It's settled. Veeky Forums's resident philosopher Nick Land has conclusively endorsed the comic genius of filmmaker, writer, bibliophile and Carnegie Mellon alumnus Sam Hyde
Sam Hyde is now officially and undeniably Veeky Forums.
ITT: post your thoughts on Hyde's lectures and writings
Does he still live in Shanghai? He used to be professor of continental philosophy at my alma mater, fuck knows how he's made a living since he left
Gabriel Ortiz
all of those "smart people" just constitute a small elite that attend gay orgies at bohemian grove doesn't seem that smart to me

University rankings dont mean shit. They are ranked by how much scientific research is done there. Nothing about how good the education actually is.
Josiah Rivera
Good thing Nick Land isn't an American then?
Ian Barnes
then?
Matthew Johnson
find something else to do
Evan Gomez
he's a post-ironic fascist NEET, whose best material comes from his obvious self-loathing
James Green
Nick Rochefort hanging himself was pretty Veeky Forums
Lincoln Taylor
MDE is the Louis Ferdinand Celine of 'ironic' web content
Isaiah Lopez
It's likely that he pretend to be alt-right. The reaction that he creates are part of the show and everyone would ignore him if he was the current year man.
Cooper Lee
If yes merely pretending. Than he is doing a very good job at it considering he's had openly anti Semitic views in his comedy for years before the "alt-right" was even a term.
William Cook
I (as an American) completely agree. We are, somehow, even dumber than the French. We are even dumber than the sub-saharan Africans, who have some sort of animalistic common sense. America is a humongous, constant struggle against truth, beauty, and reason.
Thomas Ortiz
>Does he still live in Shanghai?
Levi James
Land is so fucking based
He could be my dad and he's literally cool
William James
bump
Let's keep this discussion going
Landon Clark
based Sam, hope he keeps getting away with it Nick scares me
David Walker
Hyde, this is your mother please stop posting on this site talking about yourself in third person. Your father says hi, miss you
Benjamin Stewart
Is ceasing your production of testosterone part of leaving the meatspace?
Grayson Wilson
Sam Hyde is less of a person and more of a simulacra viral hypermedia happening. Everything which was once human in him has been consumed by the cybertubes. No wonder Land loves him.
Sebastian Murphy
>Sam Hyde is less of a person and more of a simulacra viral hypermedia happening.
This is why I come to Veeky Forums
Austin Gray
>cybertubes
What?
Jacob Young
does anyone know anything about sam's dad? has he ever been mentioned?
Josiah Hernandez
>ITT: post your thoughts on Hyde's lectures and writings
Sam Hyde is a kid playing with this world. He is a trickster, Even if he has a political agenda it would be just a tool to confuse and upset.
The same. It's like a goth decided to be a continental philosopher and combine the worst of both writing styles.
SAm hyde's book is good. It's a lot of insane ranting and imagery.
Jacob Walker
Sam is an absolute nobody yet people are trying to stop him, like they are afraid of him.
It's hilarious. And to be honest, his work is not that funny at all, but all this bullshit around it and the fact that the man is more meme then man is.
Christian Sanchez
They have some great Veeky Forums recommendations
Jaxson James
>yet people are trying to stop him, like they are afraid of him. >trying
they have stopped him. he is pretty much blacklisted from mainstream comedy. but ultimately they've lost: gen z is going to be far more conservative and far less pc than our latest generation.
Chase Green
Depressed Sam from circa 2012-13 is the most devasting Sam
>My Son! My Son's a genius, he fixed my COMPE-UTAH like dat! He's gonna grow up to be a big important guy, just you wait and see....
Brandon Sullivan
This thread is still heere?????????
If it's ont the meme trilogy i dont give a fuq
Camden Bennett
Nah, MDE is so much better than these shitty memes
Adrian Nelson
I agree with this post but I think he's pretty funny often still.
Robert Ortiz
Not really. And I don't even really hate MDE or Sam Hyde in general like that.
But I could see how this would seem the very height of comedy to some. Particularly if they were still in their teen years and very crawling in my skin about it all.
Tim Heidecker is a disingenuous, scheming snake though.
Dylan Reed
I mean this post which was reposted after being deleted:
Kevin Edwards
Caught me out. A typo fucked the context.
I do think Sam is doing some important social commentary in his own way, for what it's worth. To silence him really does scream fascism. Though I'm sure the left think themselves completely immune to that charge these days.
Jack Anderson
Actually I think his view of society and politics is buttfuck retarded but he's still funny
Jack White
We can still both agree that Tim Heidecker is a piece of shit though
Jaxon Gray
I know Sam is loved by a lot of ethno-nationalist types and I'm not a white person but I still value free speech and their right to it in open democracy more than the potential wounding of my "feewings" when they do speak.
The left can very easily veer toward fascism in trying to stamp out what they disagree with and I don't think a lot of them - particularly the "woke" younger types - have really woken up to that yet.
John Jones
desu that latest hydewars vid with him crying over a tumor afflicted fan was pretty human of him
Logan Thomas
they jsut need to realize there's nothing we can do about climate change (we're already fucked) and dead brown people (they'll just kill each other). they should just sit ack and enjoy what little time we have left
Ryan Reyes
Remember back when people that Sam/MDE was FYAD? Haha he was totes 100% Veeky Forums all along bitches. Fuck you.
Tyler Lewis
more of this and less shitty /pol/ memetism pls
Cameron Baker
That post is shit and uses the plural of simulacrum inappropriately.
Sebastian Campbell
SAMMY IS MY GOD.
Joseph Roberts
Sam Hyde is a guy, but people say jokes about him. Ergo he isn't real but hyperreal, which is like being real but on the internet.
Brayden Robinson
>implying he didn't do that on purpose >missing the joke so hard you're a retard baby
Charles Hill
We encourage good diction on Veeky Forums.
Michael Stewart
His ted talk was great.
Ryan Evans
Nick Land and Jordan Peterson are exactly the same age. I wonder if this means something.
Sebastian Edwards
peterson has some points of interest but it's clouded by his blatant nu-fascist streak. nick land is just autistic.
Hunter Moore
Carl Jung was associated with fascists. Definitely something to think about.
Hunter Roberts
Still cant' believe that thinking laws about gender pronouns are bad can make someone a fascist.
Hunter Gray
Jung was more focused in his field though, Peterson is blatantly venturing out into this intellectual subliminally socio-political self-help field. But yeah both are similar in that they have some insight but use the intellectual front to promote their more zany views.
Xavier Cook
Have you watched his lectures? Not even on gender pronouns, watch his "self-help" shit like maps of meaning and pay attention.
Jaxon Rivera
he was working for the cia (really)
Jacob Rogers
How Marxistly do I have to pay attention to him to realize he's a fascist?
Landon Rivera
Zany views like communism doesn't work and religion is a human universal?
Jose Sullivan
lmao don't think for yourself just keep on sucking his dick, conduit.
Dominic Thomas
I actually disagree wiht him on basic metaphysical principles.
Carson Murphy
lmao it's like none of you have watched his lectures in a way where you don't view him in the same jesus-figure way that atheists viewed harris/dawkins in the early 2010s.
Joshua Sanders
I just enjoy his Biblical exegesis, honestly.
Mason Sanders
lol
Aaron Clark
as i said before he has some insight, but letting that insight influence your view on the other shit he says is just bad.
Tyler Anderson
bad is too technical of a term, buddy
Luke Howard
Yeah that video hurts
Asher Cruz
Still want to know what egregious wrongspeak Peterson is guilty of.
Brayden Campbell
lmao how's his gender dysphoria dick
Zachary Sanders
watch his fucking lectures and listen for anything that concerns power dynamics.
Nathan Watson
Have any examples...? I've watched a bunch of his videos and I don't know what you are talking about.
William Gonzalez
user's probably talking about something like this
"Authority and its danger play central roles in interesting tales, because human society is hierarchical, and because the organized social world is omnipresent. Authority and power manifest themselves, implicitly or explicitly, in all human relationships; we have never lived—cannot live—without others. The fact of power relationships and authority constitutes an eternally challenging and necessary constant of the human domain of experience."
From Maps of Meaning, page 103 of the ebook version.
Robert King
Meant to respond to
Ryan Baker
proving the point
the way people just accept obviously fake conspiracy theories like PizzaGate just goes to show how far we've declined, its not just stupidity it's insanity too
Samuel Walker
Ok, I don't really see how you can disagree with that statement. I was unde the impression that pretty much everyone from Fascists to Marxists to Structuralists all agreed with this to some extend.
Camden Bennett
i was talking more about his self-help segments when he implies how one should look towards others as to how to think and behave.
Kayden Garcia
Yes, I'm pretty sure this advice was targeted towards people with social anxiety stemming from a lack of social skills.
What would your advice be? Invent new forms of human communication and test them out on people only to be cut down and spiral further into anxiety?
Someone who is socially well adjusted conforms with his or her peers to a certain extent because to communicate we have to use forms of communication that have common meaning and significance.
Adrian Rivera
and you just summed up his entire subliminal socio-political agenda disguised as intellectual self-help. i'm sorry if you suffer from social anxiety but there's no room for some nervous cunt who's willing to spout whatever everyone else is saying because he's scared of disapproval. if you want to do self-help then do that, don't mix everything into one and brainwash young naive idiots who will stick their assholes out for a grain of approval.
Anthony Sanchez
I don't have social anxiety because I understand enough of human interaction to successfully navigate social landscapes. Peterson said, and I'm paraphrasing of course, that some of his clients social anxiety stemmed from the fact that they were literally never taught how to interact with other people socially. People aren't born as social beings, we have to learn it through a process of Socialization (this is a very large field of study by the way, it isn't some kooky self-help bullshit). Peterson talked about a client who didn't really know how to introduce themselves or greet strangers in one of his videos so felt extremely uncomfortable in new social situations. The solution was to practice those skills.
You seem to be confusing learning certain skills or ideas with a wholesale buying in of a culture or social system.
Nathaniel Flores
>I don't have social anxiety because I understand enough of human interaction to successfully navigate social landscapes. Lmao.
You sound like you suck his dick on a regular basis. I'm not the one confusing those two things, he is, and you can't see it because his semen is in your eyes. Rub it off.
Adam Morgan
I'm just going to assume you're full of shit until you give a detailed explanation of what's wrong with what he said.
Asher Evans
Well time to cancel my own of Fanged Nouemna
Jose Jackson
I already told you what to look for, I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince you since you clearly don't want to be convinced.
Adrian Cooper
Actually I do want to be convinced, and that's why I'm asking you, retard. Now tell me.
Anthony Long
>Please spoonfeed me information, retard I wonder why you definitely don't have social anxiety, lol.
Nathan Allen
i"m actually someone else, now spoonfeed me because i'm too lazy to watch like 20 hour-long videos, nigger
Connor Flores
>maybe if i suck off the europeans enough they'll like me
you're such a cuck
Chase Johnson
I'm mostly on his team and the rest of his following, but what I really hate about the frogtwitter and him is this constant glorification of "muh engineers", coming from a bunch of dudes who couldn't even fix a car if it broke down.
Aiden Reed
>I"m actually someone else haha
Owen Hernandez
He's an ugly loser that pretends to be alt-right ironically but unironically in an attempt to feel better about himself.
Juan Watson
Americans are fanatics. They live very volatile lives and have little sense and patience for scrutiny and measuredness. It is sometimes to continentals their own detriment that we don't have this sort of wrecklessness, which allows for an increase in our experiential horizon that would help us more than stoic distance.
But again, yeah, Americans are the most kneejerk of peoples. Easiest to troll.
