Not only Julius Caesar enslaved a million Gauls but even before that they were so dumb they'd sell their own people into slavery in exchange for just a jar of wine

Are you retarded or just trolling? Nordic runes were based on old italic alphabets, and they started being used a thousand years after the Etruscans lol. It was them imitating the italic languages a thousands years after they had been around

>>24609336
Source?

Let me guess, there was no source.

>>24609530
There was but it was all a bunch of german books from the 30s to 40s

This book is the most straightforward common-sense observations in regard to human health ever laid to paper. Anyone that can't see that is either a retard or a shill.

Did Price ever go into explaining that being "sick" is the bodies natural way of healing/detoxing?

>>24610253
No, nor would it have been relevant for him to do so (assuming he even knew). It's focused on exactly what the title says.

>>24609994
Are you pagan?

Did they perform human sacrifices?

>>24610035
I think some guy certainly claimed to do all those things, but it would be retarded to think God cares about an insignificant ant like you

Shut up, achmed

this video really needs the sound to sell it

for context "only god can do it" is blasting here

>>24609927
This argument does not really work because for me the universe began when I was born. It never having existed in the first place is different from it having existed before being taken away.

>Anon, dying is not that big of a deal. Everyone dies.
Yet you can't refute a single point I made. Normie retards like you seem to think everything has to be some sort of childish emotional knee-jerk reaction to something, and can't even conceive ot making decisions based on actual long-term calculation.

>>24609914
>I am already dead because I am amongst the living, and there’s no-thing to rush towards here, so why gild the lily?
>If get to ride the contradiction of a mortal life for even a moment, I’m profoundly lucky. Living with the conscious awareness of death is why I don’t freak out and immediately turn to thoughts of suicide like you freaks.
This is nothing but a bunch of platitudes. What the fuck is "ride the contradiction of a mortal life" even supposed to mean? Either you think life is valuable or you don't. If life is valuable, there's no reason not to get cryopreserved. If it isn't, there's no reason not to kys. Valuing your current life but not your potential future life as a reanimated being is an obvious double standard.

>>24605612
With Nietzsche it wasn't an undertone imo, he really tried to create something like a religion with the Overman.

>>24606144
This is why most theists are actually desperately frightened closet-nihilists. They project this conclusion onto atheists because it's the exact reason why they refuse to accept reality: they couldn't handle it. Well, the vast majority of atheists can indeed handle it: normally, functionally, and without coming to these nihilistic conclusions. The atheist in their mind is the extreme minority, the real majority are normal people in european countries who were simply not raised with that superstition.
It's no surprise that christian larpers obsess over and revere the torture and execution of an innocent man - but cover their ears when people say that's morbidly deranged and unhealthy. Deeply spiritually broken people.

>>24609950
Yes, that's experientially true. But humans function by temporal abstraction; they see the future and past as functionally real as a necessity. Decoupling your cognition to overcome this anxiety is the only way to get over it and start the spiritual healing.

I relate to this. When I am writing my girlfriend will complain because I am not fucking her. During periods where I do not write anything I am horny as anything.

>>24610034
Women find writers boring unless you're writing poetry for them.

>>24610034
There’s nothing particular about writers
Look at how many actors, directors, producers, athletes, e-celebs, and so on are found to be sexually deviant
Look how many cases of non famous people there are who get caught being fucked up
It’s just how people are sadly

>>24610206
psh, even then

Quite frankly I'd expect a Reddit casual to know the first thing about Byron. I joined /lit/ in 2023 and my low expectations only fall lower

I don't even remember what happened in the last book.

Sorry bozo, my penis obeys only the law, and the lawyers, dictum in hand, say these girls cannot be attractive.

>>24610175
What happens if you stand on a border of different countries with different aoc with your eyes on one side and the penis on another?

>>24610193
American social(medial)ites will bite off your manhood if you dare not follow the law of The United States Of The Grand American Country. They'll bite and chew heartily, while pretencing not to enjoy the only touch of man they'll ever experience in their lives.

>>24610193
I imagine it would operate similarly to split-brain patients. Your penis would grow erect, but when asked why, your conscious mind would invent a plausible, yet false, reason out of thin air.

>>24610170
sorry i misspelled, hot!

>>24610174
nice try, bakkerfag.

i need to stick to my not further than the 70s choice of books.
the closer it is to the modern times the more degenerate literature becomes, in all meanings.

>>24610147
An interesting exercise is to write down every primary and secondary character and then to draw lines between them, dashed for cuckoldry, straight for rapes. As you'll see, virtually every character is included in a neat web. Next, trace the "shortest path" between Kellhus and the remaining characters he hasn't raped and/or cuckolded (spoiler: there are basically none).

burroughs was a nihilistic psychopath but his novels also have a lot going on under the hood

i googled abit around because the question interested me, kerouac lists him as on of his favorites, and that fucking pederast ginsburg and burroughs meet him actually once in france, so yes that kinda confirms my suspicions that they are strongly influenced.
But i personally find celine way more nihilistic and bleak. He isnt as depraved and hedonistic as the beats, and that makes him way more sympathetic and thus harder to read. Im still entertained by burroughs and so, but dont feel an ounce of pity for them, they basically see the world as their playground and celine sees it more as a harsh darwinistic dog-eat-dog world, thats atleast the impression i got from journey through the eind of the night (but very subjective, because thats the only thing ive read by celine), so in that sense i understand why he feels way more humanistic, because he sees himself as part of the scum and bottomfeeders, the beatniks always had an aloof air to them, that they still thought themselves above the true bums but now im just ranting away, but feel free to disagree with me and give me different views to consider. i think i will read it again in the next months too

>>24609775
To be fair I’ve only read naked lunch

>>24609809
That the beat generation wasn’t influenced by celine was not my point. I wanted to separate them from celine in the way that the writing is (at least from my perspective) fundamentally different. I read celine in some sort of dialectical way. I think he reveals e.g. the dignity of his characters by attacking or destroying it in front of our eyes, and for me this is a very powerful method. I can’t say the same about the beat writers, but maybe I haven’t read them enough.

>>24609932
have to read celine again, is too long ago that i read him, theres like a 4 year gap between reading him and the beatniks, so i dont remember his writig style that good and thus cant really contribute more to the disussion, but he came immediatly to my mind when reading the beats. But i will keep your post in mind when i pick up journey again (and that will be soon)

I went to a school known for English to get an English degree and never had him mentioned in a class. I switched majors specifically because of how awful the modern academic approach to great works is.

>>24609666
From a non-English school, the English literature professor skipped him that year, but taught him the next year.
He changes plans every year.

>>24609666
They did when I went

Chemistry is completely fake. "hurf durf everything is made of smaller everythings that are invisible except if you use these special gadgets I can sell to you for a billion dollars each" yeah ok bro. The only thing faker than it is physics but don't get me started talking about that one.

>>24608999
STEM is just bean-counters applying the superior art and ideas forged from philosophy and literature into the physical realm. The benzene structure appeared in a dream. The Big Bang theory was discovered by a catholic priest. You will never be able to rationalize the world entire, until you can solve the question of consciousness.
