David Foster Wallace

David Foster Wallace (February 21, 1962 – September 12, 2008) was an American writer and university professor in the disciplines of English and creative writing. His novel Infinite Jest (1996) was listed by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels published between 1923 and 2005.

His last novel, The Pale King (2011), was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2012.


The Los Angeles Times' David Ulin called Wallace "one of the most influential and innovative writers of the last twenty years".

Wallace died by suicide at age 46 after struggling with depression for many years.

He hanged himself.

Re: The VOID
I know someone who was diagnosed with "laughing depression" or smiling depression.

Those who are most surprised to realize they're experiencing some form of depression are those suffering from “smiling depression.” Most people haven’t even heard of the term. The definition of smiling depression is: appearing happy to others, literally smiling, while internally suffering with depressive symptoms. Smiling depression often goes undetected. Those suffering from it often discount their own feelings and brush them aside. They might not even be aware of their depression or want to acknowledge their symptoms due to a fear of being considered “weak.” Suicide can be a particular threat for individuals suffering with smiling depression. Typically, people suffering with classic, severe depression might have suicidal thoughts, but not the energy to act on their feelings. However, those suffering from smiling depression have the energetic ability to plan and follow through. This is why smiling depression can be more dangerous than a classic form of severe depression.

Thread: From Beirut to Hong Kong, the face of the Joker is appearing in demonstrations
Days after the global cinema release of the film 'Joker', the distinctive face of the titular comic-book villain began appearing in political demonstrations all over the world. It's still an underground phenomenon, but does this represent a new form of protest like the wearing of the ‘V for Vendetta’ mask?

From Chile to Lebanon, via Hong Kong and Iraq, a number of people have taken to wearing the recognisable exaggerated smile of the Joker currently portrayed in the cinema by Joaquin Phoenix in the international hit film by Todd Philipps. The face of the Joker, Batman's ultimate nemesis, has now been seen in masks, face paint and graffiti tags in global demonstrations protesting against governments.

 Quoting: Light of my Little Left Eye


The commencement speech he delivered was rather soul crushing. I see his point although that comes through the lens of someone who also battles depression.

I don't think most people really want to see and understand the harsh truths. I think people go out of their way, to shield themselves from them and I know why.

He mentions why in the spiritual crisis clip. More awareness is often a tradeoff to happiness. IOW, it's hard to function when you see it for what it is.

Like Dion said, laugh or hang.

Ignorance is bliss.

Philosophically, I don't think we're in the same page. Space and time are only real in the narrative context of an experience. They are not absolutes, but relative. The material world is an illusion. We can debate this if you like, but if our ideas greatly differ it may be a waste of time.
