Best bit is when he knocks the picture with his testifying gestures

[@EclecticSceptic]

Amazing, thank you.

[@ElectricChaplain]

@psaunier10: I hope I'm not sounding like a mindless name dropper, so I'll make my point clear by saying that the blues, more so than the eternal recurrence and the Knight of Faith, speaks volumes about the tenacity and "eternal validity" of the human spirit against the sheer weight of mental, physical, emotional, and institutional death than any philosophical treatise.

[@ElectricChaplain]

@psaunier10: You see, West's definition of the blues is an evolution from Nietzsche's eternal recurrence and Kundera's denouncement of kitsch in The Unbearable Lightness of Being. West's definition of the blues is highly existentialist in nature.

[@ElectricChaplain]

@psaunier10: Well, not an "evolution", but when you look at other existentialist works like Kafka's The Trial or Kierkegaard's Knight of Faith in regard to Regine or so on the similarities are too interesting to scoff away as you are doing.

@psaunier10: It's a catastrophe that you can't appreciate this video and what West has to say. Go with your hubris Gloucester, but don't flaunt your blindness to those who want to see.

You and your dealer must be best friends. He is hooking you guys up with a potent stash.
