>>25466540>what if a chud and pseud had a child and he was spanish
>>25466540I don't even acknowledge her
entry level sophistry
>>25466540>The enemies of freedom are philosophy, religion, and political ideology. Its friends are literature and science."lol
>>25466540>>"If Germany had understand Don Quixote it would have saved itself 2 world wars"Does he elaborate? I don't understand Don Quixote. I need help avoiding my world war.
>>25466540>What does /lit/ make of this guy?Not much, based on those quotes.
>>25466540>"Those who seek pleasure should buy a dildo, for art, literature and music does not have the enjoyment of people as it's objective"Doesn’t this nigga also think that the best book ever written is Don Quixote, a book that is significantly aiming to comedically entertain and has shit and puke humour in it like a 00s gross out comedy? I’m not even saying he’s wrong about DQ being the best but him saying this proves he’s a retarded pseud hypocrite, as does>"Philosophy is the religion of those who do not feel comfortable with that of their parents"Combined with>"The enemies of freedom are philosophy, religion, and political ideology. It's friends are literature and science."And>"If Germany had understand Don Quixote it would have saved itself 2 world wars"Less than a hundred years ago his country was ripping itself apart in a bloody civil war. This sounds like more of his characteristic seethe that he’s 300 years too late for his nation to be geopolitically relevant.
>>25466540>"The enemies of freedom are philosophy, religion, and political ideology. It's friends are literature and science."Depends on your definition of freedom.
>>25466887His argument is that English, French, German, and a host of other languages are underdeveloped and thus their native speakers struggle to grasp complexity and nuance. He uses Don Quixote as the most prominent example as he believes that one cannot truly understand Quixote unless it is read in "proper Spanish" (meaning, old Spanish, not its modern iteration)Yes, he is that retarded.
>>25466894Art isn't utilitarian and is trascendental.Whetever the author intention, message or context was when making a work, it eventually breaks itself from the work. DQ may have been made to entertain, but whether someone finds it entertaining is a different thing.
There really are no leftists as awful as Spanish leftists. Franco didn't kill enough of them. CLEARLY he didn't kill enough of them since they managed to start worming their way back into power the minute he was dead.
>>25466540>>"The enemies of freedom are philosophy, religion, and political ideology. It's friends are literature and science."Lol.
>the thing I spend time doing is the most important thing in the world actually
>>25466540What is the point of reading the quixote when this pathetic bitter faggot remains a pathetic bitter faggot after reading that shit countless times?Also>The chinks will become the new world hegemon>We must seduce them like the greeks did with the romans>If they are smart they will see the superiority of spanish culture and literaturelmao
>>25467094Way more Chinese tourists go to Italy than go to Spain, if there's a nation in Europe that's going to be seducing the Ching-Chong's it's not gonna be the Spanish.
>>25467083If it wasn't the most important thing in the world why would I be doing it
>>25466540>>"Those who seek pleasure should buy a dildo, for art, literature and music does not have the enjoyment of people as it's objective"I would say this is correct, if not to point out that jumping to equating dildos to pleasure strikes me as odd.>>"Literature demands much more intelligence than medicine, or mathematics"In terms of what is required of you to partake in and understand and produce quality literature, there are some traits that shine more in that endeavor than in- at the very least- the study of modern medicine and science.Intelligence has to be clearly and strictly defined, though, lest you sound like a tumblr faggot.>>"Philosophy is the religion of those who do not feel comfortable with that of their parents"Tumblr faggot quote that is meaningless. Again one has to wonder what is meant by "intelligence" if it does not materialize through curiosity and study of the world and its underpinnings. It sounds like this tumblr faggot professes that such studies are mere distractions from what is truly important (he'd say literature I suppose) without realizing that what if anything makes literature great is the philosophical thought, overt or covert, that lies behind it.>>"The enemies of freedom are philosophy, religion, and political ideology. It's friends are literature and science.Quite true to a point. Another anon has already pointed out that at least some types of freedom are not to be sought after, so I'll just point out that to say that science is liberating is dumb tumblr faggot shit.The other 2 have been addressed I suppose
>>25467094He proclaims to be at least, not bitter, and comfortable with his life. Another quote of his is:>Happiness consist of living without hurting in its absence.And I can't remember others but he is a big defender of true love, and claims to love his wife "truly". So it would be hypocritical for him to say he is unhappy, when looking at these quotes that is.
I don't get why anyone would seethe at philosophy.
>>25467098I heard someone who went to visit Barcelona. She found a Chinese restaurant. Italy has all the nicest architecture, but they're all around.
>>25467131because you are a retarded midwit
>>25466540>it's>It's
>>25467051>director of history's biggest mind-control project gets to define freedomLMAO
>>25467066I agree that art is transcendental and not utilitarian, but the pleasure of the spirit from art is still pleasure, moreover, the quote said >art, literature and music does not have the enjoyment of people as it's objectiveAnd his favourite work of literature, a work he thinks is one of the best works of art ever produced, factually did have people’s enjoyment as its objective. Art not being at all about enjoyment is a pseud cope.
>>25467062That's not it from what I can remember, his point is that Don Quixote is an anti idealist book that favors the material world over any sort of spiritualism and other ideas not bound to immediate reality, and he considers that German idealism and its constant pursuit of idealized worlds that clash with reality is what kept them crashing into devastating conflicts based on inmaterial ideals. Not saying I agree, but I think that's what he meant by that point
>>25468017So it's literally just a fancy way of dressing up his fedora-tipping. He's mad his mother dragged him to Mass on Sunday mornings as a child and he's built a whole philosophical complex to justify his base feelings.
>>25468020It's not about religion, not entirely, I think he's framing Hegel and all that came from that there. His problem is with German idealism, not religion as a whole afaik
>>25467074Franco was a softboy whose goverment barely eliminated 30k nuisances over 35 years of dictatotrship. You'd be safe if you were not an active violent activist, so the few leftists he killed were the practical ones (who in practice are the reedemable ones), leaving all the pseudo-intellectuals to thrive if they were ever so careful about their rhetoric. >>25467098>>25467483Chinese toruism is overwhlmingly in neighboring regions in North or South-East Asia. Special regions Hong Kong, Macao & Taiwan alone represent 30% of all outbound trips of mainland chinks. In Europe the primary destinations are still France leading, then Italy. Spain is even below Germany. Spain has zero value to chinks, it is the tourist destination of my fellow britbong tourists not rich enough for French vacations, leading to all those funny videos of drunk chavs hurting themselves in Spain in the most stupid ways while Pablo cucks them.
>>25466540>>"Those who seek pleasure should buy a dildoRather unusual thing for a man to say.
>>25466540>>"Those who seek pleasure should buy a dildo, for art, literature and music does not have the enjoyment of people as it's objective"That's a retarded take, and sounds like a sour grapes kind of deal of somebody who can't write
>>25468128Inevitable conclusion of those who fail to admit that comedies >>> tragedies. Maestro worships Quixote while making a drab depressing mess out of it. Terminally broken man.
>>25466540never heard of him but these quotes all sound like a 14 year old's
>>25468017>his point is that Don Quixote is an anti idealist bookOHNNONONONO AHAAHAHHAHADon Quixote’s number one fan got giga-filtered by it, you can’t make this shit up
>>25468150How is it idealist?
Never heard of him and without context don't care about his opinions.
>>25468192A significant part of the book is sancho learning the value of idealism and the beauty of nobler ideals despite the earlier stupidity, particularly in the superior second “half” of the book (because it’s two books, not one). Also, when Quixote gives up his idealism, he literally dies, becoming a cynic like everyone else literally kills him. I’m not saying that Cervantes didn’t intend Quixote to be absurd at all but there’s also such a clear theme of the value of idealism above material cynicism.
