourself, while being blind to the metaphysical space that you currently inhabit (i.e. the things you can't perceive but act as though are real. It's shortsighted and intellectually lazy.

>>14306132

Just because it was the best one doesn't mean that it was correct.

>>14306160
I'm honestly not sure what you're talking about. How am I looking at an "archaic version" of my "belief system"? What is my belief system?

>>14305855
You complained about his view originally you unfunny goo gobbler.

>>14306184

Considering you are probably a westerner, your belief system is by definition derived from Christianity, I don't know what your belief system is but unless you are Asian or Middle-Eastern it's probably some version of post-enlightenment individualism (yes that includes fedorahood) which is deeply rooted in Christian thought even if you don't know it.

t. Not a Christian by the way.

>>14306105
>>14306185
OK Boomers

>>14306228
I don't "believe" in anything Christian. I only entertain those ideas when it suits me to, like when dealing with people who do believe in them. The intellectual tradition of the West didn't even start with the Christians so I'm not really sure what your point is here.

>>14306292
Seething

>>14306309

Ok never mind you can't even read. Have a nice day.

>>14306322
It's you who can't read. Western philosophy returned to pre-Christian thought starting with the Renaissance and eventually created a third stance that united both pre-Christian and Christian thought (Nietzsche) to go beyond both of them. While that evolution depended on Christianity, the result is so different from it that it's disingenuous to claim that we are all still just Christians looking at ourselves falsely. We aren't Christians anymore, and some of us aren't even ethically Christian anymore either.

>>14305947

>all those gallimard blanche

fuck why are French editions so much more aesthetic than anglo garbage

>>14306090
he looks cute in this tho

>>14305338
He smoked and he was an alcoholic. He was also an Anglo so his diet was probably piss poor.

No matter how hot he was when he was young it was inevitable he'd look like shit in his middle-age.

>>14305912
Yes, drugs are literally cool you stupid geek.

>>14306957
lol, are you in middle school?

>>14306906
sure, but cute in the same way you might think a toddler is cute when it falls over in the middle of play, or when a puppy nuzzles against you for warmth. in essence, his pathetic-ness is what gives him his cuteness. your desire to baby him, to mother him, is where the 'cute' here comes from. his cuteness is testament to his sad, autistic existence as a man incapable of entering society

>>14307119
you call DFW pathetic one more time and I will smash your head to pieces with a fire extinguisher

>>14307166

>voila

>The west, as a human project, is extremely beautiful, so beautiful it makes my heart bleed, it makes my soul quiver, it makes my spirit weep, and it's dying before my eyes
>So you're gonna look sad for this shot, bro?
>No, no, I need to be extremely masculine, stoic, and proud, like a Spartan or some shit, it's gonna be so dignified

>>14305243
can anyone rec me a book that talks about foucault going to death valley and dropping acid? is there a bio on foucault that is must read?

>im thinking you guys oughta make a statue out of me since I founded a religion and all. Make sure I'm pensive and austere, relaxed yet focused, and peaceful, yet with just a tinge of melancholy, you know that's kind what I'm all about.
>Ok I think I can picture that, what'll it be made out of?
>Gold obviously, duh.

>>14306228
I have come to the same conclusion recently. Even though having received only a cursory 'indoctrination', for lack of a better term, into Christian faith, I realised now in my mid twenties just how deeply Christian myths, stories and morality have been ingrained in my head. So so much which at first glance is abject from Christianity and will be referred to some as 'degeneracy' ( like eg modern pop music, hookup culture, partying etc) is at second glance nothing but a reaction to Christian values, and has been propagating throughout the world just as efficiently as Christianity itself. Just as Nietzsche's anti Christ, as a concept, is deeply Christian.
My question now is, is an emancipation possible?
t. Another 'not a Christian'
