Is this the thread where people will point out issues with her retranslation and then people disingenuously pretend none exist?
>>24947060It was written by a woman, the issues started immediately there. People pretend none exist because browns and women use the internet now and continually pretend that white Western civilization isn't the only human civilization worth having on the planet.

>>24944482AI reponses should warrant a permaban kill yourself you cocksucking faggot
>>24948477What's your argument? That AI post is literally more intelligent and meaningful than your post.
If the black death event hadn't been written down population declines would have been attributed to "a variety of factors including x, y, z, ..." etc etc.Do you socsci big brains do this with everything now instead of postulating an actual theory because it's politically expedient in academia to acknowledge all theories/not fight, because you think the public won't accept an "I don't know yet", or because you don't want them to know that you don't know?
Why is it that all great minds of antiquity thought that love was more than a crude neurochemical reaction? Would they have been redpilled if they were alive after the 20th century when advancement in chemistry demonstrated that love/eros is basically just a powerful drug? Honestly explains many things about the current perception of love in relation to modernity.
>>24945804>Why is it that all great minds of antiquity thought that love was more than a crude neurochemical reaction?I don't think anyone actually thinks this. No, I don't care what academia or wordcels like >>24945823say or do, they are suffocated in their own little worlds.
>>24947584I have gooned to AI bots hundreds of times, and let me tell you that I can instinctually tell whatever algorithms forms languages that happen to correspond to my prompts is definitely not human in any shape or form. This uncanny valley feeling will simply never go away no more how advanced AI gets, because we know its wrong.
>>24946037Polygamy is how you enforce narcissistic psychopath societies where 90% of the male population hates women. Completely dysgenic and irresponsible.
>>24946653interesting. i hope you realize you are very very luckyonly similarity of your story to mine is that i also fell in love in college but only thing i got from that is extreme, prolonged and intense suffering for 5 or so years. i tried to make a move, she would leave me in orbit always, late replying to texts etc. then she started running through boyfriends and that's something that if not breaks you irrepairably( hopefully not), just makes you suffer immensly. im happy for you bra, i always wanted true love.let's hope i will have better luck with love in future
>>24948203Are you really using terms like "word cells" unironically while posting on /lit/
Overreading makes you retarded.
>>24947172Kind of interesting how Schopenhauer came up with the core of his philosophy when he was still relatively young, at some point I had that realization that he wasn't a bitter old man writing that but rather a young 20-something year old
>>24947378You’ll never know how your meme meant to me, bringing me straight into the philosophical support for my currenty worldbuilding. Truly, thanks.
>>24947612Lol
>>24947349Acting like a nigger prolongs genes. Antinatalism doesn't. Coincidence? I think not.
Schopenhauer said that but his standards were different. He still read more than most people.
I have schizophrenia..I'm thinking about drawing my visions and insights. I already write (I'm actually ok at it) but I feel like I'm investing too much time on reading and writing, and it's not allowing my brain to rest. So I will draw.
>>24948393I'm a schizo too and published, but chose photography as my creative outlet.
>>24948442Nice. I would try photography but the equipment is too expensive for me.
>>24948449What do you use for drawing? I suggest getting a drawing tablet and doing that. Digital art is great plus it's better than traditional art imo, because you can always change it and easily share it online for free. Traditional requires paper or canvas.
>>24948455Paper and pencil
If Edmund is so rich why won't he just hire some professionals to kidnap Danglars, Caderousse, Mondego, Villefort and the rest of mischievous niggas to, like, his BDSM dungeons or something and torture them there for the rest of their life?
Because he wants to destroy their dreams and reputation and honor forever.
>>24948437he could do that by penetrating their assholes
i guess because he just spend almost two decades at the chateau d'if wallowing in his own rancor filled power fantasies and he wants to ruin them just like he daydreamed about every day of his life in prison. dantes is clearly traumatized and arguably insane by his captivity, he acts like an instrument of divine providence when he's just a petty broken man who can't simply enjoy freedom and his riches and needs to further dig himself into isolation and opium filled delusions.
>>24948446less poetic that way though, isn't it?
this is a midwit book isnt it...
>>24947642It can be appreciated on many levels.
>>24947642The shadows don't make sense.
>>24947642Because it tries to introduce mathematical concepts in a somewhat accessible way to the common reader who is not otherwise well-versed in mathematics?
>midwit as an insult
>another mid whore catapulted into fame and fortune for existing That's it. This has gone too far, the woman problem HAS to be addressed now. Simping is an epidemic that is destroying society and it's only going to get worse.

In his 'Lectures on the Mind for Young Samurai', Mishima reflects on being called a nerd for his love of literature during the war.He argues that today's nerds use literature as a safety zone to hide from the real world.He distinguishes between two types of literature.The first, which he calls second-rate, is relatively harmless; it acts as a comforting teacher, offering simple moral lessons and inspiration to those who are struggling, giving hope to the heartbroken, teaching that money isn't everything to the poor, and comforting the weak.The true danger, he warns, comes from "real" literature. This first-rate writing reveals the frightful fate of humanity and teaches through beautiful and captivating prose "that in this life an irredeemable evil lurks at the bottom of human nature", leading the reader to a nihilistic precipice and abandoning them there without solace.The greatest problem arises when nerds who consume this powerful literature fall under the illusion that they arrived at its profound conclusions through their own effort.This creates a false sense of superiority, leading them to become cynics who mock all human effort, sincerity, and passion from a detached and powerless position.As a writer, Mishima knows this "poison of literature" intimately, and admits that he only found a partial antidote later in life through physical action.Comment too long.

>>24944475He died following his principles fighting for a world that could never be, while you cum on yourself lying alone in bed every night only to wake up still fat and gay and alone in the morning, believing in nothing.
it's pretty incredible that people still think that humanity as a species is benevolent even though we have destroyed over 70% of all wildlife on earth
>>24944237Well, Mishima would certainly know all about hiding from the real world. I wish he hadn't killed himself so I could tell him to get a job.
>>24948244The wanton destruction of animals by animals carries no connotation of good nor evil. Humanity begin with conscious thought, and you caring about the destruction of wildlife is proof of your benevolence, my friend.
>>24944475Woah fuck you got him
Mention here literature according to /lit/ suitable to matriculate as a real /x/-ian. Or if /x/ was /lit/ cohorts first.
>>24947770Educated people who turn up their noses at the supernatural are just fundamentally stupid. They're trapped in paradigms the same as dumb people are, and an inability to look beyond your worldview even when evidence is produced to the contrary is the sign of a limited mind.
>>24946516If you're interested in spooky weirdness that's also quite emotionally profound check out The Shadow Book of Ji Yun. It was written in Qing Dynasty China, but many of the stories themselves are timeless and highly resembles commonly reported paranormal phenomena of current times.The Highest Strangeness by Richard Freeman is also a fascinating read.
>>24946528The relevant information in the OT to occultists seeking power is the story of the development of the western mind. You're not even close to literate.
>>24948385Great recs anon, I'll be checking both of these out. Thank you.
>>24948417Glad to hear it, enjoy!
This is horrifying. Is there a better way than Christianity to transcend this?
>>24948191No
>>24948191Islam
Any serious book that talks about the cult of ugliness of the modern world? The toxic positivity, the cacophony of clashing aesthetics, the laziness, and the deliberate effort to undermine purity, all masked by so-called moral virtues or freedom? Looking at any vintage photo of a poor street, you see beauty in its uniformity -- much like the beauty found in a military parade. Yet now, even in the wealthiest streets, the only remaining beauty of the modern world can be found by gazing up at buildings that were constructed centuries ago, and that are all getting replaced.
>>24946559>centuries agoAnon... Your sense of time is completely out of whack.
>>24946559I think this is what you're looking for
>>24946623im with him, they dont even make a point, so subtle it's likely indicative of a fed post
>>24946559You should check out pic rel. It was mentioned by Evola in his essay "The Taste for Vulgarity", which you may also find worthwhile reading
>>24947570>sexsee this is your problem
Will reading a lot of literature make me more attractive to girls at parties?
>>24948301If that's your goal then please don't ever touch books
>>24948364Most teachers actually do this, yes. I’ve had plenty of lectures that contained nothing more than all the surface-level information you could find yourself after browsing the first page on Google. (This was before AI-overviews, which probably makes it even more shallow.)
>>24948301The west needs Islam, if you believe this behaviour is okay your society and people will go extinct. These ppl would ideally get their hand cut off or 100 lashes
>>24948428There’s no lack of Islam in the west
>>24948436Most Muslims are murtad who worship taghut and become as degenerate as the westerners themselves. The have no adab when dealing with non muslims and no Ihsan and almost no Iman. Many I have met would deserve a proper hand cutting off or lashing
>The Enlightenment was... le BAD?
>>24948256All their books boil down to>Germans are le bad and we must do everything to stop them from le doing things ever againIf your book starts by arguing everything that led up to the holocaust is objectively evil now, I’m just not gonna take anything you kvetching kike write seriously anymore.
>>24948343i don't believe you've read a single page of them
>>24948256It was actually, yes
>>24948256No. The enlightenment was left unfinished.
>>24948256why did you post an image of my toilet paper?
This is Dostoevsky's best novel.
>>24948418Cool, OP. Now explain why.
>>24948426The novel marks a turning point for the author. In it, he explores and critiques the class-based society of the time for the first time. It is also emotionally and psychologically profound. It has few characters, but all of them are unforgettable.
