If we look at all the honk memes, his prediction might be coming true. Edgy zoomers are spreading honk pepe and being absurd nihilists, instead of seeking sincere solutions.

This guy was so much ahead of his time, it took geniuses like Wittgenstein to appreciate him 100 years after he lived, and only now 200 years after he lived regular people begin to see what he wrote about, since the world has finally reached the stages he foresaw. Every other "existentialist" is laughably brainlet compared to him. Pretty much everyone is.

I don't think anyone actually finds this world situation funny. Absurd, yes, but in a sad way. There's a reason why it's become represented by a clown, and not, say, a mime or harlequin. Clowns are hobos, homeless men, which is to say men without homes. Honk honk.

This has not been my experience with Kierkegaard at all. Which books is his best?

>>12913958
Concluding Unscientific Postscripts imo, but actually his books are too different to name the best

It's the opposite. The comedian attempts to subvert and distract from real issues and the audience is growing increasingly angry and tired.

The quote's from Either/Or, read that if you haven't already. Lot of based shit in there

I don't think you've heard much comedy. If Doug Stanhope doesn't give you chills about the prospects of our civilization, you're either taking him too seriously or not seriously enough. Comedy is dreams. It's play-fighting. It's testing the possibilities of life to see where the weaknesses are. Good comediens lay bare those weaknesses.

All the 'world' is banality. When the only thing of weight, the infinite and eternal, enters the world by ending it, the world will not take notice, not knowing that the eternal is the real. The image uses the theater as the reification of the 'unreal' and the fire as realness or consequence.

Shouldn't it be a jester? Useful idiots for the people in power.

>>12914480
The jester is a complicated archtype. In history they were the only ones allowed to tell it like it is to the king. He was taken seriously but only because the merit of his character was laughable and therefore had nothing to lose or gain by telling the truth.

In those days, there were neither sprinkler systems or hose outlets everywhere. One of the deadliest theater fires in those days, the Iroquois Theatre fire in 1903, just had what amounted to about 24 pounds of baking soda for fire fighting.
