I don't like dialectics. I don't think it has any real application. That's not to say there aren't trends in the world that it matches, but the the idea you can derive truths about the world by starting from an abstract thoughts is just wrong. At best you starting off with a preconceived notion, and then fitting that into an abstract logic. The most famous example is Marx's exposition on the commodity form at the beginning of Capital. He didn't derive any of that shit from the abstract, he got it from reading Smith, Ricardo and his own research and then tried to make it seem like it was "dialectical".

Its no coincidence either that Capital Chapter 1 is often cited as the most confusing part of all his work, as opposed to the rest of it where he doesn't use "dialectics" but instead just quotes research and observation.

It's men going into the wilderness and finding an unseemly aspect of God and taking a liking to it. Hell isn't "other people" as a cock-eyed frog put it-- other people are the Abyss that sounds out your own fallenness. Keeping things moving along keeps it hypnotic.

The black reared his head at the sight of the lubricious form of the judge's pale phallus serpentine it wandered gazing out into the world as an infant unborn and yet undesired brought into the world cold and pale and unbreathing. Its pillaric form shone brightly in the void the pillar stood mute upon the black promontory a monolith wrought in obscene geometry. The Judge took to a foul chimeric cacophany of grunting as his member penetrated serene the fistula of the niggers anus dark and unmoving in that sea of serpentine parades the Judge set to stirring up the very soul and the thrice uncottered dreams of the buck were fetched as if a pulque upon the sunborn indigo infant of the world yet unawakened in this land or any other. His breaking came forth as if unbidden into that old night the shadows long and gristled as each thrust was delivered ungouged and unrequited it's eldritch desire can be found buried deep within the hearts of men. As some titan cherubim this pale form let out a cry in the tongues not of man or beast but like to an infernal register unheard in this world since that brought forth tears from the eyes of the watchers and were rendered as stars that danced like naked pygmies upon the bastion of Babylon.The watchers members taken also in hand at their opportunity to arrive unbidden into the bastion of that forsaken womb to bring forth not a child of god but a buck rendered broken upon the firmament which would render the dreams of that infernal race delivered asunder unto the world, writhing and unformed but yet natural in the land that conjured it.

I wasn’t planning on doing this anyway, if only to lighten the load of the OP, which I want to make as short as possible.
You tell me if this is appropriate:

>Subject: /WIBAC/ — Writing Inspired by Art Challenge

>What am I afraid of exactly? That some anon tries to undermine the thread by pointing out a verb-tense disagreement here or comma splice there? Well, kinda!
I can’t tell you that something silly like that won’t happen, but my own ancient iotas in imaginary strangers’ eyeballs downright tortured me for a time—just blink them away.
If the worst comes to worst, and we’re all harassedly audited for our grammarturgical sins, at least the thread will get bumped :P

>I'm keen but only if you need a third judge; if you, meteor or hermes bails then I can sub.
No, the more the merrier, and your insights are incredibly top-tier.
If you’d like to be a judge, it’s yours, and you wouldn’t be butting me or anyone else out.

>>24634176
>[and ?????, the artist behind the image.]
I wrote this in brackets because I’m of two minds when it comes to asking the artist on /ic/ to be a judge.
On the one hand, it’s their artwork, so they are best equipped to know what kind of writing most suits it.
On the other hand, this baked-in suitability is a kind of bias? One which might preclude receptivity?
And the whole point of this challenge is to come up with and instill interpreted meaning, and hearing an authoritative voice on the intended meaning will no-doubt detract from that?
Maybe I’m overthinking this—at the very least I’m linking them the thread when I make the challenge.

>>24634192

What? I'm talking about the quality of your writing. I'm sorry, but you're trying to write a sophisticated book in a foreign language, and have at least a decade of studying before you're ready to do it.
I only know one language. I can write in my native language, as i'm sure you can. Your ambition is actually hindering your development as a writer of english. Have patience.

>>24634158
Thanks for your opinion, but how would you know whether the book achieved its goals if you've neither read it nor lived through the characters' similar experiences?

>>24634199
Because I read the first two chapters and I am a well-read native english speaker. I'm telling you that it is immediately and consistently too esl in a bad way. You are still young, it's not a bad thing. You have a lot of potential, just keep reading english books and learning. The quality of your narratives and characters experiences etc is irrelevant if your prose is poor in this way.

>>24634377
Read the entire book, then give an opinion, the quality of your review is irrelevant if you are this quick to give an opinion. And like i told you, i'm not trying to emulate nabokov, his prose is too refined for the purposes of this book.
