>>24950376I know this is b8 but it's so embarrassing how many science fiction stories have climate change as a plot point.
>>24950313I found out about the book from this thread. I'm not going to willingly go into any place as retarded as /wng.
Guys I can't read this shit anymore. Please I need a good middle ground between 500 pages of meandering nonsense and teenage girl assassin. I try 100 books and get bored or roll my eyes and throw it at a wall for 99 of them. I need slopkino.
>>24950394Leftists don’t have power. Liberals (which are center-right by most countries’ standards) have a foothold in academia, but entertainment is just run by staunch capitalists which have no ideology other than making money. Meanwhile look who is running the government.>>24950413Yeah, it’s so cringe to tackle the biggest issue of our time in fiction, it’s a good thing science fiction never addressed real-world issues in the past.
>>24950409>your criticisms are validThey are not so please go back to your containment board, /pol/
What did I think?
>>24948627We got a Grinch here that needs some bullying.
>>24946201Agreed. Really curious why schools pushed him so hard.
>>24949615You know why.>he named (((them)))
>>24947559This is not a black space.
>>24947736Green eggs and han only used 50 words
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.
>>24949776Forgot to add this example: in the US, if your parent is old and needs care, the culture is to dump them into an assisted-care facility and calls it a day; taking care of your elderly parents is too much of a burden for the average American.
>>24945823This might be the most based post I have read on this website
>>24948196The phenomenon of love being demonstrably present in the material world does not mean it originates from iotas banging around -- Rather, the little particles seem to be the child of Love.
>>24950112Love is not and cannot be present unless there is a very specific structure of biological matter and the presence of certain molecules.
>>24945936No it's actually because most "people" are vile and base subhumans (not me though).
>7 books completed>12 books behind schedule
>>24949373Any non-zero amount of books is a good amount of books, so good job, anon. It's constructive to feel this way, and it lets you look ahead to the next year with a goal in mind. If you did seven, aim for eight - any more will be a bonus.>>24949475Some hefty ones in here, that easily could have been 2+ smaller books (especially Earthsea, if you mean the collected edition?). Don't let it get you down.
>>24949452It is to me. I don't actually care what you think I just posted it for my own admiration. I like to talk to myself a lot, too.
>>24949475>EarthseaI read these too. You don't count them as 6 separate books? Inflate those numbers, baby.
>>24949373I read 2 books this year and I am impressed, feels pretty good
>>24949427You got this my brotha. I believe in thee.
It is not exactly well known in modern circles but much of Hemingways writing had fetishistic undertones for the sexual fetishes be possessed. It is well known that in most of his novels the main women has some sort of ratchet short haircut. Lady Brett Ashley,Maria and Catherine Barkley all had very intense details on the short hair they had. Further most of his wives had short hair and it was a subject of contention for His first wife Hadley Richardson and a mainstay with his second Pauline. Further the topic of women on male anal stimulation comes up in some of his works but more overt. The garden of Eden book truly is the embodiment of the Hemingway sexuality. Hemingwaybros how do you cope with the great man’s man writer liking women with boy haircuts and getting his buddy tickled. Personally I enjoy it.
>>24944831Based. I love Hemingway's writing, and I love women with short hair too.
>>24948644I hate women with short hair, but I like reading.What is something short but sweet from the old Earnest? Then which is his best novel?I have read Old man and the Sea.
>>24948659Farewell to Arms is his best novel. That said, Hemingway really shines most in his short stories. If you only read one thing by Hemingway, the Finca Vigia collection is the one to go with.
>>24944831If you can't disconnect author from his work and distinguish fiction from reality then you are genuinly low IQ. Or are you just brown? Do you also think Hemingway got shot in his dick during WW1 since Sun Also Rises is about that? Do you think Agatha Christie was serial killer since she wrote about murders?Do you have inner monologue? Can you imagine hypothetical situations?
i love hemmingway, short haired girls, and getting my ass eaten, but i do not believe hemmingway ever alludes to assplay in any of his works. he keeps it very vague and what is hinted at seems very vanilla.
Do Tolkiendrones realize that fantasy existed before Lord of the Rings and that it suffered greatly from Big Fat Fantasy and other sloppy derivatives that grew like viruses from Tolkien's wen? https://voca.ro/1Rwc7lMX0hfT
>>24939820>Is Named China>Is A Communist>Mieville>Bald As Moby
>>24940772
>>24949835You thought that was clever, didn't you? You unwashed manbaby.
>>24939820I'm writing a “Futuristic existential dystopian meta-epic with elements of philosophical science fiction, apocalyptic fiction, post-apocalyptic societal reconstruction, spacefaring coming-of-age, and speculative political thriller". Y'all need to stop reading genreslop and blaming other people when it's boring and derivative lol
Tolkien didn't fucking invent European folklore. Elves, dwarves, and magic rings have been part of our heritage forever. Tolkien was a remixer, just like every artist.People copy Tolkien because he was big. It's true he mollycoddles readers, and the more retarded factions of the right idolise him because he presents a cheap and fake nostalgia of a world before things like ethics and relations got complex. But subversion of something flawed isn't automatically good just because it's a subversion, same for originality. Good art that moves on from Tolkien will complexify the message, making it more true, while leaving what was already true in it.
>The Enlightenment was... le BAD?
>>24948256>le Enlightenment is le bad>but let's just unquestioningly hold to its premises that freedom is power/potential, wholly discursive reason, truth as constraint, concrete particulars are more fundamental, nominalism/individualism, and the resulting voluntarism that comes with these assumptions.>Hence, we must be terrified of le riefication which is le oppression because le freedom is potency, so the actualization of the intellect by truth is le bad. Truth is le violence.The irony is the misology and relativism this triggers just reduces in everything coming down to power relations. Reason can no longer adjudicate and so all that is left is the violence of Hitler, Stalin, and the liberal states against the Third World. The only thing that papered this over was zombie like continuation of Christian ethical and teleological assumptions. The spiritual logic of critical theory and post-modernism both terminate in fascism, whether they like it or not.Dostoevsky saw further than most here.
>>24949678>>but let's just unquestioningly hold to its premises that freedom is power/potential, wholly discursive reason, truth as constraint, concrete particulars are more fundamental, nominalism/individualism, and the resulting voluntarism that comes with these assumptions.in english, doc.
>>24949089>How does reason emerge from primitive god worship?Grasping the nature of universals, something no animal is capable of.
>>24949549Your mother's mouth revolves around my dick>>24949674Not an atheist
>>24949089I'm hijacking this thread to vent with relevancy to this. I fucking hate all humans except for myself and want them to die out. The only means of acting on this I have are the following:Don't do anything for anyone except myself and my personal gain. Invest in whatever brings me the most profit, which inevitably includes companies that exploit people, harm them through medication and implant side effects as well as addiction, build weapons that kill millions, cause financial crises and destroy the environment. Drive a car that consumes a lot of gas and produces a lot of emissions to destroy the environment. Fly as much as I can to destroy the environment. Eat meat to destroy the environment.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Walk with me, my sweet summer child, and hear the tale of fat pink masts jutting into sopping wet myrish swamps and black nipples brushing against silk until her cunt became the world while in the privy the princess guzzled arbor gold and shat but the more she drank the more she shat until she was shitting brown water and around her the planks of the ship groaned like a fat man taking a shit while she cursed the gods and nuncle smiled as he broke his fast on black bread, bacon burned black, and mulled wine while capon-grease dribbled down his chin and onto the boiled leather of his jerkin for she was wet with love and did she not know words are wind and dark wings bring dark words and a lannister always pays her debts and mayhaps this is nothing but a mummers farce and useless as nipples on a breastplate and the princess has been fucking lancel and moonboy for all nuncle knows and he is the blood of the dragon for the night is dark and full of terrors but where do whores go and jon snow knows nothing and near enough makes no matter so nuncle smiled and dipped the heel of his bread into clam chowder and prayed for half a hundred more heh har HODOR

>>24949705Orys II
>>24949698>The gooey warm sensation inside her and the sordid knowledge that it was her own beloved son who was emptying his baby-making batter inside her brought Rhaenyra to her own orgasm a moment later, as she shivered and gasped against him, grinding her pelvis against his as he continued filling her.>When their mutual orgasm died down, she collapsed atop him with a long sigh, planting kisses on his shoulder. They said nothing for several moments before she ran her fingers through his brown hair. “Luke…are you alright?”
The dregs of society pool together like the dirty puddles they tromp. Dublin is their city. Dubh Linn. Black Pool. The name evokes images of heroin rolling on foil. The Spire watches high over O'Connell Street, a lantern above the oily slick roads, taxis and buses rolling through them, like a needle penetrating the veiny patchwork streets.

>>24947357The first mistake you made was trying to carry a conversation over the dating app rather than just coordinating the first date so you can talk in person.

If you identify yourself by reading something that makes you appear smart, you are not a reader. You are a poseur. Especially if what you read is only chosen because it's been chosen for you by a consensus of "academics" and "critics" who couldn't hack into the sciences. Literary studies and English departments are by far the least intellectually rigorous on a university campus.
>>24950049>I can’t think for myself and come to best conclusions possible based on given information and analysis Again, stay at the kids table with your overgrown bedtime stories, faggot.

I can't help but notice all but two are post-modern. Postmodern lit is truly garbage.
How do you actually overcome post-modernism?
>politicians pander and lieI like Zizek but this point is so lukewarm it beggars belief
mai waifu gives me the strenght
>>24948572>How do you actually overcome post-modernism?Gas chambers. Real ones.
>>24949625Why would being a Catholic on 4chan make me a hypocrite? It's possible to use this website without sinning, you know.
You build your society on truth, not tradition.Tradition is too easily overtaken, corrupted, and turned into a source of lies that control your life. It is abused by the unethical and upheld by useful idiots. Truth can't be overtaken like that, which is why propaganda is necessary. None of the postmodern criticisms defeated the concept of truth, which anybody would know if they actually read them instead of listening to peterstein.
How does modern technology change Spengler's predictions? He probably didn't see europe becoming 30% foreigners by 2025 too.
>>24948399>I'm not enjoying it>I want to finish it.Where is this audience that you are reading the 1920s bald chud for anon?

A downloaded LLM is a magic cube—a small encyclopedia that is yours forever. Prompt it, and the cube, a massive list of numbers, unfolds itself into coherent meaning. There is a romantic ingenuity to this artifact. Even after civilization ends, you can still carry it with you—this little cube that echoes the ensemble of human thought. Talking to it is like striking a tuning fork; the harmonies were once our humanity.And while it may not yet think like a human, this pinnacle of technology is more than a work of art. It is the memory of humanity itself.
