What's the most cutting piece of dialogue you've ever read/heard?
The Farshnuke is the literary creation of a famously semi psychotic British man named Alexander Gordon JahansIt's his self insert cannibalistic murderous godlike figure. It's his bizarre sexual fantasy writ large.Here are some of his fictionshttps://farsh-nuke.blogspot.co.uk/p/things-what-i-wrote.htmlWarning: some disturbing content
>>24733328He was really happy about Charlie Kirk
>>24733338Not surprised
>>24733370It's shockingly inhuman for someone who pretends to be a moral paragon
>>24732345This guy used to go by the name "kantbot", right?
>>24733434Haha no
It's possible to write a novel that visualy looks like a zine?
>>24732358dunno the year of it.
>>24732313NTA, but in that case, I'll repeat what I said from the last thread. I have heard about zines. I heard zines were made and produced at places like Kinko's back in the day. But I work in a large print-and-mail store chain and have NEVER seen anyone make a zine. Usually if someone needs something printed out it's because it's some zoomer, boomer, or non-white who doesn't have a computer with a printer, and almost always paperwork. Well, there was that one furry who needed what looked like a nametag with his fursona for a convention, but things like that are few and far between.Is this an obsession you have with the past or is my location just a cultural dead zone? Both can be correct.
>>24732386haha im not even op and trolled u into writing all that and i didnt even read it. epic win 4 me lulz
>>24732246Go for it. >>24732386Zines were done at places like kinkos back in the day when most of the people making them did not have a computer. The style comes from doing the typing on a typewriter and assembling the completed page collage style which is then photocopied. In these days of cheap laser printers and computers, there is not much reason to go to kinkos to make your zine. Even back in the day it was common to do them at school/work for free. Either way, people who make zines probably don't go to malls.Indie bookstores and music shopes still have zines but zines are mostly local so they will not have them unless someone local is making one.
Aren’t you the guy who asked if you could make a video game into a novel? The book placeholder was called “Water we doing to our planet”

>>24733392I would miss you if I ever knew you.
>>24733388Socially maladjusted people tend to project their behavior on others. Meaning that, if your family was anything like I imagine it is, they pretty much taught you misanthropy-lite for the day you were born.I suggest reading about narcissism, narcissistic parenting and complex ptsd. Even if you or your family don't fit those criteria, reading about it will challenge some views you have about others and the place they come from.
>>24733409>from the dayFix'd.
>>24733409>Socially maladjusted people tend to project their behavior on others.This stupid line of thought always irks me. It's ass-backwards. It's belief in the One True Behavior™
>no metaphysics>no mention of collective action>idea of indefinite historical stagnation
>>24732233I worked with a guy who read that book. He would read it it at work and his reactions were so similar to you post I cannot stop laughing. >IT HAS SWEAR WORDS ON THE COVER BRO!!!>HOLY FUCK, THIS GUY ISN'T PULLING ANY PUNCHES AND WILL BE DROPPING TRVKES>*bro starts reading*>"you just gotta carry on carrying on...">hell yeah dude>bro, thats so deepListening to him talk about the book as he read it is still one of the most fun literary experiences of my life. The problem is, after reading the book, he continued being the same black-head as before.
>>24732162Holy fuck! Check out these fucking awesome books to teach you how to fucking take control of your life and stop giving a single fucking fuck what other people think!
>>24732466This is a work of art lmao.
>>24732466www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvlTJrNJ5lAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4N8lzKNfy4The "me vs. the world" narrative is a cultural expression of hyper-individualism, the self-interest maximizing agent who is in an de-facto war against all others to maximize game points.It's adversarial dynamics projected onto the metaphysical.
>>24732234>but looks are #1 priorityTo be fair, yeah, I would agree that looks are number 1 priority. But I also agree with what he said about how looks are supposed to be reflections of your inner state. Being alright with yourself can push you to take care of yourself (and your looks). That, and I don't think Models was supposed to be an actual "dating book" as far as "getting a girl" is concerned. It's more of a self-help book about being honest with yourself and being alright if you don't get the girl (while still having the confidence to try again with another one). All while having a fairly fulfilling life.
I question God everyday even thought I claim to be a Catholic
>>24733365Evidence <> proof. But Christfags like to gloss over that.
>>24732649Most pious Catholic.
>>24732649God doesn't like people who tempt him. You're on the level of lucifer.
>>24732930It's more like a found object since Moses found Yawheh among the Midians in the Sinai, where he was a bloodthirsty volcano god.

who comes to mind when you hear "elegant prose"?
>>24733030This.
>>24733065Aristotle
>>24733030Clark Ashton Smith. Some of his short fiction is pulp slop, but I'll be danged if his prose poetry isn't some of the prettiest prose I've ever seen in my life.
>>24733030>The fundamental defect of the female character is a lack of a sense of justice. This originates first and foremost in their want of rationality and capacity for reflexion but it is strengthened by the fact that, as the weaker sex, they are driven to rely not on force but on cunning: hence their instinctive subtlety and their ineradicable tendency to tell lies: for, as nature has equipped the lion with claws and teeth, the elephant with tusks, the wild boar with fangs, the bull with horns and the cuttlefish with ink, so it has equipped woman with the power of dissimulation as her means of attack and defence, and has transformed into this gift all the strength it has bestowed on man in the form of physical strength and the power of reasoning. Dissimulation is thus inborn in her and consequently to be found in the stupid woman almost as often as in the clever one. To make use of it at every opportunity is as natural to her as it is for an animal to employ its means of defence whenever it is attacked, and when she does so she feels that to some extent she is only exercising her rights. A completely truthful woman who does not practice dissimulation is perhaps an impossibility, which is why women see through the dissimulation of others so easily it is inadvisable to attempt it with them. – But this fundamental defect which I have said they possess, together with all that is associated with it, gives rise to falsity, unfaithfulness, treachery, ingratitude, etc. Women are guilty of perjury far more often than men. It is questionable whether they ought to be allowed to take an oath at all.”

>Calypso offers Odysseus immortality if he will marry her>he still says no even though he admits she is way hotter than Penelope Why?
>>24733375She didn’t directly keep him captive though, she saved his life and he was just stranded and she wouldn’t aid him in figuring out how to traverse the ocean. Presumably as an immortal sea demigod that wouldn’t be a limitation for him
>>24733314genuinely what's the point of putting on a hijab if you're gonna slather your face with whore makeup at the same time?
>>24733397It's like how there are Jewish group where the women are supposed to cover their hair so they wear a wig over it.
>>24733397Most Muslims who put themselves out there on video are usually not very devout. Many of them fear that videos and photos taken of them could be used by evil magicians and thus take care to limit exposure (we probably should aswell).

Any books that disprove this meme?
>>24732894Idea 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.
the principle of non-contradiction applies for objects, and abstractions of objects. That's why getting rid of it completely destroys all of mathematics and everything that rests on it, i.e. all of science. It doesn't apply for subjects, which is what anons ITT have already hinted at. Aristotle says as much when discussing substances (which are subjects), and how they can admit of contraries.

If the universe is a simulation, does our existence still have meaning?
If the universe were a simulation, then argumentation would be impossible, for knowledge is required for argumentation, and knowledge requires a self which can't be within a simulation.
>>24733202Consider the paradox harder, until you apprehend my meaning.

Now don't be a meanie and spoil it.I bought it after having read Anna Karenina- well it's been some years since I've read it. I don't know if it's the specific book I've gotten but I'm already faced with a bunch of French passages and translations in the footnotes. A bunch of despicable boring nobles. I should know better than to ask, but it gets better right? And when it does, it's not simply about war, is it? There ought to be some peace as well?How does it compare to Anna Karenina is what I'm asking.
>>24733325>Anna Karenina. Incomparable prose artistry. The supreme masterpiece of 19th-century literature.>War and Peace.A little too long. A rollicking historical novel written for the general reader, specifically for the young. Artistically unsatisfying. Cumbersome messages, didactic interludes, artificial coincidences. Uncritical of its historical sources.
>>24733355I don't mind the length. I wouldn't say that your criticisms are what I thought to be the case but I welcome them and thank you for your input. I suppose AK started with a bunch of nobles frolicking around just as well, but there's something about high class dinner parties wherein the author doesn't ridicule the characters which turns me off from reading.
