Are you seriously invoking Ayn Rand as a source of wisdom?
And that particularly solipsistic quote?
Oh look another "materialist" who relies on the pan-psychic influence of others to determine reality. How Jungian of you. Thatcher once said, "there is no society, only individuals." Do you disagree? I imagine so. Even Marx called out Commodity Fetishism but you put the greatest fetish of all on society and reality as something inherent. If reality is just an interplay of individuals, the truth proven by both Rand and Marx, then an individual is free to form their own reality away from your own.
You'll never know the true truth because you're still enslaved the collective unconsciousness.
Also, did you really think someone was actually identifying as anti-intellectual. Come on, I know you couldn't understand the the ironic Freud in your "I want dommy mommy to step on me" thread but this is ridiculous. Looks like you got owned on two fetishes, mommy and commodity.
You believe you are the Main Character of the universe and that everything ceases to exist when you die. And you're accusing me of believing in woo bullshit.
And you're such a scratched liberal that you started foaming at the mouth with some weird personal attack you've been holding on to, apparently, for weeks.
Solipsism is a helluva drug.
Man you really don't understand when people are doing bits. You think people would just go on the internet and not mean literally everything they type?
Hexbear needs a villian, don't you understand UlyssesT? You wouldn't be having half of the enjoyment in this conversation if I just did a normal comment. But now I got to do a silly bit and you got to pretend you're arguing with someone serious.
Discussion on the internet is inherently worthless because no one ever changes their opinions. It's a black box in which no matter the inputs, the outputs remain the same. Is it really so wrong then to lay down ideas like "seriousness" if it doesn't change anything? Your answer will be of course that I'm delusional and only doing this to cope or something because that's what your opinion started as. No matter what you or I say, we cannot change.
Stop posting and touch grass if you want truth, nothing here matters.
Being obnoxious and falling back to "it was just a bit" is tiresome and belongs in the dustbin of history right alongside the "ironic" nazis of 4chan. Insincere people like you can move the goalposts all you want but I just see the obnoxious part and stop there because that's all there usually is under those pretentious masks of irony.
You first, especially because of your masturbatory "I am internet Diogenes" LARPing attempts, be they bits or ironic or whatever you want to pretend they were.
Your internet nihilism is childish and about 20 years stale. 4chan is still open if you want to go somewhere that still praises internet nihilism.
If you're not being praised for your Diogenes LARP, bit or irony or whatever, nothing matters because all you care about is being praised for your bit/irony/very-smartness!
