>I am not smart enough to write accurate hard science fiction
>accurate hard science fiction
No such thing.

Hard sci-fi is not about accuracy, it's about using technical shit you like the same way space opera uses tropes. It doesn't have to be accurate whatsoever, you just have to be anally, autistically technical about it.

Peter Watts and Greg Egan are considered the top contemporary scifi authors and they write about fucking vampires and N-dimensional AI lifeforms respectively. What tf is "accurate" about those?

>>24653349
>I'm a greg egan fan
Then you should know that Greg Egan is not smart, he's a massive brainlet with a math degree who really rally wanted everyone to know how much he hates sex and was confident enough to go after this goal through writing.
(this is not a bad thing, I am also a fan. It's just that it's a hard fact of reality that he's fucking retarded)
If he could do it, so can you. You have to learn how hate human sexual intercourse really hard if you want to fully imitate his aura tho.

>>24653358
>Go look at orthogonal, the math behind it, I cant even build that
You can. It's fucking easy breh. You're just intimidated by whatever you come up with being "wrong".

Any math, physics or biology undergrad can find a about a thousand things wrong in the Orthogonal trilogy. It's about as accurate to contemporary sciences (of which Egan is only somewhat kinda tiptoes-level fluent in topology mathematics and that's literally it) as Verne's From the Earth to the Moon is to contemporary rocket science. It's just that much fewer people know shit about topology now compared to rocketry, and Egan jas the necessary artistic cojones to say "well that's like your opinion man, I'm the artist I see it that way go fuck yourself". Which is how it always works anyway.

Sanskrit is a classical language.
Being able to read a script is no guarantee of being able to read a language. You can read the Latin alphabet too, but you are likely not able to read Latin.
If you want to make progress in Sanskrit, treat it as an entity in its own right, from which your native language might be in large part derived, but which nonetheless has its own distinct rules and voice. It is not "epic/fancy" Nepalese or Hindi any more than Latin is just "fancy French."
I stress this point because failure to recognize this early with any classical language can lead to countless pitfalls, as overeager and rigid students conflate older words and forms with the utterly accidentally changed senses of their modern counterparts.
All this said, I envy the leg up you have on that wonderful language.
Happy learning.

>You can read the Latin alphabet too, but you are likely not able to read Latin.
I didn't think of it that way, but you're right.
>from which your native language might be in large part derived
Yeah, there's lot of words that are borrowed into Nepali from Sanskrit so it is easier in context to get the meanings, but you're correct that it's a separate entity with it's own rules especially the grammar, which is always a thing with languages.
English is second nature to me by now, because we're essentially forced into it in schooling, so it's technically my first time learning a different language.
I do want to tackle greek/latin and chinese at some point, but that's way out in the future.

>>24652924
>Lute is dumb about inflected forms, but you can link words together with custom definitions by setting the word's parent, and a word can have more than one parent if necessary.

It’s dumb in just the right way because it forces you to make new entries for all the new forms (if you want to, you can just link to a parent term and leave that particular form undefined) so one could possible (not optimally) learn every declension and every verb conjugation eventually just by reading enough even if they literally knew zero Latin at all day one.

These is something interesting to this quote i believe artist is not some “collective man” but but creating art is a trancendental (Divine/Cosmic) act not some collective mumbo jumbo the art is good then it enters into eact person who see it is seperately indivisualy. On a tangent thought experiment - which maybe form small cells of collective uncounsious and slowly interation of these smaller cells into some larger unconscious.

>still screeching about patriarchy,misogny and all that jazz?
To a heroic person, the existence of an enemy to overcome spurs them to action. In continually doing battle with society, feminism itself becomes an engine for self-empowerment and the production of new ideas. Anti-feminism is the total antithesis of this, not enabling heroism but instead trying to sap its vital energy so that an effete and lazy male gender can continue to enjoy power without earning it. There is nothing in anti-feminism that is remotely clever or novel or worthwhile.

Also I'm obviously a man. I'm literally instructing you and other men to seize power directly and to stop with these limp attempts at debating feminism into submission. Look at the person I'm responding to. Just a bunch of nonsense whining about how feminism offends their universal morals. It's literally peak slave morality. If it were a male led movement dominating women into quietude, he would not bitch the way he did, thus he's using universal morality as a subversive weapon - sklavenmoral. Feminists see this, reject it, and laugh at his pitiful attempts. Until you recognize feminists as an incredibly smart and cunning group, you will never overcome them.

Yes there are resentful elements within feminism but that doesn't constitute its entirety. Women, through feminism, are now the central gender, in that men increasingly define our existence in opposition to theirs instead of the other way around. It used to be wrong for women to wear pants, then they forced us to share pants with them. But we haven't taken anything from them. All we can do is feebly demand they go back to dresses while they tell us 'no'. Everything male becomes theirs, but nothing of theirs becomes ours. We get pushed to a smaller and smaller periphery.
The ultimate master stroke of feminism has been to define masculinity around only its most dysgenic and unproductive elements, while they coopt formerly masculine traits into a domain they control. It's really genius when you get down to it.

The first step to resolve this would be a masculinist movement which is ACTIVE and thus Nietzschean and not REACTIVE. But this cannot be because men, most men anyway, are allergic to any kind of gender discussion, naively thinking that gender essentialism will be their liberty.

The future of civilization is male. What I mean by this is we will eventually develop methods of artificial breeding at that point there's no reason not to create a department whose sole purpose is producing genetically superior people generation on generation.
Women will be totally outmoded since males excel in every way.
Femininity will be outsourced to machines and homosexual men.
We will become the gayniggers from outer space and we will travel the stars liberating men from their women.

Not only are these my honest beliefs, but everything I do is in service of this goal.

>>24652929
>Everything male becomes theirs, but nothing of theirs becomes ours. We get pushed to a smaller and smaller periphery.

Are you blind? I've never had a female handyman at my house because there are no available and I don't see this ever changing. Females are pushing an agenda that they are just as useful as men, they are not. And they don't even try because they don't want to do real work. And with this everything substantial in technology and actual productive economy - not the feminised monetary version of where diversity flourishes and where secretaries are needed - is dominated by men. If we were as bad as feminists say we could go back to a state of patriarchy like it was 70 years ago in a single day, but men are actually empathetic human beings and they also don't need to assert such dominance.

>The ultimate master stroke of feminism has been to define masculinity around only its most dysgenic and unproductive elements, while they coopt formerly masculine traits into a domain they control. It's really genius when you get down to it.

Women know that they need men. What you are talking about is an extremely superficial phenomenon of feminism (like this movie I watched yesterday where the mother said to her daughter that she should not trust her love interest either way because he has a penis) and men should not be bothered about it because it's not even worth the energy.

>>24650774
>Plenty of women are artistic.
Yeah, they make the safest, kid-friendliest, milquetoast shit imaginable. Sarah the vegan from pottery class is not a friend of the arts. She seethes and rages at any artist who uses the word bitch in his work, and will personally contact every credit card company she can to get him deplatformed.
>>24650969
So you're a feminist? You believe in equality? That's great. When are you going to sign a military draft card? Did you reject all the women only scholarships for college? Do you advocate for men to seek treatment in women's hospitals? No? Then you're not for equality. You're for female privilege.

Every generation is going to have their own "THING" but I have never seen a generation so adverse to engaging with older material than this one.

>I [Professor Kilby] was invited to dinner with some of the faculty at Christ Church and afterwards one member asked me if The Silmarillion had any sex, in the modern sense, in it. Next day I mentioned this to Tolkien and, to my surprise, he said he had written a couple of sex stories, though he did not volunteer to show them to me.
Tolkien literally wrote stories about elves fucking. Where the fuck are they?
