I think the meme of the "writers barely disguised fetish" applies to this Bataille fellow- lol

I’ve never heard things so fucked explained this intellectually.

Bataille would be a cenobite if he could. I just get that vibe from his writing.

It's interesting that Frenchmen write the most horrific literature
DeSade
Boudillaire

Some of these existential philosophers use hundreds of thousands of words to express what can basically be summed up with several combinations of two words:“Humanity sucks”
“Life sucks”
“Art sucks”
etc….

Perspectives of celestial romance from the goat eyes of a black magician. Wowee!

[lorenfulghum]

it may be partially the translation, but sometimes it seems like these french philosophers speak in assumptions as a first language. Each assumption building upon the previous. "Communication requires loyalty" - what? why? "... the knowledge of evil, [which] is the basis of intense communication" -- since when??? It's not so much that any one of these assumptions is necessarily false, but it's the unreasonable certainty with which they are used to formulate arguments.

Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just disappear
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?

When a man refuses to follow few simple rules of being, he is forced to explain him self in a complicated word salad.

Worrying enough to make a whole Azov battalion constipated.

[ronsoderstrom]

Any recomendation for background music while playing this video?

[luisescalante]

Have you done a video on geotrauma yet?

[adamant]

Schopenhauer said this before him and before Nietzsche. Humorously speculating that this world and all its woes and misfortune could well be the result of a fallen state, or our punishment for transgressions committed in another world.
