Is Charles trying to start a cult?
Also what the hell is going on with his hairline?

"Not me, not never"

>>16138968
it's not, but you simply gotta be the elites with a lot of resources in order to be able to apply it.

report, sage, and hyde

>>16138968
I like Charls a lot but this is a just a cope.

>>16139015
For example that Israeli general who applied Deleuze&Guattari for military operation in Palestine or Peter Thiel with Rene Girard. It's not that it's useless, most people are just powerless.

>>16138968
he is right modern philosophy is useless. what good has ever come from it?

>>16138968
Maybe, but what about contemporary philosophy?

>>16138968
Damn, he's a literal schizo now

>>16138968
Charls is based and aspiring to be pure, I don't agree with every detail of what he says obviously, but the overall aim of what he's trying to do is appreciable.

And in contrast to what many uneducated people think, he is indeed talking about very real ideas and not just entirely schizo-acting though he obviously does act a bit in his streams and videos. From what I can gather, he is doing it from something of a Gnostic perspective.

You guys should check out his book list, has a lot of stuff like Novalis or Goethe, or Heidegger's Sojourns, and some conspiracy books on Jews like central banking.

>>16138968
>nothing new under the sun
Yes, in an ontological being sense.

>thinking comes first
Ahh, it seems he is not aware of the poets sacrifice.

>>16139052
Nah, he's literally mentally ill. Just look at his eyes. His sanity is gone

>>16138968
>>16138984
>>16139051
>>16139065
Nah he's sane.

Charls is a cinematic genius.

>>16138968
>6 mins of sophistry
Charls is funny but this is like some 14 year old smoking weed for the first time

>>16139081
i dont know where the fuck he found that version of Good Time Charlie at the start

>>16138968
Charls has become stale, worse yet a pussy. Literally talking about reading the quran and not eating pork, all conveniently coinciding with getting a mussie gf.

This gets down thumbed

>>16138968
How does he define 'use' in a non-philosophical way?

>>16139189
He was like with her for a few months I think.

>>16138968
>I hate philosophy, it has never done any good
>But I like C.S. Lewis; a rhetorician who relies entirely on the philosophical groundwork of countless others
>Oh, and I also like the vedas because they are the meme religious text of the week
Is this what happens when you only get redpilled because your friend told you to, you start mocking people who actually talk about stuff like race and the JQ?

Not sure how he can blame Sam Hyde for the show getting canned when he mouthed "Vote Trump" in the end credits.

>>16139240
He loves philosophy what are you talking about? Just simply he believes in much of its talking to be useless. His reading list is covered with Heidegger and Nietzsche and Augustine and the likes.

This economy of young men wanting to find direction by making arguments and asking them to be proven wrong is just sad. If you want to believe something, put some work into understanding it.

>>16139250
Did you watch the video? He literally tells people not to read Nietschze.

Either he is mentally ill, he never read any of it in the first place or it's some gay gnostic larp about keeping "enlightenment" hidden from the masses.

>>16139224
They're still together.
I felt like there's been times when he was in touch with something, but it's gone now, and it has become habitual, an ego thing.

>>16139250
>this brainlet, who doesn't know german and has never extensively studied Plato, Aristotle and Kant can understand a book written by Heidegger
This is the equivalent of a 14yo pretrntious girl pretending to have read Hegel

>>16138968
Who the fuck is this guy? The video had zero philosophical content. Is this kind of vapid plablum that zoomers enjoy?

>>16139273
It's in the way that he talks, I hate to think how many low IQ and gullible people who would otherwise have gone down a genuine rabbit hole will be trapped in the gay gnostic shite because the MDE guy who sounds smart to dumb people because he paused after he said something.

You can see it in this scene, if you're perceptive then you'll see the similarities;

check this out though

>>16139288
>>16139314
It honestly just feels like he wants to have a happy and non-corrosive stream and content for people. Who gives a damn about philosophical particularity in him.

>>16139401
He's spreading gnosticism under the guise of Christianity; specifically to a group of people who otherwise would have been the type to watch Sam Hyde; how is this harmless?

>>16139410
It's not really Gnosticism, it's an emotion of an imminent life-affirming Gnosticism, if it were taken farther than that present-current of appreciation, i.e. mirth or just entertaining content.

>>16139421
>bro it's not real Satanism, it's just atheism!
He also mocks people who talk about political issues.

The term "help or get out of the way" comes to mind, in regards to both politics and more importantly Christianity.

>>16139052
>You guys should check out his book list
pic? where do i see this

>>16138968
BASED CHARLSPOSTER

>>16139454
I'm not a Gnostic, but Gnosticism isn't Satanism you retard and Charls talks about Christ as an ideal constantly.

>>16139480
I dunno someone's gonna have to link it as I couldn't find it by a google search.

>>16139189
>not reading the based Koran

I subbed to his charls.world site and apparently the transaction never went through even though I had a receipt from paypal saying that it did. The page just kept saying “subscription pending” for a few days until it said that it failed. Never got access to the content and never got any response from a support team. I guess I will have to try to get my money back via paypal.

>>16138968
All philosophy is useless, been that way since Aristotle; subjecting it to a principle of utility is for slaves.

>>16139264
>He literally tells people not to read Nietzsche.

Cumstache is a waste of time

>>16138968
How is he wrong?

Most of philosophy is just baseless wanking or system-building towards nothing.

>>16139634
This is hilariously /lit/pilled

>>16139037
please link some of this

He isn't wrong. We've tamed our intelligence, given to us to improve at simple tasks like finding food and shelter, molded it into conceptualizing death and set the stage for nihilism, from which our modern society is sick of.

>>16138968
Quintessentially American.

>>16139634
Thanks man.

>>16139707
>This is hilariously /lit/pilled
Well they were all parodying themselves in this vid so it's likely he browses /lit/: https://youtu.be/EXdU1O0lQko?t=350

>>16139634
how the fuck does this have book of the new sun but not the soldier series

>>16139604
Sounds like you got scammed

>>16139604
i got access but the site was so badly made that my internet could not handle it

>>16138984
What about that rich English schizo guy that had a Youtube channel spammed here a few months ago? Is he still around?

>>16139634
how is neitzsche even in there when charls doesnt like him, and why would baudrillard and tons of other contemporary philosophy by there when charls disowns that too? also why does he like BotNS so much when the overarching moral of the story is literally the same as Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot, which Charls reviles?

>>16140271
He's a cultured man, he reads a lot.

>>16139314
but if not charls it would have been someone else even more dumb and more ignorant, like molyneux or god forbid sam hyde. charls didnt make them dumb. and at least he has some decent, albeit contradictory, stoic morals/parables that he constantly spouts. like tending to your own garden, not worrying too much about the outside world. not shitflinging and being a rage zombie all the time (altho charls does suspiciously sound like one in every video). more stoicism, etc. which isn't a bad look as far as looks go

>that book list

Wait is he pretending that he doesn't know much about philosophy when he does?

>>16140325
unless this is literally just a "books ive read" list, and isnt some endorsement of books he thinks you should read, i highly doubt he made that list or has anything to do with it

>>16140325
Because he didn't actually read any of these books. These are just the standard thrown out in internet right wing circles

>>16138968
modern philosophy is worthwhile as an intellectual exercise
while my driver brings me home from my job at the hedgefund to my massive penthouse manhattan mansion, i stretch my legs in the back of my lamborghini limoseen and sometimes indulges myself by flicking through some light reading - today it was Hegel, Kant, and Spinoza. i burn the books when im done with them, as i memorize them instantly, and therefore can reread as i please. yesterday my fourth wife asked me how philosophers make money. i replied, they dont. we guffawed and guffawed. to quote Spinoza: "i dont make money."

To go to bed forever!

Nothing new under the sun.

He will not have read any of it, it is purely performative, he was a comedian and an actor after all.

I'm having a hard time picturing the unironic fan of Charls' streams, except that that fan is probably 19 and at least a 2 on the Kinsey scale.

>>16139254

Do you even dialectic?

>>16140325
I'm an mdehead historian goon who spent his high school years being a schizo for sam.

The only books Charles extremely endorsed is the Space Trilogy by CS Lewis. And another fantasy book that escapes my mind at the very typing second.

Sam used to recommend the Dilbert orange book a lot "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big".

>>16138968
philosophy is useless.

>>16140716

He also endorsed Gene Wolff

>>16140716
>And another fantasy book that escapes my mind at the very typing second.

Shadow of the Torturer, IIRC

>>16138968
Yes if philosophy can be broadcasted via a television nothing about it can be trusted.

>>16140701
Kinsey scale?

>>16140701
lol

>>16139878

You could do some serious heady analysis of MDE. Not necessarily because the content itself is robust, but more that it appears to come from a very different place. It projects a different attitude

>ITT: assblasted philosophy readers upset that their time was all wasted on bullshit that hasn't produced anything good for the world

admit it anons, alot of it is useless bullshit.

And fuck Hegelians, you're a bunch of annoying cunts.

>>16140843
I don't think philosophy readers believe that their philosophizing or reading about philosophy facilitates anything that would be considered to have practical or worldly utility.

>>16140928
It is equally as useless as the knowledge of unearned wisdom it contains to be used even in the impractical sense of aiding thoughts and coping with reality.

In fact its all cope.

>>16140928
philosophy cured my depression

>>16138968
wtf happened to his hair

>>16138968
You are useless to Demons without belief. Becoming useless makes you horny in the afterlife.

Ill add my 5 cents. I dont know who really takes his ramblings seriously. I mean i like him i watched MDE and his rants but he is nothing more than a monkey for entertainment. He talks shit as everybody else here, but he does it on camera with psychotic face and weird manners. Im sorry for all the people who want to be like him or Sam...

Charls lived long enough to see his performance art turn into an actual schizo rambling
