I'm something of a brainlet reading philosophy. I don't claim it makes me smart compared with the layman or especially real intellectuals, but it does make me better able to construct arguments.

It makes me smartER, not smart.

OP here, yeah yeah yeah i'll get there, only so many hours in the day famalams... Lost my copy of theban plays, was gonna take a pic of my 'will get to it' stack that has several greeks and shakepeare on it.. Much more into early atomic era scifi, and early 1700s era poetry for now.

I don't want to be an honerary humanities of philosophy master, Accelerationism just seems cool as fuck..

Why can't it be a left wing thing? why does it have to be 'all the bad of capitalism' ? why can't the globalism agents create a singularity to take over the world with? maybe I should start with the greeks for that answer. ;)

When did the brainlets post on this board? I literally don't understand what he's saying but I can tell it's supposed to be an insult by the pitch of his grunting.

pic related, it's him.

we're reaching levels of brainlet that shouldn't even be possible

'the more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in him will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates; the more perfectly will the mind digest and transmute the passions which are its material' - T.S Eliot
I need some help understanding what he means here. Is he saying that the ideal artist or writer is someone who doesn't write on emotion and suffering?

Also, can anyone explain the Freudian Thing and Lacan's 'symptom' to me? Every source I find just kind of skates over the topics.

Pic related. It's me.
