I like the dostoevskian lifestyle one a lot

>>22832390

here's a twitter post but it's a good one

Quick someone post MY writing!

>>22832508
Reminds me of when I bought a DVD of The Birth of a Nation from the thrift store for the meme value, and the cashier was a black lady. She didn't react to it though, she seemed bored with her job past the point of caring.

>>22832428
i like to think that 'rouge' for 'rogue' is intentional (i.e. the fictional character says 'rouge')

>>22832496
i would sincerely print this out and frame it if it were socially acceptable

>>22832410
Never got this one.

Damn Germans sound based as fuck.

>>22832666
This is just another shaking fist from the cold outside (humanities) staring at the warm inside (STEM)

>>22832666
The coldest equation busted out by a heartless soulless corporation, the dumbest silliest computer program was still attended to by an attentive diligence developed by a greater sacrifice than a liberal arts professional masturbator. The liberal arts leisurely never has had to take a stand against the drowsy masses in quiet disdain and unrequited sunk cost feelings of detachments. The technician can have aesthetics. However it is easy to bully nerds. Hephaestus was disfigured in the mythic lore but nowhere are artists faithful to the message above their own career of masturbatory titiliation. All statues of "hephaestus" might as well be of apollo or even of a culture blind Baldur male norse god of radiant beauty. Hephaestus attends to details too dry for the sultry orgies of Olympus.

>>22832586
even if this was a joke its insane. good lord

>>22833253
It doesn't even make sense

>>22833250
>detailed

>The technician can have aesthetics
Kek, stemfags really have no idea what aesthetic means. You can't make this shit up

>>22833641
The point went over your head. Hephaestus is a grody ugly mong. That is an aesthetic. But he is the ugly mong worth emulating.

>>22833715

kek thanks for sharing anon

>>22832427
First week on /lit/ and this is fucking gold, i need to come here more often

>>22834194
All I, and other anons who make this place any good ask is that you get extremely, autistically acquainted with a topic of specialization and say very little outside of it.

>>22832458
>this routine has got me laid 6 times
Nice

>>22832586
>baby born white
>baby born black(not shocking)
Bruh
>birth video leaked to porn website
Hot. Sauce?

>>22834199
How specialized a topic are we talking?

>>22834278
More than the basic /lit/core reading---a movement or genre you like, a philosophical topic taken on at a graduate level, an author where you read about him as much as you read him. "I read all these because I liked x, here's what I found about contemporary works" is a whole lot more interesting than "I read x, I liked it, anything else like it?" Show some initiative, it gets better discussion and recs. Not like there's a high bar around here.

>>22834285
Don't lie to the newfag. The second you get above the lowbar of /lit/ general knowledge on any subject or author you get zero meaningful replies

>>22834194
Livre da perenne gaudium

>>22834436
Normies are stupid uncreative retards that have no idea what the creative process involves. If he just knew that they were projecting their own insecurities, there would be no reason to suffer so much. He could even have come up with new ideas while he talked to them if he was a little bit more intelligent.

>>22832458
how do you go from calling them a kaffir whore and spitting at their feet to getting laid? I feel like anon is glossing over some important details here.

>>22832666
read that in his voice

>>22832497
it's been what, 4000 years? and there's still not moral absolutist argument that doesn't reduce to
>let morality be objective
>therefore morality is objective by definition, QED

>>22832508
this is funny until you remember that niggers can hardly read

>>22834436
>>22834454
This is nonironically me. My immediate social circles revolve around literal NPCs who write screenplays regarding trannie idelogues and big pharma advertisments. When I share my short stories, which are mainly pieces of autofiction personal to me, they explain how they lack focus and suggest shit like "maybe the protagonist is on the run from the police" or "maybe make it an allegory about modern social issues like BLM".
I would leave them willingly. Alas, I have no other friends. They offer me material comfort, at least.

>>22832740
>italian
opinion discarded sorry guido

>>22834455
Because girls internalise their own self-loathing issues and are attracted to men who are blantantly misogynistic. Not even in an incel way, >>22832458 was clearly joking. But it also speak's to why the book is so popular amongst women. Because as the other anon said: it is fetishing rape and oppression behind a thinly veiled dystopian narrative. Women eat that shit up, because they can relate to it sexually. They find being treated poorly incredibly sexy.

>>22834278
having a PhD (in anything) or at least being a PhD student (in anything) is a good start. stick with your peers in /v/ and such if you're still in undergrad.

>>22834455
>*how do you NOT go from calling them a kaffir whore and spitting at their feet to getting laid?
fixed it

>>22832496
I remember this post. Pretty accurate observation

>>22834650
Indeed, it was a pleasure to be there.

>>22832666
I guess pure artfags and puretechfags are hardwired different, and this is why they have a different opinion on what is truly "aesthetic". They can be both right and wrong on the path of attaining the aesthetic(usually the artfag will say that glorious and detailed is aesthetic while the techfag will say the effective and organized is aesthetic) but the root of aesthetic is: Something simple, yet powerful enough to cause huge ripples

>>22834658
Lmao based rapist appreciator, if you found a less lewd manner to mock our society, you would be a millionaire. I think the rape story should have been part of some bigger struggle. Normies can forgive that if you distract them with something normal and shock them with these kinds of narratives from time to time. You have to build it up, you can't start a story with this,

>>22834669
Pseud post, that's the worst definition for aesthetics I've ever heard. Your idiotic 'art/tech' dichotomy shows a childlike understanding of the world

>>22832738
I recognize this, it’s actually from a letter from Chandler (Raymond Chandler, not the Friends guy who died recently) making fun of sci-fi many many decades ago. It was actually a prescient coincidence that he came up with the phrase “Google” telling him something, long before Google ever existed.

>>22834097
my favorite work in regards to the bechdel test is Beau Travail, which technically passes it on account of an exchange of dialogue that lasts about ten seconds and has no bearing on the plot, occurs in the first two minutes of the movie, and is never mentioned again, after which women don't even appear in the film, which was written and directed by a woman. i can't help but think it was an intentional joke

>>22833936
I exclusively approach women who show no signs of interest in me as a means to punish them for their disinterest in me.

Did he ever post the link to the full novela. I also thought of doing something like this. This will get published for the shock value and somehow it will be anti racist.

>>22832467

>german trains on time
this shit is made up

>>22832390


>TransHyper-Traditionalism ,or "Walpurgisnacht-φρόνησς" is the only logical step forward.
>The premise in surmise is trascendence-towards-the-nadir where we take all the traditionalist's principles and iconography and put them through the blender of a fully unleashed embrace of all contemporary depravity, trusting that the deliberate exertion of our Will is sufficient to maintain a connection with the Transcendent. while thus evading any diametric opposition to the demos of our age (in a quasi-Taoist maneuver of simultaneously identifying and refraining from identifying ) this will also make for the maximally robust and reliable framework of incessant synthesis i.e. establishes a genuine, practical participation with the Ideal which is no longer an abstract but becomes something we can finally sink our teeth into. By cultivating such an intense understanding of the vertical aspects of Being you are able to properly coordinate your activity along any assumed horizontal plane of immanence. As a result you always have a transcendental vantage which establishes a resilient correspondent dimension of meaning that grounds the contingent and "reveals" it along the lines of Heideggerian ἀλήθεια. The Absolute thus permeates the non-absolute through our acts of savage, improvised theurgy and we escape the "vulgar" dialectic that functions accorording to the telluric "demos" which conditions most psyches as well as the vapid nihilistic "wasteland" whose growth Nietzsche warned of.
>And so the fundamental nature and texture of your relation with modern life becomes charged with a significance that redeems the personal unconditionally in the suprapersonal rhythms and norms of Absolute Being. This also opens up basically infinite outlets for the potential activity you can now undertake since you will always be "above" it, so to speak. A truly liberated trans-Self now develops who is capable of acting out in all directions since all contingent topography (finite space and time) have been bathed in the sanctifying fires of a Dionysian crucifixion which continually transfers and transcends and so transfixes this prefix of "trans" to all things. This is the ethos which grounds me as I go on to explore the extremes of the whole "trans" thing in regards to sex since I see it as the cutting edge of the forces that are driving the world, and an opportinity to investigate the plasticity of the grosser self as well as the concreteness of my theory. At night I wear a be-glittered silver wig and squeeze myself into the sluttiest dress my emaciated figure can slip into. I immerse myself in the technological grime and orgasmic joys of utter hypermodern degeneration and witness all of these gutted souls pulverized by the Kali Yuga. And during the day I pop HRT while perusing Men Among the Ruins and The Reign of Quantity and watching HMV.
>Thoughts?

>>22836220
So you're just reposting own your post from 2 years ago because it's your favorite? If you're not the author, why do you pass along the request "Thoughts?" onto us with open hand. If you don't have any concrete thoughts about the original post, none at all, how are you confident it was worth sharing? Is the board a dumping ground for you, is that what you think happens here, who are we to you?

Searching Jordan Peterson up on warosu and sorting by oldest first must be interesting, I've had a quick look and quite a few people were calling him a genius before he blew up, so well done those anons on finding him.

>>22832576
The joke is that the anon's taste in vidya is the same as his professional interest: cripplingly limited. Anon has $450k in debt, works McJobs to scrape buy, and plainly views posting on 4chan as a last resort for social interaction.
When another anon reaches out, offering to play Counterstrike with them, OP states that they only play a somewhat obscure single-player game. In other words, OP is continuing to fuck himself over because he doesn't want to actually change in the slightest way.

>>22838417
To continue that anon's post. Back in 2017 when he wrote that 4chan still knew (mostly) what the terms "reddit" and "redditor" meant, had nothing to do with ideology but was about fundamental style and purpose; in /lit/ speak 4chan became a bunch of plotfags around 2017 and forgot where they came from and who they were on that core level. It hurts to think about the nuance we have lost in those words, to call someone a redditor was not just waving swastika tattooed dick at anyone who disagreed with you. Intended to go into more detail and continue the story but now i am depressed.

>>22838417
>>22839569
Today, Redditor just means thing or person I don’t like. No nuance whatsoever. No meaning either. With the internet becoming ubiquitous and the rise of social media, the barriers between sites fell down. Tribalism became more prevalent and many zoomers don’t realize there was a 4chan culture outside of racism, sexism, Nazism, and whatever taboo ideologies. The newfags who have come to 4chan the last 5 years give or take come because of /pol/ and the /pol/ mentality has rotted their brain even more. It’s sad to see as a large portion of this site are just /pol/tards with Reddit tendencies. They have made this place unbearable and have spilled into every board

>He had never considered the difference between the first and the third person, he had just taken books and their own terms and accepted them, absorbed them into himself without question. This was his primary mode in life, to just accept and never reflect, never see himself through the eyes of others or realizing that literature is just a mirror without the flaws. She knew this and felt it on the most basic of levels, those levels which can never be understood and only accepted; who we are and who we desire to be and the disconnect between the two which can never be resolved. She saw him as he could never see himself and so she rejected his advances; the one time in life he really took a risk to see himself as he really was but he failed to realize that he could be more.

I've read Flight to Lucifer and this is the funniest fucking post in this thread. Bloom is such a hack.

>>22838426
I'm very, incredibly (in the literal sense of the word) mystified by people who hate their mothers. My mother was and is a Dutch-West Indian immigrant who came to America floating on a door and used to fetch her father beer in a fucking bucket with a piece of beer in it so that it didn't foam. She literally lived in bronze-age feudalism where the whites fucking ran everything, and the lower caste indians were slaves who viewed their Aryan masters as demigods. Her mother was raped by a white man and had her, and that same mother, who was alive until 2012, basically described it as the best thing that ever happened to her because her triplets were all blonde.

So, my mom fucked another white guy, and had me, a blue-eyed gigachad. I can break walnuts with my bare hands. When I was in grade school I punched a girl right in the face for no reason because the girls would not stop flocking around me and bothering me. I did this two or three times, and each time the amount of girls around me increased instead of decreasing. This has been my entire life since I was 12. Now at work, I get drunk and scream at people and everyone tells me I'm hypercompetent and that they need me in their division to scream at people because they can't. All of this traces back to my mother, who would scream at people in public and just keep screaming until they apologized. I have never hated my mother, it's inconceivable to me. I hate my father for fucking a brown woman and not keeping her under control, but I've never hated her.

I think this must be part of the physiognomy of politics, because I'm super right-wing despite being a spic bastard and I can only attribute this to my relationship with my parents. Yeah I love my mom, but what kind of person would want MORE of her in the country?

>>22841225
Oh, I just realized the difference. My mother was a Nazi (literally her dad was a Dutch volunteer member of the SS who jumped ship on a ship out of the Baltics after Kursk) and thus I a was raised by a Nazi mischling. Is it a far-right thing to love your parents?

>>22841225
Also, a piece of butter in the bucket. If you put any butter or milk into a container, even a small amount, and then pour beer into it it won't foam.

>>22841117
exceptionally based

>>22841225
Women reject their own children and husbands to elope with strangers all the time. This isn't exactly rocket science. Some women even turn a blind eye to domestic child abuse and blame their children for encouraging it or for desiring their man. Some single mothers blame their children for taking away their dreams or careers while they were in their prime. Parents can be really fucked up, you just have very little life experience if people hating heir parents is news to you.

>Women eat that shit up, because they can relate to it sexually. They find being treated poorly incredibly sexy.
this has been one of the strangest things that I've realized. doesn't mean you can spit in a woman's face and she drops her pants, but there's a reason why the "bad boy" archetype exists, there's a reason why so many romance novels feature a cold, angry man. on some level the misogyny turns them on. most would NEVER admit it. but it does

/lit/ sucked him off for years and years. he was this epic le based litcritic at yale who wrote a lot of books about the Western Canon. but before that he was known as a Romanticist who wrote a few books on the Romantic poets/Shelley. iirc he basically singlehandedly saved Shelley's reputation, he was on his way out (little read, less appreciated) before bloom earned his stripes so to speak by defending him. after that, he situated himself as the last defender of the canon and made a career out of wailing and moaning about its demise. every year or so he'd release another torrent of unedited slop where he'd just say the wildest shit. shakespeare invented introspection, nobody thought about themselves before shakespeare came up with it. the bible was written by a woman who intended it as a shits and giggles satire. etc, etc. he'd also drop withering critiques of popular books -- he famously hated Harry Potter, hated Stephen King -- and from time to time he would grab a legal pad and write a long essay bitching about how there was a book published by a black woman that year so it meant no one read tolstoy anymore or something. /lit/ loves to feel smarter than everyone else, especially when they can feel morally superior, and especially especially when they can feel superior while punching women/blacks/gays/whatever, so the board glommed onto this guy. of course /lit/ doesn't read. they thought (some still think) that bloom was this incredible scholar whose name made lesser critics shudder in their sleep, they had no idea that he was essentially a joke in academia and hadn't published respected work in decades, but he told people what they wanted to hear, and there's always a market for outrage. after his death, /lit/ has begun to realize that nobody took him seriously and that many of his opinions are bullshit, and now they're trying to pretend like they never liked him. time was every other fucking post on this board was a bloom reference.

It was a small group and most of /lit/ hated bloom posters because all they did was make mindless appeals to authority, regurgitate and shit on anything not in his canon.

lost it

>>22841480
I’d bet a good amount of the hate he gets today is because he was a Jewish critic and joos bad. I’ve only read the western canon book and while he certainly isn’t the best critic, he’s fine as an entry level one

It doesn't have to make sense. They export all the paradoxes of the norms they enforce onto men and expect nothing to deteriorate over time. Women don't have an organic concept of society.

Yes, don't let poltards discourage you from a lil oil drilling. Just wear a condom (I don't) if you want to avoid STDs and pregnancy. They have a more animalistic smell and give great head. There's nothing like a jungle bunny telling you afterwards that you colonized her pussy...

Interesting perspective.
Yeah, I like Bloom. But Bloom only writes well when he actually knows what he's talking about: Shakespeare.
Pic related is pretty much the only Bloom book worth getting. Keep it on your shelf so you can crack it open to the corresponding chapter after you see some given Shakespeare play, to see what he said about it. As to everything else the guy has written: it's just self-important nonsense.

Guess I may as well contribute myself

I sympathize, having had to watch the consentacle fetish get taken over by troons.
All the places online where you're able to look at that shit now are controlled by trannies who think not wanting to see a MAN get railed by a tentacle makes you a homophobe. You can't even start a consentacle thread on /d/ anymore without trannies spamming it up. They're like furries who spam threads with furshit, except at least furries don't control every single media platform and also the government.

A classic indeed. I actually felt compelled to turn it into a radio drama myself
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHZBrpziy7A

The graphics aren't great, since somebody else did them. Dude was from another country, and didn't quite get the "PBS / Public Radio" vibe I was going for. But I can't look a gift horse in the mouth, because he helped me with some of the audio-volume problems I was having.

The rest of it was 100% by me. Music choices, sound effects, voice acting... everything. I should probably do some other readings one of these days. We'll see if I ever get around to it lol

I once met a guy who said that the women in this book are basically undergoing the same sort of violation as men doing conscription and so they’re basically just whining. He kind of has a point given that successful handmaids are allowed to retire so they could be in and out in about 9-24 months or the same period most conscripts would serve. I don’t agree with conscription but I think if you accept conscription as okay then he’s basically correct.

>>22832420
See ? He did the basic error. He thought she would be an easier target since she's a chubby otaku compared to a successful bimbo for exemple, and it was actually the contrary. Because this bitch being fat probably got bullied and rejected her entire life, and her terrible personality is probably part of why she's reading mangas alone, to cope with her loneliness.
You don't believe me? You remember that woman who was called the final boss of the internets? That brunette cosplayer showing her tummy. Well she became an angry mysandrist. Many such case. Otakus are the most antisocial and so the more exposed to that woke switch. Men become unbearable white knights like Tom Preston, women become annoying neurotic feminist bitches.

>>22842017
Banal. Are you soulless?

>>22844788
She hasn't become more based, in fact she hasn't changed at all. Her feminist, pro woman, and often times misandrist views have remained stagnant in a world that has progressed beyond that. Trannies (men) now take priority over women in terms of victimisation, attention, media, sports, politics, and so on. All of this is almost always at the expense of real women (think men in womens bathrooms, men in womens prisons, men dominating womens sports competitions, etc.). J.K. Rowling hates trannies in so far as they negatively affect women, and possibly also due to her hating men. Trannies are inherently insulting to actual women, since they are just perverted men with the most superficial idea of what counts as being a woman, like wearing an ill fitting dress and acting like what a man thinks women behave like. See pic related for a male equivalent. I do applaud her for sticking by her values even when they have stopped trending, unlike the rest of the progressive sphere she was previously a part of several years ago.

Shoot.
Look man... I'm really sorry. I was so thrilled that you managed to do the thing at all that I didn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. You were a random stranger and not only did you fix my audio levels, you made a video to boot. Only the most abject of selfish retards would've complained about that at the time.
And you DID do a great video over all... I just don't think you were familiar with the tone of what I was originally satarizing. The graphics at the beginning are a tad too quickly-cut for what's supposed to be a PBS parody. And you also misspelled a few things in the subtitles.
But you did great overall. I'm sorry to insult your work like this. Hope you aren't angry with me going forward.

>>22844931
Uh... what kind of editor?
Oh shoot, you aren't my friend who connected with me over editing the "Oats" thing, are you?

It's utterly bizarre the complaints people throw against Martin's books. They're not without flaw but nearly every post trying to dunk on them seems to be based on a half-remembered watercolor synopsis of the show from a coworker a few years ago. Just entirely unfounded in even the most rudimentary engagement with the text.

>>22846491
Trannies are customers for life (which usually isn't too long but that's besides the point). There are the countless surgeries for multilating their genitals, breasts, face, the hormones they take regularly for their entire life, the weekly visits with their psychiatrists, the cost of the health complications that can arise later from everything I just mentioned, etc. They are the perfect consumers, they are totally reliant on the state/insurance companies and the medical industry, they don't know what they are, and thus can be sold literally anything, even base genetic identity.

>>22846418
Well, fuck. I'm guess I'm just going to have to find joy and meaning through my loving wife, children, and lifetime of service to my community.
You know, I have to say that I was almost 100% convinced that reflecting on a life of trying to impress fat, pretentious pseudointellectual faggots like you on the internet was going to afford me peace at the end of things.
Or was your point that I should find meaning in worshiping talentless, child-molesting libertines like Jackson Pollock or Andy Warhol? Was it sycophancy that molded YOU into the successful, debonair man-of-the-people you very clearly are based on the condemnations you sling anonymously on 4chan?

>>22846642

Not in the slightest. My point is that you should find meaning in the creation of art, not the mindless consumption of soulless computer generated images. If you hate modern art, do better yourself. That isn't a challenge because I think you're incompetent and think that you're incapable, it's a challenge because I think you are capable and yet refuse to put in the effort.

>>22846988
>Mindless consumption of computer generated images
What the fuck are you on about? I generated an image—in the sense that it could not have been generated without my prompt—for no other reason than to create an image that might compel people to laugh at something absurd. Whether you consider that art or not, I could give a fuck less. But if your position is that anything written with the purpose of being converted into a different medium can't be good art, then I hope you would concede that you think screenwriters and songwriters can't be good artists.
>If you hate modern art, then do better yourself.
You mean I have to do better than signing my name on a toiled? Well let me just go right on ahead and clear my fucking schedule, then.
>yet you refuse to put in effort.
Fuckin'...
what?
Effort for what? To achieve what end?
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what position it is you're trying to defend, but if we're having a discussion about what constitutes "good" art, this guy sums up my feelings pretty succinctly.
