Can I get curly fries with the value meal?

the first semester of my mech engineering degree was harder than your entire program

Sage and gay

That was a petrol fueled idea.

It's cute the way you try to use big words to sound smart.

Theoretically if you were ever going to shit post on Jow Forums what topic would you choose?

wtf I love open borders now. #lovenothate

>Mimetic theory

Memetic theory.

Void Shaman, AMA

Because i worked finance for 10 years, hated it, decided to be a snowflake, got my PhD and am now unemployed.
But, hey, at least i "stuck it to the man"

Close

Christianity

Don't even have a job at fast food :(

Jesus said to sell your cloak, buy a sword and kill a bunch of Jews! Amen!

How nationalists are just as stupid as globalists
Nothing new, but memetic theory offers a theoretical backbone to the shit post

ROFLMFAO
Where do i start?.. I'll make it quick
Your title means nothing to anyone but you.
It makes you feel big.
You are a narcissist.
No one cares.

Do you pretend like you know everything irl or just on the internet?

No. Mimetic theory. From the Greek word "mimesis", used by Plato and Aristotle with regards to imiation of life through art.

WHAT'S THAT?
YOU SAY A DINGO ATE YOUR BABY?

WAIT! You have a degree in philosophy and you still have the audacity to call anybody "pathetic"?!

KEK.

>it's memetic not mimetic
>cyclical history repeating would be fine atm just need to fire the boosters at the right time
I dont usually say this but kys and never return

Is that Jacques Derrida?

Neither.
My dissertation actually mentions communities like this and tries to dissect the rhetoric.
Putting my theory into practise.

No one is as pathetic as me, brother.

>PhD of Philosophy here
No one cares. I think you're a petrol-swilling Abo. Prove me wrong; identify yourself and provide citations
>PhD of Philosophy here
This is contemptible on so many levels. Let me understand; you're proud that you wasted eight years getting a Doctorate in Philosophy? What fast food chain do you work at?

It's mimetic pleb. see

What if I told you humanity never made it out of the ooze?

Well, here's a theory. Maybe if you stfu and tone down your smarmy obnoxious shitposting, you might learn something.

no its not pleb, you might do mimesis but we do memetics here, and they are different. I suggest maybe you do some more mitosis in your brain.

>oscillation of reciprocity
KEN BASED AUS SHITPOSTER

this is the answer, unabashedly though

>with a specialisation in Mimetic Theory.
not smart enough for womens studies?

I'm just here for the shitposting and the qt jap girls anons post.
You have no power over me.

Study your Bible better.
Don't trust Rome, dipshit. Everything they wrote has the potential to be a poison pill. The Devil mixes truth with lies. He's leading us all into a trap. The Lord made us separate. Nationalism is right.

My blood line is central European if that helps.

I'm not proud, that's an abomination, but it depends on what you value in life.
You seem to value a high paying job so that you can hide your shitty personality behind a bank account
I valued learning on the universities dollar (i had a scholarship) while doing something i loved. Sorry if that seems alien to you.
I know in your bee-hive nat soc paradise the idea of learning for the sake of learning is scary.

why do you say memetic theory here then? typo?

Tell me more about your hypothesis.

>'you're just as pathetic'
>explains why we're LESS pathetic

Lit

Teach me, then.

no, its literally mimetic theory.

And if you had a bone of critical thinking in you, you would see if there is any correlation between mimesis and memes. (huge)

>Let me tell you why you, Jow Forums, are just as pathetic as everything you hate.
Doesn't explain why. Are you literally retarded?

Yes, but do you know why?
Can you argue your point without sounding like an evangelical??
Well, mimetic theory provides that

I was too privileged to be accepted

I've been with some yellows in my time. No arguments from me here. Keep em coming.

Oh great another intellectual cuck from the university... please share your cuckry insights on reddit.

You are right about the Devil and his lies, but he hasnt led us into a trap, we fell in his trap with the very first culture.
Ask me why.

There's that fag talk we talked about. Stfu, nigger.

typo. sorry.

I'll say it again. MIMETIC theory. Coined from the ancient Greek word "Mimesis" which is loosely (and incorrectly) translated as Imitation
i.e. MIMIC

Let me understand. You're proud that you got a worthless degree for the small price of eight years of your life. And you're proud that you can't economically support a family with your useless degree?
C'mon you're havin' a laugh aren't you? You're havin' a laugh.

Why do the two have to be separated?
Mimetic Theory has real life, political applications.

Waiting for someone to ask. It's as simple as that.

Someone here just has to show the humility to not be a reactionary and simply converse with me for the benefit of everyone (hopefully)

I actually have some really nice things to say about your Holy Book my brother in Christ (whether you like it or not)

>Let me tell you why this is so.
>...
>Well, aren't you going to ask?
If you want to say something, say it.

I'll pray for you brother

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life

>ressentiment

It's more of a spiritual feeling than an intellectual hypothesis. We are caught in the Fall of Rome. A frozen time line. A primitive collective ooze. A projection on a screen. But, fear not. We will break the illusion even if we have to destroy everything.

I like your chutzpah!

Ok, but it will take a bit of an investment of your time. You have that?

whats VatS like? I gots it on the shelf.

If we are to believe Spengler then, yes, we are in a time analogous to the Fall of Rome.
But we have Christianity and they didn't.
Spengler was a Nietzschean and he did not realise the singular and unique nature of the Gospels and what they mean for us anthropologically speaking.

>tfw want to get PhD in Philosophy with a specializarion in mimetic theory because that’s what I truly enjoy
>I can’t because I’ll be too poor, enslaved by debt, and couldn’t support a family if I ever meet a woman worthy of settling down with

Yeah, go ahead.

you're fucking retarded.

>But we have Christianity and they didn't.
Rome was christian when it fell.

It will give you the best idea of Girard's notions regarding the birth of culture through the scapegoating mechanism and subsequent mythologising of the act.
It will show how humanity, since time immemorial, has made a "pact" so to speak with lesser violence in order to stave of larger, apocalyptic violence and how, finally, that violence that births the culture ends up destroying it.

I'm engaged to be married. The wedding is in April.
But, yes... my intellectual pursuits have complicated my worldly ambitions.
Luckily i made a mint in my years in the finance industry and i'm ok for a few years.

In fact, Rome went Christian and then fell less than 200 years later. After persisting for almost over a millennia prior. Almost as if embracing a cucked and pozzed worldview precipitated it...

Christianity is different to Christendom.

Would you?

Sounds interesting. Will shuffle it forward.

That's not what critical thinking is, you mean if I had studied "mimesis". Regardless I don't need to be talked down to from some pleb tier autist. There are differences and youre trying to trick the lower tier plebs here with your word play. I studied Plato enough to know about the forms. And if you cared to education you would outline your premise not expect others to draw conclusions from something you are a supposed expert on. Saged until you apologize for being a cheeky sophist.

plz expound

educate*

Are you the Girard poster from /lit/? What book should I start with?

Christianity today is absolute garbage.

Ok, so the basics of mimetic theory start with Girard's revelations on the nature of desire.

Tell me, how do you see desire?
Do you want what you want autonomously? Is your desire a straight line between you and the desired object?

>Is your desire a straight line between you and the desired object?
depends how fit she is and whether i'm shitfaced

Syncretism always happens at the decline of a culture. Christianity hadn't the time to affect the geist of Rome as most Romans clung to pagan/house deities.

I've had some meat flaps in my time but that one is pretty bad.

war is natures way of making room for the new.

Sorry to tell you, but Christianity still clings to those pagan rituals.

super interesting premise in the title. will read later

I never said there weren't differences. I said that the correlation between mimetic theory and the spread of memes is pretty fascinating.
And fuck the sophists.

Whose?

Would thou give it a little sucky?

Christendom is the wordly empire
Christianity is the lived experience of God through Christ Jesus

I ain't no doctor but that don't look right

i have an affinity for syncretism. it's honest.

......maybe.

Start at the beginning. The guy wrote about 50 books but i'd say the most important are:
- Deceit, Desire and the Novel
- Violence and the Sacred
and (most importantly)
- Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World

If you want all of these wrapped up into an easily digestible package, just read his "Evolution and Conversion"

>Christianity is the lived experience of God through Christ Jesus
this was absent in christian rome?
