Editors: The Writer's Natural Enemy by George RR Martin (1979)

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.

Christianity is such a cuck religion its amazing.

>>24732869
Christianity is the continuation of Judaism.
Just as Abraham's covenant follows that of Noah, and is followed by that of Moses, so does Jesus bring forth a new covenant, for Jews and Gentiles to follow. Those of the Jews who reject this covenant therefore branch off from traditional Judaism (now known as Christianity) and form their own sect. It's actually a great testament to the Bible to see how it correctly predicted that Jews reject their own Scriptures and God. All those talks of the Synagogue of Satan...

I've been samefagging in this thread and calling myself an anti-semite, lol. I was hoping for more responses, but there were few takers of the bait.

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.

And I detest Nabokov. Literally the only author whose book I threw in the trash.

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.

You'll be able to confront death while reading Aquinas for the rest of this miserable existence. Also kek.

Don't try to make a "study" of western thought/literature.

If you're naturally curious, you're mind will gravitate to certain questions or ideas, and you'll discover that someone has written a book about it: read it THEN.

If you read with some intention in mind (ie, understanding some idea or issue), it'll stick with you. Just going through the motions of "reading an important work" isn't worth shit.

>>24732642
No you

Just chiming in to say I'm glad there's a thread about actual reading here. Even just for the sake of the mental exercise Aristotle is worth it, but also of course for the foundation of much of philosophy after.

>>24732627
>and hopefully my statement makes sense here
>Is that like saying the infinite simplicter cannot exist as a substance because it would be necessarily limited by the account of its essence?

I think so. Moreover, based on what I read on On the Soul, Aristotle seems to think that intellect (including human intellect) is potentially able to apprehend all the forms, and this apprehension implies that the intellect, which has no form by default, adopts the form of the apprehended concept. But, of course, it couldn't adopt the form of infinity, because it has no form, and this is something we can test internally when trying to think of infinity. So its lack of intelligibility is an additional sign (not a proof, though) that infinity can't be a substance.

However, I'm not as sure of this as with my previous post, I'm no expert in Aristotle, so take it with a grain of salt.

Aristotle be doing dat greek maff wit lines an sheiiiit

>>24732627(me)
>Maybe I should include the whole paragraph.
I guess the point of the paragraph is just to say there can't be an infinite regress of forms/formal causes.

Why do people say that there can be infinite unmoved movers? Is it that the would each correspond to their own seperate universe, or would they all be in the same universe?

i bought one because they're the only e-reader available in my country for a reasonable price

they don't get dusty in a shelf and don't take any space, also makes it easier to move to other places without carrying a fuckton of books.

Also e-readers in general allow you to read in the dark without a LCD screen fucking your eyes up

I wonder if books about saving books are an entire genre. I've been thinking about how Fahrenheit 451 basically tricked readers into feeling good about themselves, because the point was that (you) were already saving literature in a way by reading f451.

Thats a good question. I havent thought of it in that way. Kind of like a positive reinforcement.
