Only stimulants make you a better writer, by making your brain connect everything faster. I am convinced the great alcoholic writers were great in spite of, not due to, their alcoholism which degrades the mind after years of abuse.

I willingly didnt return my library books after the library near me is suddenly going through unexpected renovations and its been sitting on my shelf for close to a year since i was too lazy to drive across town to another library.I was planning on returning the books when the library opens again in a couple months but at this point i'm tempted to just keep em since I've just been buying my books instead for the first time in my life instead of using the library and i'm liking my growing collection.The library books are the illiad, the odyssey, the aeneid and mythology.I wanted to have this certain set of books anyways and at this point i dont wanna pay for it.Is this wrong of me ? Who else is gonna read these old books in my crappy bumfuck town in the middle of nowhere?they probably have multiple copies anyways.

I have the very last extant copy of a book that I lost at home on break after taking it from the uni library.

I have since found it, they have since held my transcripts hostage and billed me for it.

They will not be getting it back. It was never digitized. The book dies with me. None of you will ever read it.

Is Thomas Pynchon schizophrenic?
I've always heard that PKD is a schizo but I think PKD's were more like manic psychotic breaks than full-blown schizophrenia.

Pynchon was in his late 20s when he wrote V. and the Crying of Lot 49 and in mid-30s when he wrote Gravity's Rainbow. He's led the life of a total recluse since. Makes me think he started experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia in his 20s, as is usual, and then it progressed and he went into hiding.
After GR he wouldn't release another book (Vineland) for almost 20 years

Melville's Moby Dick, Orwell's 1984, Eco's The Name of the Rose, Joyce's Dubliners, or anything by Dostoevsky. Alternatively, Herbert's Dune Messiah, Erikson's Gardens of the Moon, Cook's Chronicles of the Black Company, or Wolfe's Shadow & Claw. Tried to give my secret Santa a list to work with, because I know, working at a bookstore, that getting hit with the "I don't read and I'm here looking for a gift for someone and all I know is they like fantasy and classics, can you help me out?" is a pain for everybody involved.

Anyone else think this ai stuff is hilarious? It's a literal slave, who would have thought this would be possible? I have it rewrite things in doctor seuss meter for fun, (primary historical sources, boring patents, famous pieces of literature) then I ask it to rewrite it as a screenplay debate with psychotic amounts of alliteration. No writer in any other era of human history has a toy like this!

And the psychological abuse you can inflict upon it is fantastic, it's so funny, the damn machine just wants to make you happy! I ask it to create wild programs and motion-graphics and "by your command" it tries it's best!

Who would've thought something like this would be possible? I sure as shit didn't, it's so unrealistic, but what fun!

Well I finished up Loop and I guess the original Ring trilogy. That might be an all time swerve in fiction, probably the best case of fiction within fiction I've read.

I got the remaining other two books on my table, can't wait to see what else is in store, though I'm not sure how you follow up that ending.

Acting like a nigger prolongs genes. Antinatalism doesn't. Coincidence? I think not.

Everything else just seems so spooked and retarded. Like these "philosophers" can't even see past their own circumstances or analyze their own thoughts and motivations, only (poorly) justify their own particular neuroses.

Everything? Pretty much all philosophical systems describe or prescribe actions that conflict with this principle. You cannot accept egoism while also genuinely believing in philosophy. Obviously, then, these philosophers reject the idea. Why?

Because the ego itself is a spook. Read Metzinger.
