Actually, Areté is a Greek concept "invented" before Christianity. Did you know Christianity started off as a sect? It really makes you think,doesn't it?

Heh... not bad, kid. Not bad at all. Your meme, I mean. It's not bad. A good first attempt. It's plenty dank... I can tell it's got some thought behind it... lots of quotable material...
But memeing isn't all sunshine and rainbows, kid. You're skilled... that much I can tell. But do you have what it takes to be a Memester? To join those esteemed meme ranks? To call yourself a member of the Ruseman's Corps? Memeing takes talent, that much is true. But more than that it takes heart. The world-class Memesters - I mean the big guys, like Johnny Hammersticks and Billy Kuahana - they're out there day and night, burning the midnight meme-oil, working tirelessly to craft that next big meme.
And you know what, kid? 99 times out of a hundred, that new meme fails. Someone dismisses it as bait, or says it's "tryhard," or ignores it as they copy/paste the latest shitpost copypasta dreamt up by those sorry excuses for cut-rate memers over at reddit. The Meme Game is rough, kid, and I don't just mean the one you just lost :^). It's a rough business, and for every artisan meme you craft in your meme bakery, some cocksucker at 9gag has a picture of a duck or some shit that a million different Johnny No-Names will attach a milion different captions to. Chin up, kid. Don't get all mopey on me. You've got skill. You've got talent. You just need to show your drive.
See you on the boards...

First half of Fight Club Tyler Durden was a really cool guy desu. A sleazy movie projectionalist who makes a living making soap who lives out a bohemian lifestyle and is charismatic enough to convince strangers to fight under a bar for the fun of it sounds like a fun person to be for a while.

It all went downhill when he became a anti-consumerist cult leader though. Should've just stuck to fighting and working for a car insurance company if you ask me.

>> No.8770013

>>8770005
That's kinda the point of the movie, how the narrator rejects Durden's extremist ideology and recognizes his hypocrisy. I would've followed him even after his mental breakdown though.

My ideal self would probably be the way I am now, with all my interests and beliefs but more fit and not caring about others opinions, it is something I'm working on today but I feel like the idea is better as a perfect image I work towards to keep me focus rather than a goal I can reach ASAP
I would also welcome a singular goal to focus on and the will and means to follow it, something I feel like I currently don't have completely
