I am a Chad and to be honest it aint all that. Yeah you can easily meet girls but I dont really get anything out of it because when you are really handsome you become like a pretty woman, you can have sex easily, but that does not make you happy at all. So in the end even if you do everything "right" in your life you will usually have to find someone who is a good soul and most people who have that will not look "like" you but will usually be less attractive. Attractive people are just very rare and therefore its very unlikely that you will find someone who has a good soul and who looks good too.

But I get it: looking like an average man seems like hell to me.

Exactly, which is why it's so strange to see people saying things like "Why does God allow pedophilia? Checkmate, Christcucks!" when according to their own version of events, child marriage long predates the Abrahamic religions. Why would an eternal God be expected to condemn something because it's been fashionable to hate it for the past 30-50 years?

OT god / g-d is a diabolical entity that desires eternal baby torture and blind obedience, genocide and whatnot.
Christ's teachings are quite contrary to that; the inner God.

Tolkien was a Rosicrucian so he knew.

Misleading and abusing children is the chief evil according to Jesus, but notably OT and Talmud are excessively pedophilic.

Wolfe added that in response to the speculation
>>
>>25013087
The fuck are you talking about speculation. It's described how he fucks her lifeless body while she's passed out. This is then followed by Severian thinking Dorcas felt betrayed due to infidelity though it's obvious because he took advantage of what at that point was her best friend and she (1) couldn't do anything about it and (2) trusted Severian. At this point in the story Dorcas hadn't seen Severian for ages

>the first read I didn't really understand anything either
The problem is the books are so bad no sane person can endure even the first read, let alone multiple.

Say what you will but Severians' costume is very cool. I'd like to dress up as him for a convention or something. Probably should read the other books first, I've just done the mainline series so far.

You should read Jean-Clément Martin and Hervé Leuwers, and most importantly a compilation of his speeches. If there are no translations then just ask AI to translate it all. Robespierre is just a scapegoat.

The Revolution was and Robespierre did wrong things but he was not the worst one of the bunch. Herbert and some others make him look like a decent, reasonable man.

I can't really be bothered to have strong opinions about the french revolution. The way I see it, it was just the bourgeoisie and the bureaucratic class created by Louis XIV fighting the ancien regime for the right to exploit the masses.

You grew up in a world where octopi are common in children's cartoons; you never took the time to appreciate how fucking weird they would look to someone who's never seen one before. Octopi aren't common in western cuisine and they weren't talked about much in western culture a hundred years ago; people back then called them devilfish because of how bizarre and ugly they are.

He was a pulp writer from the 1920s, you insufferable fucking faggot. He was not some high-level prose writer celebrated for his literary beauty or genius. He fucking wrote horror stories for magazines. He was practically unheard of in his own lifetime. You were expecting to read what? Read it for what it is or don't read it . But fuck off from this forum with your pseudo-intellectual faggotry.

>“I was never served so before without giving a hard blow for it,” muttered Stubb, as he found himself descending the cabin-scuttle. “It’s very queer. Stop, Stubb; somehow, now, I don’t well know whether to go back and strike him, or—what’s that?—down here on my knees and pray for him? Yes, that was the thought coming up in me; but it would be the first time I ever did pray. It’s queer;9 very queer; and he’s queer too; aye, take him fore and aft, he’s about the queerest old man Stubb ever sailed with. How he flashed at me!—his eyes like powder-pans! is he mad? Anyway there’s something on his mind, as sure as there must be something on a deck when it cracks. He aint in his bed now, either, more than three hours out of the twenty-four; and he don’t sleep then. Didn’t that Dough-Boy,10 the steward, tell me that of a morning he always finds the old man’s hammock clothes all rumpled and tumbled, and the sheets down at the foot, and the coverlid almost tied into knots, and the pillow a sort of frightful hot, as though a baked brick had been on it? A hot old man! I guess he’s got what some folks ashore call a conscience; it’s a kind of Tic-Dolly-row11 they say—worse nor a toothache. Well, well; I don’t know what it is, but the Lord keep me from catching it. He’s full of riddles; I wonder what he goes into the after hold for, every night, as Dough-Boy tells me he suspects; what’s that for, I should like to know? Who’s made appointments with him in the hold? Ain’t that queer, now? But there’s no telling, it’s the old game
