>tfw i could genuinely be the next great american writer but my thoughts are to complex to adequately transcribe.i wonder how many great thinkers throughout history have been lost due to this... plato was right, "writing" is gay
>>24954827MASSIVE Dunning-Kruger on display. No one is ever 'too' intelligent to express their thoughts, they're just not intelligent enough to articulate themselves, or too afraid to see the triteness and unoriginality of their thoughts laid bare in the reality of words. It is much easier to seek comfort in the fantasies of a Puer aeternus complex. God knows how few people possess true literary cultivation in the world today, there's no excuse for downplaying its merit.
>>24953708I think adflat can only refer to Phoebus unless you think Daphne has craned her breath round her neck to creep on herself, retard.
>>24954804Cervicibus isn't the object of adflat here, crinem is.
>>24954816Yes, that doesn't make the verbs of the sentence about Daphne either. It's bizarre you think the dative case makes the word for nape suddenly the person referred to by the verbs. It's literally not how sentences or parts of speech work. You're literally too retarded to be a first year student of Latin who is 12.
>>24954816It's the indirect recepitient, lol why do you think it's dative with ad-? Lol wtf
>>24954756Lol it takes a lot of autism to try to fake knowing Latin on the first story in metamorphoses because Ovid's Phoebus& Daphne is basically babby's first latin translation
>I dreamed I saw St. Augustine>Alive as you or me>Tearing through these quarters>In the utmost misery>With a blanket underneath his arm>And a coat of solid gold>Searching for the very souls>Whom already have been sold
>tfw actually had a weird mystical experience once with Augustine, John Chrysostom, and Therese of Lisieux
>>24954556Care to describe it, Anon?
>>24954549Can't believe they gave this retard a literary award for this substandard poetry
How are you supposed to write multiple characters without all of them sounding the same, or sounding like yourself
Make up exaggerated qualities for your characters. Loud, abrasive, quiet, a cunt, genius, retarded, people pleaser, loveable, fair, unjust, gluttonous, etc.Then, be subtle as you're writing, but always be thinking: "This guy is an asshole but fair, what would he do/say in this situation". After a while he sort of becomes a part of you and the words flow effortlessly.
>>24954674How about meeting people in real life, you shut-in.
>>24954674they are so cool...
>>24954674straight outta silicon valley
Make character sheets. Also every man out there is made of contradictions, so it shouldn't be that hard to come up with different personalities based on yours
What does Kant mean by achtung (IDK what the word for it is in english desu), to regard? What does he mean that you should... heed, attention, the law? OR rather the law he builds up with the hypothetical imperative. Secondly: what does Kant mean that the law is done through duty rather than love?
Which one is his best?

Factotum >>24952336Great movie, great cast (Charlie's mom from it's always sunny is one of the barflies) but Rourke's Chinaski is very uhh.. well I don't think it's what Buk had in mind. Great performance, but he does his own thing with the character.
>>24952328Pulp. You can tell the man had fun writing it.
>>24952328Ive read most of his novels/stories and many of his poems, and I think Ham on Rye is his best work overall
>>24953240Someone told me about a letter or a poem, in which he glorified his mistress' ass hairs. or something of that sort.Is that true?If it is, then where can I read it?

>>24953444Topkek. This. I have never seen anyone discuss most books on this list. The most popular threads are usually /adv/ adjacent questions.
>>24953453>most of these books are mentioned or talked about at least from time to time.Barely and when they do its never the content in question. Its always shitflinging and derivative nonsense.
Add:Catch-22 - Joseph HellerFahrenheit - by Ray BradburyThe Red Badge of Courage - Stephen Crane

Mention here literature according to /lit/ suitable to matriculate as a real /x/-ian. Or if /x/ was /lit/ cohorts first.
Has there ever been a /lit/ version of Incantation?Whether it be fiction or actual occult texts
>>24954283add Charles Upton to this
>>24951427erm can't it be explained that the gods are friends with the awesome occultists that's why they can bring down the moon and induce storms--answer that hippopotamus
>>24954463Didn't know about this guy, seems related to the traditionalists too? Good rec anon. Thanks.

>Harry Potter's mom fell in love with the school bullyWhat did Rowling mean by this?

And more importantly, what did Rowling mean by THIS?

>>24952794I thought it was awful. The characters are so generic and they never grow as the books continue. Also the ending is a big anticlimax.
What are some good sffg series with popular, well-received endings?
>>24954744Lord of the Rings of course
>>24954744Say what you like about the entire series and Sanderson but the WoT ending was rated highly by most people.
>>24953933It's good. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it ends in a bit of a "to be continued..." way, but I'm looking forward to the sequel.
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...
>>24953779It depends. After a certain point, absolutely math is not abstract. And my intuition tells me all the money made off abstract maths is funded by taxdollars and universities, or makes no money at all
>>24952785Retard. The money thrown from the "abstract knowledge" is taken from theirs, not yours. This reason is prepared from those very people's impulses that you take. But I doubt you have the reading comprehension to understand what I just said.
>>24952773What are you talking about? The act of knowledge labor definitely involves "abstract knowledge sharing" to varying degrees. I get the feeling that you don't really understand what a commodity is though, because in order to exchange this knowledge sharing for money you have to make a commodity out of it.
>>24952773>I think it's impossible to make money off of sharing abstract knowledge. Can you prove me wrong?You mean like a university professor?
>>24953585>>24953765>>24953779>>24953789you've both got the value of abstract opposed to some other value but neither of you knows what the other's oppositional value actually is, so you're just shadowboxing over the meaning of "abstract" defined negatively against terms that don't intersect at all potentially. quite interesting to watch. one of you seems to oppose abstract labor to quantifiable value contributions, the other seems to oppose abstract to falsifiable facts. neither opposes it to concrete, though you would probably group the things you DO oppose it to under the concrete as a theme.

>>24954772Its a psyop, everything is a psyop
>>24954784time to kill women
>>24954769the average 400lb latinx woman will have more romance and partners than a 5'11 man with a good job, this is why i dont care about ZOG, palestine, or anything when even Hamas is gynocentric and most religions even Islam outside of afghanistan now pander to women and put women as higher than men when infact theyre basically should be slaves

I've noticed that a lot of sophist philosophizing is based around this concept of "nonexistence". But it seems obvious that "nonexistence" just isn't a real thing right?How can something exist that by its own definition does not exist? It's just a nonsense idea made up of circular reasoning. There cannot exist a thing that doesn't exist. Everything that exists exists and there is nothing else. Existence by definition is an all encompassing concept. You can't logically accept that things exist and then turn around and say there are things that don't.And logically the concept of nonexistence is already nonsensical but if you believe in determinism the idea really just gets defeated many times over.
>>24953075Another sad case of hegelgegger madness. Get well soon, anon.
>>24953393such a smart boy you are!
>>24953063>Time machines it exists as a concept not as a real thing the idea of non existence also exists as a concept and not physical
>>24951290What's the underlying sameness between the two states of meat? What can we say about the process that links meat in one snapshot and the link in the other snapshot? What makes one story more cogent than another story? e.g. "I applied a certain amount of heat to raw meat, which caused a chemical reaction to its tissues that makes it more a palatable" versus "I did a magical ritual, and that meat just... did that... and now I can eat it."
>>24951290counter-point: raw and cooked are names of types of meat
Cavaliers vs Roundheads, who had the better literature? I admit the Cavaliers have a larger amount of great writers, but Milton and Marvell for the Roundheads is a nigh unbeatable combo.
Fuck this stupid board. Retards can't even discuss 17th century literature. Bunch of poseurs.
