What a whiney faggot. I'm glad he killed himself
>start reading his essay>turns out TV is fictionalWoah...

What was the purpose of making this thread? Just lauding someone's suicide for their personality for no good reason?(if there even is any).I hope you'll consider making less polerizaing, more conversationally productive threads, OP.
>>25553249People are becoming more irony-poisoned ever since he "-ACK" himself.
Infinite Jest is unironically one of my favorite books ever.
>>25555403Each their own. OP lives in idiocracy.
>>25553249I would've loved to see him locked in a large room with a gigantic BLACK BVLL who was hellbent on ass-raping him to death. I love DFW!
>>25555403I hate that he left out the climax, it's so pretentious and proto-reddit. Otherwise it's a great novel, but it just reeks of Gen X "le irony" insecurity.
Sincerity is anathema to the average anon so the hostility he inevitably inspires here has never been surprising to me.
>>25555784>Sincerity>entertainment is... LE BAD>I'm doing entertainment, but IRONICALLYeverything he did was couched in irony and pretense precisely because he was too cowardly to just admit that he enjoyed slop as much as the rest of us
Bait used to be believable.
>>25555815i thought he did though. but he was also ashamed of it like the rest of us should be
>>25555784You're right, but DFW was absolutely part of the hyper-ironic "dude who gives a shit lole" gen X bullshit that ruined society
>>25555815>precisely because he was too cowardly to just admit that he enjoyed slop as much as the rest of usBut he regularly admitted that over and over again and like anyone with an above average iq, he was ashamed of it and all the time he wasted on slop. It's something everyone who posts here should "relate" to as the kids say.
>>25553249How many times are you going to make this thread OP?I hope you join him in the afterlife soon and you can be whiny faggots together.
He killed himself?
>>25555905>"dude who gives a shit loleHis main legacy is being the one who said hold on this doesn't make sense. He didn't have an answer and we still seem to be in the same place. Thus his exit. If he did have an answer it was "the anti-rebels" which did anticipate the trad larping morality purists, oddly, often found on 4chan. The entire ebaums world vs 4chan, reddit vs 4chan, "start with the greeks" and then read church fathers is still exactly what he was in the middle of. Yes he talked a lot of TV but imagine a world in which your social media feed was the TV guide channel and your iPhone was your TV remote. Doom scrolling but on TV. It was the same drain on human attention, the irony vs sincerity is also the same debate. 4chan is the embodiment of "anti-rebels" vs doomer nihilists irony bros.ESL turd worlders can't figure this out because they are stupid, didn't grow up in the US and have a superiority complex. The Brazilian who constantly makes these OPs doesn't get it but its all there. I am not saying you need to like his writing, I am saying you should let native English speakers handle it.
>>25555832>>25555914>I like [thing]>but liking it is actually... LE BADpsued take
>>25557066I didn't even know he was sick.
>>25557173>base hedonist slave to his passions that feels no shame watching keys jangling for 5 hours a day, everyday
>>25557204>HOW DARE YOU BE COMFORTABLE WITH WHO YOU ARE, YOU SHOULD HATE AND KILL YOURSELF LIKE I DID!!!!1!real reddit midwit shit
>>25557217>reddit is when you don't think you should be a mindless slop consumerist and drug userI don't like what you people have done to this place.
>>25557131I would have loved to read DFW's thoughts on the modern slop culture.
>>25557241>drug use is... LE BAD!>*uses drugs constantly*I don't consider you people to be people.
>>25557268So you really never feel bad about all the hours you obviously spend shitposting on here when you could be actually reading books? Learning languages? You're happy to mire in the filth and uselessness of this site?
>>25557284Yes.
>>25557284It's such a bad argument because watching slop is how you relax after working. You can't work 24/7 or you will burnout and get health problems. DFW's error was to fail to see the value in rest.
>>25557364STOP HAVING FUN REEEE
>>25555403My condolences.
>>25557364>It's such a bad argument because watching slop is how you relax after working. The vast majority of Americans, for instance, would agree with you here>You can't work 24/7 or you will burnout and get health problemsAnd the vast majority of Americans are overweight if not outright obese, and have terrible health.If you aren't exercising before or after work, your health is going to be shit. If you're consuming slop and not engaging in intellectual pursuits before or after work, your mind is going to turn to mush and you'll have that glazed-over, early onset dementia stare the average salaryslave has.
>>25557451>the vast majority of Americans are overweight if not outright obese, and have terrible healthNo, they're not, you retarded fucking faggot.
>>25557471Nta and slop has its place, but most Americans are indeed overweight. According to Google.
>>25557451>If you aren't exercising before or after work, your health is going to be shit. If you're consuming slop and not engaging in intellectual pursuits before or after work, your mind is going to turn to mush and you'll have that glazed-over, early onset dementia stare the average salaryslave has.The point of slop is to work, exercise, eat a healthy diet, read books, and then consume slop to rest afterwards.
