Why do people consider these philosophy books?
>>24718140De sade was a sadist, literally. He beliefed people should die and suffer to the maximum possible. Overall its an anti-life attitude and an evolutionary dead-end.
I wasn't expecting this book to be so fucking funny. The first half wasn't anything out of the ordinary for a realist novel, but the second half, once Emma starts her affairs, is non stop genius comedic situations after another.The clubfoot guy. Rodolphe writing the letter. The theater. The punchline at the climax with Emma hearing the blind guy. Good lord. So good.Probably the funniest book I've ever read.Discuss.
>>24715343But she didn't go insane because of her books though? But because of the patriarchy denying her living her romantic dreams. When you seclude a star into a small house then don't be surprised when it burns it down. Emma was made for better and finer things than what her social class could grant her. She was Emma Bovary.
>>24709046That's literally me fr
Emma is the kind of woman you know will ruin your life but you still get her pregnant as a way to chain her to you for at least a couple years even if she will be cucking you non stop. She's that hot
>>24715373LMAO, and she believed all that, too. She DESERVED better. Insert a hoe_math video here
>>24700158All Emma Bovary needed needed was good fucking that would let her experience female orgasm at least once. Unironically made for BBC.
How many books have you read so far this year?
not bad but not as many as the last couple of years at this point
>>24717469>more books read means I'm smarter of course.Only if they're quan millz books, otherwise they don't really count
>>24716793I don’t know the exact number, but it must be around 50

The gaping hole in his philosophy is the utter lack of engagement with the "Apollonian". Following his line of thought to best disclose Alethiea we may as well go back to mud huffing troglodytes worshiping the great juju up the mountain otherwise we're "enframing" with "metaphysics". I mean even his taste in art is embarrassingly gushy... He really seems to think that simple bongo rhymes are superior to Wagner because they are more "immediate to being". He seems one step away from just becoming an outright primitivist.
>Non German doesn't understand HeideggerMany such cases. OP, youre just another casualty.
>>24716722I recommend you make more of an effort to get into the spirit of the people you're reading.
>>24716722Thread going how you hoped?
fuck this Nazi bitchhe has absolutely nothing of note to sayjust wankery
>>24717000I think he essentially believed technology was moreover about its responsible usage and preventing it from uprooting the individual from his or her grounding. Calling him a primtivist is a vulgarization of his thought.
I have 5 short stories out in pro rate magazines and a dozen poems in reputed literary journals. I’m working on a novel to make or break my career. And I have the literary agents lined up. Ask me anything.
>>24718061How much networking impacts your work? Is it absolutely essential to network? Where do you get your ideas from? How did you find your style? Have you gotten any pussy? How much money is in writing? Do you feel lonely?
>>24718061can i be a published author if im regarded and cant write and have no connections and have no money?
>>24718107>How much networking impacts your work? It helps but I mainly just talk to other pro writers who need critiques. Offer yourself as a beta reader in special magazine discords and they will let you see their work; befriend them by giving good feedback.>Is it absolutely essential to network? No. I don't do it that much but I do talk to magazine editors and such on Discord. They honestly will reject a bad story just because it's a bad story, no matter who wrote it (even Stephen King gets rejected). Your name and status only helps you for book deals, not magazine publications.>Where do you get your ideas from? I research a lot then add imaginative flair. >How did you find your style? I didn't have any style to speak of for about two to three years. Until I just developed my own philosophical views and observations that I could put in the stories.>Have you gotten any pussy? I'm bisexual and got some twink to buy me drinks because I told him how to get a poem published.>How much money is in writing? My best sale was 12c per word. But don't get into it with the expectation you will succeed or get rich.>Do you feel lonely?Yes.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>24718128>I research a lot then add imaginative flair.Can you talk about your research process? I have a hard time adding detail to my stories. How do you take notes while researching?>special magazine discord How would one find such a thing?
>>24718130>Can you talk about your research process?I go to the library and get out as many books as I can lug home. I usually read at the library for hours on end. Best way to use the library is to look up search terms, check appendices, and find books through the bibliographies. Try get out the weirdest books you can think of, like entomological catalogues of bug pictures, then try to make that a story. Trust me, creativity will come if you force yourself to do weird things. >I have a hard time adding detail to my storiesIn what sense? At the sentence level or the overall structure? If you are writing bland stuff, then you need to fill your mind with crazy art. Copy from as many things as you like until it is your own. I tend to try to ape everything from Lord Tennyson to Emil Cioran to David Lynch. All in a day's work.Another tip: Trunk stories you don't want to send out yet then get them up to scratch a few months later. Trust the process. It's all about routine and going back to edit once you let your mind rest and look at it with fresh pairs of eyes. >How do you take notes while researching?By hand or in a word document. But you should write in shorthand for quickness. Don't try to get slogged in note taking; that's the death of many a would-be writer.>How would one find such a thing?Apex Magazine has a critique section in their discord, so does Clarkesworld. You just have to sign up on their patreon to get access, and I think they have very cheap ones you can pay peanuts for.
I saw this quote posted in the comments of a Charlie Kirk video:>When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.t. George RR MartinWhy do people resort to the wisdom of George RR Martin in times of need and desperation? Does it finally mean that genre fiction has outpaced literature in cultural relevance?

>>24715691I was 4 that year. All I remember is preschool and having babysitters who liked Bon Jovi and watched Headbangers Ball. Got my first taste of extreme metal in 1992 seeing Napalm Death on TV. now I can't go a day without blast beats.

>>24718091No matter how much they disagreed with them politically and religiously, I have to give it to 4chan that they valued every single Israeli life that was lost on October 7th. Big respect for that.

>>24717811> Intentionality doesn't enter into this calculus.It enters from the very moment that you are judging the victim because of his ideas that, you think, lead to certain consequences. >>24717222This post, again, refutes all your shitty consequentialist babble. But you didn't tackle the ethical question, nor will you do, because you are focused on the myopic "he tasted his own medicine" take, whose moral level is akin to a Disney Channel's moral at the end of an episode.
This book is dogshit. Complaining about the mediocrity of the art establishment is something; but if you do, don't be even more mediocre than them. Just name drops imageboard and memes for nothing, the style is annoying. Could've been worse, it's just a bit more mediocre than the lib art culture it makes fun of throughout the whole book
>>24716404>White also claimed that Barry “couldn’t even write” and that he’d agreed to edit the book “under the assumption that [the author] was like the character in the book: an uneducated black woman from Vancouver. So, I was trying to help her write this book, right? And wasted three months of my life.”lol
>>24717750Pathetic attempt at damage control.
>>24717687>Some would say it was a bad move to confess like I did, but I did so knowing what the ramifications would generally be.You're missing my point, which is that by attaching this novel to that penname you effectively wrote it off as unserious work; you made it part of a prank. Again, any praise you received for it under those pretenses is now invalidated because of your own claim that said work only saw "success" on account of your assumed identity. That's a huge fuck up. Your claim wasn't that success is only possible if you're the right kind of minority, it was that dogshit work would be praised over idpol, and now your novel is framed---by you---as dogshit.It'd be different if you tried using that notoriety to then publish your novel under your real name from the start. I don't think it would help much, but it at least wouldn't taint it as a farce.>I'll be subbing to the big mags, under slightly different parametersIf you really cared to make a point you would have suffered the wait from the start. You now have a name for writing shitty meaningless poetry, and for trying to dupe people with it. And (supposing your next prank succeeds) if you claim a big mag only accepted your work because of an assumed identity, then the reveal shows what? That your work sucked but got published because of idpol? That your work was good and you could have just published under your real identity from the start?There will only be a small fraction of people who will think your work was both good and only succeeded due to idpol; they'd have to simultaneously believe both that the big magazines have high standards and that they're exclusionary. The only other positive spin you could put on it is that you're capable of authentically emulating another identity, but who in that small fraction I outlined above will give a shit?>I'd have to run that by a few people first. Man, you're being published by a guy who goes by McBussy. Just post them if you're going to keep coming here to talk them up.
>>24717782>>Man, you're being published by a guy who goes by McBussyMcBussy is an honorable 4chan poster. You don't get to talk shit about him, redditor.

Forgot to say I voted
>>24717536Yeah normally when I write in the morning I write about writing in the morning, then when I daydream I write about writing about daydreaming about writing. With the ball bearings it's interesting because then I'll write about thinking about writing while falling asleep with ball bearings in my hands (because I can't write with ball bearings in my hands). Writing about writing about writing while hypnotised. Writing about writing about writing about writing while drunk. Sometimes I write from the toilet, and I'll leave the rest for you to figure out.
I voted.I’ll give more feedback on Sunday & Monday.
Voted. Hard call. Honourable mentions for incel, nomenK, IdYeq.

Sorcery, Wizardry, Witchcraft, Psionics, and General Magic and Powers EditionFAQ:>What is worldbuilding?Worldbuilding is the process of creating entire fictional worlds from scratch, all while considering the logistics of these worlds to make them as believable as possible. Worldbuilding asks questions about the setting of a world, and then answers them, often in great detail. Most people use it as a means of creating a setting or the scenery for a story.>"Isn't there a Worldbuilding general in >>>/tg/ already?"Yes, there is. However, that general is focused on the creation of fictional worlds for the intended purpose of playing TTRPG campaigns. Here you can discuss worldbuilding projects that are not meant to be used for a roleplaying setting, but for novels, videogames, or any other kind of creative project.>"Can I discuss the setting of my campaign here, though?"If you want to, but it would probably be better to discuss it on >>>/tg/ . We don't allow the discussion of TTRPG mechanics, however. If you want to discuss stats or which D&D edition is best, this is not the place.>"Can I talk about an existing fictional setting that is not mine?"Yes, of course you can!>"Does worldbuilding need to be about fantasy and elves?"Worldbuilding, as already stated above, and contrary to what many believe, does not inherently imply blatantly copying Tolkien. In fact, there are many science-fiction setting out there, and even entire alternative history settings which do not possess supernatural elements at all. Any kind of science fiction book has an implied setting at least, which involves a certain degree of worldbuilding put into it.Old thread: >>24567943
>>24717908Cool. Like metaphorical elemental curses
>>24716888>or some variety of gnostic.I'm using gnostic loosely. Systems of magic inspired by Daoism or Buddhism involve self-cultivation (loosely, attaining gnosis) in order to become an immortal or a buddha/bodhisattva. Their cosmology reflects this with fallible deities that the protagonist may overthrow or supersede. When the Japanese take inspiration from Western traditions, they often include gnostic themes and symbolism not merely because it's exotic and cool, but also because it is most culturally similar to Buddhism with respect to deification principally through knowledge. The god killing trope is also completely in line with gnostic belief of a faulty demiurge. Even though this is usually a video game trope, the influence they have on Western writers is existent.>modernist atheisticWhat I meant by "modernist atheistic" is the attitude towards religion. There's probably a better word for this, but the only other term that comes to mind at the moment is "reddit". Even if the world has religions with myths, histories, followers, etc., it falls flat when it's treated like a garnish to its denizen's being. The redditor does not understand religion, and treats it like an arbitrary set of beliefs that followers subscribe to to attain membership in the religion, and without understanding the religious mindset. As a result the people they write like people are today, sans the knowledge of modern science. When magic is involved, instead of treating it as something wondrous and fundamental to the world's being, they ruin it by over-systematizing it and turning the supernatural into a science. The redditor especially, sees magic not unlike a distinct school subject, and while systematizing this science, they make it foreign and disjunct to the natural sciences with how poorly it integrates into how the world works. This culminates to people treating magic and magic items like it's electricity and electrical appliances, but with a different power source.
>>24717738>What about elements beyond those four, like Light or DarknessI have never liked darkness as an element, since darkness is not something but rather the absence of something (light) I can give you electricity though.Lightfags: Can turn invisible. Can turn into light for a second (essentially intangibility) Can absorb the light of a given area (turning it completely dark) and concentrate it in a laser. Can change the color of things.Electricfags: Have reflexes as quick as lighting. Have control over magnetism. Can attack with sonic shock waves by clapping their hands (must prepare before using the attack or they might make themselves deaf) a sub ability of this is the ball lighting, they basically make bombs of electricity that can be detonated over large distances, can be used as distractions.
>>24717908I think these curses are overpowered. They should be a lot weaker: a fire curse should just make you feel hot all the time. A water curse makes you constantly sweat or gives you dry mouth all the time. An air curse doesn't let you breathe through your nose or gives you asthma if you breathe too deeply.
>>24718099>I think these curses are overpowered.Well yeah, the anon ask for POWERFUL curses, if he wanted moderate curses or weak curses, he should have specified.
To what extent do you think modern humans are beholden to natural evolution?By that I mean: natural selection is the process where genetic differences lead to certain individuals being more likely to reproduce, and thus pass on the specific genetic traits that made them more likely to do so, leading to organisms changing over many generations. But for modern humans, there are many factors beyond the purely genetic that determine whether someone reproduces or not, and these factors aren't (necessarily) inherited as genetics are, which would suggest "natural" evolution isn't at play anymore.Wealth, status, education, occupation, political or spiritual membership and community in general, personality; some of these you could potentially argue can be traced back to purely genetic differences, but many have nothing to do with the material makeup of the person being born, and even larger abstract factors like "the state of the nation's economy" or "the geopolitics of the continent" have an effect on if or when humans reproduce. At that point we are lightyears away from genetics mattering.Not to mention, if we assume that free will exists, someone who is in the position to could simply choose not to reproduce simply because they can. Is "natural selection" still at play there?And no, I'm not really interested in how you think your god(s) factor into this.

>>24714582Lol why would you think that?
Ulrich is Raskolnikov, but actually nuanced.Instead of being a poor, law school dropout out, he was by all accounts a gifted intellectual, rich, and a part of the aristocracy, who had every reason to consider himself superior to the common folk, yet ends up as a loser unable to fulfill any sort of destiny. Any notion of being a great man is thrown out the window and his attempts to rebel against society are just portrayed as childish outbursts, yet understandable. Meanwhile Raskolnikov was a poor loser who sperged out and quickly realized he was wrong.
>>24716665Should've fucked his sister IMO
I want to fuck Sonechka
>>24717228The book is short and his guilt starts kicking in quickly, he’s coping and seething for most of the book.
>>24717228Yes, but he realises *that* he was wrong very quickly.
>>24716665Has anyone read this in German? If so, how is his style? Is it endurable for the standards of German modernism?
