How do you actually overcome post-modernism?
>>24948572Just don't think about it.
>>24948572Postmodernism literally gives conservatives an excuse to act like African niggers and retvrn, (moral relativism) but they rejected it for aesthetic purposes, just because the people who invented it were faggots in France with a BBC fetish.
>>24948572The hidden irony is that this thread beautifully illustrates why post modernism is the ultimate truth. Different perspectives, lack of objectivity etc… all right here in this thread.
>>24948572You accept the lessons it is trying to teach you. That your concepts and representations are inherently imprecise and goal-driven... which is fine, since you will rarely (if ever) exercise pointless thought. Post-modern thought contains a lot of humility that got perverted over time. It is, to use JP's language, a valid "anti-dote" to logical positivism and modernism (duh) which would tell you that knowing a handful of logical laws grants you the keys to understand the ontology of the entire cosmos. In actuality we're just hyper-fixating on propositional representations. And postmodernism is showing us a way out. Often destructive, often perverted, but it's a step in the right direction. Models must give way to reality and too many people confuse theory and reality.
thinking back to when I had some respect for Peterstein is weird
>can't win over blacks>can't win over poorfags>outright enemies of blue collar workers>not taken seriously/ seen as useful idiots by their intellectually inferior middle class liberal pragmatic allies >can't/won't win over the armed forces>can't/won't win over the intelligence agencies>can't/won't win over the politicians>decent success rate with middle class children (dropped by junior yr), academics, homosexuals and trannys.Is there a book which explains how this leads to revolutionary success or should i just see all the le-science-of-hisory 2-more-weeksism from the past 200 years?
>>24950906How does Lenin get away with writing such banger books? I guess future communism will simply be the third world struggling for power until the struggle finally goes global
>>24951342You all took this as an excuse to debate communism as a theory.I'm asking about the practical marketing strategy as a movement, which no longer seems designed no to pick up the teaming masses of have-nots and win via numbers.Instead, it is catered to picking up the members of the various protected classes (truly protected , not just "we're with you!") in society and stringing them into a loose situational financially/numerically inferior alliance with no prospect of victory democratically/militarily.
Marxism has become too intertwined with third worldism and African terrorists to be appealing to the average white man.
>>24950477In places where communism is tied to some kind of ethnic or national identity, (Russia, postcolonial nations) chuds love it and libtards hate it. Honestly that just disproves communism even more, showing that tribe is far more important to people than class.
I have lots of Marxist/Anarchist books on my reading list but they're all so expensive.
>What makes you think you're good enough to write a book?
>>24951201Writing a book is a laborious exercise.To dedicate the effort, one must believe that it is worthwhile. Even if he leaves the final verdict to the reader.
>>24948669Wizard's First Rule being made into Legend of the Seeker forever convinced me that "good enough" doesn't matter.
>>24948669I've been at least half decent at almost everything I've ever tried. Basically, I'm not a retard.
>>24948669anons were talking about a short sentence, and how they couldn't purple/extend it poetically. I proffered my take on it, and everyone liked it. Two said "I'm using that!", that's when I knew I should be writing.
>>24948669I wanna do my part.

The dregs of society pool together like the dirty puddles they tromp. Dublin is their city. Dubh Linn. Black Pool. The name evokes images of heroin rolling on foil. The Spire watches high over O'Connell Street, a lantern above the oily slick roads, taxis and buses rolling through them, like a needle penetrating the veiny patchwork streets.

"Cartel" - Julio Cortazar-I see the world as chaos, and at its center a rose. I see the rose as the happy eye of beauty, and at its center the worm. I see the worm as a fragment of immense life, and at its center death. I see death as the flame of nothingness, and at its center hope. I see hope as a stained-glass window singing at midday, and at its center man.

>>24951435Numbers should go up to 10 at most, with each level actually being individually recognizable in some way---at least for some of the skills. Some skills could evolve, making it an effective level 20, but keep that to a minimum.I really liked how 'So I'm a Spider, So What?' did it for some skills, especially the "Identify" skill. Each level brought a little something; the walls had more text, some new things popped up in the HUD, etc hence adding more lore. Each magic level gave a new spell.

>>24951332Audio can cripple many of these. For such thin volumes they can have a ton of illustrations and graphs. They are not described in audio. Really depends on the content.
>>24951220These short introduction books are awful. Even as introductions they fail. Wikipedia is better, and wikipedia is a festering pile of shit and falsehoods.

75k words and I am done. But without another set of eyes, I am stuck at what I can do.

>>24951059Looks great. Thanks for sharing. It can be read with google translate. The translation doesn't seem perfect but if you look at both the original and the translation even without knowing Portuguese you can sometimes guess what's going on. For example it translated "menina" to "little girl" which is confusing but when you see that it's one word in Portuguese it makes more sense.https://archive.org/details/paulo-roacutenai-curso-basico-de-latim-gradus-primusIt looks a little similar to these:https://archive.org/details/latinfortodayfir0000grayhttps://archive.org/details/Latin_method_Most_1stYearOxford Latin CourseCambridge Latin Coursebut maybe simpler and more succinct, which I like, so it's maybe better in my opinion.I like reading language textbooks in other languages, because you learn two languages at once.

Every time I spend time focusing on extensive reading I feel like I make dramatic jumps in ability to just read a paragraph and lose a substantial amount of memorized grammar entirely, but the grammar becomes much easier to relearn. Very much a 2 steps forward, 1 step back feeling.

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.
>>24945804Two reasons:One, they didn't use "love" in the sense of mere infatuation, as we so often do. Love (and hate) were used also as general categories of action. Which is why the Bible at the same time says you must love your wife (care for her, protect her, emotional presence) and also hate her (not choose her over the Kingdom). But the second, and more important reason, is that they didn't usually fall for the reductionist fallacy. The words you're reading right now are made of flickering pixels. Are they "just" flickering pixels? Well no, they are also references to meaning, they are units of syntax, they have aesthetic value ... none of this is addressed by evaluating pixels as the words' immediate physical form. Because physical evaluation is reductive. And as useful as it is, a reduction by definition doesn't address the entirety of a phenomenon. It is a silent hope of materialists that we at some point will create a formula that will physically address also aesthetics and history and etymology etc. but nothing really warrants this hope at this point. So your view of love hinges on the unwarranted use of "just" in >basically just a powerful drugIf you read the studies you're referencing carefully, you will not find any rational reason for including it. You will only find that within a particular framework, the reduction is done so and so.
>>24946530>I was pretty much living out that book when my 20's started. I met her in college and I just knew she was different from everyone else and precious when I heard her speak.I'm older, pushing 60 actually. Love, and however you define it... its as "real" as you hold it to be, its as real as you make it out to be. Chemicals now understood or magic as the ancients held it to be, its the same thing. You get one look, one sniff of the scent of a person and your heart rate goes up. If they feel it back, it really might as well be magic. I lived this for about 28 years before modern life ruined our relationship and ripped it asunder, we had a good run. Why care where such a powerful thing comes from just enjoy it while it lasts. The old timers told us, didn;t they. Romantic love fades but never dies. Make sure you're best friends as well as lovers to make that transition to real life. There's nothing finer to possess in this world, than that ephemeral love. And that's as long as you have it.
