Are there any books like Jung that combine psychological insights into mythology? Or maybe something philosophical and mythology like Nietzsche?

>And if it is retarded, it is only because it touches on the essence of humanity, which lies beyond the narrow vision of Reason.
You're embarrassing yourself by using the term "reason" incorrectly. You should be saying "understanding". Capitalizing Reason like that is a German idealist move but you're buggering it.

>>24737090
Wrong. Principia Mathematica fell out of relevance because set theory is so much simpler. Godel had nothing to do with it.

>>24739460
I couldn't disagree more. I recognise that continental philosophy has a broader scope and, comparatively, seems to cover more questions immediate to our reality, but that's not the case, not all analytic philosophy is strictly foundational, and I share the view expressed above about Russell's questionable relevance. He no doubt popularised an emergent approach to philosophical enquiry but, in the end, his contributions proved slight and were quickly settled within his own lifetime. Not everything is about the principia or the tractatus, it is a broad tradition, moreover, far from endorsing atheism (analytic Thomism has a considerable number of exponents). There are philosophers of language, yes, but also philosophers who deal with aesthetics, identity, epistemology, and ethics.

Continental philosophy is retarded not because it touches on a sensitive subject (quite the opposite in my opinion, for decades now no contemporary continental philosopher has undertaken the least metaphysical or ontological work) but because it has no method, at least not since Bergson, who was the end of lineage from Descartes' analytic method. A large part of these philosophies produces hundreds of pages out of gross category mistakes, linguistic problems, and a lack of definition that a grotesque inflation of jargon failed to allay. In her lexicon to Deleuze, Buydens wrote “smooth space is a space of proximity, of intense affects, unpolarised and open, unmeasurable, anorganic and populated by events or haecceities. Smooth space is opposed to striated space, that is, metric, extensive and hierarchical. To the former are associated nomadism, becoming and haptic art; to the latter, sedentarism, the metaphysics of subjectivity and optical art.” Who can seriously believe that this gibberish has any meaning?

A great Hellenist, Martin L. West, said of scholars that their role was not to bring obscurity into what is clear, but to illuminate what is obscure (non fumum ex fulgore, sed ex fumo dare lucem). That is clearly not the case for a large part of the post-war European philosophical tradition. Besides, I find the clarity and concern for rigour of analytic philosophy in medieval scholasticism, and right through Spinoza, Descartes, Leibniz and even, in a sense, Kant, proof alone that it is not a British excrescence but a return to a valuable methodology capable of producing something other than ill-formed propositions and crude intuitions.

>continental philosophy is hard to read
>who the fuck knows what this sentence could mean!

You can't think in a genuinely unusual way about reality using plain language. Your critique is lazy and stupid, you had me going at first, I thought it might be a legit effortpost, but no, you make the same vague, pseud objections as any other 15 year old on this site.

>Bertrand's logicist foundations was a completely different program which Godel did not refute.
You're not understanding the "baby's first" texts that you're reading. Godel destroyed the logicist approach to foundations. Other approaches like modern set theory, proof theory, and category theory are in opposition to the logicist approach and a response to Godel's fatal blow.
>>24739692
>Godel had nothing to do with it. Principia Mathematica fell out of relevance because set theory is so much simpler.
Modern set theoretic foundations developed in response to Godel destroying logicist foundations, you dummy.

Incest is an Aryan-Romantic duty to preserve the purity of the bloodline, though. The worship of the Self involves marrying your cousin, also a part of you.

Your categories mean nothing to me. Engage in good faith.

>>24739681
you should marry your cousins there's good evidence it is genetically beneficial and selected for, but the extended ones not your close cousins.
Marrying your 1st cousin generation after generation gets you to a bad place.

According to roman era census records of occupied egypt sibling marriage was notably common perhaps 20% of marriages with some 40% of men with a marriable sister actually marrying her.
Many challenges have attempted to discredit it the idea but a number of pieces of evidence arose that reaffirmed the sibling marriage pattern such as wedding invitiations, naming pattern quirks and successive census returns of the same household.


For a long while I've wondered just how different their society must have been.
Do any of you know any books that attempted to tackle a world such as this where the incestuous marriage tabboo was seemingly absent, a woman marrying her brother was just considered a normal part of everyday life without the outcry of fetishism it attracts now?.

I didn't find anything funny at all about it, still dont unless its unintentional. Dunno what kind of comedies you're watching

It's a boomer nostalgia slideshow (as in literal boomer, someone born between 1950-1965). Watch it if you want to see a bunch of outdated pop culture references, I guess.

copulation with someone you love feels better and fills you with meaningfulness.
copulation with a whore forces you to reflect on your pathetic animalistic nature, diminishing your spirit and connection to divine purpose.

>>24739690
if you're a man, both fill you with meaningless.
masturbation makes you feel worse but there's still no wholesomeness in the afterparty either way.

>>24739700
masturbation is the same. You are just masturbating with a living fleshlight.

>>24739707
somehow it isn't the same (you can't trick your instinct, there's a real life woman there)

Helen Dewitt's The Last Samurai is one of the best novels of the 2000s, Lydia Davis and Joy Williams' microfiction is pretty awesome, and Kathy Acker is to die for. Sally Rooney is a bit corny, but she's not bad.

Thanks for the kind words. I haven’t really tried to market it because I want to make sure at least some people like it. I also don’t think it would do well with a general readership. It’s definitely an acquired taste I think. People who like Vonnegut, Heller and Bukowski will enjoy it. People looking for a John Williams novel aren’t gonna like it. I’ve had mixed reviews here so I’m not sure what to make of it. I’ve been thinking of printing stickers. I’ve started leaving copies of my poetry chapbooks in coffee shops and hotel lobbies.

Sorry to hear about the job situation. Can’t put a price on principles though, so kudos.


I’m glad you appreciated the America themes. That’s what I was leaning into. This land has lots of problems but I love the people here.

Thanks so much. Appreciate you taking the time to read it. It takes a turn towards serious by the midway point that will hopefully suck you in.

Also just as an fyi for anyone else. I updated the manuscript on the print and ebook formats on amazon. I also lowered the prices. The print format is 8 bucks and the ebook is .99 cents. I just want people to read the book.
