Do you think part Pynchon's point (at least in his GR and pre-GR era) is a position that all the people that are paranoid are missing the scarier reality that no one is in control? Because i'm kind of conflicted about it. That seems to be an accurate reading of Lot 49 and possibly GR in so far as that everyone trying to control shit is incompetent but I don't think his short stories and V really bear that out and the fact that people actually are following Slothrop seems to oppose that reading in my mind. I can't remember who even planted that seed in my mind, but it just seems like bullshit the more carefully I read him. It seems like he's a lot more open to real conspiracies existing but aware that they never really pan out the way they're constructed in the minds of the paranoid.
Also, I don't think you've ever talked about Gaddis and I'd be interested in your take.
PS: I'm not going to fuck you, so don't hit on me. I'm bi but I think we're generations too far apart to make it work even if you would make me laugh. Feel free to ask me shit about myself if you want to try and live vicariously through someone that may be the only extant example of a culturally erudite, non-autistic millennial (23) on this board or the internet.
PPS: Don't worry about your trip. I'll know if it's you by the way you write.
>may be the only extant example of a culturally erudite, non-autistic millennial Prove it.

I'm assuming you're not-not-pynchon. I was hoping Veeky Forums's innate outrage would keep this thread alive and this seems like a good sign
How would you prefer me to prove it? A wide ranging explanation of my interests and readings of various works in Literature, Music, Film and even Video Games.
Or, should I just produce arbitrary top 10 lists in many different subjects for easy mocking that fit the interests of this board more closely considered discussion?
Oliver Mitchell
Just give me the lists, senpai.
Nolan Cox
You can't prove it. You're just some fuck with a huge ego. Neither would prove anything.
Jaxson Ross
I have trouble believing that there are people that obtuse. My money's on OP being a ruseman.
Angel Reyes
>>Just give me the lists, senpai. Disappointing. Fine. Yes, Veeky Forums I'm better than you. Behold the precious lists, but they're going to be top 8s for some reason...
Pale Fire Gravity's Rainbow Molloy JR Hopscotch Ulysses The Public Burning As I Lay Dying
Ege Bamyasi White Light / White heat Deceit World of Echo My Life in the Bush of Ghosts 77 Live Drum's Not Dead This is Happening
Persona Sans Soleil A Brighter Summer Day L'Avventura Woman in the Dunes Mirror Network Ran
Suikoden II Metal Gear Solid 2 Planescape Torment Silent Hill 2 Fallout 2 System Shock 2 Final Fantasy VI Kentucky Route Zero
A master ruseman.
Noah Jones
I don't understand what's going on here.
Who's Prince Lucio Rimanez?
Jordan Phillips
>A master ruseman Wait, are you not-pynchon?
Josiah Smith
I think we'd all like to know.
No. But it is possible I'm someone else important, no? I could be Barron Trump for instance.
Grayson Clark
OP's faggotry considered, the lists aren't bad.
Who is this Rimanez, OP?
Asher Allen
Get off this fucking board with LARPing and posturing.
We don't need that fucking pseud coming back. We're full.
Brandon Martinez
He's a guy a bunch of people thought was Pynchon because he was funny and knew a lot about Shakespeare.
Alexander Green
You have absolute shit taste >Those meme novels >Those meme objectively bad musics >Those shit, obscure movies >shitty games from the 90s
Repeat after me: Obscure =/= good
Brayden Gutierrez
dumb phoneposter
Isaac Gutierrez
nice lists user
although it is p evident that you only play video games and stole that "taste" from c-col threads over in /tv/, some semi-obscure trash from /mu/ (modulo the LCD soundsystem) blah blah blah
nah i'm just kidding, that's what a salty frogposter would say. good taste all around, esp dig the eno, but gotta say that can is a typical /mu/-tripfag pick. just sayin my man
Isaiah Johnson
>good taste all around kys The guy hasn't put an effort in to have a taste for lit, film, music, or vidya. Those lists are as pedestrian as it gets. It's embarrassing that you are defending this retard.
Joshua Garcia
those lists aren't at all worth bragging over. it's prototypical taste for each respective board, if anything.
or is he not bragging and merely baiting? damn you little millennial shits i am so confused.
Josiah Wood
gr8 b8 m8, r8 8/8
Eli Watson
Good to see that, as I suspected, posting any list of things will cause people to argue about it and keep the thread alive.
Does anyone want to talk About what I've said of Pynchon and paranoia while we wait for the prince?
So, Errol, tell us about Rumsfeld. Does he wear a mask?
Colton Thomas
well. as you know rumsy is a neocon, like wolfowitz and the whole team b. and straussians believe in the honorable lie, just like plato did. see the dark knight by nolan. if you refer to this. yes he probably wears a mask as he creates a veil between public appearance and private motives (if he has any)
