I wasnt sure if i should take this to /mu/ or not but I was listening to "i dont give a fuck" by Eminem and I really enjoyed the the song, his rhyme scheme and his lyrics so I immediately tried writing in the same vain. Please pick apart my version and help me make it better. Song for reference:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RtFR0yof930

well I’m about 16 pages into the count of monte crisco and so far they still haven’t given the recipe for the sandwich so I’m a little disappointed to say the least.

The king of France references Plutarch's biography on Scipio Africanus, which was lost over 1000 years ago. I hope Dumas got fired for that blunder.

>>25468027Out of curiosity, what is the image on the right?>The reason they are both babies and in their baby state (...) is because they are likened to the Sun Is it really, anon? To rephrase, is the reason why Christ was an infant at some point is that he is likened to the sun? (or- to not be dishonest, is that at least why He was depicted as an infant in that image?)I'd chiefly reject, though, that Christ is associated at all with the sun, other than by, yet again, stretching meanings of words to come to that conclusion from Christ's being Light. We know, however, that this has nothing to do with Christian doctrine. This is the Horus image I've posted all over again.Christmas being celebrated in December as a means to syncretize is acknowledged without any issue. It's not a continuation of whatever pagan holiday, though, like tumblr tier atheists are wont to argue. Gift-giving is Biblical as well. I'll concede the Christmas tree, though.
>>25465702> GuenonDidn't he like to go out "contemplating" with opium while leaving his young niece at home or something?I can't remember now if this was real or just a meme anons made up about him.
>guenonDude got duped by masonry being le traditional ancient magic, can't take him seriously.
>>25465702>Guenon LITERALLY believes there's a midget in the hollow center of the earth controlling everything.
>>25468923It's NOT a metaphor. Guenonians don't like to talk about this because it's so retarded. Guenon's Indian friends broke off all contact with him after he published The King of the World.

What are some good banned books?
>>25466488This, what the fuck is this argument even supposed to be about?So much disagreements on this site just stem from some obtuse autist doggedly insisting that it's not enough that people be logically on the same page, but they also need to feel the same and be on the same political team as well.Yes, "banned books" are a marketing slogan, but the only reason that fag was badgering you about it is because he wanted you to like it and support it instead of shitting on it. You see propaganda and frown, he sees propaganda and smiles, so now you had to argue even though the facts weren't even in dispute.Utter mental illness.

>>25468859the first chapter is really freaking goodi love how entirely foreboding and off it feels
>>25468891The first time I read it I was floored by the first chapter. I knew it was about taking a boat up the Congo River, so starting out on the Thames in the fog talking about the Romans and savage Britons was so eerie and awesome.
>"music" of the street salesmen>essay on Wagner and technological dimension of art creation>narrator listens to the Vinteuil's septet>Charlus' humiliation and his exit with queen of Naples>essay on literature and the creation of artistic worldsIt comes as a suprise to me, but this volume contains some of the strongest parts of La Recherche so far. The repetitions, lacunae and contradictions make it apparent, that the work was unfinished, and some fragments suffer from it (Bergotte's death comes to mind, it's a moving scene but it's not properly developed and doesn't feel properly incorporated into narrative). Despite all that, what remains is really good.On the other hand, maybe it's fitting that the first volume properly preoccupied with dying and what remains of an artist after he's gone is also the first one to be published posthumously. Proust's feeling of impending death resonates in the Bergotte fragment (after the novelist is gone, his books remain "comme des anges aux ailes éployées") and rediscovery of Vinteuil's composition (he leaves behind musical notes that are deciphered, transcribed and performed for the first time long after he's gone).I think that preoccupation with death, and not the obvious transpositon of Proust's emotional life, makes this volume the one that is most intimately autobiographical so far.

>>25468838So what's your point? We should all start learning Chinese since no one is a match for Chinese espionage, psyops, and biowarfare?
>>25468869NTA, but probably. The chinks are beating the west in many fields now, while the west spends its time, well, we all know what the west is spending its time doing. So yeah, they're probably gonna shoot past us. Unless their low fertility thing fucks them over as well. That whole one-child debaucle of theirs really was a terrible idea, in retrospect.

>>25468869You realize the US funded the gain of function research at the WIV that created the virus, right? Through Eco-Health Alliance. Do you enter these conversations knowing literally fucking nothing at all. That's the scandal. Not that it came from China, but how it was funded and created, and the nature of its release: intentionally or unintentionally, by the Chinese, the US, or both working in tandem. And if it was released intentionally, by either party or both, for what purposes?

I had a dream this morning in which I saw hyperborea edit style clips of the anima portrayed in media. I saw Maria from silent hill, scenes from movies, and other made up scenes of seductive women.I also had this dream yesterday:There is a position called king of the pope, which is still in subordination to the pope but is a very reverend position, my grandmother was the king and passed the position to me, and i now had authority of my family and was the king of it as well as king of the pope, my family came and celebrated and gave gifts. I then had to take training so that i can be a guard for the pope, and one part of the training we had to swim underwater naked, but we had a big mirror that we had to use to cover our genitals, if the instructors saw us fail to cover they would beat us up.any JungAnons want to tell me what that means
jung was right about the modern world losing touch with its soul. i also think he had a point with the collective unconscious and stuff like self, anima, animus and shadow however i dont believe it 100%. but his dream interpretation is straight up bullshit. it just seems so far fetched to me

Can anyone explain why this book has become such an essential component of the "chud canon"? It doesn't seem particularly relevant to issues like race, sex, nationalism etc. in the slightest bit.
>>25468757That's more or less what mainstream media and politicians in Europe do, going on about European Values, which are all about feminism, democracy and tolerance towards imported brown people, and which have to be defended from evil right-wingers and sometimes left-wing extremists and some islamists that smuggled themselves in with the refugees that are fleeing from them.

The novel is no longer an effective means of telling a story of modern-day life. They can but I’ll reproduce the experience of a tweet. Such a small thing is synecdoche of the much larger, inexpressible demolition technological progress has done to diminish the form of the novel to a literary footnote. Every day we text one another through various services: WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, et cetera. How can mere quotation marks but feebly, but weakly, with knobbled knees, reproduce the quotidian means of communication in the 21st century? The illusory power of words fails. Is it fitting to format entire pages of a novel to take the form of an email? Little wonder fantasy and science fiction rules the bookshelves of the average reading public: there, in those make-believe worlds, there is no constraint by reality against the very letters of the illusion. So what? Shall we abandon storytelling altogether? Absolutely not. To preserve the illusions concomitant upon a rollicking good story, authors must lay down their pens and paper, their keyboards and word processors, and steal the format of a Snapchat text thread for their next narrative, or that of an iMessage conversation, because these, and not mere letters, are the daily means of communication. The next great novel is not forthcoming, but the first great text message story is on the horizon. Often it has been asked in this place: “who will write the great incel novel?” But I say to you that it does not apply. Much rather, who will write the great incel Discord general chat? It is by far the more suitable means of communicating such a story. Yet here we cling to a husk, a carcass picked at and torn by carrion consumers.
>>25465003Dawg, there are plenty of novels that have already simulated things like Discord chats. Some of those books have come from fellow /lit/izens. You've gotta spend more time doing research on these things.
>>25467759nta butABRASIVEDo it.maybe satisfies both sides. Easier to read, can be adapted to audiobook or read out loud with the right pacing, and tells the reader who's voice to use before their lines. Reads a bit more true to a forum as well because usually the name/avatar is on the left side to be read first. I don't think your way is bad and surely you've thought of this way too but just my 2c
