Why does every Camus thread on /lit/ immediately devolve into shitposting?
>>24785126>I rebel therefore I am.I will not defend that one. Maybe it sounded less cringe in French.>Camus thought making the breakthrough to Le Absurd wasn't an endpoint for his thought but rather a beginning.Source?
>>24785126Actually he does talk hypothetically about a philosophical system based on the absurd ("if one even is possible") in The Rebel. Though idk if that counts as proof that he wanted to develop one.
>>24785083"ehrrmm, why does every camus thread immediately turn into shitposting? he's ackshually a good writer"
>>24785083
>>24785127>>24785130I don't remember his exact order but he did to his credit game this out. There will never be any philosophical truths to provide what you're truly looking for, even if you stumble upon one the rest of the world will always be uncaring. He even thought that it didn't matter whether you went with random chance or predetermination, neither side has produced anything but contradictions. Even if you reach a theoretical limit you still have to have a practical basis, etc. So if you follow Camus then he is basically tossing his Le Absurdist condition onto you to deal with. He's also of the opinion it may not matter how much you rebel against it since he thought suicide was meaningless. If you try to communicate this to anyone else in order to start a meaning wave then all you do it transfer the condition so you're not going to start a new philosophical way of life but really just tell someone rebellion might be futile beyond exploring contradictions and maybe offering you some happiness. Even if you had the perfect notion then you still have to deal with permanent philosophical ambiguity. >outcomes>most people won't make it to this point>most that do won't be able to surmount all the hurdles>for those that do there might be an admission that it won't matter if they clear all the hurdles>for most who clear all of them the result is a highly vetted existential thinker, the primary reason Camus was unable to avoid the term. Think legitimate authenticity, ability to create value, define life purpose on individual terms, etc.>for the few who clear all of them but recognize all facets of his argument there is just a paradox that if solved could destroy all previous philosophical speculation but solving it might not do much for you and no one has accomplished it in a lifetime. >there are no transfers. >Good Luck champ, Le Absurd awaits!
What kind of fucking cuckoldry is this
>>24782625Doesn't describe how Jews are to ritually sacrifice children and drink their blood so it's a fairytale.
>>24783292Kek, true.God in the Bible canonically has sense of humor.

>>24782212my dick.
>>24782078think of it this way:Job is an upright man because he's self employed and his "just in case" sacrifices are quarterly estimated taxes, He trusts the government, yet he gets fucked at the end during spring tax season and god and satan are politicians
Why do we never mention the library and always talk about pirating? It's like a legal form of pirating and you can watch cool movies too with Kanopy.It it a psyop to destroy trust in communities and make posters scared to leave the house?
>>24784124IJ checked out by the tome gnomes again
Imagine how cool the library would be if they kicked out the homeless and got rid of the gay stuff and children's section and let people drink coffee and smoke

Books on how to stop being a narcissist?
No book, just fall into a crippling deep depression and then crawl back out before you neck.
>>24784511>identify what narcissism is>identify root causes>change them through habit or decisionsIt's really simple OP
>>24784511Don't. This world has nothing to offer any man of substance. You have no obligation to accept a world which shits upon you day and day out because of things outside of your control. You could of course, transition, but that's giving into the world of appearances to the world of substance, and as a man of substance the world of vanity offers you nothing but temporary pleasures.
>>24784511Narcissists have low emotional intelligence.I think you should start with the Greek fables, unironically, and make your way to YAs, the genre slop, the litfics and then the classics. In that order.
you are not a narcissist, you've been convinced by a world that wishes to see you brought low that pride, superiority, confidence and open virility are evil traits
Which epic poems have you read, anons? And what do you think of the epic? Can epic poetry be written in the modern period? Think ‘A’, Cantos, Paterson, and Omeros.
What languages should we strive to learn as a lovers of the epic? I feel most modern languages aren’t fit to purpose as all European epics were composed in times of greater morphological complexity
>>24784970>original thing is made >refined version of original is committed to posterity >self-conscious imitation of refined version is made using a fundamentally different mode of production >meta, fourth-wall-breaking imitation of the imitation is made, now the mode of production and the social circumstances of the author are both fundamentally different from the original >the last step in this process becomes the standard of legitimacy for membership in the genre you just fell victim to one of the classic blunders
>>24784773that a man, even the greatest man, can't do it all on his own. that is the lesson that one comes away with, from the stories themselves and the story of the stories.

>>24785105Arabic first and foremost.
just a cool factoid
>>24784290No I was always poor.
>>24784303Same, but also due to population collapse and statistics so is basically every European, just not documented, insofar as there was a specific king that the legend is based on.
>>24784197>Fanfic character descended from fanfic characterWow cool.
>>24784958The consensus among historians is that King Arthur was real, if embellished.You stupid poof
Was he? I know Brutus, Aeneas' grandson, founded Britain, but IIRC his line had dried up well before the time of the Romans. Arthur was a Roman-Briton.

Half of your population are khachi from -stan countries and Chechnya is an all-muslim zone where Russian law doesn't even apply.

Putin has been very vocal about his support of the muslim population in his "I am Chechen, I am Dagestani" speech.>"Paris Syndrome" is a thing that affects Asian tourists visiting Paris, there is no corresponding "Moscow Syndrome".Cause no one is fucking visiting your shithole.

Which e-reader do you have /lit/? Are you happy with it? Is it complicated to get books to it?I am thinking about the Kobo Libra but it seems like getting books onto it is an extremely convoluted process that involves Calibre, KOreader, some plugins, and I don't even know what. And then I looked into Calibre and the first thing I see about it is that it doesn't let you put books in your own folders and it copies your entire library according to its folder scheme. Is there a better library program and a better reader or a better overall experience that isn't like installing Linux? At this point from what I've read I think I should just continue buying actual paper books because this all just sounds like an extreme annoyance. Or maybe I just need to install a good reader program on Windows. What's a good Windows program to read books in like ComicRack for comics?

I read some of the "anti-racist" biographies at the public library, and the level of hatred these brown women have towards white girls is insane. There was one with a black girl at some anti-racist seminar just demeaning and making fun of this white woman doing her best to apologize for her implicit biases and privilege. With all these books about race being published everywhere, all these experiences as a diaspora. When is the actual unspoken truth going to get published? the burning resentment and hatred that non-white women have towards white women? Or is that too much for the publishing industry?

>>24784962Yes. Seek wisdom
>>24784221It's only distantly relevant, but your post reminded me of Orwell>I suppose I had not been five minutes on Moroccan soil before I noticed the overloading of the donkeys and was infuriated by it. There is no question that the donkeys are damnably treated. The Moroccan donkey is hardly bigger than a St Bernard dog, it carries a load which in the British army would be considered too much for a fifteen-hands mule, and very often its pack-saddle is not taken off its back for weeks together. But what is peculiarly pitiful is that it is the most willing creature on earth, it follows its master like a dog and does not need either bridle or halter. After a dozen years of devoted work it suddenly drops dead, whereupon its master tips it into the ditch and the village dogs have torn its guts out before it is cold.
>>24782027Incels are right about basically everything.
not a big reader but I recently watched The Dark Crystal and its Series and really loved the setting. But I´m new to the genre and was wondering if there are anons that could recommend books with a similar feeling or any other fantasy books with this almost (doomlike/post-catastrophic and yet mythical?) feeling
>>24783584no but the cover looks good>t. judges books by their covers
>>24783418The Dark Crystal is eerily peak fantasy precisely because of how alien it is. It has no humans whatsoever. It’s all props. It’s peak art (capital-a Art), period.
>>24783701>>t. judges books by their coversKek me too.Her old covers were always peak.
>>24783804it truly is, henson created a masterpiece and then noone ever created something similar>>24783897is it good?
>>24783418Chronicles of Thomas Covenant fits the bill.
*shits all over your Christianity*
>>24782894an engaging book*
>>24782894I agree. Even though it's prosaically a B-tier or C-tier literature, the level of engagement he's able to repeat in every chapter for the whole book is masterclass. He should stop writing his langdonslop and write a book about writing.
>>24780235IMHO the only reason it's famous is because it's controversial. Specifically, what's presented in media as the right "cool kids" type of rebellion, and that's against christianity. That's why the publisher saw commercial potential in it and made big ad campaign for it. Remember that the jew will never miss a chance for shitting on jesus christ and making it part of the culture.
