In his 'Lectures on the Mind for Young Samurai', Mishima reflects on being called a nerd for his love of literature during the war.He argues that today's nerds use literature as a safety zone to hide from the real world.He distinguishes between two types of literature.The first, which he calls second-rate, is relatively harmless; it acts as a comforting teacher, offering simple moral lessons and inspiration to those who are struggling, giving hope to the heartbroken, teaching that money isn't everything to the poor, and comforting the weak.The true danger, he warns, comes from "real" literature. This first-rate writing reveals the frightful fate of humanity and teaches through beautiful and captivating prose "that in this life an irredeemable evil lurks at the bottom of human nature", leading the reader to a nihilistic precipice and abandoning them there without solace.The greatest problem arises when nerds who consume this powerful literature fall under the illusion that they arrived at its profound conclusions through their own effort.This creates a false sense of superiority, leading them to become cynics who mock all human effort, sincerity, and passion from a detached and powerless position.As a writer, Mishima knows this "poison of literature" intimately, and admits that he only found a partial antidote later in life through physical action.Comment too long.

>>24947151Too bad no one talented associates with you or else you could tell us about it.
>>24944969The mind can't be moved like that anymore. It's the 21st century.
>>24944475He died following his principles fighting for a world that could never be, while you cum on yourself lying alone in bed every night only to wake up still fat and gay and alone in the morning, believing in nothing.
it's pretty incredible that people still think that humanity as a species is benevolent even though we have destroyed over 70% of all wildlife on earth
Do Tolkiendrones realize that fantasy existed before Lord of the Rings and that it suffered greatly from Big Fat Fantasy and other sloppy derivatives that grew like viruses from Tolkien's wen? https://voca.ro/1Rwc7lMX0hfT
>>24948167That's the point tho, worldbuilding is something tolkien introduced. A fantasy detatched from tolkien's tropes would need no worldbuilding either, meaning it would have to return to the format of old fables where fantastical creatures and lands exist in the same world as ours.

Tolkien is a master and Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest pieces of fantasy literature of all time.

I just finished reading Journey to the West for a book report. holy shit Chinese books are awesome. Does anyone have the china /lit/ recommendations?
ching chong bing bong.
>>24947522>>24947530Is it worth to learning some Mandarin for Chinese literature? Chinese history and literature is very rich and the language doesn't have any irregular verbs, conjugation, and genders.
>>24947747Learning enough mandarin/classical chinese to fully enjoy and understand the nuances of chinese literature as well as a native (or better than a translator) is basically impossible.
>>24947749you can still get to the ezra pound level of understanding, which is not bad
>>24947530>>24947549how challenging do you think water margin is to a casual reader? been curious about that one for a long time. also I guess which of the 4 great classics there are the most accessible?
How do you learn to philosophize? I read philosophy books but i never learn to philosophize. I never learn to use those fancy words like epistomoleogoogy; i only learn what they kinda mean but i never have a sure feeling of it and have to look it up all the time. Is philosophy only for high iq people? I feel utterly lost so much so i don't even bother to talk about it with other people.
When i put my writings into GBT it says im a philosopher with interesting ideas
>>24946932honestly? i think it looks great. suits her.
>>24946020its a bell curve. Master of philosophy uses simple and concise words. Midwit philosophizer uses the thesaurus with veracity of someone being paid by the word. You need a direction. Are you contemplating society? What counter arguments can others bring and what is your answer to them? How does the idea translate into reality? Generally avoid stuff that requires/is build on accepting an unsubstantiated premise.
>>24946020According to chatbot soon to be overlord, GenZ likes Aquinas, Nietzsche, Marx, and Camus. Dosto also made it in there too. I can see why these guys are popular.Since you're still hung up on IQ I ask you to consult pic related. You don't have to leave grog. People will always tell you that you might be better there or worse there but you won't know for sure. If you make it to Wittgenstein you fully understand the everything is an accident from linguistic confusion thing and you can't know if you were better or worse off regardless of what anyone says so keep that in mind. Enjoy the midwit phase while you can. Once that passes you're stuck and the best you can manage is a flattening into grogstein.
>>24946020You need a foundation of grammar, logic and rhetoric. Those are the tools of thought which we have been denied. The great philosophers didn't just sit and make up everything, they had a classical education as foundation.https://libgen.li/edition.php?id=137170227https://youtu.be/AOcy6RHw7A8

>>24946956>Greyjoys are overshadowed by Harlaws, Goodbrothers and Drumms (by prestige)But if this is true, why do irontards follow the Greyjoys into another war when they already led them into an embarrassing defeat well within memory?
>>24947379Emphasis on the "tard", because Nagga chose a Grayjoy 300 years ago, and because most Ironborn lords are retards who want to rape and raid, and no Harlaw would take that initiative because they know better apparently.

>>24944836Faggot.
>>24944790no, it's shit
>>24946437In what way?
>>24946656There's a chapter that purposes to imitate Finnegans Wake. Of course, the chapter resembles Joyce's masterpiece in none of its beauty or greatness. And this is because Alan Moore's goal wasn't beauty or greatness, it was imitation.
>>24947498Yeah, I saw a short interview where he said "it's longer than the Bible! I've written it for ten years, it's enormous – not that quantity pretains to quality". He does seem to have written it purely for it to be the "thousand page long, dense, unforgettable novel".

I just learned about Samuel Delany's support for NAMBLA after being a massive fan of his work, particularly Dhalgren, for years. He made statements from the 1990s where he described their bulletin as promoting "sane thinking" on the age of consent and positioned them as a dissenting voice in the gay rights movement. I'm so disappointed.
Just ordered thisWhat am I getting into?
>>24946190I like the NRSV
>>24946167>and Jehoshaphat begat Lemuel who begat Erud who begat Aram who begat Samoch who begat Asraphal who begat Penuel who begatWow so beautiful and inspiring, let's turns to another passage>he shall take a sheep of the flock a year old, and a hin of oil and a kor of flour, and he shall make a cake of the oil and he shall make a cake of the oil ans flour, of choice flour, to dedicate to the LORD as an offering, and he shall slaughter and prepare the lamb and the thigh he shall place on the fire as a burnt offering, of a pleasing odour to the LORD, and the priests shall burn the entrails thereof as an offering, but the flesh ans the forelimbs they shall cook as their own portion (continues for 100 pages)Brilliant stuff, brings a tear to my eye
>>24947336>isn't everything after the gospels, maybe aside from revelation, just expository teachings OF the gospels?Uh no? Paul never read the gospels, wtf are you talking about.
>>24947413Paul did meet Jesus, though. That encounter is so important there are three references to it in the Acts of the Apostles alone (Acts 9, Acts 22, Acts 26). Paul's meeting with the glorified Christ is the most significant event in world history outside of the gospels themselves. Have you people even read this book?
>>24946190Based, it's wildly out of date. Use the NRSVue instead
I'm really enjoying this so far. Don't see ti mentioned here often (or ever?). The narration is great. It feels conspiratorial and ironic, like he is leaning over my shoulder and laughing with me at the vanity of these people. Where are the Stendhal enjoyers at?
>>24938995Just finished reading it last week, in French. Really enjoyed it.
My translation said julien sorel was of below average height, but I never hear anyone saying thatIs that not present in the original/nost translations?
>>24947720He is a twink bro, Narrator says so a dozen different times in the first part of the book. He is a pretty little twink and the french girls love him.
>>24947720>but I never hear anyone saying thatDo you really need someone to mention every aspect of a book? Fucking idiot.
>>24947720It's a Napoleon parallel
Why is it that all great minds of antiquity thought that love was more than a crude neurochemical reaction? Would they have been redpilled if they were alive after the 20th century when advancement in chemistry demonstrated that love/eros is basically just a powerful drug? Honestly explains many things about the current perception of love in relation to modernity.
>>24945804Men are waking up to the true nature of reality
>>24948073It is a thing in so far as it is a concept with the attributes I mentioned earlier. You would have to expand on what you mean by "a thing in itself". It is a feeling and a strategy, it is based on hormones and brain structures, but is apprehended by the consciousness as a thing of value. This can and is all rooted in material phenomenon with no need for recourse to anything supernatural.
>>24945804>Why is it that all great minds of antiquity thought that love was more than a crude neurochemical reaction?I don't think anyone actually thinks this. No, I don't care what academia or wordcels like >>24945823say or do, they are suffocated in their own little worlds.
>>24947584I have gooned to AI bots hundreds of times, and let me tell you that I can instinctually tell whatever algorithms forms languages that happen to correspond to my prompts is definitely not human in any shape or form.

>>24945709You'd be surprised how many muslim women have lost their 'anal virginity'. Its just a larp.
>>24945913Maybe 100 years ago, now unless they marry each other at 16 there is none. Even "trad" women won't veil>>24945916And that in an Islamic society would be lashings or death for Zina

My lust died the second I wrote the average feminine nature on paper and stratified it according to its moral nature. I am now convinced that the only thing you are supposed to do as a soul, as a man is to wrestle your own flesh into submission, find God and develop a prosperous and altruistic relationship with our creator in order to escape this prison. 99% of women are half humans with no souls, everything they strive for and enjoy is ultimately evil in its nature. The very core of femininity is absolute evil that seeks to devour good men with the same glee and joy youd get from stomping out some dorky kids sand castle.Once I realized why women are the way they are, it's like I've finally been enlightened as to why hermit monks become hermits in the first place. It's all a lie, its all a joke. This planet is a prison, women are archons who genuinely don't give a fuck about anything but they have to pretend to have interests beyond themselves just so men dont become suspicious and notice the huge disparity in the nature of each gender. It's not a complimentary nature, it's completely one-sided and parasitic. The entire role of women is to entrap a mans life force and pull another soul onto this false reality incarnation trap. Thats all they were designed to do. Satan takes a hold of their hivemind vessels with comedic ease and no resistance. They are all beyond corrupt, they fall apart once a month and endure pain unless they fulfill their ill-natured task. There is nothing in this world worth striving for besides Gods love. There is absolutely NOTHING in this world that is worth your place in heaven.
Is this actually poorly written, or is that just the thing where they try to bash him any way they can (small dick, missing testicle, secretly gay, etc.)
>>24946958vance is a totally irrelevant fatass queer with a dothead beard who raises her children to worship vishnu. a dog wouldnt follow him but he thinks he can be president. no idea what blormpf was promised in exchange for picking him up but its probably more like when tucker interviewed fuentes, blormpf thought he spoke for millennials

>>24942860>>24945451>>24946866I just skimmed through it right now and it seems more like a rant than anything. He also seems close-minded, in the sense that he's figured out everything in life and condensed his worldview to a black and white model. It's much more evident in his history of Europe in the 1800's than it is with his hatred of the Jews. He just doesn't seem to understand his own history, or just understands it poorly.
>>24942860Rudolf Hess was his stenographer (most cosmopolitan of the inner circle, raised in Egypt, 5x languages). It likely owes much to Hess' editorial hand, or lack thereof as far as the conversational structure goes. The intended mass readership practically guaranteed something anodyne at best.
