So yeah. I’m here again if anyone really and truely cares. I’ve gotten out of my depression but it has taken a while. So I’m here to find support in philosophy again, and if anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
Hi 'Night. Glad to hear you’re feeling a bit better.
My advise? Only that you don’t take ANYTHING or ANYONE seriously here; it’s simply not worth it.
another oppressed soul? i’ll help anyway i can if u need consolement. let me know if you got that reply to your private message?i’m not 100% at this forum engine yet.
Perhaps now is the time for me to present Nietzsche to you without getting a sneez. Nobody else in philosophy can offer you support in life. Not you anyway, I know you, Shopenhaur, Keirkegaard and the like is too dumb and numb for you.
Wittgenstein for the intellect, Epicurus for the soul. Nietzsche is a just an elaboration of Epicurus with a reworking of Aristotle thrown in for good measure…
What happened to Deridda, now that both the mind and soul is occupied. Deridda is, as the only probable explaination, beyond mind and soul, at least for his Nietzschean part. You are subconsciously telling us a gengeral truth here, that Nietzsche appears somewhat unfathomably beyond to many a conventional philosophy mind and soul. I am pleased to see that, really.
And for someone who has just come out of a depression Nietzsche is a little combative, whereas Epicurus is rudely healthy…
Derrida? A shyster, of course, but possibly the most brilliant of them all. We’ll get on to him when the rest of this silly little country catches up…
Do you have Derrida in York? By which I mean, is he taught on any relevant courses (philosophy, literary, history and so on)?
Fritz can be tender at times.
I am sure Derrida is taught in philosophy, I have seen a few of his books standing on the philosophy shelves in the library. As well as in literature, because a friend who studies English appears to an extent, acquinted to Derrida. I am not sure about history, in fact I do not think that history is a subject on its own here at York. I think the way history is taugh here is highly economic, for instance, an economic student like me would only get in touch with things like British economy in the 15th century. York has a famous archeology department though. Overall, to assess the teaching quality of the university, it definitely belongs somewhere in the top class. It is usually averagely ranked as the 7th best among UK universities. Its economic department is often in the top five. Not that I particularly give a damn to all these, the only reason that I applied to Oxford was in consideration of its world wide reputation, so that it would be easier for employment seeking when I go back to Shanghai. York is building up its reputation in China gradually, Dyke, formly chairman of BBC, now chancellor of York, paid a trip to China last year to advertise. That is bad news for domestic A level students who are having a hard on for York, from what I have observed, Chinese students are usually not stupid at all. Anyway, fuck York, I have became bored of its river Ouse. It is a sleepy town that has a financial sector turnover probably around 100 grand annually, I cannot get a job I want here after graduation. I cannot get a godamn cafe job here, maybe it is because of its city walls, had town expanded outside of the walls, life would be easier for everybody. Nah, I love York actually, it offers the only one in the world 200 times broadband internet speed on campus 24/7 for free, conscequently I do not have to worry about getting a double post or shit here at ILP.
Greg Dyke? As in former director of Man Utd and the BBC?
This Greg Dyke?

Who else was on your mind? Dick van Dyke?
Wuff wuff wuff <3
not now silly
Glad you’re feeling better 'night.
Starting and ending only with your post.
Funny… if intended.
Oni. I can’t very well end with my own post if you guys post again. But I do not really care who has the last post. I’m not sure why this was started again but whatever. Thanks anyway to Tabula and the rest. It feels great to be back. I have learned a lot more that I thought I would.
Well I truly am glad, if it does feel great for you to be back, or if this “social” sort of forum is actually helpful for your existence in some way. If it is, I am surprised, that’s all. I will go check somemore of your ancient posts now.
