I went to my local Barnes and Noble in my city to buy some of the Junji Ito´s collections that viz media is putting out in the market. I´m not a huge manga fan but Junji Ito´s work really captivated my attention, although i read him through the lens of Lovecraft, which in terms of Junji Ito´s narrative, the nipon artist seems closer to pulp fiction than to any type of Lovecraftian anti-humanist ethos. And this is the main difference between pulp fiction and Lovecraft, literary critics tend to compare the two, but they're wrong: pulp fiction is Lovecraft without the essence of the anti-anthropological basis of the Lovecraftian ethos.
Anyway, I went to the Starbucks café that´s within the Barnes and Noble establishment to eat some hot chocolate chip cookies and a pepsi. While sitting down and enjoying my food i noticed an interesting conversation between a college professor and a gigachad. They were talking about philosophy, particularly about the existentialist school (Camus, Sartre, etc). I was intrigued by the conversation and I decided to interrupted them in order to participate in it: they were pleased by my participation, so we exchange contacts.
Eventually, the pessimist philosopher, Schopenhauer, was brought into the table and subsequently i decided to talk about the incel question and its relationship with 19th century German pessimism. While we were discussing this issue, the gigachad said that "celibacy seems like a great option if you want to achieve other goals in life, such as those related with intellectual achievements." I was clearly impressed by his statement and I couldn´t refute it. Sexual sublimation is necessary to achieve intellectual achievement: the more systematic philosophy (scholasticism) was done by priests in Medieval times for a reason.
Do you think his comment was a form of cope? I´m sure that the guy, since he's a gigachad (nice height, hunter eyes, muscles, jaw line) can find sexual success, but he seems to be dismissive about it. Should I be dismissive about it too and make the transition to volceldom? What do you guys think?
