Because political extremism is often the byproduct of mental escapism caused by lack of social interactions and prolonged sexual deprivation. The moment niggerman got a whiff of poon, he did a 180 and started to write to Howard about how childish he was.

There is a fascinating, digressive chapter in Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris about how architecture was once the main form of expression of human thought and how the invention of the printing press put an end to this.Are there any other books about this topic? The intersection of philosophy and architecture? And was Hugo even correct?
>>24947730Without the excuse of religion i do feel we tend to build very little of the kind of monumental architecture where the whole space can be made subservient to a single concept. Skyscrapers are neat but ultimately as aesthetic statements they are often kind of bland, their insides homogeneous office floors. Very little going on there conceptually outside of 'hehe tall' The kind of buildings architects now usually use to express their grand masterpieces are musea, opera houses, libraries, or other large freestanding public buildings, although even these rarely have the pure monumentality of religious buildings since they still need to be functional spaces.
>>24947730That's because the meme of SOULLESS and UGLY new buildings aren't referring to chinese skyscrapers.
Architecture used to mean something, post modernism destroyed it as it destroys everything though.
>>24945477My dad is an architect; I'll tell him about this.
>>24947754>>24949464We still very much do build monumental architecture, countries even waste more money than is needed for building a structure that's essentially temporary (the Olympic stadiums for an example). The thing is outside of shitty third world nations, our great architectures are no longer religious sites. For one, religion is no longer the center worldview & cultural glue for most people in the world. And second, the world is globalized now so building a religious structure will alienate many people. Instead we build monumental architecture for something more universal & inclusive to all nations like museums, sports stadiums, or theatres.In case any anons wondering what the buildings in the pic are>Louvre Pyramid>Beijing Bird's Nest>Sydney Opera House>Museum of the Future

35k word of my first draft. Life's good. I am writing chapter 21 of it as we speak. I expect 27 or 29 chapters, so I am almost done with the first draft.
I've got 50k words down and I'm probs not even a third done. It's fun but I know I'm gonna need to write another draft which is kind of disheartening

How do you actually overcome post-modernism?
>>24948591Its a religion
>>24949037You don't know any Christian nationalists
>>24948572I mean, there is no “overcoming” postmodernity because every form of resistance or escape is reincorporated back into the system as a kitsche regress into one dated fantasy or another. There are no new solutions because all horizons of possibility are accounted for, all we can do is play in the rubble of civilisation.

Overrated or deserving of praise?
>>24949021He's just a blowhard. You can do the same thing by believing every thought in your head deserves to be heard.
>>24948849The only short stories I read of him are his magnum opus and "Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman, the latter I didn't like. I can't say whether or not he's overrated but he definitely deserves some praise for his cultural impact. He's an interesting person to listen to for being a lone Jew from Ohio. His take on Israel and the greater ME is interesting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6gtHQGbXmM
>>24949750>both sides are badHe didn't need to tell a 7 minute story to say that
>>24949764He questions the lineage of Jews today and insinuates that they, along with the rest of the inhabitants of the ME, are subhumans who can only kill each other and that the rest of the world needs to forget about them and stop trying to intervene.
>>24949750I actually quite liked Repent, Harlequin. It was a funny satirical story, it’s a pretty basic “authoritarianism mad mmkay?” kind of story but his writing style is entertaining.

>>24945551He didn't even actually believe in God or the divinity of Jesus Christ, all just metaphorical Geist movement and mutual recognition shenanigans with him
>>24949187>It was much later when I realized that Kierkegaard’s conception of the Christian condition actually makes Christianity quite appealing as Jesus Christ is not a reincarnation of God, but God Himself and knew what it was to be human and be tempted as He lived on earth.That's literally just the default Christian position, anon. That is Christianity.>Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
>>24945026>>24947525St. Augustine's Confessions was also key for me. Compared to any modern reading, this book is a breath of fresh air. It's my treasure. I shift through it again once every year. It's a paraphrased quote by him that we must put "faith before reason." This sounds crazy to an intellectual person, I know, but once we choose to believe, all the correct, good and true reasons will be revealed to us as God sees fit. He doesn't want us to be unreasoning beasts, of course not, but He does ask faith from us and that we will ourselves to believe. Pray first for faith and then everything else will simply follow. This is the leap of faith that most of all is a stumbling stone for those who value reason above all. Put faith before your reason. God bless anons.
>>24947628Thank you. It's unlikely he'll listen, but somebody needs to state some facts. The sola scriptura kind gives Christians a bad name, unfortunately. It's unintellectual and also unhistorical.

>>24948777ah ok, in that case the meaning should be the same it's a matter of style basically, attraction shines more in other examples where the relative clause would effectively lead to a more clunky constructione.g>ἐναντία λέγων τοῖς (λόγοις) οὕς ἄρτι ὡμολογήσαμενvs>ἐναντία λέγων οἷς ἄρτι ὡμολογήσαμενin your case it's less clear indeed why one would prefer it to the more linear construction, but you should expect such phenomena
>>24948866p.s. if one really gets into it, IIRC there are some "deeper" rules about when attraction ought to take place based on observed frequency, but especially as beginner imho it's not worth it to delve too much into it, only to know that it can happen and there's a hierarchy e.g accusative attracted to genitive and dative, dative to genitive, and such
>>24948866ok I see now. thanks anon

There is so much confusion on this board, on 4chan and within our world in general about psychology and this man. His fundamental insight is that you, I, and every truly human subject that will ever exist "Lack" in someway meaning they feel incomplete or are missing something that someone or everyone else has. This can only even be temporarily fulfilled. This manifests itself in millions of ways, but once you understand this, psychoanalysis becomes a lot easier to understand. Of course, this isn't nearly all of Lacan, but its the lynchpin. You feel lack, your mother feels lack, the hobbo down street feels lack and most importantly, the cheerleader or jock at your high school feels lack in some way.

>>24947804>His fundamental insight is that you, I, and every truly human subject that will ever exist "Lack" in someway meaning they feel incomplete or are missing something that someone or everyone else has. This can only even be temporarily fulfilled.That is not an insight. It's something every five year old discovers. I will know to ignore everything from this charlatan in the future.
I don't doubt that it's true, but I don't see how it's novel or meaningful.
>>24947804>You feel lack, your mother feels lack, the hobbo down street feels lack and most importantly, the cheerleader or jock at your high school feels lack in some way.Lacan explicitly states that it is not lack of this-or-that, but the lack of being itself. Ultimately I side with D&G: a notion of desire as lack fails to capture the creative potential of desire, ie. desiring-production. To say that the structure of desire inhibits its own fulfilment is to confine desire within the Oedipal double-bind. Lack isn’t “lack of being”, it’s a productive negativity, a positively charged void from which incredible things can emerge. Without it, nothing would even happen.
who up lacking they can
Any books where a comfortable loser with weak character turns it around, and not just by luck? Basically opposite of picrel?
Any serious book that talks about the cult of ugliness of the modern world? The toxic positivity, the cacophony of clashing aesthetics, the laziness, and the deliberate effort to undermine purity, all masked by so-called moral virtues or freedom? Looking at any vintage photo of a poor street, you see beauty in its uniformity -- much like the beauty found in a military parade. Yet now, even in the wealthiest streets, the only remaining beauty of the modern world can be found by gazing up at buildings that were constructed centuries ago, and that are all getting replaced.
