If you are an American or English, why are you not reading the wealth of world-historic literature written in your own tongue for people of your own mind?Why are you reading translations of brown-people literature (viz. French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian) instead of the WASP corpus?
>>24951528>Sterne over CervantesMe.And Tolstoy is by far the most overrated author I've ever read.
>>24951500No WASP has ever, will ever, or could ever produce The Ego And Its Own.
>>24951540He'd have to read them without translation first.
>>24951500>AmericanI don't read any of that rubbish m8, I can read authors of the Isles until the day I die.
>>24951500the first complete accurate Bible in any one language is the kjv. there also lovecraft and milton
Everything else just seems so spooked and retarded. Like these "philosophers" can't even see past their own circumstances or analyze their own thoughts and motivations, only (poorly) justify their own particular neuroses. Has there ever been a half decent attempt at addressing, let alone refuting him?
>>24949235spooked
>>24950831fair, but you will not make satisfying progress in your own mathematics without a sound philosophy
>>24947731Spooks being bad is a spook in itself
>>24947731
Is the concept of a spook a parody of the Hegelian Geist?
I regularly see threads on JP and Zizek but less commonly Jung and rarely Lacan.I have been reading Lacan on and off throughout the year and it has been pretty revelatory to me. If I were to try to take a stab at summarizing Lacan for anons that haven’t studied him, basically everything is fake and gay, anything not fake and gay is real, and >you are a subject beneath the fake and gay but not exactly a 1:1 product of the fake and gay. Your motif should be to recognize that to understand the real through anything fake and gay is impossible, therefore traverse the fake and gay knowing it’s fake and gay in accordance to your desire(TM). If anyone with more experience in Lacanian thought disagrees with my shit take, feel free to correct. Question: Why is Lacan not talked about as often as Freud and Jung are, or perhaps in general? Is his thought too subversive? Is it because he’s French? Pic related, worst mistake of my life
>>24950506forgive me, but what is so special about Lacan other than him mystifying and turning eternal the bourgeois patriarchical family?
>>24950725Useful how? What problems does he solve? What truths does he reveal?>>24951038Jungian thought explains poetry, and art in general, better than any other form of artistic interpretation ever produced. It gives honest explanation while keeping all the richness and, if anything, enhancing the profundity.
>>24951973Can you give an example? I've always found Jung's theories, pardon for being so blunt, dumb and superficial as fuck.
>>24951973Anyone not a poet has no business explaining poetry - but that’s not what I meant. Poetry as the Greeks knew it when they adopted the drama as a cleansing rite of religion, is a form of psychotherapy - poets essentially being the descendants of witch doctors and priestesses.
>>24952029It partially is, and Jung incorporated that into his practice. But Greek poets also acted as general voices of truth to the public, which Jung also did, and sometimes as shameless aggrandisers for money, which Jung didn't. Idk how you can have any knowledge of Jung and not know that he's a modern version of a medicine man.>>24952015There are plenty of case studies you can read. Volume 15 of the collected works is the most obvious, and there are analyses of art all throughout his works from Longfellow to Goethe to Dante. Von Franz's analysis of The Little Prince in The Problem With The Puer Aeternus is very good too. On what basis do you find it dumb and superficial? Do you actually understand what it's about?
>I did not know but that, under the circumstances, such being the case heretofore, I would be left in truth, as it were, without recourse and wherefore I took care for whatsoever means that were expedient yet prudent.

I can't deal with the hurt of pining over females anymore. How do I completely kill the instinct for female intimacy within me? Any Lit that will kill romantic delusion? I'm so tired and it hurts too much.>Bingo, Bingo, baby>I love you, ain't that crazy?>I want you, I want you over again>Bingo, Bingo, baby>I love you, ain't that crazy?>I want you, I want you over again
>>24952024No literature would ever be able to sober you as well as females' own brutalist comments in Reddit and TikTok about just how they regard males. You don't want books, you want women hate threads with compiled screenshots and women hate videos with compiled clips.Nothing hurts like the truth from the horse's own mouth.

Redpill me on Dr. William Pierce. Are his works worth reading?
>>24941203Hunter, was actually enjoyable as a B-grade paperback until the "preach" at the end. Viewed IN ITS TIME it was the first to do some things. PTSD among them. Its basically a modern serial killer novel before the modern tropes of such were hammered out. Hunter is *not* a manual for guerilla warfare, far from it. You don't learn how to make a silener though the MC makes on on a lathe. The concept of blowing up a building with explosive gas and a spark was novel enough in its time. An editor could have saved this book and made it consumable.T. actually read Hunter and Turner Diaries.
>>24941203none he was completely politically illiterate and his teenage isekai tier rahowa novel set the rw back a 100 years.

Behold! The brilliancy of Danielle Chelosky's genius! Terror is one of my favorites from Danielle's little book called Female Loneliness Epidemic, and it is little. It's only 4in by 7in and 0.25in thick
>>24952020I forgot to attach a Danielle
>>24951965How many pages is it? Very redundant opening but decent prose
>>24952020Well I never reposted it, but I just want you to personally tell you thanks - you made one homo in the world happy. Your dimensions are practically perfect. You should have no problem making some girl happy.
>>24952077Women enjoy my penis but not my personality/person. I assume part of the problem is I struggle to cum from vaginal sex. Blowjobs do nothing for, a handjob even less. The only way I've cum from vaginal sex was by withholding from masturbating for 3-5 days.>>24952073The prose is like that throughout but almost every "story" is something like "I'm going to have anonymous sex with this random hot guy or artsy guy...wait why doesn't he want to be my husband??? Why is he treating me like a whore??? Ugh I'm so fucking lonely and my life sux :( big cry" In total it is 87 pages. Most stories are about 3-4 pages long. Most stories feel the same.
>>24952102I forget to attach a Danielle again

>>24951708A real man gets off in no small part from the sheer enjoyment the woman is experiencing from the acts, especially knowing there are plenty of inferior men who are and were incapable of generating the same ecstasy through their performances. So, too, does a real man doubly get off upon his own realtime demonstrated superiority (to other males), if not real-baseline competency.That this eluded you leaves no doubt to readers as to which category you fall in.

>The Lord of the Rings is often erroneously called a trilogy, when it is in fact a single novel consisting of six books plus appendices, sometimes published in three volumes.-Note on the text, Douglas A. Anderson, 1993What is a book, as Anderson (and presumably Tolkien) means it? For me naively a book and a bound volume is the same thing. Did Tolkien intend for the Lord of the Rings to be published as six books? Wouldn't that make it a hexalogy?
>>24951780>the older, classical sense,Meaning?>like the way Homer's Iliad has 24 "books" or Virgil's Aeneid has 12 "books."More examples doesn't answer my question. What is a book?>because those [...] books aren't six independent worksIsn't that what makes things trilogies? They're _connected_ works. If they're independent works there's nothing linking them into a trilogy.
>>24951793>What is a book?A division of a work that's longer than what could be called a chapter.
>>24951918Classical books are shorter than chapters though
>>24951767A book (liber) used to be written on a scroll (volumen). A larger work would be organized into books, with the length of each book limited by what could be fit on a single scroll. Eventually the bound book (codex) came into fashion, which could store much more text than a scroll, so when copying older works you'd have multiple books collected into a single bound book.
>>24952099 (Me)Also, scrolls had to be unfurled compared to bound books which could be flipped through, which I assume was another consideration when organizing a work into multiple scrolls.
>is arguably the single most racist author in American history>marries a Jewish womanWhat did HP Lovecraft mean by this?
what a magnificent, turboneetchud bastard. nothing but respect.
>>24947042No no, you see Jews are not white, even though they coincidentally look mostly like the average white personIt's a fucking conspiracy!!!
>>24946601racism is more nuanced and multi-faceted than you think. the founding fathers considered swedes swarthy. people were more interested in the differences in their immediate neighbours than people from far off lands in the east or south back then.
"Racism" is just having a healthy sense of pattern recognition.
The moral of the story here is that it is much better to be antisemitic than to be racist. If you have to choose between not trusting the blacks and not trusting the Jews, it is far wiser to pick the latter.

Would anyone be interested in participating? Seems like a nice alternative to Wikipedia reading
>>24951332Audio can cripple many of these. For such thin volumes they can have a ton of illustrations and graphs. They are not described in audio. Really depends on the content.
>>24951220These short introduction books are awful. Even as introductions they fail. Wikipedia is better, and wikipedia is a festering pile of shit and falsehoods.
>>24951470It is just supplementary materials. Read real textbooks, listen to VSI and all will be ok.
