Yeah I actually bought one of the. New iPhones so she can FaceTime me whenever and for as long as she wants. It’s not much but it’s much better than nothing. The thing that guts me is she wanted to take a trip to Europe with me, but she’s now too sick to travel. The whole things bad.

I try to tell her that, but the modern world tries as hard as it can to hide death from us. I’m okay with her dying, part of what makes it hard is that she feels like she’s letting me down by dying as I’m only 25.

>Foucault
>fascist

i keep hearing this surprisingly often and no one has ever been able to explain why Foucault has anything to do with fascism.

Lol, Siege is actually on goodreads.

>Everybody knows Nietzsche for his project of the Overman
>But everybody now also criticizes that as being proto-fascist

What a disgrace. And i mean the actual project, not just the bastardization of it by the Nazis.

I was thinking that his form was pretty good when setting up, and then he pulls the bar and goes full Fibonacci

That's because Derrida was heavily influenced by Heidegger

>When Hegel says a certain historical order can only be understood when its time is almost over, do you really think Hegel was such an idiot that he didn’t know the same must hold for his Philosophy of Right
Yes? Marx does the same in believing that his view will be the one through which all of history can be explained.

Wow, what a fountain of wisdom

Yeah
Most extreme i did was make a summary of an entire book. It was Jacques Ellul's work on Propaganda.

>This is why the authentic Zen masters are fully justified in interpreting the basic Zen message (liberation lies in losing one’s Self, in immediately uniting with the primordial Void) as identical to utter military fidelity

But that's fucking wrong. That's a mystical path that should be overcome. I've got the feeling that Zizek is bringing Atman into Zen, when it doesn't have a place in it.

Not written, but the only thing that gets me off are pornographic giantess stories.

>Electoral maps are "people on the internet"
>statistics that show rural americans do not support socialist policies is just "hearsay"
>the fact that red rural america is turning even more republican (http://www.governing.com/topics/politics/gov-rural-voters-governors-races.html)) is also just hearsay

Great job on that class consciousness senpai.
