Just stop thinking
Then you'll laugh with us all
Just stop thinking
Then you won't sense the fall
But you'll soon be tugging on drenched ropes
Through mud, in trenches, you scour for hope
“Pain is for winners” -- broke the prized fake
Easy now, there's a safe way out
But it’s not our way to take

Why does it look like a mind map that would be hung up in a detective's office in a 1940's noir film?

I think it's because of shorter attention spans and instant gratification from social media and constant use of electronics.

Public education is a sham and all that's required is rote regurgitation of the materials - overassigned - which never allow for one to have the time to explore one's interests, and never do anything in depth to satisfy a happenstance intellectual passion. Zoomer's are their Gen X parents children-- it's bullshit and not for the overwhelming mass of them.

Universally Preferable Behaviour: A Rational Proof of Secular Ethics

For thousands of years, humanity has attempted to enforce ethics through supernatural and secular punishments; this rabid aggression has been both necessary and ridiculous. It has been necessary because a rational proof of secular ethics has never been achieved; it has been ridiculous because it is impossible to imagine any scientific or mathematical argument being advanced in such a hysterical and violent manner. “Ethics” has been one of the great government programs of history; since kings and priests ruled mankind, only those philosophers who served their interests tended to get promoted to prominence, rather than imprisoned, poisoned or burned. Thus, over 2,500 years since its inception, the discipline of ethics remains largely subjectivist, relativist and cultural – and was not only unable to restrain, but may have played a part in promoting the horrors, wars and genocides of the 20th century, the bloodiest hundred years of history of our species. Stefan Molyneux, host of Freedomain, has written "Universally Preferable Behavior: A Rational Proof of Secular Ethics,” which presents radical and rational arguments for a non-religious, non-statist, entirely secular set of ethical standards which validate the non-aggression principle – thou shalt not initiate force against thy fellow human – and the fundamental logic for respecting property rights. Rigorous, analytical and challenging, “Universally Preferable Behavior” provides a solid foundation for secular ethics. This book solves the ancient philosopher Petrarch’s dichotomy, which is that it is better to will the good than know the truth. Armed with the arguments in “Universally Preferable Behavior,” you can both know the truth and will the good.

Secularism isn’t really real. it’s just a religion of consuming that which god had given to past generations for their hard work.

if just engaging with the media isn't sufficient frankly you probably just don't have what it takes.

if you really need help starting with the greeks would probably do it (as well as discussion of them) they are the most analyzed "pop culture things" ever. that and understanding the unity of an artifact and how it's parts relates to the whole etc.

literally just think about the different parts and repeated elements and how they relate it's not hard you just have to be actively engaged with it

CTMU is a confidence trick put forth by a narcissistic social engineer (i.e. conman) that tricks retards into perceiving their own intelligence as elevated via attaching it to promotion of his supposed genius (kind of like The Emperor's New Clothes).

I thought the general consensus is that the tiger poem is as good as the genre gets.

>>24628287
>The tiger
Strong opening, immediatelty sets the scene. One draws parallels to Julius Ebola’s ‘riding the tiger,’ the primordial man, man as a beast, a force of destruction.

>He destroyed his cage
Alright, back up, this is a massive revelation. So now we know that the Tiger was previously in a cage. Man trapped under the physical age of modernity, of sin, of decadence, it could be defined as a mental prison of the Kali Yuga. Nael is brilliantly displaying the destruction of the mental cage set upon man in the form of a tiger. The tiger has channeled his karmic wrath and destroyed this prison placed upon himself.

>Yes, YES
It’s almost like a grand cry, as if a man just completed a ritual and is proudly exclaiming at the result. This is what it feels like to reach gnosis, to read freedom. The man (Tiger) is rising, in constrained by the cage of modernity, fore it has been destroyed.

>The tiger is out
And there we have it, man is unleashed. The way it’s written makes it sound like an inevitability. He is now free to pursue his will across an open plane. Free to build, free to create, but also free to destroy. He is the tiger, and he is out.

There are literally places that sell “books by the foot”.
Generally, the books are used by Hollywood and stage designers to fill up sets, also by interior designers to fill up bookshelves.
Usually, you don’t get to choose titles, but sometimes you can choose general subject, or certain soecific publishers, as well as paperback or hardback, size, spine color. Etc.

>>24625143
Others have suggested used book stores, but I also highly recommend library book sales. The books are often older, perhaps many are of poorer quality as well, in the latter, but the prices are unmatched. For example, every book at a library sale cost me $1 to buy, whereas the used bookstore I frequent sells books at 30%, up to 95%, of the original price.

>>24625143
Maybe an estate sale?
You never know, they might have a carboard box full of books.

thrift store literature sections, sometimes fiction sections if the employees are retarded

>>24625143
ebooks are the cheapest and easiest way to get everything you want. You can wait for deep sales or just pirate them. Most of them have built in note taking capabilities. There isn't any easy bulk buying option aside from wishlisting what you want to read on Amazon and waiting for a sale. You should finish the unread books you have lying around your house before fantasizing about ways to buy more books though

please elaborate. I've wondered for years if slop was just YA, or just webnovels, or just anything without enough description. I need to know the true nature of slop. It's made me stop writing for want of finding the true nature of cringe, edge, slop, all these terms. Are things just doomed to fall into one of the three categories after 20 years? Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Red Dragon, both successful but criticized for being edgy. Will I just end up being the same inevitably?
