that's a jew bro. they always promote aborting their host nation
>looks at early life section of wikipedia
yep there it is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_Weil
>Weil was born in her parents' apartment in Paris on 3 February 1909, the daughter of Bernard Weil (1872–1955), a medical doctor from an agnostic Alsatian Jewish background, who moved to Paris after the German annexation of Alsace–Lorraine and Salomea "Selma" Reinherz (1879–1965), who was born into a Jewish family in Rostov-on-Don and raised in Belgium.

>Two prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but it is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link.
Dunno, she seems kind of cool for an atheist Jew who had Trotsky stay at her house.

a fucking retard is what she is

england’s greatest ally.

>>25002399
France was the first country to legalize sodomy long before her
Could partly be because of how deeply embedded jews are in French society, many a "frenchman" is clearly what would once have been called a converso

>>25002403
napoleon gave them civil equality.

That's Simone Veil, different person

Let's think for a second.
What's the race with the highest verbal IQ? Ashkenazi Jews.
What's the gender with the highest verbal IQ? Female.

>>25002310
She was just a garden variety moron t b h

>>25002310
Jewess who concerted to Catholicism and got an early death to tuberculosis for her troubles.

>>25002310
esoteric philhellene and a jewish convert. think karl popper or spinoza but more schizophrenic

Always assumed she was just too dumb for math and decided to playroll as a 3rd-rate Pascal. C’est raté.

Verbal IQ doesn't mean much when the movers and shakers of society are quantifiers, holding up the scaffolding in the background. Women are really only good as taboo enforcement and a lot of that is really unnecessary.

I'm supposed to read a book, not engage with the deep state.

He's right, Weil was just a mong and her whole career in the Spanish Civil War is proof
>>
>>25002310
Just another left-wing Jewish intellectual.

Perhaps slightly more kind-hearted by nature than some of them, but she's still poison.
>>
>>25003182
You're poisoned.

>>25002310
She's a catholic, but not baptized. "La pesanteur et la grâce" is intuitions and meditations about christianity, "Attente de Dieu" is essays about christianity and letters she wrote to a priest friend of hers about theology (and her not being baptized and not wanting to).
A bit mystical, but more clear and clever than most religious writers, 10/10 would recommend

so that means literature is inherently... gay

wrong - it’s inherently trans.

Simone De Beauvoir & Simone Weil interaction from "Memoirs of a dutiful daughter"

"My meeting with Simone Weil.

While preparing to enter the Normale — the training-college in Paris for professoriates - she was taking the same examinations as myself at the Sorbonne.

She intrigued me because of her great reputation for intelligence and her bizarre get-up; she would stroll round the courtyard of the Sorbonne attended by a group of Alain’s old pupils; she always carried in the one pocket of her dark-grey overall a copy of Libres Propos and in the other a copy of Humanite.

A great famine had broken out in China, and I was told that when she heard the news she had wept: these tears compelled my respect much more than her gifts as a philosopher. I envied her for having a heart that could beat right across the world.

I managed to get near her one day. I don’t know how the conversation got started; she declared in no uncertain tones that only one thing mattered in the world today: the Revolution which would feed all the starving people of the earth. I retorted, no less peremptorily, that the problem was not to make men happy, but to find the reason for their existence.

She looked me up and down: ‘It’s easy to see you’ve never gone hungry,’ she snapped. Our relationship did not go any further. I realized that she had classified me as ‘a high-minded little bourgeois’, and this annoyed me, just as I used to be annoyed whenever Mademoiselle Litt attributed certain tastes I had to the fact that I was only a child; I believed that I had freed myself from the bonds of my class: I didn’t want to be anyone else but myself."

Note, in 1928, both took the agrégation de philosophie, the notoriously competitive French national exam. Simone Weil ranked first. Simone de Beauvoir ranked second.
