Have you ever found a highlighted book that wasn't indicative of being once owned by a marvelously stupid person?I don't mean notes or marginalia, though we can discuss that here as well.
I don't buy secondhand books but everyone I noticed excessively highlighting in University I had ALREADY thought they were retarded so then I learned to associate highlighting with retardation.I never took notes in class (as they were usually generally what was in the textbook anyway) and figured most people would be better off if they spent that time/effort listening and thinking instead but maybe notes really does help certain people mitigate their retardation. As I have gotten older it has become like a lot of things to me, I don't care what other people do or why.
>>24780319I sometimes pick up reference books full of highlights, and they're always either>85% of the material in every paragraph>the most obvious snippets of the text, not the nuanced partsOne of these days someone's going to see these books and assume I have the mind of a third-grader.
>>24780568>As I have gotten older it has become like a lot of things to me, I don't care what other people do or why.What does this mean? Were you sperging out at your classmates for writing things down before?
>>24780319How can you judge the previous ownerâs intelligence when you donât know the reasoning behind their highlighting scheme? Your concluding based on incomplete evidence indicates stupidity more than highlighting ever could.
>>24780487>that you should pore over everything because it's all going to be in "da test"What's funny is literature classes don't even have tests 99% of the time. Double majored in English in Uni and only had one class where the professor bothered to do reading checks, ever.

>>24780328I always found the term modern highly iritating. it means "just now", but just now passes and calcifies into the 1600s for history and then 1900 for literature.

Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped. Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses. Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Donât be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder. Vote âyesâ on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids.

What makes The Sound and the Fury so difficult? I'm reading easy cancer shit like A Little Life to get some rest from other difficult stuff for a bit and was planning on reading that one afterwards.
>>24780666>Satan>reading A Little LifePottery
>>24780669The worst part of A Little Life is that it seems written by Neil Breen. Anime tier exposition.
>>24780360why? Please explain your reasoning, i am not trying to hate and i know that art is subjective. I liked that book to, it was great, but really the best? What brings you to that conclusion?

Why do the rich worship Jesus if he considered them his enemies at the time along with the pharisees? The Sermon on the Mount is literally a proto-communist manifesto.

>>24778791Jesus had no issue with people being rich. One of the great calls of man is to provide for their family to the best of their ability. Wealth is not the sin but the love of it. To set aside all else for that wealth. If anything your average loan dealer is condemned far worse

I just finished Vegetarian. It was alright. It wasn't feminist in western kind, but like anti-confucian and as such feminist. If women were reading this over rape porn then that would be alright, but they are not.Don't see why there was any outrage over the nobel prize, when the nobel prize for literature is just political award.
>>24778029>Or you've internalized feminism so hard that you don't even see it anymore.what are you a bro? Come on sister, just forget... sleep and forget... you no longer remember life before 2008... it was always this way

>>24777611>Korean highest /lit/ is even anti-birthrate.Pottery
>>24780124Yes, anti-natalism is based. have you noticed it is all the highest IQ countries that have low birthrates? >b-but muh propagation of genesretard ideology
>>24780129In Vegetarian the last POV character does not commit suicide ONLY becouse of her children. It's not anti-natalist, it's more about 'self-determination', eg. every individual having control over their own lives and fates. That's something that is missing in neo-confucian based societies, where people stop being themselves and become what society wants them to be. Practical example: in Korea people undergo insane plastic surgeries to all look unnaturally the same, to have different kind of eyelids - it's so normalized that parents buy their daughters plastic surgeries as gift. But normal parents are supposed to consider their children beautiful without surgery, becouse the children are their progeny.

Is consistent with the idea that a major factor that shapes these tornado spirits is what the humans involve bring to the table.>he has to make sure that his vision is not fundamentally skewedThere's no way to know that. We have to choose fundamental beliefs and work from them, to do anything needs at least one leap of faith.Your interest in reasoning things out using language implies a fundamental belief in reason and dialogue.Any statement that opens up avenues of exploration using reason is useful, even if it's a dead end. It's part of the project of mapping out reality. If a high wizard of satan says something useful the source doesn't change its usefulness. If the information has the ability to cause harm, trying to conceal it is not a reasonable mitigation of that danger since someone will run into it eventually anyway.Trust is only needed for the foundational, fundamental beliefs, not what some Egyptian wizard or any preacher or scientist says.
Now that the dust has settled, what would be his opinion about Israel?
>>24780535he would be a neocon wouldn't he...
>>24780546Definitely. He'd jizz his pants over what Jews have accomplished in the 20th century, and beg for the West to emulate every facet of their culture. He'd also be very confused as to why the Americans didn't nuke the entire world into submission in the 50s, and bring that up every 5 minutes as an example of Western Christian weakness.
>>24780626Nietzsche never made that argument and he had the chance to.
>>24780546Just the opposite. Nietzsche claimed to be a Pole and praised jews when it was convenient. He did so because he was expressly attempting to instigate Germans to be a certain way. If he saw what was happening in Gaza and Ukraine, he would praise the Palestinians and claim to be a Ukrainian, and instigate from the position of strategic weakness.
>>24780627He had a chance to speak on the 20th century? Wow!
