I willingly didnt return my library books after the library near me is suddenly going through unexpected renovations and its been sitting on my shelf for close to a year since i was too lazy to drive across town to another library.I was planning on returning the books when the library opens again in a couple months but at this point i'm tempted to just keep em since I've just been buying my books instead for the first time in my life instead of using the library and i'm liking my growing collection.The library books are the illiad, the odyssey, the aeneid and mythology.I wanted to have this certain set of books anyways and at this point i dont wanna pay for it.Is this wrong of me ? Who else is gonna read these old books in my crappy bumfuck town in the middle of nowhere?they probably have multiple copies anyways.

In less than three weeks, every single book published in 1930 will enter the U.S. public domain.Some notable titles include:>As I Lay Dying>The Maltese Falcon>The 42 Parallel>Strong Poison>The Murder at the Vicarage>Charlie Chan Carries On>A Fighting Man of Mars>Tarzan at the Earth's CoreYou can find more titles here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1930_in_literatureSo what will you be reading in January? Last January, I read A Farewell to Arms and The Sound and the Fury to celebrating their becoming public domain, and next January I plan to read As I Lay Dying and The Maltese Falcon.
>>24944657That is often the case, but some IPs lend themselves so well to adaptation (Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, the works of Shakespeare, etc.) that it becomes an inevitably that someone somewhere will make something worthwhile at some point once everyone has legal access to the source material.
>>24944657This desuThose Winnie the Pooh horror flicks from a couple years ago are the quintessential example: the guys that run that production company had a goal of making 100 movies before they turned 30. They managed to do it, but their entire output is bland slop turned around on a production schedule of a month at most.I still kinda respect it despite the low quality though, since they usually hire their actors on 6-week contracts and get them to shoot scenes for 4 different movies all in one volley.

>>24941392Me when reading the Phenomenology of Spirit. Fuck Hegel, with other difficult philosophy writers I can tell there is something important to get at even if it's hard to understand, with the Phenomenology it was just gibberish. I even read some of his other works based on his lectures and they were comparatively easy to understand, which only proves he didn't have to write like that. The impenetrable prose of the Phenomenology was a conscious choice.

I am reading deleuze’s what is philosophy at the moment and the part about the creation of concepts, the analysis of their components and the resulting impossibility of discourse in philosophy is blowing my mind. The discourse becomes impossible or at least fruitless because the terms and concepts discussed, although homophones, aren’t comparable because they’re on different planes of thought and have different components. So we think we are speaking about the same things, while only confusing ourselves and wasting our time. I mean the idea is almost trivial, while the execution and explanation is outstanding.

Why is it that all great minds of antiquity thought that love was more than a crude neurochemical reaction? Would they have been redpilled if they were alive after the 20th century when advancement in chemistry demonstrated that love/eros is basically just a powerful drug? Honestly explains many things about the current perception of love in relation to modernity.

>>24946008Just the Bhagavadgita, it will be a matter of getting to the right understanding of what it is and isn't saying though. It will be a project in itself.Aurobindo (Essays on the Gita), Evola (his Doctrine of Awakening), Guenon's work in hinduism and vedanta, can be helpful..
>>24946023Thanks anon, will look into it. :)
>>24945959What illusion? The illusion of choice?
Most societies don't have a concept of love because most societies aren't monogamous to begin with.Most of the thread seems to ignore that the concept of love is only a thing in abrahamic cultures because of their monogamy. If love was a true concept it would have been universal among humans and different cultures. Meanwhile you have places like ancient China and Japan where women weren't even expected to be monogamous because that's how little the husbands cared about their wives. Having as much women as possible was not only expected, they literally couldn't even comprehend the concept of monogamy when westerners introduced them to the concept.Most of Africa is still not monogamous even with centuries of Christian proselytizing, that's how much it goes against human nature.The concept of love rapidly crumbles if you stop looking at the world from a eurocentric perspective.

'The Grand Inquisitor' a poem-excerpt from The Brothers Karamazovhttps://www.gutenberg.org/files/8578/8578-h/8578-h.htmit explains how Jesus is a pick-me and how that's good actually
>>24945949If you are alluding to Dostoevsky’s worst novels, then, indeed, I dislike intensely The Brothers Karamazov and the ghastly Crime and Punishment rigamarole. No, I do not object to soul-searching and self-revelation, but in those books the soul, and the sins, and the sentimentality, and the journalese, hardly warrant the tedious and muddled search. Dostoyevsky’s lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre-Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity – all this is difficult to admire. I do not like this trick his characters have of ”sinning their way to Jesus” or, as a Russian author, Ivan Bunin, put it more bluntly, ”spilling Jesus all over the place." Crime and Punishment’s plot did not seem as incredibly banal in 1866 when the book was written as it does now when noble prostitutes are apt to be received a little cynically by experienced readers. Dostoyevsky never really got over the influence which the European mystery novel and the sentimental novel made upon him. The sentimental influence implied that kind of conflict he liked—placing virtuous people in pathetic situations and then extracting from these situations the last ounce of pathos. Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not all Russians love Dostoevsky as much as Americans do, and that most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his tremendous farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be endured for one moment—by this reader anyway. Dostoyevsky seems to have been chosen by the destiny of Russian letters to become Russia’s greatest playwright, but he took the wrong turning and wrote novels.
>>24945026Philosophy, theology and arguments do not convince people of religious claims. The arguments work on those who want them to work and don't on those who don't/are neutral. At the end of the day you either believe or don't and THEN you justify it all.For the vast majority of religious people it's not a matter of having read the right arguments, they just 'feel' it, they 'experience' something that convinces them.For the vast majority of people who aren't religious it's also not a matter of being convinced by the right arguments, it's just that... they don't believe it. Nothing has convinced them. God, religion, prayer, the supernatural etc. just isn't a part of their life - divine hiddenness.
