Cioran in Paris (with Four Tet music)

[@george-rq8uy]

Jesus died for us. Cioran lived for us.

[@darkcnotion]

Exacto

[@lepetitchat123]

He didn't live for anyone

[@John-ir4id]

If either of those are true, it was a tremendous waste of life.

[@dethkon]

Wonderful metaphor! By contrasting the two, it makes one question which was the greater sacrifice…

[@dethkon]

@@lepetitchat123I know that he wrote selfishly, “to postpone suicide.” And the 4 books he published were admittedly purely for money. However, the fact remains that those four books were indeed published, and that they were meant to be read by us. By you, by me. Just like the Nazarene’s legendary martyrdom, the Symbolic justification for this act belongs to the public now, and will be debated and argued, in certain circles, with just as much passion as within Christian circles. Just because part of Cioran’s work now belongs to Humanity doesn’t cheapen the quality of it, nor does it cast suspicion on the man’s intent. After all, the author was “dead” the moment it was submitted for publication.

[@Firespectrum122]

One thing bothers me above all else in this video - that he just walks casually among hundreds of other people without a single person knowing who he is or the depths of what he has written. To someone who knows who he is, he is probably one of the most extraordinary men to have ever lived. But here he is just a face among faces. It's so strange to me that humanity can possess such depths of feeling and language, a whole universe of inner worlds within every mind, and we will never know any of them fully. Not Cioran, not the lady that runs past him, not a single person out of the hundreds we see in this video. We are truly alone, and most of all when we are surrounded by our own kind.

[@diglo123]

Well put sir.

[@gvnpl2]

Maybe it wasn't even in his will to be so recognized and so he just accomplished his deeper desires to go back being nobody. By his appearances more in old age he has also shown that he reached old age, although he has always been tormented and had already passed by his twighlights, in an apparently serene look.anyway he had a pure class and i think his writes are among our closer classics.

[@santiagotarazona373]

Cioran was not interested in fame; but we all know that his writes are immortal. He was such an intelligent human being.

[@arze868]

If we could see ourselves as others see us, we would vanish on the spot. - Emil M. Cioran

[@pedroparamo7351]

what video did you see? There are a couple of people who recognize him in the street in this video.

[@MedranoHijo]

His rise is one of the most intriguing of many philosophers. This man never worked a day in his life, aside from being a teacher for one year only; And was a success he himself moved away from in the perspective of accolades. An ultimate edgelord with no modern weapons at the expense of humanity's mistakes. The academic definition of crucially profound. Emil Cioran

[@lepetitchat123]

Only in France can this kind of intellectuals survive ？

[@MedranoHijo]

No. It could seem that way because Europe is far more advanced in upkeeping traditions and culture while the West is despised while struggling to acknowledge its own filth regarding humanity. It would be harder for a great philosopher to survive in France since the country has holders of wealth who hold purchases in global water for refinery. France is apart of the global problem on why humanity cannot defy greed. A great philosopher of existentialism would have no care for what France defines itself as in regards to the expansion of resources, whereas maintaining policies that create injustices in other lands such as Africa.

[@MedranoHijo]

@@lepetitchat123 He was able to survive there because he mastered the basics of the country's culture. So much that it's hard for a born French writer to even imitate Cioran, if the writer is into philosophical input. Cioran could Settled in France because Germany was a bad outcome intuitively. And Great Britain would be no place for him to fit in, there was no point in going back to Romania after realizing that the first book was trash based on his own claims. He remained there because it was where he felt he belonged. Not because every aspiring "worthy" philosophical author should build there on that landmass of cultural distinction.

[@lepetitchat123]

@@MedranoHijo I thought he could survive there because France has a much stronger tradition for respecting and accommodating artists and philosophers. And he did write several books in his lifetime, so he didn't really "never work a day in his life"?

[@MedranoHijo]

@@lepetitchat123 You are actually correct. But I truly meant punching a clock or absolute physical labor. There's no records of Cioran ever really being a noble employee. Perhaps this may be of some use to you: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIbKe6CIqNaJnKc

[@Cynicland]

Contrary to common opinion, Cioran is NOT a depressing company, on the contrary, his writings are an explosion, like Nietzsche, Cioran too was a "dynamite". He inserted poetry in prose. I made a book review on his first work, On The Heights of Despair. I propose the idea that this is NOT a depressing book, but rather a serenade to life. I will soon post a clip in which I will explain his concept of suicide as a way to protect his freedom. And I also talk, in the end, about how Cioran helped me with my suicidal thoughts. It is because of him that I am still alive today. We're talking about a writer who fell in love when he was 75 years old (Friedgard Thoma, 35 years at that time), a writer who loved life and regreted not being a musician, nor, at least, as he rather puts it in his journal/notebooks (1957-1972), a poet. "Eternal poetry without words" (Cioran) For those of you interested, here's the clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ionTl5SwpNWkeLM

His scholarship ended in 1940...(not 1945) together with the end of the France occupied by Nazi Germany :-) ...he went back for a short time in Romania just to return in May 1941 as a "press attache" for the Romanian Ministry of Propaganda...he resisted with a "fix program" as a civil servant some three months...then being dismissed (too rebellious).

But how does he pay rent and buy food without never working expect one year as a teacher? Did he have a women who paid for him everything? I dont know more and more details i get out of his life, more interesting he gets for me. Specialy his look suits so great to his writings. Im fascinated!
