Is it good? I got a first edition of that one still lying aorund here but I have so much else to read before I can even think about starting this even though I loved Berlin Alexanderplatz.

>Belisarius serves Justinian faithfully
>aristos: HE'S GONNA CAESAR YOU
>Justinian fucks Belisarius

>Wallenstein serves Ferdinand faithfully
>aristos: HE'S GONNA CAESAR YOU
>Ferdinand fucks Wallenstein

The lesson here is to always Caesar the emperor.

They don’t desire to be loved. The comic says they don’t feel “worthy of love.” Nothing can change that mindset, it’s fixed from childhood.

I started working on mine again this week after leaving to rot on my hard drive for over a year. I'm at 80k words and probably need another 30k-40k to wrap up the story. My goal is to be done with it before the end of May, which would mark two years since I started it. Fuck, I need to get this done, bros. I have no illusions about my chances of getting this thing published, but I need something to prove that I didn't piss away my 20s.

If you commit to 1000 words a day you’ll be done in a month. 500 a day you’ll be done by may.

Granted you’ll still need to edit but the first draft will be done.

Try to commit to 1000 a day, leave some meat on the bone every day and think about it before you sleep.

You’re almost there anon.

>>24239245
1000 words a day, 5 days a week is what I'm shooting for. Once I have a first draft down, I plan on letting it lie for about a month and then coming back to it with a clear head so I can do some serious editing. If all goes well, I'll have something I can start sending out by the end of summer, right on time for the big 3-0.

>>24239090
Isn't Klinger the one that's done from the obnoxious point of view that Holmes and Watson were the real authors, and ACD was more like their editor? I'm not putting up with that.

>You keep saying Kuhn's work is about "the scientific practice via the historical record" and yet you can't comprehend how that is different from formalized articulated principles of science.
You haven't given any examples of "formalized articulated principles of science" that conflict with Kuhn's work. This is because the best you're able to do is parrot a naive edutainment version of falsificationism and when you're guided back to the actual content of Kuhn's work make a retarded "not real communism" style argument that betrays the fact you're ignorant of the subject matter at hand.

Kuhn doesn't argue that scientists fail to engage in hypothesis testing in regard to their day-to-day work. He points out that the majority scientific activity assumes the validity of whichever paradigm scientists were educated/are working within. "Puzzle-solving" doesn't mean that scientists fail to set up experiments in order to test their outcomes. Puzzle solving means using the overarching paradigm to make testable observations and the fact it doesn't work in some cases aren't immediately important. The fundemental thing is that work isn't directed toward overthrowing the paradigm and if you think about for a few seconds you'd realize science wouldn't get anywhere if there weren't an overarching heuristic in place guiding the work of a vast array of people.

It's clear to everyone that you don't actually know where Kuhn's work becomes controversial (a combination of the fact you haven't read it and are too dumb to understand it even after being spoonfed) and how it conflicts with that of Popper. You can't even reference Lakatos's attempt at rehabilitating Popper in light of Kuhn because your grasp on the subject matter is pop-sci tier nonsense.
>How are you failing to see how you are contradicting yourself?
Again, more projection on your part. You asserted Kuhn is being "pedantic" while demanding the discussion adhere to your own narrow understanding, if it can even be called that, of what constitutes scientific practise. Anything outside of your naive view is simply handwaved as bad actors unrepresentative of science. So the real question here is: "how does someone label something as pedantic while demanding that same something adhere to an artificially constrained understanding?" The answer to that question is that their ignorance of the subject leads them to box in the conversation according to their restricted understanding of it.

In short, you're a moron.

Popper is clearly not "idealized."

>You've also been caught making up shit and flat out lying.
Where?
>Oh, I get it. You think everyone who has ever been mean to you or destroyed one of your arguments on 4chan is one person. Many such cases.
I don't even see what that has to do with what I said.
>I'll take this opportunity to point out you randomly drop conversation threads whenever there's a point of contention to which you cannot answer and whenever your dishonesty is pointed out.

I'm not the one who's always on this thread. You were even the first post. A week before I even knew about the thread.

>>24239149
>rent-free
Seeing as you've spent days on end crying about the copy pastas and interjected multiple times to cry about my posts (or posts you attribute to me, doesn't matter either way) I'd say that constitutes "rent-free" beyond any shadow of doubt.
>Where?
This has been discussed above. Some of it is self delusion on your part and some of it is just flat out lying and making shit up. It's a commonality with antinatalists.
>I don't even see what that has to do with what I said.
No one cares about what you say because you're a both an idiot and a liar, anon. You have a morbid fascination with violence and gore and use antinatalism as a means to project your unhealthy nonsense out into the world. It's masturbatory and gross. Talk about unhealthy obsessions.
>I'm not the one who's always on this thread.
We've both been trading response for days, anon. The difference is I didn't sperg to random strangers about you because for me this is simply killing time whereas for a vulnerable narcissist like yourself it's a life event.

Anyway, there's a preponderance of evidence that you're a very unhealthy person with serious psychological problems. You can continue to try and convince strangers to hate existence or you can find a more healthy way to express yourself. In the end it's up to (You).

This is literally the first time I've talked to you and you've already exposed yourself as the faggotranny that always bumps this thread until it hits 200 replies.
>This has been discussed above.

>You have a morbid fascination with violence and gore
Nah
>and use antinatalism as a means to project your unhealthy nonsense out into the world.
Nah
>The difference is I didn't sperg to random strangers about you because for me this is simply killing time whereas for a vulnerable narcissist like yourself it's a life event.
Your whole life seems to revolve around bumping this thread.
>Anyway, there's a preponderance of evidence that you're a very unhealthy person with serious psychological problems
No, I went to a psychologist because I thought I had some anger issues. I took one test and I don't have any personality disorder "or anything out of order"

Enticing. You should lean into that part.

I'm working on my own brand of Christian existentialism incorporating some presocratic ideas. The main focus right now is countering rationally-induced Christian pessimism. I'll self-publish eventually

He's off screen for this trilogy. Honestly I liked him too until he met that other kid in Trials of Apollo and Rick made that his entire personality.

Before I started my tour I read the diaries of my supervising officer
The things he went through would make the most jaded man weep with despair
Not only was he on dinner rush, the bastards took in 4 families only 3 hours before close
That was only a taste of the horrors he had to endure, and it steeled me for my breakfast shift

Wow, what a major failure of self-awareness. You're literally advocating for being loud and stupid because that's how you "win". Thanks, but I'll stick to my methods of gathering information, forming conclusions based on evidence, and arguing with rationality. By all means, keep doing what you're doing; it makes my task much easier.

>>24239134
>You're literally advocating for being loud and stupid because that's how you "win"
Yes

>>24239144
The really sad part is, those times you acted this way, and thought you won...you didn't. You only made yourself look like a jackass in public.
You may want to educate yourself on the Dunning-Kruger effect, i.e. incompetent people vastly overestimate their own competence. I put it to you that's what you're experiencing.

>>24239156
Alright

>>24239117
>refuse to think and advance your own thinking so you "win"
The only imaginable good that can ever come from "debating" online is being shown that you're wrong about something.
