Hegel

Was Hegel a hack, as our boy Schop puts it?

I'll let you in on a secret: no one here has read Hegel.

Nobody anywhere has read Hegel.

Anybody who says they have read Hegel is lying.

reading Hegel titillates my head, I mean this literally, I feel the kind of sensation running around the inside of my skull that I feel when a girl puts her tongue on that weird line of skin that connects the glans to the shaft

I make weird moaning gestures and then close the pdf after a couple minutes, sated but confused, and like the girl's body lays there after the orgasm, pregnant with mystery, I see in my recently closed windows 'Phenomenology of Spirit.pdf', and I wonder what it holds

What the actual fuck

I feel the same way desu

...

this desu senpai

Yes. This man , unlike fucking shopenhauer, has certainly read Hegel.

what does hegel mean by "spirit" and why is it so important?

I took a class on Hegel. It was only a single semester. We read tiny morsels of the phenomenology together. I think the professor was reading it for the first time too. It laid itself out before us like the dharmic manuals of the jhanas. When the book was finally completed we entered into a nirvana of absolute spirit, leaving behind samsara and dialectics.
