Is it wrong for me to say I loved him so much???
Not as much as McCarthy fans love abuse, that’s for sure.
>>25366238>McCarthy fans love abuseWhat does that mean
What the's appeal of this guy? The only thing I know is that some character from The Office was named after him.
>>25366234I can't remember his name for some reason and I see his initials a lot so in my head he's permanently labeled "Dallas-Fort-Worth airport"
Yeah DFW was a fruitcake with a very severe genius complex, he was absolutely obsessed with being perceived as a genius and it hollowed out his soul and ruined him and killed him.
>>25366234why did he wear the doorag
>>25366234Sex pest.
>>25367960because he sweated too much>>25366234kinda faggy. He'd say its kinda faggy. he said a lot of things were faggy in infinite jest.
>>25366234DFW was a cool fella wish he was still with us
>>25368085he would have hated absolutely everything.
>>25368164He would've been a big fan of generative AI
>>25367959He went into extensive detail on how he disliked smart people who knew they were smart and wanted others to know how smart they were. It was a constant worry of his to come across that way.
>>25366375He's the retarded ESL beaner who has been samefagging in all McCarthy threads recently even though he hasn't read him. He got brutally raped, this is his way of coping
>>25369058>retarded ESL beanerBut enough about yourself>McCarthy threadsThis isn’t a McCarthy thread. Go find your boogeyman somewhere else, he’s probably with your whore mother.
>>25369082>so brutally raped and mindbroken that he has to pretend to be me to get a winLmao. "Not your boogeyman". You were never the boogeyman, just my rapevictim lol.>un retrasado, hijo de puta y mexicano de mierda se pone a hacerse pasar por otros usuarios otra vez con una excusa falsa y mal hecha >sigue sin haber respuesta en este hilo a la prueba irrefutable de que Cuckner plagió a Joyce Tu madre es una puta que ha chupado tantas pollas que ahora tiene la boca con forma de boquilla. No bebe agua, sino leche. No escupe saliva, sino el semen que ha estado tragando a montones durante días. Siempre tiene el coño lleno y, cuando no está chupando pollas o follando, suele estar embarazada y pariendo a los engendros más disgénicos que el mundo haya visto jamás (como tú). La mayor ironía es que, si hubiera conocido a McCarthy, probablemente se habría librado de tal destino; pero quién sabe, quizá en el fondo siempre fue la mayor puta de todas.
>>25369082>the retarded beaner whoreson can't even keep his butthurt in check and immediately gives away his samefagging identityLol. Me and my dozen buddies just got done gangfucking your whore of a mother btw. You're probably going to get some half siblings out of it lol. Nothing new for your whoreborn ass ig.
>>25369161>>25369182Whoah ESL meltyAlso thanks for confirming your mom’s a whore.

>>25370980>>25371010>ESL meltdownFunny how all it took was calling your mom a whore repeatedly to get you to speak your native language. Thanks for conceding, Paco.

you just know he wouldve been hilarious to behold with a twitter. probably wouldve had jordan peterson level meltdowns constantly
>>25371562Corncub cuckholdry knows no bounds. He probably is already on there seething by himself.

>>25368934Yeah I watched the interview where he says "it's so tiring to read writing that is just trying to convey being smart" or something like that. This is a classic example of "the lady doth protest too much" I am afraid. What kind of shitbag puts the fundamental theorem of calculus in a footnote for his novel (a novel about a young and precociously talented genius who plays tennis hmmmm)? Infinite Jest should be titled "I'm the Smart-est".Once you realize what his overwhelming drive was it all becomes a transparent, sad farce. His last act on earth was to compile his draft of The Pale King and to conspicuously place it where it would be found, rescued with massive editing he himself could not do, and published to posthumous critical acclaim. I don't think people realize how dangerous it is to have a drive or will to be critically acclaimed and widely praised. It destroys well over half of writers, hence all the alcoholics and suicides among them. They become insufferable people as they redirect all of their gifts onto their singular narcissistic obsession. Naturally they do everything they can to conceal this obsession from their readers, but anyone who has been caught by this very same delusion can spot it fairly easily. Dave could've been a wonderful and beloved professor at a state school or a junior college with mild and humble success in publishing fiction. But that wasn't good enough for him, he needed to be seen alongside Melville and Charles Dickens to feel a right to exist. Very sad. Mediocre critics enabled him.
>>25371632In his story Good Old Neon he admits to all of this.
>>25371632The envy and jealousy that radiates from this post is quite telling about the person who wrote it.
>>25369082mad and insecure
Daily reminder that It Can't Happen Here > Brave New World
>>25372196Has nothing to do with anything but ok
>>25372185Why would I be jealous of a mentally disturbed writer who died by suicide at a young age? I wish to live long, have healthy and happy relationships and feel comfortable in my skin. I also cannot imagine why anyone would desire to be famous at this point in history, it's clearly a very dangerous position to be in that comes with an ungodly amount of social and psychological difficulty.
>>25366234Set theory algorithm
>>25371632>What kind of shitbag puts the fundamental theorem of calculus in a footnote for his novel (a novel about a young and precociously talented genius who plays tennis hmmmm)?Would you rather have him assume you know it from memory? I stopped reading your post here at this question. Just because someone else knows something you don't you think that's pretentious? You better read books where the author knows less than you to not feel intimidated? I could come up with endless questions to how fucked up this single cry of yours is gay as fuck.btw I'm a math major lol suck it. dosto was an engineer, best ideas comes from rigorous contemplation of reality meeting raw life experience. not just muh feelings inside and critical bullshit theory
>>25375495bugman rage
>>25375495I also majored in mathematics. It was a complete waste of time, I literally just did it to prove to myself that I'm smart because like DFW I was insecure about being smart. I wanted to be a genius so I felt the need to master this material that I have no native curiosity in. Oh well. Now I am a housepainter.DFW trying to flex with FTC in a fucking novel is one of the saddest examples of human thought I ever came across to be honest
>>25366234I listened to a few interviews with this guy and it made me rethink my opinions. He seems genuinely just like a guy that wrote what he wanted to write. I think he was maybe a bit confused by the success of Infinite Jest or at least kind of put off by it in the sense that it generated this culture of performative reader. I also noticed how the interviewers were always aggressively trying to make him feel like he wasn’t a great author, like trying to jab at an ego that wasn’t even there. In one of the discussions he kept saying how he would be down to get lunch and take two hours to explain all the nuance of the book and the interviewer didn’t seem interested at all in taking him up on this offer. Too genuine a guy for too pretentious of a period in American art.
>>25366234No probably a little gay though
>>25372185>he needed to be seen alongside Melville and Charles Dickens to feel a right to existyeah, you can't refute this. infinite jest isn't good enough to qualify as a modern classic and is mostly known for being overly long
>>25375947>I wanted to be a genius so I felt the need to master this material that I have no native curiosity in. Oh well. Now I am a housepainter.Bro what the fuck if you know math you can at least have a job in finance.
>>25375953A hallmark of good writing (and this is well known by writers) is that you not need to explain it. If the text requires additional context or information outside of itself in order to be understood it is a failure. A hallmark of good comprehension (and this is well known by teachers) is the ability to explain a topic succinctly, to simplify it as needed and to adjust the explanation to the situation/student at hand. Requesting an additional two hours in the middle of an interview to explain a book you already let bloat to 1000 pages and required the novel use (pun not intended) of 150 pages of footnotes is nothing short of pathetic and embarrassing.
>>25376242I have zero bullshit tolerance, I'm persona no grata in the corporate world and have no clue how to balance an account. I like painting, it's simple and people are pleased with my work. Plus I can put my earbuds in all day and listen to music and podcasts. I don't have to do any bullshit or marketing, when the neighbors see you up on a ladder painting nicely they come over and ask if you can paint their house next, about half the time. I have no coworkers and no boss and I take cash/zelle so I have no tax forms to fill out and no bullshit. It's honestly working out well, I could have done a lot worse.
>>25375947>It was a complete waste of timeyou're a big guy>Now I am a housepainter.for youYou see, I'm glad I studied it, because otherwise I would shy from understanding how current AI works, even if I end up working in something else with no math. senior mathematics are extremely basic for the world we live in, it's cool to know.I'd like to either live teaching shit like your pic, advanced calculus, mathematical analysis, etc. I'm working on it. But right now reality looks grim to my family and I think I will get into finance / quant shit rather.>>25376242I've had a classmate that went work at a car tire shop after graduation. Not everyone is fit for the mental burnout it gives. Plus some people really "just passed" and didn't get any of it so they can't turn the knowledge into profit. Not saying that anon didn't. But many could pass and not think of anything, specially those that ran away from analysis and chose retarded topics like algebra-heavy math.
>>25376310real numbers are fake and gay just like david foster wallace
