What is some literature pertaining to voluntarily living a life of celibacy?

The ladder of divine ascent

>seething
did he penetrate your gf?

Shouldn't "pop-philosopher" be impossible? I don't see how a philosopher gives media presence much attention while being sincere and not a hack.

please
he's fine.
gave me an A and a break when I needed it, for which ill always fucking adore him.

ps - there is only one correct reply to this:

JUST NOT YET

(with I would prefer not to as a close second)

Nah, he even has a kid.

I wonder if we could create a short technical description of what a pseudo-intellectual is. It would have to include the masturbatory misuse of language which isn't used to elucidate but to obfuscate, to expand the negligible beyond all reason in order to create the illusion of substance, and the equally auto-erotic act of ascribing transcendent meaning to trivial phenomena, ultimately constructing a maze out of obscurantist ramblings in which the cognitively deficient narcissist and often the architect himself, are snared by their own ego.

I'm actually not. Just trying to compress something which should be written at length. You are forgiven for seeing it as such as that is indeed another technique used, although in a much more extreme form often through the utilization of self-referential jargon.

Wild thoughts

I'll admit it made me laugh out loud. But if the author is not revealing the joke it has to be categorized as malignant, and if he does not mean it as a joke it is pathological.

Lol, based painting poster

where? no comment
he was really into Decalogue at the time, so we had a lot of that.
literally dumb ass me third year undergrad and like 3 phd cats (who've all gone on to great acclaim).
hed read some shit. wed listen. wed watch. I honestly wasted the opportunity - but I was drowning in youth, classes, projects, didn't know how to fucking manage it. He was there for as much as anyone wanted to put into it. I kept a seat warm and didn't bother him. nonetheless shit like tarrying with the negative were useful to me at the time, as were some of his noir film readings. I used it in other classes. so I don't really have any stories - he just let us all do our thing and gave paperwork to the bureaucrats cuz we hardcore few bothered to show.

Fear and Trembling

Nietzsche, Tesla, sundry classical Meds, and all of Daoism. It's almost like there's a pattern here ...

I hope he tells Peterson about this.

a mirror is a mirror is my asshole

Have you even read any of his books? He's a brilliant literary theorist.

They're all accomplished in their own fields, just because they play celebrity too doesn't mean they're hacks
