>pinker
would it even be possible to have a gayer last name?

This is Peterson tier. Reminds me of Christian apologetic writing. It is just TOO full of butthurt. He must convince the reader that Nietzsche is nothing less than execrable.

Faggot is pretty gay

This is what peak pseud looks like.

Why do people even listen to him

We're hitting levels of ressentiment that shouldn't even be possible.

I can't tell if he's being intellectually dishonest or just honestly idiotic

If you read the rest of that section, you'll have your answer.

You may assume Pinker knows his target audience hasn't read neetchan and that he needs only cherrypick quotes to falsify a sense of authenticity for his loaded rhetoric, but on the other hand it's also entirely possible he just googled "Nietzsche quotes" and thought that was a sufficient to learn everything he needed. But I guess there's the old cliche of never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity.

I didn't know much about him before except that shitposters called him ass. Now I see that that tells you everything.

a
fucking
leaf

I think someone with the last name faggot would try to make up for it by being a manwhore though. Pinker just seems like something you could never get over no matter how hard you try. Just look at his hair and facial expression and see a man who has accepted his fisting

How could such a consummate bugman have provided redpills so far ahead of their time in his book The Blank Slate?

its true blank slate had a lot of double plus ungood shit in it, shouldve been banned

His background is psychology and the social sciences, that's why. He discovered some "redpills" in the field but he's still ultimately a puppet.

SUCC A NIGGA DICK OR SUMTHN

ass

yeah, browner

Intelligence is myriad. Don't assume too much about people.

So does this mean I no longer need to read Nietzsche?

From now on you'll only be reading liberalist literature young man.

The thing is he's not even a pseud, he's a qualified and published psychologist and linguist so I'm sure he's not an idiot and has read his fair share of philosophy. It's just that the left props him up endlessly because he appeals to their love for "end of history" Whiggish narratives. Even after all that's happened these last few years they like him because he can goad us into thinking we have no reason to despair and that we're actually living in the best times ever (which by some metrics is true of course) and that everything is getting better, so don't complain.

It's a pretty common strategy he's been using for years really:

>more and more things in the world are going to shit
>Pinker shows up with new book or through some kind of interview/public platform to remind us that everything's improving

It's just his schtick, really. I bet he probably doesn't even genuinely believe a lot of what he says at this point, but this is what he's made a name for himself doing. And I'm sure he's not going to stop because it keeps giving him money and publicity.

What things in the world are going to shit?

Bill Gates called Enlightenment Now his new favourite book of all time. Does that make Pinker the Prophet of Midtown? Of the literal readership with attention span of 280 characters. Anyway, I'm sure it's super comfy and the retards who read NYT bestsellers will love it.

Midbrow * lmao
Inb4 t. phoneposter fag

Majorly retarded Kike.

You're posting on Veeky Forums, can't believe you'd have to ask that question

well for one thing Trump was elected president

>It's just that the left props him up endlessly because he appeals to their love for "end of history" Whiggish narratives
Not "the left" - the liberals. Leftists get supremely buttmad at the idea of liberal democracy and capital being the best vehicle of progress. Look at the International Socialist Review's articles on him.

Do you want to be a racist and sexist?
I would start of with some female writers like J.K Rowling, then proceed to /r/books and ask any of their scholars for advice.

fedora tier (mis) interpretation
just look at his face gawd

>pinker

one in the pinker two in the stinker

His last name is literally slang for vagina

Nietzsche's last name has something in common with Zen, Zarathustra, Deleuze even

Your move poodleman

Nietzsche is Polish nobleman and Pinker is an anglo soyboy cuck with an ugly haircut and bad clothes

is this bait?
>Nietzsche
>fake Polish ancestry, really a Germ
>Pinker
>Central European-descended Jew born in French Canada

is this bait?
he's canadian with a last name pinker who writes in english

if you're the one to care about "fake polish ancestry" I would say you don't get a lot of important parts of nietzsche

jesus that is a legitimately frightening picture

>I am a superman: hard, cold, terrible, without feelings and without conscience.
How could you misinterpret Neetzsche this badly?

Anglo is an ethnic demonym. Yes, he writes in English, and inherits English philosophical traditions. But given your other claim about Nietzsche's false perceived Polish ancestry (I agree it is not worth caring about, but I am not the one who brought it up) one would assume that you are making a racial assessment of his work, as something indicative of perfidious Albion at large. In reality he couldn't be further from a racial or geographic Anglo.

reddit version what being superior is

some projection maybe

For you. That photo doesn't frighten me in the least.

god I'm so far away from uberhood, its depressing

Nietzsche (PBUH) would be ashamed of me

Why are Anglos such plebs?

he's a north american descendant of mutts,with an anglo surname, in what world is he not an anglo?

or muh ancestry

lol that's a cute power fantasy

>you don't understand Nietzsche
>no you don't understand Nietzsche
>you don't understand Nietzsche
>no you don't understand Nietzsche
>you don't understand Nietzsche
>no you don't understand Nietzsche
yawn

In a world where he's jewish

>
tfw nobody understands you

why are you so desperate for him to be an anglo?
OBSESSED

...

who's that ugly girl?

>This is unironically what Anglos get out of Nietzsche

>Posthumous men, like myself, are not so well understood as men who reflect their age, but they are heard with more respect. In plain English: we are never understood—hence our authority.

Nietzsche probably had higher grip strength than Pinker

lol

It's telling that all you kids can respond with is memes, racism, anti-semitism and the like.

It's almost as if this is the kind of thing Pinker talks about, it's almost like you, in your silly little tirades, completely devoid of anything resembling arguments, reason or fact, exactly confirmed his points.

Pinker has thoroughly refuted Nietzsche, both in terms of his original ideas and their impact and legacy. In a well-written and well-sourced argument, he draws also on important, widely learned and credited Philosophers such as Bertrand Russel.

I would like to see you children refute any of his points. I am waiting.

>this effectively kills Pinker shills
thank god for terminating at least that type of cancer

Quality posts

say that again...
*unsheathes sabre*
...if you dare...
*teleports behind you*
...nothin personnel, last man.

>killing a man because he wrote books.

Are you actually fucking retarded?

Ah yes, exactly the kind of level I expected from this board.

What? Is this supposed to be serious or am I just wasting my time trying to understand?

If you expected it, why bother?

Confirmed, you really are a fucking retard.
Hang yourself, autist. And while you go do that, why don’t you suck off Pinker while you’re at it?

I guess I still entertained some hope that there could be a more coherent argument in defence of Nietzsche. But I guess that even if there is, none of his fanboys would be able to put it forward.

>Pinker was born in Montreal, Quebec, in 1954, to a middle-class Jewish family.

Why is a coherent defense needed for an incoherent attack that is pretty much just pinker going on some power fantasy?

>I either cannot or refuse to read
Ah, right, that's the level we're at.

Good, goy. Let me guess, an American?

>taking obvious bait this easily

What has that got to do with anything?
No, I expected you could tell by the fact that my English is, unfortunately, still not perfect.

>anything I do not like is bait
Stay classy.

...

>Anglos
hehe...... ye...
>get
he probably gets way more, he's just intentionally misreading him to fuel up his rhetoric of submission and weakness.

>*crying wojak face* “IF I COULD GO BACK IN TIME! I’D BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM”

Jeez

>he´s a real packrat

it's real.

Both this guy and Peterson are Canadian, which doesn't surprise

How can one nationality be so reddit?

>Pinker has thoroughly refuted Nietzsche
A moralistic fallacy is not a refutation.

I have not read a lot of Nietzsche, but does he not know about the misappropration by Nietzsche's sister? Does he not know of Colli and Montinari's work?
For all of Nietzsche's appeals to will and power, he was a deeply tragic and most of all human figure. Thus Spoke Zarathustra carries the subtitle 'A Book for All and None'. Nietzsche wasn't the overman, he wanted to bring him about - he wanted to elevate humanity and he only excluded those who excluded themselves.

In the end, no idea matters aside from it's practical consequences.

Holy fuck that is embarrassing.

lmao, fag

he was cuck manlet, so maybe not

You ain't the one for me, baby
You ain't got shit I need, bitch
You want me to take my time with you
Well maybe I'm not your speed bitch
Maybe I'm out your league, bitch
You ain't even got no cheese, bitch
Maybe I'm just too G for you
Or maybe I'm just too street, bitch

Nietzsche's ideas are the best then, because they prepare individuals for battling with monsters better than any others.

wow, his level of butthurt is so big

Nietzsche wasn't a fighter though

Most of his writing was polemical though.

didn't he sell like 50 copies?

And your point is...........
