>>24743611Fuentes is actually incredibly informed and I doubt you've ever watched him outside of short clips. I was """""""alt right""""""" from around 2015 but always wrote off Fuentes until current year almost entirely because he has so many vocal detractors that essentially, and effectively psyoped myself and many others into just writing him off, "oh he's a gay mexican catboy don't listen to him." But really he is incredibly funny, passionate about his beliefs, and informed politically and historically. He has said some retarded things as jokes, and he has presented some retarded statements as facts, but he is a human man after all, and is thus fallible. His heart is in the right place, and often his mind is too. The only point upon which one can truly take issue with him is his avoiding legal trouble as an inciter on Jan 6th. I myself haven't fully decided yet if it is not just a series of explainable factors that saw him avoid the long overreaching arm of the law, and not that he is an asset of the intelligence services (I don't believe he is).

>>24743246I attempted to earlier this year as a quick, easy read but fucking hell, the writing was infuriatng. I can see how it inspired Stephen King. And I could already tell the vampires were going to be used as an analogy for blacks and hispanics making LA a considerably worse place to live but "they've got feelings too!" I lost interest when he mentioned how he wanted to fuck a female vampire for the umpteenth time.
Robin Hobb's fiction has been translated into dozens of languages and sold millions of copies. At age 73, she should be able relax and enjoy her last few years of life as an esteemed author, right? Wrong. In blind polls, readers much prefer AI stories to her stories. And boy is she PISSED.https://mark---lawrence.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-ai-vs-authors-results-part-2.html?m=1
They should have told the readers that the AI was written by a woman, then I'm sure they would have preferred Robin Hobb.
>>24744022Guarantee you'd get similar results with Franzen or something.
>>24744011Robin Hobb is a woman? I always imagined them as a bloke, not going to lie.
>>24744011I took the test, the first and last stories (Jenny Wurts and Robin Hobb) I got right, they have a distinctive style and read like an actual short story and a scene from a novel respectively. The rest were a toss-up because they were vignettes, which AI is good at. I think the real difference is that AI will always put out something that's ok and human will vary anywhere from dogshit to a masterpiece, with fewer masterpieces than dogshit, so it's not surprising AI is better on average because it's always average. Story 2 and story 6 were total crap, in fact I wonder if the author of story 2 (Chris/Miles Cameron) deliberately made it nonsensically vulgar to try and game the test because he thinks AI can't write rude stuff. I was surprised by story 6 (Mark Laurence) because it's not a story, just a "quirky"monologue, which is exactly the type of thing AI would write.

Why don't more authors use incest as a plot device?
pic related has a TON of incest and it actually matters in the plot
>>24742717Because It's utter mentally ill dogshit.
>>24742865Of course the plebian would call perfection insanity, this is a given.
>>24742888No, it's a mental illness, almost exclusively populated by stories about gaslighting and bitchy crap, It's not incest and doesn't belong here. Go back to your containment board if you care about it so much.

>>24743566Other than the plagiarism, which wasn't his fault and he immediately took responsibility and fired the guy involved once it came to his attention, none of that shit affects you or is immoral in any way.This is like being mad at Harrison Ford for being in a commercial. Wow how DARE YOU peak creatively years ago! I'm so angry!! Grow up, he doesn't owe you... what, a more interesting autobiography? If he was at least doing gambling adverts or something then you could have a point, but he has legit done nothing wrong, outsourcing a lot of his productions so he can focus on other things is not immortal in any way. if you don't like it just don't watch it?

>>24743819>I want to develop some love toward being alone, living in solitude and being happy with myself, as im going through a painful period in my life.This is an error and you will regret it. Read Tolstoy, Chesterton and the Confessions of St Augustine. The Consolation of Philosophy perhaps also. Then volunteer at a homeless shelter or doing something for disabled kids, etc, where you can have direct and positive engage with other people. I assume that you're quite young, but you will sorely regret cultivating yourself into the kind of gloomy, aloof loner that you're aiming to be.
Remember that manual labor is the only path to salvation, and everything that doesn't contribute to energetic maintenance and surplus creation is by definition evil. Books are evil, writting them is a waste of calories.
>>24743178Erotism, the cursed share, the internal experience In that order. Maybe start with story of the eye as a novel of introduction
I like when I have my suspicions about people who seem to suck confirmed before I waste time reading them. Thank you OP.
>>24743185I’ve read Story of the Eye. I got nothing out of it and don’t at all see what it has to do with what you’re saying. Also, I don’t see what sort of salvation the accursed share offers?
was this dude marxist or not? I keep seeing him lumped in with all the other french pedo marxist of the era, but from what I have glimpsed from the wiki of the Accursed Share, it has nothing to do with how the wealth is accumulated, just what do we do with the excess. It seems reasonably applicable to either a communist or capitalist society? please let me know if the retarded one here.
>>24744004bataille thinks economy exists to waste resources, to the party, to the sacrifice. that is the point of accumulate in first place according to him. is the completely opposite of all economic systems that assume the accumulation of resources to effectively organize it is the beginning of economy. its a very sui generis notion of economy who nobody followed. >>24743198just dont read his novels. there is nothing of his thoughts in it. the guy have a brilliant mind but he is a mediocre writer in all senses. its not even edgy enough in this place and time he dont shine by his imagination but by lucidity of thoughsts. so just read whatever essay. in my personal taste i think the internal experience is his best book.

My love, press your lips against the milk, and burn, tasting as bitter as a blazed hospital.
Whoever is seething saying the God Delusion is cringe just gets filtered by Dawkings apalling personality & has never read it. He goes into extravagent depth with citations on everything and visciously debunks Christianity & Islam with archeological, geological, historical & other scientific evidence from every applicable field possible to the point where it becomes as blatently fake as Mormonism. He also dives into the church organizations themselves & their history of horrendous corruption. You will come out a changed person when you see religions. They are nothing but cults. It's a must read.
>>24743111>geological>As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”Ironic

Why don’t you also point out the fact that Dawkins admitted in an interview Fine Tuning is a solid argument for God.
It is completely beyond me why anyone would be a "spinozist."Why believe that everything is actually just one thing and then that this thing has the right to be called "god" instead of just nature? Why don't you just become a hindu or something?
>>24743275Spinoza was the og western civilization destroying secular Jew. Marx? Freud? Adorno? Marcuse? All copycats of the first. Bro was being called an atheist when most Europeans didn’t even think it was possible. A true pioneer.
>>24743968Dunno, if the Jews put an eternal ban on you and your soul, you must have done something extremely right.
>>24743999It's like backwards Chabad-tier Jews in a pre-emancipation context freaking out over the first guy to invent being a "secular" intellectual buddy buddy to the goyim. He was operating on advanced Judaism.
