What was his problem? What's wrong with people using the ring as an allegory for the atomic bomb?
>>24862544>What was his problem?He was annoyed that people discovered he got the ring idea from Wagner.
>>24862544>What's wrong with people using the ring as an allegory for the atomic bomb?Maybe the fact that the outline of the story concluding with the destruction of the One Ring was completed in 1939, while the Manhattan Project wasn't created until 1942.
>>24862544HE DOESNT MIND THAT. HE LITERALLY SAID HE PREFERS 'APPLICABILITY' TO 'ALLEGORY'
>>24862544Now that the dust has settled and with modern cultural literacy can we agree bilbo was sexually abusing young orphaned frodo
>>24863945And so the ring represents homosexuality, a cursed relic passed from older pervert to younger

>>24860573> Most of the CIA is true believers in "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness," they're not just gonna let America as we know it get ended.Please tell us what psyop gave you this idea I need to congratulate someone.
>>24863852They hire a lot of good-boy Mormons. Snowden wasn’t a Mormon but he also was a constitution loving patriot,
>>24863852He is 100% correct. No coup is possible in America unless you purge the officer corps and the IC, which isn't going to happent. knower
>>24859478>rational arugment/logical coherence of ideology is what drives historyLol.lmao.If this were true Marxism would never have gotten off the ground with its fundamentally retarded ideas about idyllic primitive communism (soul crushing tyrannical absolute rule of the crowd by way of taboo).The dumber your idea is, provided it is sufficiently obfuscated, the better. Land and Yarvin are on the path to glory as advocates of the next retarded thing.
>>24859748>Chinese was always a man in a box?>Always has been.
Interested in seeing how posters on this board score in comparison to /x/, where the overwhelming majority seem to be schizoid sadists or complete autists living in internal fantasy lands:>The CIA uses the PAS for the assessment of characters, its self-assessment online form has 64 outcomes and doesn't sugarcoat anything, if you have bad luck, the test will call you out for being schizophrenic, a recluse, or worse.https://www.pasf.org/pasq/index.htm>To get your type among the 64, take the 'primitive' test first and then type your results into the 'basic' test and take that.The primitive personality type determines your core personality that you developed as a child, while the second test determines whether you outgrew that core personality to adapt well to society, or whether you indulged those core behaviours to become psychologically maladaptive or attain some kind of arrested development. It really does not pull any punches; while an MBTI test will only tell you positive personality traits and leave you to infer the negative, this one is the opposite. Depending on how you score, it will tell you that you're an exceedingly mediocre well-behaved citizen (one of the best endings) or have the profile of a serial killer, autistic shut-in or concentration camp guard.
>>24862298All of these personality tests say you are a maladapted socially autistic freak or psychopath though
>>24863735No, the e's have higher felony rates because they have more initiative
>>24862298It’s a literature board on an anonymous forum with a UI from 2003, what were you expecting?At least the people here can compose themselves enough to sit and read so we’re probably better adjusted than most of the other boards. For example, /k/ is infested/obsessed with trannies, furries, and schizos. It’s like every mentally ill person with a gun has congregated there and is desperate for attention

>>24863086Clinical narcissism comes from having a very sensitive ego. That's what is meant here. Genesis can come from traumatic devaluation in early experience, or, chronic overvaluation; a spoiled child. Or simple neurology.But the idea is, narcs do think highly of themselves, have grandiose visions, are entitled, etc. And they genuinely do feel this way. But, poke that ego, they often flip out and go scorched earth. A person with a healthy self concept, doesnt have a fragile ego like this. And has more realistic self appraisal.
>Thinks he's a pro at philosophy>Can't even get past Kant in Socrates Jones

>>24862718has there ever been a sane philosopher?
>>24862718>His face is ugly!Kek, you'll never get past Kant at this rate.
Dolores wasn't a heckin groomed abused victim, she was a knowing minx whore slut that knew exactly what she was doing and abused Humbert and exploited him, then left the only man that loved her so she could be a porn star and get pregnant with another mans child
>>24863187>>24863208Why do Americans get so hard filtered by the concept of a knowing, consenting, sexually aggressive child?
>>24863336they have forgotten the consequences of war in their homeland
>>24863336even adults are too retarded to "consent." that's why consent is a meaningless concept.
>>24863336As a resident Burger because we want our women to be retarded, esoterically speaking.
An older man can’t consent to sex with a much younger woman because he is rendered cognitively disabled by his lust,; therefore she is a predator and a rapist

>>24861483frvke (frog nvke)
>>24861483I don't see /lit/ do this, the whole "I'm into esoteric philosophy/literature but am also a poptimist that loves Kendrick and Beyonce" is more of a performance by grad students and junior faculty that don't want to be seen as out of touch elitists that only like dead white dudes.
>>24863876>don't want to be seen as out of touch elitists that only like dead white dudes.Do young adults outside of the autists in that one general on /mu/ even listen to impressionist and romanticist composers? Listening to music like that seems more niche than reading philosophy.
>>24863744Because I'm white. Don't worry though anon, it's fine if you say it of course
idkselling out and hitting the margins for general audiences is a pretty smart move
Is reading books a feminine hobby?
>>24862799TRVTH NVKE
>>24862664No lifting weights is
>over 50% of history book reviewers are femaleActually surprising, what periods of /his/tory are women usually interested in?
>>24862766yeah, without the ability to slice up the data we can only make very rudimentary inferencesI'd be very curious to see what things look like if we considered books by male authors only and disqualified all reviews by users with more than 1000 followers
>>24862664No, leaving reviews on goodreads about them is
I'm currently in a reading slump. Theses are the only books I've managed to read this year. What should I read next? What's the /lit/ equivalent of going to a bar coming home with a slump buster?
