All 5 literary scandals of 2026 involving the use of AI have been non-white writers

Pangram has single-handedly given literature a stay of execution. It's a miracle it exists. The day a chatbot figures out how to outsmart pangram is the day ltierature dies.

So the displacement of whites will continue at a faster rate?
>>
>>25590438
I don't get it. You can copy your AI-generated text into Pangram and then gradually edit it to the point where the detection rate gets low. Voilà, you have used Pangram to evade Pangram. It just takes a moderate amount of editing that could even be automated.
>>
>>25590501
In other words, no one knows how many published texts have already been to a significant degree generated with LLMs. Pangram might as well only show you the tip of the iceberg.

Nabokov, Vladimir. Not fond of him. Mediocre prose stylist, vapid and vulgar. A shit critic, unimaginative professor and rampant pedophile. Some of his scenes are extraordinarily raunchy, and the rest are uninspired. Means nothing to me. Nobody takes his criticism seriously.

He only really cared about lepidoptera. The only thing he really took seriously. Chess puzzles were his favourite "hobby". Writing was his line of work, just so happens he was really good at it. In a way he was a very simple (as in, elegantly and clearly structured) man.

Every writer is focused on making a good sentence 95% of the time. Critics think it's about authoring some intricate blueprint and then backfilling it with words until it exists away from the plans. That themes or an "idea" or some inescapable propulsion that comes from a muse is what the book really is. Writers are sometimes happy to let them think that. That's never what actually makes a book though, it's just one person putting down one musically sound sentence after another. The meaning is emergent and requires no special care or attention from the author to be present, to be apprehendable, or to be especially potent. Not making awful moment to moment sentences to be read is what takes work.

>Also, Mormon theology was refuted by the infinite regress argument, no such chain of Gods creating eachother could exist without one root uncaused God which Mormonism denies. If you believe in that crap you aren’t cut out to be discussing serious metaphysics like Guenon/Vedanta.
Mormonism teaches no such thing, that comes from idle speculation found nowhere in LDS.
You’re argument to “refute” Mormonism is idiotic and substanceless - all you are saying is God must exist for there to be Gods. You say, divinity must come from uncaused cause - but the uncaused cause in Mormonism is the primordial intelligences which is have no beginning and so have no end (Schopenhauer makes the same argument as Joseph Smith in this regard and says this is why we do not fear death, because our essence is uncreated by any God and so has no end)
Mormonism is schopenhauerian, and therefore atheistic in a certain sense, with the major difference being principium individuationis is primordial. The problem of evil, which nullifies classical metaphysics, as you would say “refuting” Guenonism, does not exist in Mormonism because God is not “all-powerful” (that concept of infinite power does not exist).
In regard to infinite regress, which again is just an idle speculation with no spiritual gravity in Mormon discourse, LDS hymn states:
“Do you think that you could ever,
Through all eternity,
Find out the generation
Where Gods began to be?”

>The delegation, present in full force, consisted of Commendatore Bacibaci Beninobenone (the semiparalysed doyen of the party who had to be assisted to his seat by the aid of a powerful steam crane), Monsieur Pierrepaul Petitépatant, the Grandjoker Vladinmire Pokethankertscheff, the Archjoker Leopold Rudolph von Schwanzenbad-Hodenthaler, Countess Marha Virága Kisászony Putrápesthi, Hiram Y.

All the delegates without exception expressed themselves in the strongest possible heterogeneous terms concerning the nameless barbarity which they had been called upon to witness. An animated altercation (in which all took part) ensued among the F. O. T. E. I. as to whether the eighth or the ninth of March was the correct date of the birth of Ireland’s patron saint. In the course of the argument cannonballs, scimitars, boomerangs, blunderbusses, stinkpots, meatchoppers, umbrellas, catapults, knuckledusters, sandbags, lumps of pig iron were resorted to and blows were freely exchanged. The baby policeman, Constable MacFadden, summoned by special courier from Booterstown, quickly restored order and with lightning promptitude proposed the seventeenth of the month as a solution equally honourable for both contending parties.
