   No, I'm sure lots of people think I'm stupid in all sorts of emotional states. Greenplastic just seems upset with me personally, and I'm not really clear on why. I think he might be intimidated by me or something.

   You've been acting more douchey and pretentious than normal the past few days. You think since you've studied philosophy that you're more qualified than others to comment on the true nature of reality, but there is only one true way that things are, so the vast majority of those great philosophical ideas are bullshit. Like who the fuck cares about the intricate points of what some 15th century dumbass said about existentialism? What matters is the fact that you can feel in your soul the emptiness and lack of any sort of meaning in life. That's understanding. You don't need to take a philosophy minor for that feeling to have a profound effect on the way you see things.
   
   I have no doubt Malice has an adequate enough understanding of existentialism to comment on it intelligently. You however seem to be implying that he (and probably everyone else here, as I'm pretty sure none of us have read more philosophy than you have) isn't qualified to engage in debate with someone like you that is so highly educated on the matter.
   
   More generally, it's fucking stupid when people say things like LOL NIHILISM ISN'T ACTUALLY ABOUT NEGATIVITY ITS ABOUT FREEING URSELF or YOU DONT KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT EXISTENTIALISM TO BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE THAT DREAD IN YOUR STOMACH ACCURATELY ENOUGH. Philosophy is just ideas about something that in the vast majority of cases (probably all) is literally impossible to test, meaning a fuck ton of it is going to be wrong, and therefore garbage. Assigning a bunch of esoteric sounding words to human feeling doesn't make you any better or more qualified than any other introvert to tell them about how things are.

   you're retarded, greenplastic. lanny is pretty retarded too, but you're more retarded. lanny is just a more sophisticated and pretentious kind of stupid. you're more like a 'does this person have actual brain damage' kind of stupid. you're 'abused inhalants for a decade' stupid.

    Give it a rest, Lanny is a Trianglist that has clearly embraced doomsday and has gained understanding of the concepts I posted about.

    Lanny does have a slight overestimation of his abilities/intelligence/knowledge, but just very slightly. He is good people though, and green plastic is a faggot.

    honestly it's one of the most pure displays of rock bottom hopeless as fuck glue sniffer stupidity i've ever seen. i mean, you could write a thesis on it. you could spend days, dissecting the depths of error, the multiform varieties of 'dolorously misguided', or just imagining the dull glassy eyed mouth breathing inbred vacant stare on his face as he wrote it. this should be preserved, biopsied, studied, for future generations.
