>>24854282the greeks of course
>>24854282Is there a guide where I can just insult people using Nietzsche quotes calling them slaves, etc, but don't have to read all those books to find them myself? sv2dgx
Can rap lyrics be /lit/?
Is there any rapper more /lit/?
>>24854722I give you an E for EffortWTF rhymes with Effort
>>24855145I just looked it up, absolutely fucking nothing
>>24850728Kek. Where does he do this? It's one of those 'literary' opinions parroted by people who don't know what that means. In The Way I Am, he employs use of anapests, not iambs, but normies can't differentiate the two. This tactic is then borrowed from earl sweatshirt on Mac Miller's "Faces V.2." Not the only time earl steals from eminem though. On his breakout song, earl, he also lifts more than a few ideas from Eminem's Tim Westwood freestyle.
>>24854986YesI'll be writing till I'm dead or maybe till I'm aliveAll the emptiness I've bled has only helped me surviveSomething melted inside when the tones hit my pulseAnd stifled the idle eagerness to grow into my clothesNo one that I know is any longer good at actin'Like they comprehend the motive uncoated to feed the corroded passionAction needs to stay eye level with the restThat's the least I deserve for the love that I've shedI've trudged through the sediment in search of the rhythmDove soul first to bathe nude in its abyssPaid dues and made music my religionNow I listen, close my eyes, and forget I even existComment too long.

>What's in my left pocket?
>>24852193I don't know who jizzed in your pockets but it wasn't me.
>>24852197BASED
A hole.
>>24854513Saved this one, fucking LMAO.

>writes a juvenile book with simple black and white morality for children>filled with plotholes>bad guys are all cartoonishly evil and have no redeeming features>80 years later manchildren still think he's a geniusIs he the biggest hack to ever hack? Being an adult fan of Tolkien is the easiest way to tell someone is low IQ.
the funniest thing is OP seems to take most issue with bad guys being bad guys and good guys being good guys.OP is clearly a bad guy
>>24846804To be fair, he only really "hated" the Americans that lacked the IQ or literacy to comprehend the point of his stories. They turned his works (after blatantly stealing them with copyright loopholes) into cheap slogans and tied them to modern day, new-age garbage spirituality and american politics like the vietnam war. Add in the mountain of escapist, high-fantasy schlock escapist fans that obsess over aesthetics and you get a recipe for terrible reception. Any competent and serious writer would have been revolted if their work was received and parroted the way Americans do LOTR.
>>24849251>Homer didn't spend intricate hours making made up languages and a deep history for his made up races he just told very dramatically about the history of his people under a mythological and dramatic lensCan you really not see the obvious grounds for comparison between this and a work made by a man specifically drawing upon numerous epics and so on for a project where he was specifically constructing a fictional "history of the people under a mythological and dramatic lens" because he perceived his own immediate culture as lacking one that was specifically their own and thus working to construct one.Like that's actually a super relevant comparison, and I don't even fucking like Tolkien if I'm honest.
>>24846804based>>24849229Also kek
It's not allegory. It is a myth for the English.As a feat of imagination, Tolkien's mythos is unparalleled.Midwits and psueds can yap all they like.
>Isn't it strange that modern physics embraces process over substance but our metaphysics doesn't?>Hmm I guess you're right Whitehead.>Alright so everything is conscious and has free will, occasions are the real actors in everything, every moment anywhere influences every other thing that occurs and objects absorb every piece of data from anything they interact with. Uh what?
Sounds like Leibniz
Ex nihilo nihil fit
>>24854598Because it Is, withehead was really influenced by Leibniz concept of monads
>>24854880Real talk what the fuck was up with that entire era of philosophy and devolving into nonsense esotericism and pseudo-religions rather than any actual philosophic considerations of the human condition. Were were seriously just out of fucking ideas at that point without going into "what if I just make some fucking shit up about arbitrary mystic beings that might as well be faeries or some shit." territory?
>>24855044They weren’t even in the same era
>peak>mid>slop>crash out>unaliveWhat the hell is up with modern speech turning into newspeak straight out of 1984? The word "ungood" genuinely wouldn't look too out of place with all the neologisms I just listed.
>>24852082Not reading all of that cope, lil' nigga. Sorry you had to type all of that out just for it to be ultimately ignored.
>>24852943>returns to the thread 5 hours later specifically to reply to a post that he "ignored"what a life
ESL thread, only explanation for the utter, disgusting ignorance here and people not knowing about common vocabulary like "slop" and thinking 4chan invented it. I'm surrounded by drooling imbeciles.
>>24850309>1984Bruh
>>24852408Kek
it's like this guy grew two extra cocks just so that he could rape hegel, kant, and heidegger simultaneously while writing this
>>24854336Wtf Adorno was a Chad?
>>24854223most jüdisch post all year round
>>24854870Yup.Someone should make a "Chad Adorno VS Virgin Benjamin" picture.
>Kant and hegel are wrong because it led to the holocaustYeah, that's not strong enough an argument for me, Mr Scheckelberg.
>>24855094>[reductionist strawman]>[antisemitic trope]

I can't believe Dick Cheney is fucking deadHeaven has gained another angel...
>>24855150o shi fr? rip
>>24855136It was the last day before summer break, and we were having sex. Poor girl had been enthusiastic at giving blowjobs but was truly horrible at it, and I had always great trouble cumming with her mouth, so I had trained myself to tighten and relax my penis during her blowjobs and force myself to cum. This night, I had particular difficulty cumming with her mouth, I'm trying the tightening relaxing thing with my dick but it's barely working. Half an hour goes by, and I'm suffering. Then finally I relax a bit too hard and i ejaculate. I'm relieved and she's a little quiet. Later we both discuss it and realize it was piss not cum.We broke up a month after summer began for un piss in mouth reasons

I'll start with an obvious one. Great read.
>>24845551What is there still to do in set theory?
>>24854780you don't know what you don't know.
>>24854817Answer the question.
>>24854866you wouldn't understand the answer.
>>24848528I own that.I'd also suggest American Hardcore by Steven Blush and Choosing Death by Albert Mudrian

i used to read Das Kapital in a hookah lounge in a performative way to look more intelligent, but nobody cared, and when i told this hot girl that i'm in the Party for Socialism and Liberation, she rolled her eyes at me
>>24855104>hot girl that i'm in the Party for Socialism and Liberation, she rolled her eyes at meDamn the overton window shifted. What do zoomer women respond to?
>>24855109>What do zoomer women respond to?a baggy of ketamine
>>24855118Only done coke and mdma out of curiosity. How does ketamine feel?
>>24855124It's a bizarre experience. Very trippy. Imagine your whole life was trapped inside of a snow globe. Every thought, every memory, every belief, every experience. All inside of a tiny snow globe. Ketamine allows you to "zoom out" and see the snow globe of your life from the outside.Then imagine the world gets split between Heaven and Hell, or Life and Death, if you prefer. Ketamine drives a wedge between your reality so you can see the world in either direction. You can feel the joys of living (Heaven), or the stagnation of dying (Hell). Feels like a near-death experience. You lose your memory and all sense of time, existing only in the present moment.It's also the most immersion-enhancing drug out there for that reason. It can make you feel like you're actively experiencing a video you're watching. Or that you're actually living inside of the video game you're playing.
Do you think there's a difference between a handwritten journal and a typed one?
>>24854995Same small difference as me to moon.
>>24854995>journal Mhm gay
>>24854995One is readable
>>24854995Pasting from the clipboard is easier in my typed journals
Why not roll up an infinitely tall hill?
>>24852473Because we don't have infinitely long lives before we die.
>>24852473In reality we have no choice.You either suffer, or delude yourself into some masochistic trance to where your suffering is enjoyable. Existential stockholme syndrome.
Infinite hill>always new part of hill>making progress always even if there is no end>no defeat just eternal stalemateRepeat>same hill always, no new novel scenery >no progress always back to 0>you almost make it to the top then fail. This is losing just about as you were about to win and reach the top you failIt's not a never ending task. It's an unwinnable task.
>>24854832Life feels like eternity though.So make the most of it.
>>24854873At what point will the ball just roll down eternally?Is that the point where Sisyphus is a god?
Why do you hate Stephen King so much? He writes some mediocre books, yet /lit/ hates him for some reason.
1. he is a boomer2. he is a libtard3. he cant write endingsi think these are valid criticisms of him.also guy loooooooooves the magical negro trope
>>24855154oh yeah also wow, the main character is a writer, how orginal steve
>>24855072Op asked why do we hate him
>>24855117Also kek at you using reddit formatting for italics and telling someone to get off /lit/
>>24853366horror is a very specific type of genre fiction, the genre fiction lit likes is fantasy and scifi.Horror writing as genre fiction is underrated anyways clive barker > king
So I finally got around to reading this book and I must say, it's a pretty good apolitical introduction to the history of migration. I came out believing the same thing I did coming in, that we humans are a nomadic species and migration is a fact of life. The right to roam shall not be infringed, chuds.
>>24850210>great migration>great replacement???
>>24853281Yes, these migration crises are being implemented by the Davos crowd, for both cheap labor and social divisions that will, they hope, cause a civil war and not a revolution against them.We should replace them
>>24853314oceanofpdf is great I just got that book>otherwisehis concepts are flawedsocietal gubbmit is like a larger version of a family with pops in charge
>>24850210>mass migration is le goodimagine being this retarded
