Dalai Llama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, said: Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.

"I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.

And we're very, very pissed off — Chuck Palahniuk
The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are. — HL Mencken

Actual nihilists kill people and then kill themselves, clearly you don't live up to your beliefs (though you presume them to be truths (and as truth is superior to lowly scientific fact which deals with trivial physical phenomena) and so this is nothing more than intellectually fakery and is typical of idiot /lit/ 4channers.

Completely wrong and pretty embarrassing, but at least you still haven't had to put forth any ``philosophers of substance''! Keep being ashamed of your actual views though, I'm sure you're correct to be.

You're quite the pseudo-intellectual genius, aren't you? And where's your wikipedia page? HAH! I like how you think of yourself as a philosopher and computer scientist when you're neither and have yet to even really understand SICP. You know what happens to those types? They kill themselves (Uriel the urinal, etc),

I'm sorry you have to hide the way you think for fear of ridicule and feel the need to pretend to actually know something on programming bulletin boards.

I'm sorry for your projection, your insecurity is amusing. I'm sorry for the fact that you clearly do not know anything in the first place and spend your time copy/pasting stupid edgy quotes by ``philosophers'' (that are revered only by teenage netizens) to a site populated by no more than 10 people

Just stop resisting and give me some thought with substance, something to validate your claims earlier. Oh wait, you can't, all you can do is hand out empty, pompous ``ridicule.''

The fact you intuitively don't recognize what is of substance and what isn't shows me how much of a stupid fucker you are.

Name: Anonymous 2014-05-22 0:37

You don't know what I recognize as of substance or not, and ultimately right now this isn't about me. It's about your alarming inability to provide anything of substance.

The fact you say that I am pompous shows me to be superior as pompousness is an indication of superiority.

Try not to take these quotes so personally. Relax a bit. Here is some more Ligotti to soothe your troubles:

We are the species that knows too much to content ourselves with merely surviving, reproducing, dying—and nothing else. We want there to be more to it than that, or to think there is. This is the tragedy: consciousness has forced us into the paradoxical position of uselessly striving to be something other than what we are—hunks of spoiling flesh on crumbling bones.

I hope you enjoyed that >>48-kun, I will continue to provide more.

4chan offshoot bulletin board pompousness is a lot more likely to be an indication of extreme insecurity, though, as is not being able to provide a single example of your idea of ``substantive thought'' (besides ``real nihilists kill people XDD'') and having to hide behind posts that say nothing to save anonymous face.

Retardtti is just copy/pasting zapffe (another retard of no substance) and spouting baseless assertions and purple prose

Yes, you watch shit like steve brule and think you know anything about anything.

I have a degree in knowing when someone is a retard who knows nothing.

(It's when they can't provide a single example of ``substantive thought'' as they define it. Seriously, why can't you provide an example? (I know why.))

If you know why then why is it? I am amused by this thread and you idiot pseudo-intellectuals trying to be something you are not.

Because you're scared it will diminish the ``anonymous superiority'' you're desperately (and pathetically) trying to obtain in this thread, ironically without saying anything of substance.

Why would I try to obtain something that I already have as it is a birth right?

You have yet to demonstrate your encyclopedic knowledge, >>58-kun.
What you have demonstrated is a tendency to become hysterical at the sight of thoughts you dislike. You are a child who cannot control himself, >>58-kun. Improve your character.

Because you're stupid and you hide it through empty criticism without putting forth any positive contribution to avoid receiving criticism yourself. If you were truly superior you could post ``substantive thought'' confidently. You aren't, so you can't. You're a beta fag who knows nothing and is afraid to put what he thinks out there. It's really simple. You're inferior as fuck.

Your intuition of me possessing encyclopedic knowledge is correct though it is not organized. Hysteria is sign of my intuitive and moody, artist and profound, mind. I may be a child but at least I am not a teenage pseudo-intellectual. Calling people stupid Japanese titles on a stupid obscure website is a sign of you needing to improve your LIFE.

You being from 4chan is confirmed, stupid teenage cretin. Try to get near those ``alpha'' high school jocks and you'll be in for a nice ass raping as you are not what you think you are. I also find it ironic that you get emotional about me not putting forth anything ``positive'', look what you copy/paste, dumbass.

That's exactly what you've shown yourself to be. You act like you know more than others through the pseudo-intellectual act of empty negative name dropping e.g. ``bataille has some substance but not much'' and being unable to show any real intelligence or substantive knowledge at all.

Name: Anonymous 2014-05-22 1:09

Indeed, >>67-hime. I was just about to ask him what quotes he likes. He will probably reply that quotes are for inferior people, in which case what is he doing in this thread?
He is in this thread to sow discord. He has brought disharmony to our perfect thread o' quotes. He must be very pleased with himself.

Copy/pasting quotes on a stupid forum is not a sign of real intelligent or substantive knowledge at all.

You being from 4chan is confirmed
Every single person on this site is from 4chan.

Quotes are not systematized knowledge and therefore inferior. All of them are either baseless asseverations (aphorisms) or taken out of context. People who post about them on the internet are pseudo-intellectuals.

>>74
Not really, and plus there is being from 4chan and there is being a 4channer. Using any sort of memes shows one to be a 4channer (or redditor/or shitty internet ``culture'' type)

What a dull position. I can see why you were so hesitant to provide examples of ``thought of substance'' earlier.

Name: Anonymous 2014-05-22 1:21

>>75-kouhai, you are so arrogant and deluded you do not see how everything you have said applies to you. You are an agent of discord and disunity.

I want this to be a board of peace and acceptance, of sharing code and being supportive. You just want to be destructive. I submit that it is you who needs to improve his character and his habits.
