  2. What I like about Nietzsche's concept of eternal recurrence is that it means he'll continue getting rejected by Lou Salomé for all eternity.

  3. Life is so short, you'll never accomplish all of your dreams. For example, I feel like I'm never going to live eternally as a god on earth.

  4. Philosopher I'd like to have dinner with: Sartre. Philosopher I'd like to rummage through trash for food after the Apocalypse with: Žižek.

  5. Remember, time heals all wounds. Well, unless things just sort of go on a downward spiral. Then this is actually the best they'll ever be.

  6. Hegel's big mistake was believing that people care what's true.

  7. Remember, the more people hate, the more you need to love. And by "love", I mostly mean to agitate class antagonism, of course.

  8. MRW I set up the government to have checks and balances but it doesn't matter because everyone in every branch is a spineless careerist.

  9. I feel like this election will be used for years to come to teach students the dangers of electing a total fucking idiot to be President.

  10. Yes, the victory of communism is inevitable. But it should probably hurry the fuck up, because this planet might not be around much longer.

  11. I'm not sure the Hegelian dialectic ever took into account the effects of reality TV.

  12. The other day I woke up as an insect, and I was like, "holy shit I can't believe America elected a fascist reality TV star to be President."

  13. How to live an authentic life: 1. Always acknowledge freedom 2. Always acknowledge death 3. Always tell people how totally authentic you are

  14. Philosopher from the past I'd most want to meet? Merleau-Ponty. What? I can choose Merleau-Ponty, he's a legit philosopher! Fine. Aristotle.

  15. What's the major difference between Anarchists and Communists? Well, the communists will, on occasion, comb their hair.

  16. I feel like I'm going to be doing a lot more gazing into the abyss in the next few years.

  17. 400k Americans died in the 40s to destroy fascism. We remember them as "the greatest generation." I wonder what they'll call our generation?

  18. Simone de Beauvoir, on intellectuals who attempt to withdraw from the events of the world into their "purely contemplative" work:

  19. Religion denier: God isn't real! Science denier: climate change isn't real! Philosophy denier: questions aren't real!
