I don't know what is real anymore:

[BurtReynolds]

The living embodiment of our age--the person who will define our epoch for all time--is Donald Trump, who until recently was just a quirky character from a tv show. He is the Northstar upon which everything happening in the world today is navigable.

Not Jesus. Not Julius Caesar. Not Genghis Khan. Not Napoleon. Not Hitler.

It's Orange Man.

This will never stop being funny.

We are the comic relief in the story of mankind.

Empathy is overrated

Should I read this? It's nearly 2000 pages and in need of editing, but it's also apparently brilliant.

It's also a literal suicide note. He killed himself after writing it.

Mitchell Heisman, the man who shot himself September 18, 2010 in Harvard Yard, killed himself as ”Experimental Elimination of Self-Preservation,” according to an extensive suicide note he has published online. The note, found at the domain http://www.suicidenote.info/ , is over 1,905 pages long, and divided into complicated subsections. In its totality, the document sketches Heisman’s dense, heavily-cited social, political, and ethical philosophy, and promotes his book, heretofore unpublished. Heisman worked in several bookstores throughout the area, and consulted with Harvard professors in the process of writing the document.

Most arresting of all: the note — tome, really — is probing, deeply researched, and often humorous. Heisman personality and erudition shine through every page, as he traces the philosophical steps that have led him to suicide: not really desperation or depression, but rather, intellectual curiosity, and a desire to test the limits of the unknown. After a quick read, comparisons to Albert Camus’ “The Myth of Sisyphus” abound. All the more sad that such a deeply intelligent young man would choose to cut his scholarly output off at one, interesting book.

Granted I didn't do an exhaustive search, but the only even remotely credible positive review I could find of this outside of fucking subreddits was a disgraced National Review opinion columnist who now writes for VDARE, so I'm quite certain that it's not "brilliant" and there's about a billion other things you could spend your time on which would serve you better than the 2000 page ramblings of some would-be existentialist bookstore clerk with a BA.

"Consulted with Harvard professors" seems to quite literally mean "Alan Dershowitz" lol.
