Overreading makes you retarded.
>>24947453Stirner's philosophy is right but it's also psychopathic.
>>24947172Kind of interesting how Schopenhauer came up with the core of his philosophy when he was still relatively young, at some point I had that realization that he wasn't a bitter old man writing that but rather a young 20-something year old
>>24947378You’ll never know how your meme meant to me, bringing me straight into the philosophical support for my currenty worldbuilding. Truly, thanks.
>>24947612Lol
>>24947349Acting like a nigger prolongs genes. Antinatalism doesn't. Coincidence? I think not.
I asked them when the FUCK are they going to release the e-books of Rodney Merrill's translation of HomerThe reply I got was they didn't purchase the rights to the e-book, so they couldn't REEEE
Freedom of religion was a mistake.
>>24947582Because his poetry is much more elegant and is more faithful. Uses high sounding language and writes in dactylic hexameter. He specifically translates Homer with the idea of how it sounds when read out loud, since he considers that more true to the Greek considerations
>>24947619At least we're not all speaking Latin
>>24947782You don't speak Latin? Get out of /lit/ right now.
>>24947785I'm not Latinx
So they adapted a Pynchon novel for filmI've never read Pynchon before but like"One Battle After Another" - what the FUCK is this turbo jogger leftist power fanstasy bullshit?I always realized Hollywood is a bunch left-leaning cucks but holy fuck they outdid themselves with this one.The level of blatant propaganda is on par with fucking commie films of Stalin's era or something.This guy made "There will be blood" and now this what the fuck. This movie doesn't even feel real, it's a caricature of a movie.Tell me bros is Pynchon cringe plebbitor shit like that and not based? Le speaking truth to power
>>24946904you are loss

The movie is bad and is basically PTA making a block buster of the original Vineland. If you want something more nuanced but that still has the left wing message read the original, if you're a fascist I can't say you'll enjoy it considering the bad guy expressly is, but it doesn't water down the original message of the book which the movie does and makes into a huge migrants vs cops schlock.
>>24946217Typical tranny seething. Movie of the year.

There is so much confusion on this board, on 4chan and within our world in general about psychology and this man. His fundamental insight is that you, I, and every truly human subject that will ever exist "Lack" in someway meaning they feel incomplete or are missing something that someone or everyone else has. This can only even be temporarily fulfilled. This manifests itself in millions of ways, but once you understand this, psychoanalysis becomes a lot easier to understand. Of course, this isn't nearly all of Lacan, but its the lynchpin. You feel lack, your mother feels lack, the hobbo down street feels lack and most importantly, the cheerleader or jock at your high school feels lack in some way.
What does /lit/ think of the Enders game sequels?
>>24947010IIRC Battle School was infamous for its brutal bullying. Doesn't another kid try to rape Ender at some point?
>>24946899Think the first four books in the series are sitting on my shelf, unread, like they have since I got them. Look fun though.
Comfy except for the last one which was just OK
I liked the sequels that followed bean but the ones with ender were just ok.>>24947010Bonzo attacked him in the showers and that's where ender killed him. it was certainly not written as a rape scene but it definitely could be read that way
>>24946899It was awesome. When I was 11 years old.
In a world where 90% of the internet traffic is online video streaming, to detriment of the environment and our minds, why aren't you rejecting modernity and going to the library? The library is literally free and fun for all ages. It is the most environmentally and civic minded thing you can do. Instead of being in a haze of pleasure, living in a digital cocoon of reels and streams, why aren't you forging the future of humanity? The weight of the world is on your shoulders and only you can make a better world.
>>24945090>written by generic rich personghostwritten. rich people don't write books.
>>24943918my library system is goated. Can take out up to 50 books at time for 3 weeks each, if you go over 3 weeks they auto-renew, and you can do that up to 15 times, at which point it just stops you from taking out new books until you return them or pay for it. No late fees ever. 81 branches in the system and they'll ship your holds to your local branch which you can do online. Only ever have to interact w/ the front desk to grab your holds which takes 5 seconds, 10 minute walk from me.Only downside is they close at 5pm most days.Honestly I'm surprised the USA still has this shit, pretty much the only good deal I've ever heard of
>>24947159I'm just tired of the librarium man. Why don't we just build cyber cafes to remove the laptop people? What are we gaining from the librarium getting dumped with generic tech books, generic biography books, generic social issues books, generic fantasy. Why are librarians even a thing anymore? Can't you just get fake answers to your made up keyboard warrior jobs through the multi trillion dollar nuclear reactor powered lying machines like chatGPT or gemini? What do we need phone charging stations for? What do we need the public roblox machines for? Why are you even in the librarium to print things? Just get a shitty chromebook at walmart. Fuck it man. Just shut em all down along with the university scams, build affordable housing/gardens/farms in its place. Any academics in future should just be monks in churches/temples with candles. Everyone else should just go back to medieval games.
honestly I think libraries should, at least in part, be devoted to digitizing stuff in their collection (that doesn't have known digital copies) to a very high standard of qualityalso digitizing collection items of special interest, such as books owned by famous authors that have notes written in themthey should also do bookbinding and serious book repairI don't know of a single library anywhere near me that does this stuff
>>24944042I laughed.
There is a fascinating, digressive chapter in Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris about how architecture was once the main form of expression of human thought and how the invention of the printing press put an end to this.Are there any other books about this topic? The intersection of philosophy and architecture? And was Hugo even correct?
>>24945477This is good I heard
>>24945477>Theater of the World, Yates
>>24945477>how architecture was once the main form of expression of human thought and how the invention of the printing press put an end to this.I don't understand this meme online on how old building is SOUL and BASED and new buildings are some SOULLESS and UGLY. I genuinely believe if a medieval man saw a modern city or buildings, he would see them as divine. We can now build multiple sky-high buildings that shine so bright they can be seen from space. Not to mention, and this is the part most people ignore, most historic buildings were wooden shacks that didn't stand the test of time. These cathedrals took CENTURIES to make and were basically the only good-looking building in Medieval Europe. It's textbook definition of survivorship bias.
>>24947730Yeah, but that's a different topic. It's not discussion about "why old good new bad", but discussion about which artform was the most important for human thought during these times, just like arguably cinema was the most important 20th century medium and novel was 19th century's.
>>24947730It is true. But /pol/ accuses muh hamburg school while the reality is capitalism (and its good).Back then the majority lived/worked most of their day out doors, you really had two classes of buildings.>A) State/religious (most of the beauty people are referencing): Sovereigns and bishops did not have to answer to their electorate about absurd costs. >Private/commercial: Built by guilds, state monopolies, etc, that didn't have to cut costs by 2% or risk being completely eclipsed in a few years/having their share price tanked by a truly public stock market.These days we live in a society where (thanks to capitalism(made reasonable by socialist activism)) laborers are compensated at a much higher rate far above subsistence (a builder will have a car, his own home, tv, go on vacations, etc) and where the spenders are held to a much stricter standard (in turn allowing that kind of lifestyle for the builder instead of the insane margins that support the splendor of some city square in yurop.You are right though the bund and that city are pretty sweet architecturally, but partly due to the problems I mentioned above not yet being resolved in China. Special place in my heart though.

Hey OP I saw your bait thread on Toni Morrison went nowhere, better luck this time!
>Much of Lara Silva’s writing centers around the beauty and pain of the Latinx experience, and she was drawn to the sense of strength that cuicacalli connotes. For most of her life, the story she was taught about her own culture cast Mexicans in the roles of villains or victims, and she wanted to flip the script. >“I want to imagine our community beyond that pain,” she says. “I’ve been meditating on our history for 25 years now, and our survival is a thing of beauty—it shows a strength that should be admired.”
>>24947728bell hooks ahh name
>>24947728>ire'ne lara silvaThe funny thing about a latinx like her who see the world as oppressed/oppressor is they are free to move back across the southern border with their American passport. It's not like being black or native where there is nothing to go back to.

I'm really enjoying this so far. Don't see ti mentioned here often (or ever?). The narration is great. It feels conspiratorial and ironic, like he is leaning over my shoulder and laughing with me at the vanity of these people. Where are the Stendhal enjoyers at?
>>24938995Read Vizinczey's An Innocent Millionaire. The man was a disciple of Balzac and Stendhal and adapted their observational, idiosyncratic prose to the modern world. It is a masterpiece.I interacted with him a few times on Twitter. He died recently. ;_;

I went to go volunteer sorting books to be donated on thursday and had a great time. there were cupcakes and a pretty girl was there too and i got to touch and sort hundreds of books. Then at the end they let me go through the big rolling trash can of books that were too damaged to be donated and take whatever i wanted. i took a bunch including virgil's aenids and some random historical books and also a nice copy of peter camenzind that wasn't even really damaged. im going back next week
>>24947709Sounds great anon
>>24947709Jealous! Keep us updated on your haul and any interesting finds.
>>24947709Did you speak to the pretty girl?
