Reddit mentions of The King and the Corpse: Tales of the Soul's Conquest of Evil

>Spectacle is real and in everyone's life. I am typing on a phone. I watch Netflix, I use the Internet. That hardly means I engage in virtue signaling even if you are quick to identify coherent propositions as somehow necessarily political.
Why would I care about a leftist goalkeeper or a Rightwing signal recipient? This is ridiculous. Because you are submerged in political inertia therefore everyone is?

i'm not saying you should care. i was just curious as to how you would react to that criticism. I don't care for the established rules myself.

> What are your thoughts?

I am a visual artist. I am interested in the spectacle. I find Marxism interesting but I find it repulsive as a belief system. In my own work I am interested in the possibility of meaning in illegibility, and find it fulfilling to excavate new meaning in the way the (especially global) spectacle corrupts language (of all kinds). My interest in magic mostly goes as far as its relation to art, and how art can be a form of magic.

left field question- Have you ever read The King and the Corpse?

I read a lot of campbell and some jung and kerenyi around ten years ago but abandoned that field of study as I found it too oppressively comprehensive in scope, in a way that felt disingenuous.

reading the review it seems like it might connect too many dots for my taste, but perhaps it's interesting
