>>25259970Ive used Foucault in my own theories and writing to push narrative that's opposed to his own.
>>25260185Why are you telling us that you're retarded
>>25259191Thank you for being tolerant, the preferred term is person of fire
>>25259191>>25260209It's "firefighter". This has nothing to do with gender sensitivity but rather the fact retarded meatheads who join the fire department think it sounds more badass.
>>25258686>Folks
>English 6-10 or more words to mean "smart">Greek 1 word for "smart" that means lot's of things, maybe even unrelated
>>25259317>8 words for being a faggot
>>25259327>>25259344‘Macrocephali’ - some subsaharan tribes were called this because they have the custom of skull binding. It literally means ‘long head’
>>25259317>lot is of things
>>25259317they are kinda cracked for having one word to mean 'speech', 'word', 'explanation', 'counting', 'proportion', 'discourse', 'reason', and 'logic'
>>25259413Coolest Greek word to me is Aix - it means both storm and goat based on the context. Because both goats and storms tend to be violent and have the same behavior

Question? Is Blood Meridian worth reading?Heard its a good book,and that its the book with Judge Holden.Should I save money to buy it?
>>25257331I think it’s really a mediocre book that’s overly self indulgent and intentionally inaccessible so normies cling to it to look smart and complex, but if it didn’t have such a reputation, many people would discard it as not being worth the tremendous effort to understand. It’s just not that deep or profound to be so complex
>>25260110>the exact same "critique" he uses for everything he doesn't like
>>25260110>>i didn't even understand it but it surely can't be deep or profoundYou are profoundly retarded
>>25260110>overly self indulgent and intentionally inaccessibleYou can just say you don't like reading, it's fine

>>25260136>>25256297>why does this board seem to hate journaling so much?I guess to write a journal you have to be able to form an original thought. Which most people seem to have lost the capacity to do since taking the vax.

Who are your favorites? Who has the right of it?Who can save us from the Bernie Bros and the Kamalists and Donald Roosevelts market interventionism and neo command economy? Are there any of us left? What are we reading?>notes to prevent Low IQ spam>anti-rationalist means a rejection of the French Revolution and the idea that the government can tear down all of society and build it back up in a better way, and is generally skeptical of major interventions by the state on grounds of reason>secular does not mean atheist, it means separate, ie - a bunch of revanchist Catholics will not fall into this group, they are conservatives because they view it as the best objective outlook, not to build more churches etc etc.

>>25256007Conservatives get attacked because they refuse to speak your language. But when you examine their stances, they are actual responses to the points you raise.>into levels of complexityWhich are enhanced by global capitalism. So the conservative push towards economic nationalism simplifies economic interactions by creating shorter supply chains.>and confusionAgain born out via the need for global coordination which conservatives deal by emphasizing a country first, isolationist approach.
>>25255248You can't be a conservative while being pro-capitalism, it's an oxymoron.
>>25258465You can't be a conservative while being a revolutionary.

Why did Nietzsche hated so much Euripides? He claimed that Euripides along Socrates had introduced rationality in his pieces but there is nothing barely rational in a fucking deus ex machine (Medea), so where the fuck did he take it?

>>25253891He got tenure in his 20's and made a record for the youngest professor of Germany to ever have it at the time. There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that he read Plato and understood him in Greek better than anyone on this board. But by understood you mean interpreted Plato to mean what you think Plato means. We can't prove Nietzsche did that without first knowing what you think Plato means in your impeccable English translation
>>25256631
>>25257906To buttress your point, he taught Plato several times, and his notes for four of those courses are extant. There's an English translation in the works for them supposedly due this year or next. From what I've seen of the French translation of them, he was particularly struck by Protagoras, but he talks about a good number of them.http://www.thenietzschechannel.com/lectures/lectures.htm
Bump.
Good morning sirs. I'm heartened to see the recent uptick in posting about Indian literature but the two charts that are always floating around don't quite do it for me, so I took it upon myself to design one that's comprehensive enough but doesn't get too bogged down in the different schools. I focused on three major traditions: Advaita, Vishishtadvaita (which is Vishnu-centric), and Kashmir Shaivism, seeing as these three schools are influential, are respectable philosophy-wise (unlike some popular movements in Hinduism), and have had interest from Westerners. I chose 60 books that I think get the gist of Indian religion across. I hope you anons will like it. Please do the needful and share
>>25260061Honestly I like it because it has several extra chapters of context. I've never read the oxford version but I'm sure it's fine; you've just got to stay away from the non-scholarly editions until you know enough to make your own decision about what ideologies should and shouldn't be read into the text
>>25260046If India didn't exist I might have converted to Hinduism but it's just like islam, when you see the people that actively practice you just don't want to be associated with them you know?
>>25260046Why the hell is the charit full of the same book over and over again? Hack of a "guide".
>>25260348 chart* :p

who are some good 21st century poets that arent just minorities filled with hubris writing about identity politics?
>>25254169Is this acceptable for your white ass, white boy?
>>25250158>21st century poetsAs in poets who started publishing in the 21st century, is how I understand it. Then there are technically only two poets posted so far that count: Siken and a meme answer.Despite /lit/'s hate for contemporary literature, I've had good recs for contemporary fiction here when the readers of it surface. I'll hold out for more poetry.
>>25256435I really liked Roger Reeves' "King Me"

>>25260613.(CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST)LONG explanation:So I've had this theory since like 2018 that tWoW was probably already finished by then -- OR at least VERY close to it... BUT .. ... BUT Martin was gonna WAIT to "sync" its release with something else that he had planned: Maybe a spinoff TV series. Maybe another book in the TWOIAF universe. Maybe EVEN wait until he had completed a sufficient portion of Dream of Spring, so he can release sample chapters from it along with tWoW.Maybe even tWoW + aDoS combined ?!If you think about it, this idea doesn't sound TOO far-fetched: After all, a Dance with Dragons was synced up with the summer of Game of Thrones' first season.(ok, it came a few weeks AFTER, but still... you get the idea...)Comment too long.

>>25260618.(CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST)THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET * WEIRD * :As I've followed the war in the ukraine closely since the beginning, LATE LAST YEAR I was able to make the judgment that THIS YEAR (i.e. 2026) is gonna be THE YEAR where the conflict will either STOP ... ... OR it will fizzle down to pre-2022 semi-localized semi-militia warfare.So, basically, the GLOBAL "aspect" of the Conflict will END.THUS, international world affairs would (semi- ... -ish .. ?) normalize to pre-COVID levels with more free World travel, communication etc.HENCE, Fatman would FINALLY have the time window to actually finally release tWoW, AND to sync it up with side-project / travel around for book-signings / presentations / meetups, etc.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>25260628FINAL SUMMARY :FINAL SUMMARY :FINAL SUMMARY :* tWoW was (almost) completed YEARS AGO (like in 2018-19, if not even EARLIER )* Fatman waited for an opportune moment to release it, sync-up with OTHER woiaf-related projects.* COVID + Global War ruined those plans...* ... BUT on the flip-side gave Martin ample time to also work on DREAM* War is looking to be over THIS YEAR....* ... so if we avoid Nuclear obliteration, tWoW is ALSO coming THIS YEAR !! :)* ... and VERY LIKELY, bearably soon after - A DREAM OF SPRING.Comment too long.

Damn these two posters are making these threads unbearable. Time for this general to die We will never get ADOS. Maybe Winds in one form or another. I'm going to go see the play like a retard but its a good excuse to visit England

Hmm you know those "cheerleader" effects where a lot of average girls together somehow look more attractive?I have no idea what is going on in that video but somehow the reverse effect is actually happening. They are clearly all average or above but somehow they look repulsive all together.
>>25260709I experienced the same thing. Genuinely no idea why.
>>25255887I wish I was Judge Holden
>>25260709>>25260710probably because it makes you realize that women are largely interchangeable, and "love" is just horniness for whatever happened to cross into your field of awareness
