No because it's like having an editor beside you.

Read this last year, gave it a 7.5 out of 10.
Great contribution to the Cyberpunk genre, cool concepts that I borrowed for my own writing purposes.
Cool story as well, the narrative on how the (((elites))) are and will always be a bunch of pedos is reflective of the current world.

Great mind-bending network sci-fi, like connecting your brain to a camera and seeing through it, getting trapped in cyberspace and slowly fading away, hacking people's tec and killing them with brutal viruses, self-inserting your conscious into an artificial body for sexual gratification (trans people's wet dream (probably something that will happen in the future)) and lots of other great shit that I love.

If you haven't read it and are a fan of Cyberpunk, highly recommend, also probably has one of the coolest cover ever.

Can anyone truly be a postmodernist? It seems to me that those who use postmodern rhetoric, just want to replace the current modernist structures with their own. They might even hold a linear view of history, which culminates in the liberation of "opressed" groups. This leads me to believe that its all a big psyop to force our compliance. Any books for this?

>Before the publication of his first novel, Becker-Green earned double-major in art history and Finance from Dartmouth University, followed by an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania. At 26, he launched the Brideshead Fund and raised $150 million to invest in distressed sovereign debt. Following the funds dissolution after earning an annualized return of 66% for seven years, Becker-Green purchased a sailboat, a 50 wooden-hulled yawl, which he named Shoshanna. While living aboard he completed a series of novellas, which he chose not to publish. His novel, Blackwatch, was written in a few weeks while anchored off Split, Croatia in a "whirlwind of inspiration."
>Becker-Green credits his artistic side to his parents. His father was a screenwriter who became a broadcasting executive and his mother was a painter who often sent poems and watercolors to family and friends. Becker-Green considers himself "retired from earning money" and intends to donate any proceeds from writing to historical preservation related charities.

You financially illiterate pseuds are missing the whole sovereign debt fund angle. Investing in distressed sov. debt is like on the most morally reprehensible things you can do.

The idea is that you have kids and try to give them what you didn't have. Then they grow up and try to give their kids what they didn't have, and so on forever. Your only option is to give yourself to the next generation even if it seems futile.
>>
>>23398620
This makes sense if your kids will inherit a world worth living in, but they won’t, anymore. Anyone with children who isn’t more focused on progressivism/leftism than material comfort is damning their own offspring.

>>23398493
Books on this concept? I’m curious.
>>
>>23398990
No books off the top of my head, but from professional experience I can explain that it involves buying government bonds of failed/failing states or states and war and then using coercion (which can range from repossessing the state's assets to in some cases actively funding rebel movements/coups) to force the repayment of the bonds. There is a softer side to it, such as helping the countries stabilize and develop and get the loans repaid that way, but it's such a morally dubious venture that I'd be very suspicious of any firm undertaking it, even if they claim to doing it the ethical way.

I fell for a few too many /g/ memes and now write everything in Vim. As far as plugins go, I use Goyo, which margins the page to appear inline with a word processor, and vim-pencil, which lets me use J and K to move between displayed lines rather than paragraphs. When editing, I activate the built-in spellcheck. I used to experiment with a handful of grammar tools but decided that it was something I should intrinsically know; as of now, I go at it raw with a copy of The Elements of Style.

When one applies their mind rationally they take one measure of justification and apply it to one measure of a matter.

When one applies their mind irrationally, they apply unlike measures to unlike measures.

In reference to rational application of mind and irrational application of mind, this sutta is relevant: https://suttacentral.net/an1.306-315/en/sujato

310
“Mendicants, I do not see a single thing that gives rise to wrong view, and once arisen, makes it grow like irrational application of mind. When you apply the mind irrationally, wrong view arises, and once arisen it grows.”

311
“Mendicants, I do not see a single thing that gives rise to right view, or, once it has already arisen, makes it grow like rational application of mind. When you apply the mind rationally, right view arises, and once arisen it grows.”

The number of books you read is a completely useless stat to compare who has the biggest literary dick. Person A reads 21. Person B reads 60. Who read more?
Person A actually read more. 21 books of 900 pages vs 60 books of 300 pages.
