Life, I myself have punished it by living it.Till where my heart could bearboldly I ventured.Now my day is nothing elsethan a sterile alternationof ruinous habitsand I long to break free from the black circle.When to dawn I am reduced,a fancy takes hold of me, a frenzynot to sleep.And I dream absurd departures,impossible liberations.Alas.

>>25181051>not knowing what a verb or noun isWhy are you posting on /lit/, they teach this shit to 10 year olds
I checked my butt with my hand. Yep, it was a shart.
Philosophy of Flamenco books? Specifically philosophy: not history or art of flamenco.
hijacking, because i wouldnt dare to post an actual music-related topic on /mu/, but how the fuck do i find other people who are interested in flamenco when im in a middle-sized-city not in spain, im reasonably good on guitar now, but i just dont have any fieldexperience, so im probably actually pretty shit if i have to accompy a dancer or a singer, but im so sick of playing alone
>>25178871That's tough buddy. Thoughts and prayers!
Spain is underrated.
>>25178871do you want us to go out and live life for you?
There is a small section on flamenco in Derek Bailey's "Improvisation: its nature and practice in music." I think that the field of critical improvisation studies might be the right track for you.

>>25180746>Just uncomfortable now.tell us the story anon
>>25181339Lmao, I did not know he had such a cosmopolitan background since his books sound extremely mexican-idiosyncratic and the themes are quite crude. I guess it's just a facade.He was born in Guanajuato to a poor family is what I knew.Anyways, he does look mestizo, the last name does not say that much since all mexicans have spanish last names due to the evangelization. Cumming does mean his father did have some anglo background. But what about his mother? He does look typical mexican mestizo going by his looks. Concerning the New York City rockefeller scholarship, he wrote a short story making fun of himself for giving himself up to the US: "La ley de Herodes".https://ciudadseva.com/texto/la-ley-de-herodes/I guess you can't translate it with AI or something if you don't read spanish.
>>25180269What the actual fuck are you on about?
I'm at a point in my life where I think I have a pretty good idea of what most people are like if I spend enough time with them, even if they aren't open about it. Except rich people, especially rich women. They're completely opaque, I can never know what they truly think or whether they really believe what they're saying. There's some non-rich people who also do that to me, but *all* rich people do it. It's like being unreadable is the essential skill to get there.I also recently heard of the "novel of manners" genre, is there something like that for the modern west?
>>25181530>pissed off all the time that they have to deal with anything, do shit like have me change the booties (shoe protection) as I step from their porch to inside their house while carrying a 200 pound object just to fuck with you. They'll wait until 4:45 pm to mention that they have way more shit they want you to do etc. The idea that the people at their house are a company that works until 5 doesn't make any sense to them, because it's not what they wantBeen in construction for years and i would say that's a lot of fuckers on a job site, but i absolutely agree people with richer backgrounds tend to not be as hard working. I swear every project manager i meet is a spoiled little rich kid who has no concept if what it us like to do the work he is directing grown men twice his age to do. It is definetly true that some can get away without developing important skills like social skills or work skills and still get further going to college on daddies money and that a rich person is more likely to be used to getting their way. Gotta teach those little twerps.But not everyone with a hard life is better for it.
>>25181549just move the refrigerators and color TVs tradie. no one wants to hear your lip.
>>25181530Alsoo i just realized i misread your post and you were referring to the homeowner and not foreman..
>>25180706As a poorfag I definitely don't understand the rich. If I were in their position I would be spending my money to make the world a better place, not hoarding it like fucking Smaug. But I guess thats why I'll never be rich. Not enough greed, not enough psychopathy.
>>25181653>If I were in their position I would be spending my money to make the world a better placeYou would try then you would see almost all of that money not going to what you meant it for but instead redirected into the bank accounts of anyone who can get a tentacle on it. After a few futile go rounds of trying to circumvent this you would then rightly conclude that spending money to fix things is a futile enterprise because 99.9% of the people on this rock are selfish pieces of shit and will gladly step on anyone else to fulfill their own desires and make sure their children have more than yours.

Did any of you guys read mack daddy's new poetry book?
>>25177871>>25177874Why is every y2k poetry book ever so shite? Bros...
>>25177874Embarrassing
>>25177874This is a beautiful poem. Many (like the dasyus and danavas here) forget that the Lord Vishnu commands us to love each other. This is going to be a bestseller this summer in Kolkata, I tell you. Big Guru Daddy Mack has knocked it out of the park again!

Which hero from the three Greco-Roman epics is /lit/'s favorite? Picture of X-fags missing the point of the Iliad attached for entertainment purposes.
>>25181573No. Some of what i mentioned is in the play iirc but I prefer the version in posthomerica
>>25181570
>>25181579The kids were brownoid.
>>25178905>>25181063>>25181475Very valid. Menelaos and Ajax protecting Patroklos' body is one of my favorite parts of the story.
So... the good guys won?
>>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.
>>25180914No, not really.
>>25180895Achamian activates the doll before getting captured. This is literally stated.
>>25181303Yeah, I remember reading something of the sort as well. I mean, wouldn't he otherwise be surprised by seeing his own doll saving his own ass? Doesn't make sense to me.
>>25163589>>25163964Their own mythic history says that they came from the stars and went underground to avoid being seen by the gods. Their origin is probably related to that of the incheroi, they've just forgotten. They hid from the gods (damnation) and succeeded in erasing the memory of it, but not the thing itself.

>>25181137forget Latin, even in my own mother language writing a book or essay takes time, time is money, I won't start doing either soon because who the fuck cares or is going to read some mediocre nobody or pay me to do it at the very least, should I therefore doubt my ability to do it? I don't think sowith an ancient dead language that isn't even used as lingua franca of sciences anymore it would be even more fruitless, especially as a hobbyistnevertheless I write some Latin every week, it may not be much but whatever
If you know ancient Greek, have you tried learning modern Greek? Why or why not?
>>25181451i did and it just sounds like ebonics to me. Imagine going from Victorian English to AAVE
>>25181451no, despite the amazing level of continuity considering it's been 2000+ years it's still a different language, with that time I could profit more from learning a big Romance language like French or Spanish(being already a native in one), but I'm too saturated already
>>25181256>should I therefore doubt my ability to do it? I don't think soYes. You should. Doesn’t mean you ought to spend the time doing it, it just means you shouldn’t be a braggart and claim to be a better author than a native Roman who has actually authored something.
This might be the last Aristotle topic that is still vexing to me, but how exactly does the Unmoved Mover work as a first final cause and/or a first efficient cause? So, I get that the final cause has to be prior to the efficient cause. But is the Unmoved Mover an efficient cause of anything? My problem is that in Metaphysics Lambda, the Unmoved Mover is not described as an efficient cause, but only as a final cause. Aristotle also affirms in Lambda that motion has to be eternal (IIRC comes from Physics VIII), which seems to imply that the universe has an infinite chain of efficient causes. So, you get this picture of there being two eternal principles: the Unmoved Mover, and the cosmos in motion. However, in Metaphysics Little Alpha, 994a, Aristotle argues precisely against the idea that you can have an infinite chain of even efficient causes. So, it seems like the idea that there are two coexisting eternal principles idea is wrong, since the cosmos cannot be the infinite chain of eternal causes that it appears to be. However, Aristotle does not fix the problem and call the Unmoved Mover an efficient cause at any point whatsoever. I am not sure how to rectify this. Any thoughts? I think the idea might be that "eternal things can be infinite sources, and since motion is eternal, there can be infinite efficient causes in a temporal sense", but this might be a copout.
