nobody reads on this board, unironically every discussion here is more shallow than reddit where at least you're accountable, 90% of this board is just pseudo intellectual posturing based on wikipedia skims

I switched my major to comp sci a little after a year of that shit. I'm much happier now, no women in my classes either.

baka get your ideology addled brain out of here

I've a theory that the reason the American left is so genuinely offended by Trump is because he represents a return to individual agency, essentially a lack of government and/or big brother to tell them what to do, even going so far as to go against what they've been told to do in the past, the established and manufactured virtue of the land. It's what Zizek would call the pain of abandoning ideology. Zizek funnily enough also said he'd vote for Trump if he could, because he understands what he is. That Trump is a destructive force who represents genuine shift from the status quo, and who may make things so bad (no-one thinks Trump is qualified or a good candidate in the conventional sense) that it will necessitate meaningful change in both the system and the population. It's going to be an interesting four years, the propaganda machine of the leftist media is really pushing things to a confrontational pace.

Lmao, that ethnically ambiguous interviewer guy is such an ideological shithead with his little 'gotcha' questions and total inability to even understand what's being said to him. He proved a living real time example of the truth of Zizek's claim.

Yes, the excluded and destitute have such an enlightened vantage point to offer. Spare me the wisdom of your poverity OP, college is extremely healthy for any individual, plus it's full of virile young women, you fag.

How do I become more confident?

Anything and everything in life is analogous to pushing the rock, according to Camus. It is inescapable in many senses. Man must do something.

I feel like I can't write fiction because I can never really remember anything with enough clarity to write about it.

Is there a way to fix this?
