T. Smarter than most people but too dumb to be a true intellectual.

Why yes fellow user, I do indeed consider myself an intellectual.

This should be easy to answer since an intellectual is someone whose occupation primarily uses their mind rather than their body. Doesn't have anything directly to do with how well-read you are.

I'm a sued

I'm like Francis Scott Fitzgerald I think that social status don't come from wealth but is cultural.
And even if I'm educated and have no problem regarding money I won't consider myself as a bourgeois nor an intellectual even if I had multiple servants growing up and studied the humanities and the arts.
I am a proud proletarian and therefore I can't access the intellectual status

Define intellectual.

Define define

Now here's a true intellectual.

Define yourself before defining the terms

Why don't you kill yourselves? This is a philosophical question.

I'm smart enough to understand what actual intelligence is but buddy let me tall ya I ain't that.

Midwit here with a talent to troll actual geniuses into doing the hard cogitating for me then dumbing it down again. It's a pretty good system.

What's actual intelligence?

I am excellent at name dropping in my philosophy courses, but I am an autistic bipolar schizoid and never paid attention in maths because I would leave to go to the bathroom and masturbate.

So yes, I am indeed an intellectual of the highest order.

I genuinely know these things to be true:

1) I am a prophet and closest thing to Maitreya, Saoshyant, Second Coming of Christ, Mahdi or whatever you have it.

2) I am an intellectual that has well-thought out views in regards to metaphysics, empirical science, and much more. Some of my fiction has been published too.

3) I am unbelievably creative, wise, educated, and more. Minds like mine are born once every 1000 years.

4) I have had a few divine revelations from a few important religious figures.

5) I have written one of the greatest religious texts of this era. I would have far more interesting things to say than idiots like Peterson, Zizek, or other public intellectuals.

And finally, if you speak ill of me, then you will suffer for trillions upon trillions of kalpas. You should give up your worship in whatever path, or lack thereof, you follow and become my disciples instead.

Your middle chapters are good but your chapter on technology is woefully underdeveloped and naive.

Technology brings new forms into existence, and with it, can empower certain individuals and small populations in ways that threaten all of our futures. Then there's coordination problems like carbon emissions and climate change. Buddhism brings peace to the false turbulence and dichotomies in an otherwise stable world, but i dont see it offering any solutions to the real problems that threaten us.

Peterson helps those lodged in emptiness to start trying to collect desirable forms, Zizek offers insightful critiques (and no real solutions, unless ive missed them). I understand your self-aggrandising is for clickbait, but what useful ideas are you actually offering

I’m a moron, actually.

You are a literal idiot if you think there are any made-up words in there. It's a synthesis of Zurvanite and Mahayana Buddhist traditions in a novel way. Some ancient texts describing Zurvanite beliefs did survive.

There are absolutely no made-up words in there, you stupid brainlet piece of shit. Also, the metaphysics are not entirely unique, but they are applied in a somewhat novel way.

I doubt you're able to even comprehend the metaphysical claims, or their origins, from that text. I've probably read much more philosophical, theological, and literary works than you.

No. 'Intellectual' isn't an honorary title for smart people, it's a profession: if you support yourself by spreading ideas, you're an intellectual. An engineer isn't an intellectual, because they are judged by the result, the product that they offer. If the bridge an engineer builds collapses, he will be judged negatively, whereas an intellectual pays no price should the ideas they produce and spread fail. Just look at all the intellectuals who spawned, spread and advocate for communism.

>Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder with a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, excessive need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.

Dismissing a work based on how it is presented is truly the most pseudointellectual thing anyone can do. Instead of looking deeply into the content of what is being said, you choose to dismiss a work outright because it "was presented poorly". Listen, this is why retards like Joel Osteen are popular among you Americunts. Since you have become so boorish and stupid, presentation has become everything for you people.

Why don't you just look at how stupid and pathetic you've become? Everything is about shit-flinging regarding personality types rather than the substance of what is being said. I highly recommend suicide.

While my published fiction and this philosophical-mystical treatise may have merits, I am pretty sure you have never written or thought anything of merit. This is because your mind is filth, and you are asleep, technically speaking. You can never understand what true creativity entails.

As a baseline I consider myself above average in intelligence, I do believe I am hard working and have a good capacity to learn. People tend to believe I'm much smarter because I like to learn and I know plenty of various factoids because of this, or that I have a STEM degree. I am curious on whether I am a "genius" as people call me, I would take an IQ test but whats the point. I think they're pretty pompous and nobody who I would wanna impress would be impressed.

Some of what I was saying was meant to be humorous, but what I find it funny is you all have become more narcissistic in turn. Why? Because you let the judgment of my presumed character skew how you interpret the substance and merit of what I had to write.

In a sense, I was testing to see who were the real intellectuals vs. pseuds. A real intellectual can approach literature or philosophy in an immersive or impartial manner without letting his judgments of others affect how he interprets it.

You are not truly interested in knowing yourself, in knowing your true nature beyond the silly social conventions of your generation.

>true solitude, what true contemplation, wisdom, and creativity entail

How truly profound o master

It's not about being a classic or not. It's about intellectual integrity and honesty. There are many writers I like which I consider modern classics, in some sense. My point to you is that it's bad to dismiss writings or draw presumptions based on how you view the content of a person's character.

You are nothing but a meme, and you will live and die as nothing but a meme. With nowhere to go and nowhere to be, why don't you just off yourself and go to meme-heaven, edgelord?

Unless you give a real analysis and prove you comprehend the basic metaphysical claims, then you're just being a narcissistic idiot. It's more that you can't comprehend what is written, so you dismiss it as trash. Unlike you, many did comprehend it.
Of course intellectuals would come off as pseuds to memelord, edgelord faggots like you. Kys.

>memelord, edgelord faggots like you. Kys.

I have an actual message and goal. I am driven by something far greater than you. I don't live for my own pleasure or anything of that sort. I have a mission, one that will wasted on the likes of you. You are asleep and concerned more with trivial matters, such as obsessing over the content of another's character.

>narcissistic
Can’t stop using that word eh? Have some self awareness and stop projecting so hard.

so redpilled, huh?

My metacognitive awareness is probably far greater than yours. It's you that needs self-awareness! Even if you were to ask me to read something right now, I would do so, impartially, without letting this petty squabble affect my assessment.

I get it, the joke is that you claim to be a wise and profound thinker and yet you feel the need to defend yourself and act like a cunt on a literature imageboard on an anime website. It's not really funny

"Truth becomes fiction when the fiction's true;
Real becomes not-real where the unreal's real."

I am not using "smart words", whatever the hell that means. This is how I speak in the actual, tangible world.

You are more interested in wasting your time by pointing out the flaws you perceive in my conduct rather than actively engage in what is being said. I made philosophical claims in the manifesto and can even reference their influences.

You are not an intellectual then, because its a facade and not the real you

Rather than obsessing over people, why not learn how to comprehend ideas?

dude nobody cares. have sex

And what is the "real you", huh? Everything you say is superficial because you are not well-read or contemplative. The question of the nature of self has baffled many philosophers, and it is not easy to truly define "what is the real you". Rather than obsessing about attacking others, why not focus on ideas and their value, whether of a practical or aesthetic quality?

A true intellectual is typically thinking about philosophy, art, science, literature, and etc. more than he is about other people. That is the key difference.

Heh

post-2016 /pol/ is mostly made up of redditors

Sex for recreational purposes typically leads to more problems. One major issue with this modern era is people place more value on sexual pleasure, lust, and so forth over more noble endeavors. One reason this was done was due to the "Death of God" and led to new social control mechanisms being needed. What social engineers do is largely alter frequency of cues, in advertisements and more, pertaining to deviancy prior to economic turmoil, which helps maintain social cohesion, and there was one senator who wrote extensively on this, which I have lost.

Regardless, the obsession with sex and bodily lust is keeping you back. Why not place more value in more noble crafts or ways of being? Why do you always obsess and fixate over sex?

You'd be surprised

>incel babble
nobody cares. have sex.

The only person you are truly laughing at is yourself in that you believe the collective judgments of others means anything. Rather than truly look inward and inquire deeply, you choose instead to create a drama show over trivial matters. You are more concerned with laughing than real contemplation, real wisdom, and the Truth.

>Regardless, the obsession with sex and bodily lust is keeping you back. Why not place more value in more noble crafts or ways of being? Why do you always obsess and fixate over sex?
Why not? It's instant gratification instead of something ideal that most likely will either go unnoticed, or will be appreciated after you die

Everyone is ultimately alone in this life for nothing can be grasped in this Heraclitean flux of a Universe. There is something far more noble, far more "centered", in finding joy in crafts regardless of whether or not they go unnoticed.

Why do you care if your work is noticed or not? Do you think that will save you from your inmost aloneness? Aging is more surreal than any drug, and when you are old, all of Time will feel as if one moment.

You are wasting both of our time. You are not interested in sincere inquiry and looking inward.

Yea no shit technology won't fix all our problems. What I'm saying is that technology will create problems. Become existential threats even, as it continues to amass greater power in fewer people.

What is the appropriate response to that? You can pity their Angra-filled lives, the delusions their egos created to enslave them to, but that won't make any difference to the irrevocable damage that can be wrought on the things you find precious and valuable.

I suppose the buddhist response is not to be attached to romantic ideas of what the world is today, and not expect it to endure or be defensible as we move forward, which is realistic, but probably will not be acceptable to most people, who feel like they (in aggregate) can influence the direction of the future, and are largely correct.

Of course they wont succeed entirely in imposing their vision onto reality, but just by acting, they will have altered its course. And a vision to inspire them to action is what they want from their "poet-priest", not another redressing of buddhism

That's not to say most of what you wrote in there is not worth any merit. There are a couple of grammar mistakes/bits that are a bit awkward to read, and I would work on making the first page less pretentious, but the middle sections are pretty nice.
