Seems pretty rational to me. Is there anything this book gets wrong? Also what is some good further literature on economics that's not so entry level.

>Cute opens a microcosmic gate onto the transcendental process of acceleration itself.Joining the swarming e-girls, t-girls, NEETS, anons, and otaku who rescued accelerationism from the double pincers of media panic and academic buzzkill by introducing it to big eyes, fluffy ears, programming socks, and silly memes, they discover that the objects of cute culture are just spinoffs of an accelerative process booping us from the future, rendering us all submissive, breedable, helpless, and cute in our turn. Cute comes tomorrow, and only anastrophe can make sense of what it will have been doing to us.Evading all discipline, sliding across all possible surfaces, Cute Accelerationism embraces every detail of the symptomatology, aetiology, epidemiology, history, biology, etymology, topology, and even embryology of Cute, joyfully burrowing down into its natural, cultural, sensory, sexual, subjective, erotic, and semiotic dimensions in order to sound out the latent spaces of this Thing that has soft-soaped its way into human culture.Traversing tangents on natural and unnatural selection, runaway supernormalisation, the collective self-transformation of genderswarming cuties, the hyperstitional cultures of shojo and otaku, denpa and 2D love, and the cute subworlds of aegyo and meng, moé and flatmaxxing, catboys and dogon eggs, bobbles and gummies, vore machines and partial objects, BwOs and UwUs…glomping, snuggling, smooshing and squeeeeing their way toward the event horizon of Cute, donning cat ears and popping bubbles as they go, in this untimely philosophical intensification of an omnipresent phenomenon, having surrendered to the squishiest demonic possession, like, ever, two bffs set out in search of the transcendental shape of cuteness only to realize that, even though it is all around us, we do not yet know what Cute can do.

Sotos? Only value is that he exposes true crime fans, their media counterparts and those with 'humanitarian' interests as hypocrites and liars. Otherwise it's just 'my diary desu' ramblings and seethings. He's solipsistic for the most part.

Every time I see anyone discussing philosophy, whether on /lit/ or elsewhere, almost every single person misrepresents the views of the philosopher in question and brings up obviously incorrect criticisms.I don't mean that their interpretation is different than mine and I dislike that. I mean that their "interpretation" is explicitly against what the philosopher claims in their own text. Like there is a section where the philosopher will say "I don't mean X" and people will say "so he meant X??". And the "criticisms" are the same half baked attacks that the philosopher themselves presents and shoots down in the text. Not modified in any way, and not counterarguments against what was presented, just the same exact shit.It's almost as if they haven't even read the philosopher in question. Or skimmed a wikipedia article, honestly. Like god damn.
indeed. but so are most philosophers
>>25017432Living philosophy is more important than reading it. There's too much to read and too much non-objectivity over what's worth reading. Read enough, then live. Learning how to apply a philosophical outlook to the mundane details of one's small life is the art each man must make in his life. Philosophy is meant to be applied, not merely theorized. You must embody a philosophy and live it.
>>25017432This.However, do realize most American academies want you to be a slave to Analytic philosophy, a handmaiden to STEM disciplines.
continentalfags need not apply
>>25017515True, and I’m in Australia studying philosophy so I get it, but you can still say what you like provided you aren’t a complete fucking sperg (which might be too much to ask from some people around here.) Criticisms of analytic philosophy are everywhere too so it isn’t forbidden, but analytic philosophers don’t apply them because their need to apply reductive logic is a character defect more than anything else.

Gods, Divinities, Religion, and Faith Edition FAQ:>What is worldbuilding?Worldbuilding is the process of creating entire fictional worlds from scratch, all while considering the logistics of these worlds to make them as believable as possible. Worldbuilding asks questions about the setting of a world, and then answers them, often in great detail. Most people use it as a means of creating a setting or the scenery for a story.>"Isn't there a Worldbuilding general in >>>/tg/ already?"Yes, there is. However, that general is focused on the creation of fictional worlds for the intended purpose of playing TTRPG campaigns. Here you can discuss worldbuilding projects that are not meant to be used for a roleplaying setting, but for novels, videogames, or any other kind of creative project.>"Can I discuss the setting of my campaign here, though?"If you want to, but it would probably be better to discuss it on >>>/tg/ . We don't allow the discussion of TTRPG mechanics, however. If you want to discuss stats or which D&D edition is best, this is not the place.>"Can I talk about an existing fictional setting that is not mine?"Yes, of course you can!>"Does worldbuilding need to be about fantasy and elves?"Worldbuilding, as already stated above, and contrary to what many believe, does not inherently imply blatantly copying Tolkien. In fact, there are many science-fiction setting out there, and even entire alternative history settings which do not possess supernatural elements at all. Any kind of science fiction book has an implied setting at least, which involves a certain degree of worldbuilding put into it.Old thread: >>24970029
>>25016601Thread Questions:>In your setting, what is the major religion(s) present? What advice do you have for creating religions, including books and other resources on the topic or existing fictional religions done well?>Where did you look for ideas on the religion's name, religious garb, ceremonies/rituals, tenants, etc.? Are there any religions outside of the Judeo-Christianity umbrella that have good aspects for fictional religions, especially if they aren’t used as often as they should be?>How accurate is the religion to the actual reality of the setting? And if the god(s) of the setting actually exist in the world, how does this affect their faiths, and what needs to be remembered when making said gods and pantheons?>Where do you look for ideas/resources on creating the divinities of your settings? Are there any settings in particular that you feel do gods right?>Do your religions have Saints, Angels, Demons, and/or other important figures besides the actual gods? If so, what are they like, and how do they impact the religion?>Lastly, how much power does your religion have over the setting? And how do the people of your setting view the gods and religions?

He really was a much better writer than Dostoyevsky.
>>25015738Tolstoy’s favorite writer was Schopenhauer
>>25016743The obvious counterexample is Shakespeare whose characters speak and act in a genuine multiplicity of aims and desires, and who engage directly with their circumstances to grow and bring resolution to the given scenario while revealing profound exemplars or inverse cleansing of human character. Various forms of gossip and tripe, differentiated by their cases of church subordination could never compare.
>>25013112The thing with Tolstoy is that I always remember his stories and characters. I never read anything from him where it's in one ear and out the other, it stays with me permanently. I always think about the sexual dilemma of his story The Devil when I think about lust nowadays, I always think of how meek and pathetic Karenin is when he's afraid to confront the fact that his wife is cheating on him. Everything with Tolstoy is like a perfect mirror to our modern society and dilemmas.
>>25017100Lol. Shakespeare's contrived slop is just a rehash of some much more sincere and soulful source. But he layers enough verbal acrobatics and low-hanging dramatic devices like "madness" and death to imitate an artistic impression. Hamlet literally having two different ages might be called depth and complexity by some; others might call it bad writing. But who's to say :)
