What's the one by Kipling about a settler/pioneer making his way into an undiscovered land? Thanks in advance, pic unrel
This is a post asking for general reading recommendations.If you read past that first line then lay any collections you like on me, please, because I'm new to poetry. I'm open to anything but if that's too nebulous then "The Graveyard By The Sea", "Ulalume", and "Song of the Bell" have all stuck with me recently.

>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.
>>24951299what's the secret to getting (You)'s on my posts?
>>24951621Depends on the type of (You)s you want.

Is Behold a Pale Horse worth reading? Do any of the conspiracy classics have worthwhile writing?
>>24952010Yeah he knows his stuff. Mostly political/conspiracy oriented though.
Any books I should read on how to write before writing a book? I tried to write just a page but it was utter shite.
>>24952050Nah. Just write. Write again. And again. And again and again and again and again, then after 20 or so years of continuously writing, you might create something of below average quality.
I have found that learning how to draft a novel chapter by chapter has helped me significantly. Here's a good video on how to do it.https://youtu.be/RmhAGZJOf_o?si=kcX95Qhnqmbw7wJt
If, according to Gnosticism, the material world was created by an ignorant or malevolent Demiurge, why did the higher, benevolent source of reality allow such a being or such a world to come into existence? This idea seems to relocate the problem of evil to a meta-level rather than resolving it.
>>24949807Would the higher, benevolent source of reality punch the small, dumb guy? That wouldn't be very benevolent.
>>24950587the problem is that in neoplatonism the monad cannot be understood or known or even thought about
>>24950052Read up on emanationism and Plato's view on the demiurge. Plotinus critiques the gnostics for this and their cosmogony. But the gnostics do have their gems.

Is this actually poorly written, or is that just the thing where they try to bash him any way they can (small dick, missing testicle, secretly gay, etc.)

What's a good book to start with Jung? I'm already familiar with psychoanalysis.I am mainly interested in dream analysis and archetypes, but I have researched and found that Man and His Symbols was not written by him personally, but by his assistants, and is actually a simple introduction.

Mark Winborn - Jungian Psychoanalysis, A Contemporary IntroductionMan And His Symbols was started by him in collaboration with some of his pupils, then finished by them after he died.
>>24951656>dream analysis>i, as an external, want to not only comprehend a fundamentally self-referential+intrinsically-individual & illogical part of the mind, but also to systematize an understanding/interpretation of the part of the individuals mind that is totally unmodulated and black boxed from the group/society.kekaroo. literally the dumbest most gigahonked big top clown venture in all of psychology. i would be serious $$$ that astrology has more predictive power.

>>24951917yeah. in my headheh
>>24951917No. If there's going to be a wiki around my work, it's going to be handled by my most dedicated and autistic readers (I love them).
>>24951917I use a combination of Obsidian and random .txt files located in random folders.Thinking about making the switch to Zim
>>24951968I like everything about Obsidian EXCEPT its text formatting. I am not wrangling fucking asterisks and underscores, I left that life behind on Google+
>>24951435I deliberately didn't put numbers on my stats, although improvements to stats did exist. In my head (not in the text), a stat increase (again, not numbered) was like a 50% multiplier against what that person's normal [whatever] was. I also kept things mainly low leveled, so a normal person would be like level 5-10 with a certain number of stat boosts so that people were stronger than others, but not wildly out of scale (until the end lol).Avoiding numbers is the best way, because otherwise you do have to contend with the power imbalance of it all, and if you do that, readers (at least mine) really didn't want to hear about it. Themes of self-defense and agency compared to super humans really didn't land well; RR readers want power fantasies they can self-insert into.

>>24951258Look, nigger. What exactly wrong with imperialism and why do you hate success and conquest?
>>24951504Ironic considering Marx hated brown people
>>24951946Something about it subsuming true national interests and depoliticizing the state to the laws of the international economy and the interests of an international cabal of financial kleptocrats who steal and consolidate everything they can while destroying every institution in their way, leading to mass displacement, wars, corruption, and turdies flooding your country 120 years later.

What is the oldest book you've read that really disturbed youI just finished reading Matthew Lewis' The Monk and was surprised by how brutal it still is after over two centuries
>tfw I want to write horror but it is never scary enoughThis has to be one of the hardest genres to write.
>>24950334Don't focus too much on the scary stuff. Just make it interesting and be a good storyteller.
>>24919376Sell The Monk to me bros. It's only $11 for a copy on Amazon and I'm very tempted to buy it.
What's the best Stephen King book out of these to read: >Gerald's Game>The Long Walk>11/23/63>Cell >Eyes of the Dragon>Rage>ThinnerThese are the only ones I'm interested at all in reading. I'm also wondering if anyone could recommend books or stories similar to King's novelette Jerusalem's Lot? I couldn't care less to read the book, the prequel was fucking awesome though.
>>24919376>The Accusations>Lewis was accused of unoriginality because he essentially created a "pastiche" by borrowing plot motifs, characters, and entire scenes from various European sources. >This practice was not as strictly policed as modern copyright law dictates, but critics used it to malign Lewis's literary standing, especially once his identity as an MP was revealed.
Are there any librarians or library assistants here? How did you get your job? I want to be a library assistant but Ive found it difficult to find a job.

My mom ks one. She got in with a bachelor's degree in equine science. Without an MA you can only be a librarian for small-town libraries though
>>24949864I once I got a job as a library assistant in a call center. Didn't last for more than six months because I didn't fit in with anyone else.
