No voice here, nothing individual. Start from scratch. As long as you try to write, instead of speaking to the reader, nothing will work

sunrise in two hours
wake in six
my friend is depressed
and i imagine light beams in the sky that consist of forthy thousand million particles
Particles live! Don't doubt it, believe it.
then we can have dinner together with no arguments
interrupting the procedures
If you eat too much...
It doesn't matter to me anymore
I accept you the way you are and
refrain from judgement your "erratic behaviour"
you're welcome
but don't overstay it

thoughts?

Okay guys let's turn this into a serious discussion. I don't wanna talk about trip because how could you judge it if you haven't read it but i get a lot of stick for my novels on this board, despite being widely acknowledged as one of the most interesting and talented writers of our time.

Make good arguments as to why my books aren't great and i will try to refute them.

That book by Houellebecq

>Guys, intellectually I'm all spooked out.

If this means that your intellect is more of a huge collection of low-tier spooks, then you're right. This post was embarrassing desu.

Nietzsche has pointed out that his "Untimely Ones", the "Unzeitgemäßen Betrachtungen", his second work, though, as he has claimed, it preceded The Birth of Tragedy and can as such be read as his original work, that these reflections on culture, history and philosophy, are the best introduction to his work. He stated that people should read this work, before tackling his others, as to see whether his words and ideas created a deep resonance or not. It is, with Zarathustra, his work that is written with the greatest pathos and unlike Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche held them in high esteem until the very end of his life. Academia and the literary circles seem to ignore this work, but i encourage everyone who is interested in Nietzsche to start with this work.


"Ich sehe etwas Höheres und Meschlicheres über mir, als ich selber bin, helft mir alle, es zu erreichen, wie ich jedem helfen will, der Gleiches erkennt und am gleichen leidet: damit endlich wieder der Mensch entstehe, welcher sich voll und unendlich fühlt im Erkennen und Lieben, im Schauen und Können, und mit aller seiner Ganzheit an und in der Natur hängt, als Richter und Werthmesser der Dinge."

Mishima was heavily formed by Nietzsche's philosophy, it was through him that he "discovered" the greeks. I simply (i'm that Anon, was on a different pc) pointed out how Nietzsche's though is an extension of Stirners, as the post i replied to referenced Stirner.

>What is not explored at all is the real of japanese philosophy, as it is exemplified by the living japanese today: ultra-consumerist, extremely conservative, cowardly, escapist, ignorant of the world and innately self absorbed.
