Thank you for the upload

Some people describe themselves as "redpilled". I've gone full circle and now just want to forget and live my life in blissful ignorance. What else can you do really? Either drive yourself insane trying to keep up with all the words ills or just focus on controlling the good around you, in your own little slice of the world.

Im the one btw i can do magic and wonders and i can make a reality everything that was said on this video. Take care and find me Let the heaven begin

The peasants long before the enlightenment knew destituiton or poverty was found when one began to earn a wage.

Im confused on liberalism being credited with what actually was the glorious peasantry....artisans, craftsmen, guilds, and susbistence farming.

Thank you Jo Rogan

Did Joe Rogan bring anyone else here?

I love the concept or what the book is about, but I can’t with the word salad. Probably a character flaw, but yeah ):

Thanks so much! :)

In a funny way, this book (and a lot of Thomas Ligotti's work) has helped me immensely....I used to always wake up each day looking for a higher purpose, looking for the good in others, a connection with people and hoping that by having a big heart, i would somehow become fulfilled.. recently I got out of a 12 year relationship with a woman who I loved with all of my heart, missed, cried over, helped out, felt betrayed over, etc..only to recently (finally) discover that my love was never reciprocated, she in fact never did miss me and my love was only ever measured by the things I could offer...as soon as I needed help, became ill, or needed support; poof, she disappeared.. every time. Reading this book has made me realize, there really isn't an answer or ultimate "fulfillment" in life, there is no reward for being good or big-hearted, and there is no point in expecting anything like a meaningful connection or to find the good in other people. Now I say ; "f*ck it, I don't go out each day expecting anything good from the world or from anyone else, I'm just gunna be selfish, be isolated (master loneliness , because there's no point in having hope in connecting with others anyhow) and do whatever I want to do in order to feel these momentarily feelings oh "happiness". It's actually alot more satisfying than waking up each day filled with "hope", looking for the good that doesn't exist in people or in life, only to feel disappointed and exhausted at the end of each day. It's true that consciousness (as far as looking for a purpose or looking for good in others) is a nightmare, also having a big heart is actually a curse

Hearing the reader drink and swallow periodically is very off putting 🤮 Mute your mic

So essentially we buy paper with writing on it to print more paper money. Yup folks you heard it right. It's mickey mouse money.

Is the town Marseille?

Still early on in the reading and I'm thinking a lot of the difference in style with The Stranger.

the audio :(

2 hrs in and this is as boring as a hand job from R2D2 . Cold metallic blip bleep from the autistic inheritance of a blood sucking fantasy hero pumping legless sidekick.

"I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you, a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries, a world where anything is possible. Where we go from there, is a choice I leave to you." ~ Neo, The Matrix

Brilliant book loved it. Enjoyment of the absurd.

*I always watch this on loop when eating steak.*

Wonderful stuff, thank you for the audiobook (:

Wow, my boss is more powerful than Starlin because of a dresscode and scheduled bathroom breaks

why can't they turn this into a movie already

Well read, very fun and visceral to listen to.

Ligotti is like a drug to me, deflates the hot air built up inside

After 20 years i finally learned how to sleep now I don't care where I go.

Listening to Uncle Noam is very calming

Was Scott in a hurry? I don't understand why the quoted texts shown on the slide are not read out carefully, accurately, and in full. What's the point of doing that, even for people in actual attendance?

Hey wonkmonk, I just finished listening to Conspiracy by Ligotti. Now that I know who Zapffe is, I'm going to listen to this. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your reading style and dedication to this. I was blown away by the book. It's the first time I really felt validated in my feelings about life.

What a simp lol, and I don't mean Elon.

Escape the matrix

what a story, mark !

That is exactly what MMT says about.

This guy is basically preaching idealism and has zero proof for any of this.. nice one Joscha I bet if he was getting punched in the face multiple times hed quicky accept that the physical world does exist independently of him or his perception

Great teacher! 🎉🎉

One of the most important intellectuals of the 20th and 21st centuries vs. a multi-level marketer. Hmmmm.

Zachary Reed needs some credit as I listened to the official audiobook and he's done a much better job.

He'll yeah

His definition makes way more sense to me…(and if the other was true, how would spontaneous artists even exist? It doesn’t make sense…) Professional sports in general are the perfect example of control vs chaotic randomness.(and may be controlled to extent, however that is through free will, lol)

It was not formerly seen as right, it was seen as an attack on your dignity, freedom and humanity. And people are not beginning to realise that wage slavery is wrong, they protect it as they have been indoctrinated to do

surprised this has no comments. is this dennetts last interview ever?

This is brilliant !!!!

The greatness
