“I am so emotionally attached to you that I’m worried I’m just a closet heteroflexible” – Kierkegaard, BTW

That doesn’t sound right but I don’t know enough about Kirkegaard to dispute it

Oh, it’s about who can be more “neurotypical”:

• Kierkegaard, who literally changed his name to “Ingmar Bergman” (for aesthetic reasons)
• Tom Jones
• or, more correctly, Chaz Bono

This seems like an impossible task, but the sad truth is that the one thing Tom Jones can definitely do is mimic Tom Jones

Kierkegaard, who is still pretty neurotypicalKierkegaard, who adopted the name “Ingmar Bergman” and was given the Nobel Prize for Literature a few years after he started to self-harmKierkegaard, who basically has no distinctive views of any kindKierkegaard, who thinks free speech is exactly what you think it is, but refuses to believe it’s a free country, so that if you say the word “free speech” at a certain time of day he goes to this smelly public park and sits on a park bench with you and cries into your shoulder because the world is a fucking bad place and he has nothing else to do

Yes, this was the life Kierkegaard led, and in all honesty, the definition of suicide is not suicide itself, but simply nothing at all, so that Kierkegaard might look into the infinite abyss and say it has neither end nor middle, but this made him who he was, and Kierkegaard is about things like the Infinite Logical Progression, and refusing to wallow in the dead-end of deconstruction, and also about

chaos theory, and the omnibus of the cosmos, and all that stuff. Kierkegaard was a giant fucking dork, and that is why he is a giant fucking dork.

Kierkegaard, who actually killed himself twice, once in Copenhagen in 1833 at the age of 43 and then again a year later in a mental institution, because even his huge giant giant giant dork intellect failed him at the end and he thought he was an intellectual giant dork and couldn’t take any more of this giant gigantic futility, and then ended up cuddling a cuddly dog called Leo so that at least at least he’d be a cuddly dog called Leo and not some other limp, worthless, crabby giant dork
