Article talking about what most of us already knew. DEI was designed to block out white millennial men from a range of institutions. Unfortunately the author bales Gen X men for the most part but it's important this stuff gets out there. https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-lost-generation/
>>24953110We should exterminate zoomer "men"
>>24953256Zoomer men are more conservative than millennial "men". Even that article says it's wrong to reject liberalism even though it leads to predatory DEI.

>>24952980There's no good reason not to support a coup or an overthrow of the current government. If it's discriminating against white men, white men have no good reason not to tear it down.
>>24953222And for how long have straight, white men occupied 99% of positions due to discrimination?
I know it sounds corny but the consolation of philosophy has now saved me multiple times. It saved me from sadness and confusion and it invigorated my faith. It’s the most important book besides the holy scripture.
I read it and got nothing out of it. I found it mostly incomprehensible.
>>24953087I get that the poetic parts are quite difficult, with or without knowledge on Greek mythology. But the prose sections are pretty straightforward imo.Also the whole concept of the book is beautiful.
>>24953057I love it, although for me the Commedia has played this role more often. Excellent taste Anon. That book is crammed with wisdom.

You and every other person out there agrees.Imagine if the nobel prize in literature every year was just awarded to William Shakespeare, that's exactly what you fart-sniffing faggots are doing.

r8 my character dialogue:"As the viper makes their den, there in their teaming bosom shall I be unto them their worldly night, coiled about their love to pierce beating heart with sharp toothed venom - to devour their fading life of spirit, and by slowing passage of time as thinner the blood runs extinguish by my entry all hope of renewal.So shall I be unto the virgins breast like knife to sheath, and run all warmth into unsated soil that whets the appetite of my feeding"
>>24953215>Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water. When she closed her eyes at last, Dany did not know whether she would be strong enough to open them again.Truly the height of literature to be aspired to in the modern day.

I think it's impossible to make money off of sharing abstract knowledge. Can you prove me wrong?Because I've tried to make money off talking about philosophy and its just futile. I thought of the 48 laws of power for instance and then I realized that book is just obvious hot garbage.I thought of so many other things like economists, internet bloggers, and even psychologists. And they're all either just spewing lies and falsehoods, writing a whole load of useless filler, or making money in some weird abusive way like taking taxpayer dollars, embarrassing college campus kids or something like that.I think if I could go back in time with the best writing possible, I couldn't convince anyone that the Earth revolves around the sun in a way that makes me money...
>>24952840>wah wah my family didn’t give me handouts Shut up faggot. Make some money like a man.
>>24952773>I think it's impossible to make money off of sharing abstract knowledge. Can you prove me wrong?There are many people who make a living solely from technical blogs
>>24952773It's not impossible because people have done it and still do it. What you mean is: it's very hard, and a lot of factors go into it. Yes, indeed. That's not a particularly unique insight.
>>24952773the only way to make money through mere knowledge (so not skill e.g knowing how to do x but rather knowing that x) is through deceit and corruption, see charles ponzi and wallace fard muhammad or joseph smith.

>>24952728>>24952728>le mind wipe to make everyone friendsThat ending was really off-putting.The spiders basically mind control and enslave the humans to ensure their obedience. And that's presented as a good thing.I guess the author had no idea how to plausibly resolve the conflict.>Made me not want to read the rest of the books.You didn't miss much. I only read the second book and it is the first book again only with a less interesting premise and less interesting alien species.
Anyone read picrel? It was unbelievably depressing.I hate thinking that the best times are past us and that we are doomed, but it is hard to reconcile this level of consumption of empty stimuli with a future worth living in.People were leveling the same arguments against the printing press and the radio, so I can't help but feel too alarmist. What do you think?
>People were leveling the same arguments against the printing press and the radioPeople didn't carry printing presses or radios or televisions around with them for sixteen hours a day.
>>24953038Gooning is revolutionary that’s why the zog-feminazi regime fears it. Heil the incoming thousand year goonreich.
Yeah. It started out feeling very pearl-clutchy but then I started to see what he was getting at, and at the end he blatantly stated it: gooners are simply ahead of the curve. The kind of behaviors they exhibit are only exaggerations of the current zeitgeist. Gooners obsessively consume short-form video content for several hours a day, they form parasocial relationships with internet celebrities, they waste even more time bragging about their favorite celebrities on social media as well as broadcasting their niche interests for fellow obsessives. This is basically how all of Gen Z behave on the internet, and a few Millennials as well. Gooners simply wedded these behaviors to porn so they could jack off while doing it, which in the author's own words, "simply makes them more honest".

>What makes you think you're good enough to write a book?
>>24951847Did you gain any readership?Would you consider yourself a graphomaniac?
>>24948669Because my ideas are actually kind of fire and I like writing. And I have a lot to say paired with an outlook that I think is a needed one.
I'm high IQ and have a lot of empathy and can intuitively understand how people think. Only real problem is being a shut-in with little life experience and while that definitely hinders me I don't think it's a fatal blow. It just means my work should lean heavily into expressing the pain of isolation and alienation.
>>24951814good mindset, good analogy
