>>24994493Yeah Pléiade is my favourite as wellI have 25 so far, my most recent acquisition being the new Céline boxset Expensive but I'm willing to pay the priceWhat I like is that they're generally pretty definitive, like you can buy the Baudelaire set and get everything you would ever need whereas if you did the same with say Library of America, even a penguin or oxford edition will contain more notes than the LoA edition will and they will have actual introductions unlike the LoA which has nothing They're also the perfect size for reading and just exude quality in their constructionI thought about collecting folio society books but man those things are fucking huge I wish there was a British Pléiade

>>24995072I'm not the person you're talking to, but I do want to have an honest converstaion about a post-Trump political world in good faith. We only have, I think, three years left to see what the implications are politically, so I wouldn't be quick to assume we're going back to the principal loser past the old heads in the GOP want; there is a clear generational gap of ideals that we will see in the future. Any minority winning in districts or cities isn't new. The presence of hundreds of millions of racial aliens in Western lands, coupled with the systematic institutional suppression of white national identities, is not the behaviour of a political project that feels capable of co-existing with sovereign self-conscious White nations. To me, this screams immense conflict between Whites wanting this to stop, and it will grow more and more against the techy people like Musk and the non-white race husslers that want more gibs.Nick Fuentes is a good example of a growing portion that is against the meritocracy, hard work, GDP duct tape nonsense the Conservatives are trying to pass as a nation. Aristotle used the word “aristocracy” to mean what we now call “meritocracy”: rule of the best. But if you told Aristotle that true meritocracy meant inviting the smartest Persians to rule Athens, he would’ve had you tried and executed for treason. This is now the growing norm: Whites don't want to live under 'legal' foreign occupation, and both the left and right could agree to this sentiment, even though it comes from different places. Leftists will continue their crusade against whiteness at all costs, even at the expense of free healthcare, unless Trump actually destroys those radicals who killed Kirk. If he doesn't do this, I don't see this compromise happening to get the modest bernie bros back.What matters is what makes an American, and it has much to do with heritage and legacy, not immigrants or indians or jews. Technology and the internet are making people aware of things like jewish influence, and those very jews are very unprepared to combat this without looking like genuine un-American tyrants. If anything, the emperor now has no clothes -- I don't think you can just pretend these problems don't exist anymore with the new generation because they are inheriting and see all these problems all over. Yes, the right is becoming more conservative with immigration doesn't mean they're going to denaturalize anyone. But it's a growing avalanche that we can't ignore anymore, since inflation and housing, and basic things like that, are getting harder to afford, and the lack of community is helping people either. You really think Vance liying about this means it will work? I don't see it happening.In the West, two things must be chosen: siding with post-war Liberalism, which is the defense of heterogeneity, putting it in direct contradiction with the nationalist democracy hegemony, which is a basic national outlook.

>>24994759>When the AI bubble crashesIt's been 3 years, and progress in AI has been exponential and is staying on that track.

And then all bets are off.
>>24995143>so I wouldn't be quick to assume we're going back to the principal loser past the old heads in the GOP want; there is a clear generational gap of ideals that we will see in the future.that much is certainly true, but i wouldn't be surprised if they still tried to retain their position and give red meat to the proles without any real significant changes. the young and bright eyed among us must be encouraged go into politics, law, universities etc and take this system from them, do what fuentes was originally trying to do before he became a mixed-up clown who occasionally says the right thing.>In the West, two things must be chosen: siding with post-war Liberalism, which is the defense of heterogeneity, putting it in direct contradiction with the nationalist democracy hegemony, which is a basic national outlook.i don't believe it's going to be physically possible to maintain democracy in america over the course of this century. either the globalists are going to attempt to take the system under direct control, which will spark political violence, or there will be a genuinely democratic likely NRx nationalist leader crowned in america.don't really have much to say on the rest because i completely agree with you. i do however hope that white america gets back into politics locally too; well i say hope but actually they are, look up casey putsch, and more of us need to be if we want to start taking back america. it's a hard thing to take back the most important country in geopolitics on the national level. notably easier to do such on the state level, gradually one by one until we have a statesman that explicitly prioritizes america and the amerikaners above all else.
>>24995177>i don't believe it's going to be physically possible to maintain democracy in america over the course of this century. either the globalists are going to attempt to take the system under direct control, which will spark political violence, or there will be a genuinely democratic likely NRx nationalist leader crowned in america.if you’re interested, I’d base a lot of my what I talked about on Carl Schmitt. Defining “American” by legacy (e.g., descendants of founders, European roots) over civic ideas (anyone who assimilates superficially) is a hot debate now. Schmitt would likely agree that democracy in the US is untenable in its current form, precisely because of the heterogeneity fostered by globalist liberalism. In The Nomos of the Earth he warned that the post-WWII liberal order rooted in American universalism and economic globalization, dissolves traditional spatial and political boundaries, the national people/proletariat creating a “spaceless” world where true sovereignty evaporates. America’s demographic shifts (e.g., toward a non-white majority by mid-century, per Census projections) amplify this: a heterogeneous polity can’t sustain democracy without suppressing the political, as liberalism does by reframing enemies as mere “competitors” in a market or “violators” of norms. If globalists (tech elites, international institutions) attempt direct control say through AI governance, censorship, or supranational bodies it would represent what Schmitt called the “administrative state” overriding the exception, sparking violence as suppressed friend/enemy distinctions erupt (think his analysis of Weimar’s collapse into Nazism). Alternatively, a “genuinely democratic” NRx-style nationalist leader could emerge as a sovereign who decides on the exception reasserting homogeneity through decisive action (e.g., mass deportations, cultural restoration), crowning a new order out of crisis. Schmitt was pessimistic about mass democracy in heterogeneous societies because devolves into plebiscitary authoritarianism or technocracy, as seen in his critique of Weimar. America might follow suit if they don’t choose which.

ruins edition FAQ:>What is worldbuilding?Worldbuilding is the process of creating entire fictional worlds from scratch, all while considering the logistics of these worlds to make them as believable as possible. Worldbuilding asks questions about the setting of a world, and then answers them, often in great detail. Most people use it as a means of creating a setting or the scenery for a story.>"Isn't there a Worldbuilding general in >>>/tg/ already?"Yes, there is. However, that general is focused on the creation of fictional worlds for the intended purpose of playing TTRPG campaigns. Here you can discuss worldbuilding projects that are not meant to be used for a roleplaying setting, but for novels, videogames, or any other kind of creative project.>"Can I discuss the setting of my campaign here, though?"If you want to, but it would probably be better to discuss it on >>>/tg/ . We don't allow the discussion of TTRPG mechanics, however. If you want to discuss stats or which D&D edition is best, this is not the place.>"Can I talk about an existing fictional setting that is not mine?"Yes, of course you can!>"Does worldbuilding need to be about fantasy and elves?"Worldbuilding, as already stated above, and contrary to what many believe, does not inherently imply blatantly copying Tolkien. In fact, there are many science-fiction setting out there, and even entire alternative history settings which do not possess supernatural elements at all. Any kind of science fiction book has an implied setting at least, which involves a certain degree of worldbuilding put into it.Old thread: >>24868365

Is the book actually any good? Or is it just a basic novelized version of the movie?
as an experiment I've been using ChatGPT to line edit and critique my current WIP.Bros, this guy is making good points, it's finding shitI do not plan to use ANY prose generated by AI in this project,but basically I write a chapter, and run it through and it's giving...what seems like pretty solid advise. (I've fed into it the market I'm writing to, my goals with this project, the overall story) and I'm getting legit good adviceOf course you have to discount the fact that ChatGPT is a sycophant, and will think any idea you have is good, so I'm being careful of that aspect of itcan this really be a tool? Do we HAVE to go full Butlerian Jihad?Am I a hack
Ask it to enter brutal model in critique and report back.
If you use ChatGPT to edit your writing you will end up with bland, sanitized writing that lacks any distinguishing characteristics. Even Microsoft Word's suggestions are toxic for a writer.
