>explaining the existential dread
There are certain ideas, how ever they may be interpreted as transcendental perhaps, that simply can not be explained through means of phenomenological reason. You have to give up trying to know it to make way for belief; such is with beauty, freedom, God, Telos, immortality of the soul, etc. It is impossible to explain these things with the means we think.
The ebst you can do is try to expereince them, such as is sponatenously evident with Skyking. Trying to explain it or elaborate will always miss the true center of what made something like Rich Russell spontaneous for us all an awe inspiring story of a hero.

The more I see posts like this from /pol/, the more I’m convinced that it’s slowly becoming more and more Marxist

Don't bother, they're all wrong and only deepen the existential dread at a deeper level.

Academia is just as ripe with contrarian children as in the self-"educated" circles where live you and the dipshit Unabomber. Sure. Many of your professors want their philosophical assumptions fed back to them. But none of them can take your ability, nor desire, to learn to be righter than them.

There's nothing contrarian about it, it's just how it is.
And you should learn basic grammar before talking down to people about intellectualism.

Any anons on this board who still read books and want to see the idea in that image expanded on, check out Gramsci's Prison Notebooks (the selection from them is fine). The first section is about public intellectuals a la Pinker or Peterson and their role in maintaining the status quo. Good shit.

Basically anything by Walker Percy fits that perfectly. Last Gentleman was wonderful, I'm now reading Second Coming which seems better so far.

Basically all of "postmodern" literature. Pynchon, Delillo, the list could go on...

Not every anti-capitalist movement has to be marxist.

Just finished reading this. I won't lie. It was somewhat difficult... Some very good passages though.

Written by psychologist, he explains using examples from his work with patients.

>"Carlo Michelstaedter (1887-1910) committed suicide at the age of 23, days after completing this devastating treatise on the human condition and the course of Western civilization. This work was deemed to be so radically nihilistic, or so radically idealistic, that publishers shied away from it for decades."

Fuck off, BAP. No one wants to read your Male Slut Walk garbage.
