why waste your shot at the literary lifestyle on a silly stunt? it’d be one thing if the writing was utter garbo, but from what i've seen it's well above the troll (and /lit/) average (though i assume the chan lingo and other secret edgelord handshakes become tedious very fast)

and now his name is mud. for what, exactly? proving some ben shapiro point about DEI? it's barely even an "own" since the calamari guy (small fry in the grand scheme of things) seems to be pathologically noided. come back when you take down simon & schuster with your blackface routine, barry

The passage wasn't denying Jews salvation either.. when you consider Matthew's audience was Jewish, you realize he's simply pleading for the naysayers to accept Christ. It's not at all a condemnation of Jews, but rather a plea..

>>24733158

because we don't share real lineage with the biblical israelites?? is that why you said 'supposed' and used quotation marks??

ANTI-SEMITE!

>>24733171
Basically and everyone knows that's a strong possibility by now. It's not "antisemitic" to say that any more than it would be anti-british to doubt british-israelite narratives.
You do "share lineage" with the ancient Hebrews but so do they. Some Jew on this board posted a table of genetic data from graves meaning to prove he's a Hebrew but in his own data there's a sudden influx of blue eyes and r1b graves around 1200BC, around the supposed exodus. Your attempt to identify with and take control of the narrative of people thousands of years ago is just as silly as the other attempts like british or black israelites.

On more or less a dare to myself, I found and downloaded this book as well as "Hunter". I found Hunter to be surprisingly well written, given its provenance. And it could be edited to produce what for its time and day, was actually head if its time in several key ways. Turner Diaries though, it had its moments. I read this, and OP's premise is typical pf a liberal. The war did *not* happen because "a black dating a white was at McDonalds". The liberals were rounding *up* the republicans, disarming them, and putting them in camps. It was a rebellion against tyranny. Much like the civil was wasn't really abut slavery. At all. So too was this conflict. Had OP actually read the book, cover to cover. he would know this. Or, OP knows this and crafted his post to underestimate and front-load the question to craft his purpose. A lowly shill.

@grok is this true?

It is very difficult, the retards are the ones who say books like this are easy because they aren’t reading carefully. Al-Farabi thought it was bragworthy that he understood the Analytics (he didn’t). They were not well understood until the 13th century, so yes they are quite hard. Honestly as much of an organon dork as I am you can skim prior an and topics (except the first book), post an is essential though. Even there you can safely skip those autism chapters where he works out all the ways an apodeixis can be wrong. Just remember that apodeixis is a scientific explanation with the middle as explanans not a “proof”.

>>24733006
im not sure if I would say difficult but I'm almost certain whatever the first book of the organon is is the slowest ive ever read in my life, and it also seemed like stuff that has just become common sense, maybe it was a big deal when it was first written down, or he was just writing it down so it would be impossible to forget but it seems superfluous for normal people

>>24733006
I can at least say with confidence the Prior Analytics is the most tedious text I have ever read in my life.
I think a big part of the problem is that the 'canonical' order of the six books is awful and there are crucial definitions and stipulations from earlier books that are only given in later books

Second post, retard.

For nine nights I hung, spear in my side on the great tree with roots no man can find.
Screaming, I learned the symbols and fell back to earth.
Nine poems of power I learned from my ancestors and drank from their well of knowledge.
Thereafter I learned and grew learned and grew and prospered. Word follows word, work follows work.
Symbols you will find and staffs (letters/weapons/pillars) of power. Very large, solid staffs, the ones that gave poems of power and built the void before time and the kings of men.

>The second son of Odin is Baldr, and good things are to be said of him. He is best, and all praise him; he is so fair of feature, and so bright, that light shines from him. A certain herb is so white that it is likened to Baldr's brow; of all grasses it is whitest, and by it thou mayest judge his fairness, both in hair and in body.

>Old Norse also shows the usage of the word as an honorific in a few cases, as in baldur î brynju (Sæm. 272b) and herbaldr (Sæm. 218b), in general epithets of heroes. In continental Saxon and Anglo-Saxon tradition, the son of Woden is called not Bealdor but Baldag (Saxon) and Bældæg, Beldeg (Anglo-Saxon), which shows association with "day", possibly with Day personified as a deity. This, as Grimm points out, would agree with the meaning "shining one, white one, a god" derived from the meaning of Baltic baltas, further adducing Slavic Belobog and German Berhta.[6]

>comparison with the Lithuanian báltas ('white', also the name of a light-god) based on the semantic development from 'white' to 'shining' then 'strong'.[1][2] According to linguist Vladimir Orel, this could be linguistically tenable.[2] Philologist Rudolf Simek also argues that the Old English Bældæg should be interpreted as meaning 'shining day', from a Proto-Germanic root *bēl- (cf. Old English bæl, Old Norse bál 'fire')[4] attached to dæg ('day').[5]

It’s worth reading with the caveat that Duran often relies on primary sources without the skepticism of an historian. So there is a significant amount of nonsense in his work but it’s nonsense from primary sources, not his imagination

Would Hemingway like him?

I think it’s interesting how so many writers were obsessed with the style of a specific author, then eventually branched away to build their own legacy.

Pynchon had a long-standing Hemingway phase. McCarthy was a big Faulkner guy. Any other examples?

As we know, Nabokov hated anyone better than him.

Maybe I am. And? OP is completely wrong about what "destruction" means. He said that destruction = transformation, which is not. According to the law of conservation of matter, it cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed. If it can't be destroyed but transformed, and destroyed = transformed, then this is a clear contradiction in laws of physics.

According to Descartes, a good God proves that solipsism isn't real. But the God of the Old testament doesn't really sound like a good God, but the God of the new testament does
So how can I know if God is good? If God isn't good, then solipsism might be true, according to Descartes at least
This is like one of the reasons why I started looking into gnosticism, because it doesn't really make sense to me that the God of the Old testament is supposed to be good

I am 34 and 4 years ago I took the "build some shit on your own" pill and quit my dead-end job. I opened a shop for something I liked and it did (and does) good. I had enough to get a small but decent salary but I decided to hire somebody and open a second shop thinking I would wait a bit more before funneling some money to me. It opened last month and it's been slow. I am very frightened and growing impatient. I have not felt this shook since my teens. If it all works I will be good. If it fails I will be in very deep shit. I will do my best. Please pray for me, please, give me the strength, I just wanted to feel something and now I really fucking do.

I got tricked into reading it too. I've heard it gets worse.
As I understand it mistborn was fairly good and decently creative for young adult fiction, becoming especially popular in some online spaces into that sort of thing. Then the author was asked to finish the wheel of time and most fans appreciated what he did, making him as known as Jordan.
Because of that this series got more popular than it deserves. Loud online fans and personalities also love quantity for more content and Sanderson definitely delivers on that part.
I recall sort of liking the Shallan and Kaladin chapters. But the whole thing just felt so forced and uninspired, like he got the idea from a kid in 10th grade dreaming up their dream video game.

>"It doesn't make sense for two contradictory propositions to be true at the same time."
For some definitions of 'contradictory', this is trivially true by definition.

https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/contradictory

>1. unable to be both true at the same time
>2. of words or propositions so related that both cannot be true and both cannot be false

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/contradictory

Noun form, but still:

>a proposition (see proposition entry 1 sense 2a) so related to another that if either of the two is true the other is false and if either is false the other must be true

>>24733003
That's a nice argument. But how do you feel about being a faggot?

Their own books. Hegel did not deny the law of contradiction and his logic is not about ordinary life and objects, not directly anyway, but thought itself. And Aristotle gets the ball rolling by sublating apparent contradictions left and right, he was a huge influence on Hegel.

>>24732894
Idea that the principle of non-contradiction doesnt quite hold up once self-referentiality gets involved is not exactly a crazy exotic idea, its just Russell's paradox or the liars paradox or the omnipotence paradox or Godel's incompleteness or whatever you want to call it.

Not saying those problems necessarily lead to dialectics as Hegel formulates it, but once you start working with self-referential abstract concepts (which is ultimately the domain Hegelian dialectics is concerned with, not really the application of those concepts in practice) the principle of non-contradiction is no longer an obvious given.
