>>24689322How many more years of youth do I have left to wait my turn?
>>24689403>>24689432You may have to settle for becoming famous after you're dead. A lot of great writers had to settle for that. Herman Melville, Franz Kafka, Mervyn Peake, and Philip K. Dick, to name a few.
>>24689508I'd rather not be famous, I want my work to be famous.
>>24689508The darkness of the afterlife is all that awaits you now. May you find more peace in that world than you found in this one.
>>24689512That's pretty much how it is when your work becomes more appreciated after you die.>>24689514Nah, I got lots more to write before I vacate this mortal coil. Gotta leave a potential legacy for my younger relations, after all! Maybe they'll figure out how to sell it, or maybe it'll be easier once my work is not so stupidly ahead of its time.
I already read picrel and it was very disappointing. It got banned in Germany somehow, but is actually not that incredible.Are there other books that will get TikTok femoids seething?
>>24689076>It got banned in Germany somehowit didn't?>>24689153yeah almost as bad as people who simply believe everything they read on the internet

>>24689499anon... i... i'm too tired to deal with people like you. please insult yourself and then leave
Read the culture of critique (atleast the last book)
>>24689523What makes it cancelled?
If God is truly infinite and transcendent, can the finite human mind ever comprehend God's nature, or are all our concepts and descriptions merely inadequate metaphors?
it is if you say it is and it is not if you do not
>>24687721God gave you the tools (the wisdom) to understand what is necessary. You don't need to understand everything, that's simply not of this realm.
>>24688916ThisWe aren't meant to know everything, only what we can know
>>24687721Via negativa

Hello, I've come up with a system, but I'm not in the academia of philosophy, what should I do to "post" my writing and let it be known that some things are this way? I want to specifically be remembered for my works, even if as a small little guy.
Strip naked in the public square and loudly recite your thesis while masturbating furiously
>>24688119send in your philosophical work together with a pipe bomb to academia in minecraft
first step you need a good name, it needs to be able to withstand -ism'ing. second step you need to become a master provocateur, you need to make controversy your oxygen. third step you release your book and make sure it ends on some kind of cliffhanger.
Shooter manifesto...tried and true method
>>24688119Self publish it as a book then go get into a bunch of internet debates over it.
The wealth of a rich man is his fortress;The poverty of the poor is his ruin.How to become rich anons?
>>24687557>For what great matter is it for the Gentiles to share their material wealth with the Jews; if the Jews have shared so generously their spiritual wealth with the Gentiles?
>>24689336The Macedonians gave willingly, that statement isn't to be taken the way you've intended
>>24687557>>24688244>>24689281>>24689294>>24689298Holy fucking slave morality. What happened to this board? You edgelords decided to LARP as trad Cathlodox and unironic Stoics and Platonists so hard that you actually became full on memes denying 500 years of philosophical progress. Morality has been deboonked. You can either become an empiricist eliminativist bugman or a Nietzchean hyperchad or an ascended post-structuralist, but becoming an unironic Platotroon is embarrassing. You do realize that the people who actually developed this philosophy were almost universally homeless, penniless, virgins, right? That's why they all look like bearded wizards. Some of them legit lived in caves.
>>24689381>philosophical progressspook
>>24689369oh, so I should give up my spiritual treasures because the moths or whatever, but the jews should get to have all my treasures? of course they did it willingly, because they were duped by a jew grift. the context surrounding it doesnt make it any better
Anyone who has any personal experience with predator animals knows that they experience far more pleasure from eating than we can understand. And their pleasure would be compounded if they were famished. And anyone who has experience with animals of prey knows they don’t have much individualist pain, their main source of pain is fear. And that pain ends when they did.More critically, Schopenhauer seems to totally misunderstand what pain *is*. Some women enjoy pain because it makes them feel submissive (anyone who has had sex with a few knows a lot love being slapped and choked). And many men take a spiritual or cultural interest in pain. The Mawé subject to themselves to more pain than most of us ever experience in a lifetime, as part if a boy’s coming of age The fact is that Schopenhauer’s idea of suffering is extremely modern. The anguish of life that the Greek pessimists focused on wasn’t physical pain, and with the sorts of plagues, torture, battle disabilities and infirmity they had then, you would think they would have. Oedipus rips his own eyeballs out as an expressing of anguish, which must have been a lot more physically painful than fucking his mother no matter how tight she wastl;dr the qualitative experience of physical pain today is much worse to us than it was to humanity in the past, let alone to how animals experience it
Quit reading this rubbish and come home.
>>24689506I only read Instagram posts by amateur models who have monetized their account
>be me>older bro>work my ass off>younger bro blows cash>dad throws him a parade>me? nothinghow do you respond without sounding mad?
>>24689482The bible contains a number of narratives that have absolutely no moral value whatever, or plainly convey the opposite of real moral truth. It's remarkable how many have been duped by it, and this proves a certain disgusting servility in the human condition.
Can I still take something out of literature or should I stick to video gamesAlso, what's yours?https://mensa.dk/iqtest/
I got 113. It’s over for me
Got 133 but I had to take a shit in the middle of it. I think got 136 in a proper test in person, 122 on the verbal IQ and 147 spatial.
I will hijack this thread. My IQ is 117, a midwit by all standards. I know with this, I will never accomplish anything meaningful, but at the same time I live in a country where the mean IQ is 83. I'm incapable of connect with the average person here. I'm too stupid to rise above and find success, but too smart to simply live normally among others. What can I do? I thought of immigrating to a rich country but at the end of the day I would only pollute it with my brownness and feel inadequate about myself.
>>24689022>What can I do?Whatever you want. I prefer escaping into literature and vidya. Probably gonna kms before 50
I don't think this test is very good.>>24685676>145 iq>phonepostingHmmmmmmmm
Even they are waking up for the fact that women only read porn.
The spergy 20-minute rant on how getting wet from non-consensual fairy fingering does not mean you enjoy it was clearly personal.
>>24689416After 30 years of being attracted to women, I am starting to reconsider my decision.
>>24689395I mean in the novels. It's all about hijacking your reproductive drive. For men it's super cutie youthfull sex nymphs. For women it's rich handsome loner Chad's who love them above all else. There is no better mate to reproduce with from a woman's standpoint.Just like an average guys isn't going to have a uber attractive cutie fall on his lap. The average woman isn't going to have Elon Musk fly them to his space mansion and make love to them. Not for lack of trying on his part.
>>24689442How about poor mid loner chuds? Anyone?
>How could this have happened?
>Some people back then used to think... who was it, Socrates? Yeah, Socrates... He believed that writing stuff down made your memory worse... Like what a stupid idea. He didn't write anything down and then we started writing shit down and technology fucking SKYROCKETED. Like imagine if we took this guys advice and didn't write anything down, where the fuck do you think we would be right now? Plus it's not even true. I write shit down ALL the time. All the time... And my memory is awesome. Writing things down actually helps your memory; Socrates was retarded.
>>24687576
>>24687576you say it in a way thats retarded but i agree
Now that the dust has settled (lol), is it worth reading? Are the sequels worth reading also?
>>24688419Dune is absolutely worth reading even by itself and the series is nice because there's a few places in the series you can just stop at. If you liked Dune you can read Messiah which is basically just a big epilogue of Dune. If you liked Messiah then read Children but I found it to be a slog but God Emperor makes up for it and ends the main series. Then unless you really really like Herbert you can skip the last 2 because they're the first two parts of a separate (but still in-universe) trilogy that he died before finishing.
>>24688549this
>>24688549>the first two parts of a separate (but still in-universe) trilogy that he died before finishing.I mean his son did finish it based on his notes, although he split it into two books. They’re the only two books by Brian Herbert that are worth reading. Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune.
>>24688549>God Emperor makes up for it and ends the main seriesNo, it starts the second series.Its only function is to set the scene for Heretics and Chapter House.
>>24688419The first one is worth reading. Messiah is boring imo
I didn't think LoTR was THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME but it is unique and really fun.I jumped into A Game of Thrones recently after The Hedge Knight and I have to say.. It's not that fun. Cliffhanging, exciting and all of that, but… maybe too modest? My imagination wasn't running or enjoying what was being said and described, and the way characters spoke and behaved was too close to our world.
>>24688319Try Jack Vance's Cugel stories ("Eyes of the Overworld" and "Cugel's Saga"). I would also recommend Gene Wolfe's "Book of the New Sun" quadrology, and if you like his writing style you should follow those up with the "Book of the Long Sun" and "Book of the Short Sun" series.
>>24689116To be honest, I haven't read any of those books. I always play them as audio, audiobooks if you will.Yes, I do love The Hedge Knight. I grew very fond of Dunk & Egg and their small, irrelevant tale, but alas, that old fuck said there're gonna be 9, 12 or even more books regarding them AFTER he finished Winds of Winter.I don't know how Tolkien does it? the way his characters spoke, how he describe everything around them very slowly yet intriguing, is just fun and thoughtful. Add Robert Inglis narration to that and it's other-worldly.
>>24688319Wizard of Oz. Tolkien took a lot from WoO.
>>24688319Look up the Shannara Trilogy.If you loved LOTR then you'll love that trilogy.
>>24688319Conan short stories are great.
Who gets him right?Any other bios you particularly enjoyed? I thought Steve Marin's Born Standing Up, Tina Fey's Bossypants, and Norm Macdonald's Based on a True Story were all great but they are all autobios. Is it even possible for a third party to accurately depict creatives?
>>24687521He doesn't have the look but I liked his portrayal a lot. Played up the "he's in his own world genius" act in a fun way.
>>24687419Obviously the classic is Life of Johnson by James Boswell. And although it is not exactly a biography, Conversations with Goethe by Eckermann.
>>24687419I am a big Elvis fan myself but I don't think he wrote any songs which makes him a less important figure than someone like Michael Jackson or even Prince
>>24689253Idk about his impact on the culture or the king of rock and roll or whatever. To me he's the clearest example of pathos in the industry. Especially as he aged his music and covers just start dripping with it. I'm curious how a man like that exists and interacts with the world. From the stereotypes he was like a raw nerve, only allowed to exist because he had so much money that insulated him from real life. Interesting too that he was under the control of someone else. I think even he realized he couldn't handle the world straight up. But again that's only coming from his depictions in media and me reading importance into his music. Just curious if that aspect of him was ever explored by someone with real access.
>>24689399Maybe Elvis What Happened? By Red West and the other Memphis Mafia guys. I confess I haven’t read it but it’s on my list
>took me 5 months to read a book cover to cover>can't even bring myself to start another oneIt's over. How do you cope with knowing you'll never read all the books you want to read?
What book was it?
there is still time...

>>24689345I always wondered what he means by neverborn. When searching about it, some people say that they would be inanimate objects given life or souls. When thinking of how warging works in ASOIAF, perhaps the neverborn are souls waiting to inhabit a vessel that are plucked out and put into corpses.
>>24688216I kneel before the image of [B]ae_lor the [B]lessed every morning.
>>24681616If we take into consideration Grrm's blatant inspiration from Memory, Sorrow & Thorn, the easy guess is that the Others are simply children of the forest that decided to live in the ice and put up a border between the two factions and they probably worked a magical treaty. For whatever reason, the Others are beginning to break that treaty by going south.
>>24681616the show is canon and based off of martin's notes for the series. The others were created by the children of the forest to fight the first men. If you're expecting ice elves or something impactful, you're a fan of the wrong series.
>>24688888Well something happened at Summerhall
