>>24739645There doesn’t need to be a higher power for those things to exist. It’s literally just a form of soul-magic (or really advanced telepathy, since GRRM is a science-fiction writer after all), which can be aided by certain substances or genetics.

>High Septon dies>no one gives a shit except the political leaders who see him as a pawn to control the smallfolk>except the smallfolk don't give a shit about him eitherIt's kinda crazy, Cersei let a radical sect take over the church and no one gives a fuck until they start doing militant shit. You'd think we'd hear from the smallfolk while Brienne is wandering around bumfuck nowhere like, "Oh yeah the Sparrows are in charge now, things are looking grim/better. They'll drag the kingdom into heresy/greatness as they spread their lies/restore the true faith. And no, I don't care that priest is doing miracles in the name of the Red God, I'm quite content with my nothing happening while I starve to death during the winter."No, it's only brought up when it's an inconvenience to Cersei and Kevan. Honestly he could've just copypasta'd some early Christian heresies like "The Father is the only uncreated God, the other 6 are created beings or forms" since the Seven emulates a lot of the aspects of Trinitarianism. It'd be SO EASY. But George didn't even take time to write a creed or confession of faith for the Fot7. He is beyond lazy.

>>24739962It's not, and my proof is that it's comparatively much more easy to be a meaningful contributor to some field in maths. You don't have to be mathematics' top guy to make a contribution. In philosophy, you get primarily non-meaningful contributions of cataloguers who analyze concepts, guys who wax eternal about what a previous thinker meant, various ists, le epic "what if we combined x and y philosophies" and droves of charlatan retards. Serious contributions are generally massive winner-takes-all scenarios in philosophy

This book is dogshit. Complaining about the mediocrity of the art establishment is something; but if you do, don't be even more mediocre than them. Just name drops imageboard and memes for nothing, the style is annoying. Could've been worse, it's just a bit more mediocre than the lib art culture it makes fun of throughout the whole book

KUBRICK IS A HACK
well i mean i liked the movie but it was interesting how they replaced the Beethoven statue, that seemed kind of odd, some changes here and there such as removing the true ending of the story, but visually its a very nice movie considering the decoration and scenes
>>24739792Basically everything except the endless hordes of brown invaders but he addressed that with 1985
>>24739792What are you talking about? Thus is the opposite of the modern UK. You can go to prison for liking a post in social media. The kids in this book were murdering and raping and easily getting away with it.
>>24740063Bold of you to assume the law applies equal treatment to those things.
The hotel staff, I think, considers us useless freeloaders who have come to America – land of honest laborers with crewcuts – to eat them out of house and home. I know all about this. Everyone bitched about parasites in the USSR too, bullshitted about how you had to be useful to society. In Russia the people who bitched were the ones who worked least. I've been a writer for ten years now. It's not my fault that neither state needs my labor. I do my work – where's my money? Both states bullshit about the justice of their systems, but where's my money?

>>24738318“NazBol” is a meme ideology, sure but the more I think of it the more I owe the failure of the USSR and its complete and utter dissolution to its multiethnic makeup. All of the minorities in Crimea, in the Stan countries and Asia- all of them revolting and causing problems were what led to the failure of socialism not socialism itself as an ideology. A racial state with closed borders and extremely marginal outside influence is the only way for communism to survive in the current time. If communism were adopted in the US it would immediately fall to minority infighting- think about it. They love rioting but they hate each other.
I feel so paralyzed, I know a version of me exists out thereSomeone who’s happier, freer, more successful, more confident, better looking. But I’m stuck here.Is it possible to reach him? I want to become a new person. To transform from a caterpillar to a butterflyEvery day is as mundane as the last. I’m still living in my own mind, a captive. With the same thoughts running over and over againEvery daydream is the sameThe same room, the same thoughts, the same unreachable desires.My body is decaying and my mental health is in rapid decline.The noise of isolation and loneliness is deafeningI know something more exists out there. Beyond the "border" they treat people as human beings. Maybe I could find kindness and safety when it vacated my native land.Maybe I could find opportunity when it was nowhere to be found in my birthplace.Maybe there, beyond the "border" I'll find a sophisticated life, I'll find ease, I'll have the chance to live my youth and act my age.Maybe I could attend a respectful college or school where I could learn and grow.Where I could meet people ever so diverse in thought and color.Comment too long.

Is there really any difference between spending 2 hours reading a great book vs 2 hours reading a shit book vs 2 hours watching a movie vs 2 hours watching TV vs 2 hours scrolling? Any way you're just killing time, not really accomplishing anything.
>>247391732 years so far
>2 hours reading a great bookit calms your mind, makes you learn new ideas and understand somebody's thoughts much more, it also makes you more empathetic, also reading is first and foremost a really great method of communication. >2 hours reading a shit bookit all depends on your taste of course but if we're talking something like Earth, Wind and Fire etc. those books are mainly entertainment and escapism which is not bad but not quite good enough when it comes to reading>2 hours watching a moviemovies are great and also make you reflect and think, be more empathetic, learn new things; especially if it's some great movie like Frozen River, Night Moves, Sideways, American Woman, Network, The Deerhunter, History of Violence etc. Of course there are dumb movies like the Marvel movies but those are mainly good for entertainment and dopamine hits.>2 hours watching tvdepends on the series of course, most of them are time filler tier, but if it's a good show like Treme, The Wire, The Night Of, Succession you get all the benefits of watching a great movie but with a longer time frame sort of like you would get from a good novel. Now, of course reading is still more beneficial and "healthier" but there's nothing bad about watching a well written series>2 hours scrollingnow that is mainly time wasting and dumbing down your brain, with a few exceptions of course but still

>>24738982None of what you said makes any sense. Piracy isn't supposed to be a way to "make money" and if it ever was it was just people in markets selling burned DVDs or camrecorded movies from the Cinema. That hasn't been the case for a long while now, and piracy is for people who want things for free. How on earth were you making money from it? Do you live in the third world?

>>24739145Milspergs are uniformly male. Women aren't interested in that all and are unmoved when a thousand sailors are killed instantly in a magazine detonation. Violence on a statistical scale does not interest them. Rather, women are interested in the relationship between a murderer and a victim because it's "sensual".
Does the origin of consciousness point to a divine source or can it be purely material?
>>24738109Consciousness points to life and is only divine insofar as life as a whole is divine. Consciousness is merely an organ of the animal for the purpose of the development of life in general and its propagation. The origin of consciousness is similar to the origin of any lifeform and is a working of the world-organism into its destiny of becoming universalised.
>>24738109Not even the material can be "purely material" as in describable. Every description rests on assumptions, building blocks which a model is constructed out of. Whatever it is in reality that's analogous to those assumptions logically precedes and is beyond anything we're describing.
>>24739433Truth can be spoken sarcastically.
take a look at Thomas Aquinas argument of the eternal nature of consciousness or of the soul. It basically because we know the nature of geometry, perfect lines, perfect circles, we know the formulas for making them, that begs the question, how we know eternal truths such as these, because perfects geometry does not exist in the world, it is as if geometry is the structure by which the human mind operates, so the mind must be something more than just matter.

How would “fear of being a leader” manifest in a character as a flaw? Is there any way to make it work for a very young character who others really wouldn’t expect to be a leader?
>>24739926Look at Aang from ATLA
>>24739926Maybe he had parents who are too demanding, maybe he fucked up once and somebody got hurt. "Fear of being a leader" is often fear in general, so the person would be the shy awkward type. Kids don't get the responsibility of being a leader, only if they had to care for a little sibling instead of their parents, I guess. Younger person leading older people doesn't work that often, unless it's some temporary alliance of an educated noble youth and illiterate peasants, which sounds marxist afI don't really agree with the other anon's example, because it sounds like "fear of not being perfect", which is such an edgy teen mary sue "flaw" to have
