Crazy how true this is.
>>25180916I have been thinking about the meaning of sex. More precise does special value, and if so, why?Western society has steered towards the casualization of sex. To many, a one-night stand is barely a step above ordering a pizza. Its morality has steered the ostracizing of those who oppose this behavior and labelled them as religious purists, and/or pathetic losers.And this bothers me because, despite being non-religious, I consider casual sex hedonistic.I feel like I'm just stuck in the past, and I should embrace the new times. But I just can't find any logic why casual sex should be a social norm, or why so many lack restraint and feel entitled to it.On the other hand, I cannot really say why sex should be considered anything special in the first place. From an evolutionary perspective, humans feel attraction and pleasure from intercourse for recreational reasons. So, by principle, the recreational coitus is the perversion of recreational sex.No matter how much I think of it, I don't think the procreational aspect can be removed from intercourse. It's the abuse of the system.Then there is the aspect of sex in human relationships. Throughout the ages, many societies have insisted on sexual monogamy. But why? Where does the concept of adultery even come from?
What makes John Clare's poetry so palatable?Clack-O'-Clay*In the cowslip pips I lie,Hidden from the buzzing fly,While green grass beneath me lies,Pearled with dew like fishes' eyes,Here I lie, a clock-o'-clay,Waiting for the time o' day.While the forest quakes surprise,And the wild wind sobs and sighs,My home rocks as like to fall,On its pillar green and tall;Comment too long.

>>25180400I thought I hated poetry, because I had only been exposed to modern poetry, but then I started that Harvard bookshelf thing and came across Robert Burns and such.
admit it, /lit/.there are definitely instances where the film is better than the book
>>25180697Yeah true. The book is mediocre genre shit. Alain Delon’s looks, the Riviera locale and getting rid of the gay subcontext really elevates the story.

>>25180668One ruins the other for me. I can't read most King's books because I've seen the movies and I think it's a waste of time if you know the script beforehand. Same with the books, don't want to watch the movies because I have a mental image of the characters and scenarios I don't want to replace it with jew slop cinema.I don't watch movies at all anymore, but a movie based on a book is an absolute no no for me

So... the good guys won?
>>25180895That's a possibility as well. That and the one cant he tries activating it seems the most likely. But >>25179335 is simply wrong, its presence is never explained.This might just be Bakker not wanting to spoil the outcome and then not thinking to have any internal reflection on it later. Or it could be intentionally vague as when the Cishaurim keep spotting Akka and Zin making it into Carascand at the end, but then turning their gaze away (presumably the work of Moe?)I mean, why else would they ignore a sorcerer with the Mark entering the city? But then that suggests that Moe knows he is a path to the Gnosis for Kellhus, which means Kellhus surely knows.Also, he starts setting up the cuckolding and fuckery before he goes to the library.
>>25180666>666nice try, demon
>>25157323Bakkerfag is Danish.
>>25180666i feel like bakker forgot he wrote that she was sentencing people to death and enjoyed it.
>>25175037It's extremely coincidental that Kellhus just so happens to position the No God between him and the White Luck Warrior at the exact right moment twice. It's also extremely coincidental that he brings the No God to the exact right place at the exact right time to get inserted right as he is manifesting Ajokli, especially since clearly he knows Esme will release him.So, Kellhus somehow using the No God against the Hundred doesn't seem that far fetched.As for him hiding in it, yeah, the missing trinkets on the carapace do get mentioned several times. But more telling in this is that the White Luck Warrior sees Malowebi in the Decapitant. That is, the Gods can see the people in them just fine, and presumably they can see them even better in the Golden Room since it is basically on the Outside already (a bubble floating on it as they say). So, the second head seems like a red herring. The No God is a place where the Gods obviously cannot see. The other option is the scenes on the Outside seem to show Kellhus potentially constructing some sort of place for himself. So that could simply be it too.But the No God is obviously the ideal tool if you actually want to somehow defeat or change the Hundred, since it starves them to death.As for Kellhus seeing the No God, that's pretty clearly what the original vision was meant to show. It being Ajokli the whole time would be a plausible retcon, but it could also just be the No God and Ajokli only comes in when Kellhus comes to him as an "inverse prophet." The No God seems pretty thoughtless when destroying things, but if it is the "prothesis" for an AI that "reads the code of the world" then it presumably has more to say.
A New Age of Politics is to come where force and strength reign. What books should I be reading to be amongst the dominant political force when the time comes? I have already read Evola, Jünger, Spengler, Hegel, Schmitt, Habermas, and I have also read Breker's own writing, which has galvanised me. But the clock is ticking and I do not feel ready.Also books on getting rid of homosexual feelings are highly requested. I have not seen anywhere where the Great Thinkers talk on how to get rid of such feelings so I am very lost

I'm surprised that The Stinging Fly is so good, but I guess I shouldn't be. Nation of poets and writers, I guess. Irish journal. Has a good press attached to it to
>>25180310I've seen the Stinging Fly recommended before (by the author of Brat when he was posting here), but I don't think I've read anything they've published. Anything good of theirs online you could link?
>>25180976Yeah, this one. "Let's Go Kill Ourselves" by Colin Barrett. >https://stingingfly.org/2014/07/24/lets-go-kill/GREAT story. The magazine decided to publish his first book of stories (picrel) off its strength and it was fucking killer.
Literarily speaking how did these books gain so much popularity among a certain type of white woman?
>>25180237And what slop does OP read? Since you seem to know what it is, otherwise you wouldn’t have made such a comment.
