>>24751585I hope for you this is bait.You act as if changing the demographics of your town, city or country is a small thing. It's too big to erven write in a post like this.The West has a problem outside of immigration, but mass migration kind of makes it so there's no going back. The culture there cannot be revived because the people in the country are not from it.
>>24750721i love to read books that feel banned but often i find the reason the feel that way is because they are in very poor taste.
>>24763267Why did you list the shitty remake of LOGH instead of the original which is actually complete?
My favourite book is Crime and Punishment, my favourite game is Silent Hill 2, my favourite movie is Eraserhead. Gimme recs /lit/.

>>24763643>>24765938Someone guy in his 20s who cites Crime and Punishment as his favourite book is much likelier to listen to Joy Division than he is to listen to Tchaikovsky. That's the comparison and the point is that the liking of either of those things is fake. I'm not sure how you missed the point I was making. Perhaps retardation?
>>24763089What would a "coherent" taste look like?

Are there any philosophers who have espoused views similar to the Jigsaw from the Saw franchise i.e. that you have to be put in extreme life-threatening situations in order to gain appreciation of life?

>>24754421I’m a dentist and I don’t buy it. Firstly the water fluoridation in most NA communities is naturally low but it is high in Europe and other places, which is partly how we figured out fluoride prevents decay in the first place. But depending on local the strength of the teeth will vary.Secondly the front teeth are less likely to get decay in anyone so you could see a 3rd world dude with a nice smile and not notice he’s got giant cavities in the back.There is some truth to the fact that corn syrups and even the easy available carbs in modern diets result in more decay but you could just brush too you know. Ancient teeth are all worn down from all the dirt and the the guy usually died from infection and food borne illness.

>>24764926>He's sort of like the last remnant of the boomer new age typesHe's what people used to call hipsters. He's not wearing it in the OP but if you look at the getup of him and his co-host over time, it almost completely tracks with most aging hipster dads once they started to wear more black. It does not help that he uses the word "normie" with no self-consciousness.Also this guy often recommends books he admits he has not even read yet, and also recommends contemporary non-Western stuff that will probably never matter.I think the only channel I keep watching is Write Conscious / Literary Renaissance, and the few channels that /lit/ anons have.

Weekly World News ed. Weird fiction & sci-fi/horror welcome as well :)Old: >>24702117
>>24767257Werewolves and mummies are not that popular in horror literature; they got their popularity in horror films. (Werewolves are a bit more prevalent in contemporary horror literature, but sadly I'm not that well versed in recent works.) Witches and vampires are very big in horror books, from the very early classics up to contemporary fiction.I know more about early horror, so I'll go chronologically with some classic/important vampire fiction:John Polidori - "The Vampire"Aleksey Tolstoy - "The Family of the Vourdalak", "The Vampire"Sheridan Le Fanu - "Carmilla"Robert Louis Stevenson - "Olalla"Bram Stoker - Dracula, "Dracula's Guest"M.R. James - "Count Magnus", "An episode of Cathedral History"Algernon Blackwood - "The Transfer"Post war:Richard Matheson - I Am LegendStephen King - 'Salem's Lot, also "Jerusalem's Lot" and "One for the Road", both from Night ShiftAnne Rice - Interview With the VampireComment too long.

>Silence of Ghosts by Jonathan Aycliffe>The Fisherman by John Langan>Starve Acre by Andrew Michael HurleyNone of these were scary. 90% of the plot of each novel consisted of some dude moping about his personal problems. Are there any folk/pastoral horror books that are actually scary? I want to read about monsters in the woods, not some guy bitching about how his wife died.
>>24767257Vampire Hunter D has a mix of those. I am not sure if it is weird fiction. It is horror-sci-fi-fantasy blend maybe dying earth
Poppy Z Brite is a tranny and I can't read anything by a tranny.

A good book is not constantly incomprehensible to 99% of readers. This is a bad book.
I honestly prefer Inherent Vice, Bleeding Edge and Against the Day to Mason&Dixon and GR. I think his later stuff just "works" better
Gravity's Rainbow is not a good book. It's enjoyable, but it's not a good book.To be great you must risk being terrible. The same arm which extends to catch the ball can also drop it. Also, it's just obscure, not incomprehensible.
>>24766603I appreciate these little "could be real" asides that tie the absurd to reality and vice versa in the novel. Reading GR does feel like experiencing the mind fuck world as it exists in a hyper real sense. In all its nonsense, decorum, slapstick, truth and falsehood, reading what you just wrote made it take a different shape in my head. We're supposed to be nauseous and confused because its some funhouse mirror of post-ww2 paranoia and power struggle

Look I'll be real with you. I spent years reading theology, philosophy, buddhism, all that shit. Thought I was being so intellectually honest by deconstructing everything, making sure my beliefs could survive scrutiny. Built these elaborate frameworks where God is process and persuasion, where everything has to fit with science and logic. Felt smart, felt mature.But here's what actually happened: I lost the ability to just pray. Like actually pray, not "contemplate the nature of divine persuasion" or whatever. My grandma would just talk to God like he was there and it *worked* for her. She had peace I couldn't touch with all my philosophy books. When her husband died she didn't need a theodicy about divine suffering and consequent nature, she just knew God was with her. And she was right, in the way that matters.All that intellectual honesty? sometimes it's just cowardice dressed up. Couldn't handle the vulnerability of simple trust so I made it complicated enough that I never had to actually surrender anything. Kept God at arm's length where I could examine him safely. The philosophical God can't actually demand anything from you because you're too busy revising the metaphysics.Yeah simple faith can be brittle, can be manipulated, whatever. But philosophical faith can be sterile. Can turn the infinite into a concept you masturbate over. At some point you gotta ask am i trying to understand God or control him? Because if your faith needs a PhD to function maybe you've missed something really basic that a kid can grasp.Not saying everyone should be simple believers. But for me personally? the complexity was cope. Just fucking kneel, anon. The rest is noise.
>>24767099>>24767102Just peruse the /lit/ archives on warosu for Whitehead threads. I also recommend checking out /x/'s archives if you're feeling extra kooky.

>>24766690>Try mysticism.Pls no OP doesn't have the IQ
>>24766839Plato and Pythagoras did think everything was numbers and god was a mathematician. The difference though is that Platonist think numbers exist and are out there and Einstein thought they were just words.
>>24765010>When people were dumber, it was easy to strike fear in them by talking about "heaven" and "hell." But now that people are moderately intelligent, "hell" is replaced with "nihilism."Before: >the priest says x is not real, thus it's not. Hallelujah!Now:>the science man says x is not real, thus it's not. I fucking love science! Atheists are cattle the same way a medieval peasant was. On another similar hand, uni professors keep saying that if you don't believe in democracy or mass immigration bad shit is going to happen, and people are so scared of satan-hitler that they paint their hairs pink, get fat and cut out their genitals (self flagellation).
My parents are from Africa and South America, but I was born in Germany thanks to the Jews. Honestly, the quality of literature the Germans produced is unmatched in this world. If you don't speak German, there's no way you'll ever truly grasp the aryan essence of the works of Nietzsche, Stirner, Schopenhauer, Kant, Schmitt and Schiller etc. Sadly, even most modern Almans don't respect the cultural heritage left to them by their forefathers. There's just something about the German language that cannot be replicated or translated. Even Hitler's speeches just don't hit the same in English. The Germanic language allows you to be much more creative than English or Spanish. You can construct sentences spanning entire pages that are still grammatically correct. A seasoned German author can produce written German that flows much better than an English or Spanish writer could. German is the best language for presenting ideas, no cap. There are infinite ways to say the same thing in German, which is useful for describing things precisely, something the Germans are known for. Its a paradoxical interplay of creative freedom and precise rigidity. When I was a teenager and learnt English, a whole new world opened up for me. Thanks to all the Anglo media I was now able to consume, I was able to broaden my horizons tremendously. The same would be true for non-German speakers if they learnt German. Should you elect to eschew the acquisition of proficiency in the German language, your cognitive faculties will be constrained in their capacity forever. What a shame.
>>24767423Nietzsche hated Germany and thought Schopenhauer's writings were best read in French. Victoire française totale.
>>24767495>Nietzsche hated GermanyNietzsche hated everyone and everything. Yet his writing was pure Aryan and Germanic in essence, even if he denied that. I haven't read Schopenhauer in French, but if the French translations are superior to the original German texts, you could still argue its because the author was a brilliant native German speaker.
>>24767423I unironically feel sorry for foreigners who talk like American blacks. That is meta levels of cultural cuckoldry
did bookchin believe his ideas are possible in reality? i'm reading the philosophy of social ecology and it's great and interesting and all, but a lot of the solutions he offers imply a significantly higher average intelligence and equality among the population.
It's not even a meme, the absolute state of the femoid is just a void. She unironically has no soul, no self, no real will. She's a metaphysical NPC running on a script of pure necessity. That's why she's completely alogical and amoral, incapable of understanding concepts like justice, truth, or even guilt, because there's no inner "person" there to be accountable. Her entire existence is fragmented, she lacks a continuous memory or a unified identity over time, which is why she has no desire for immortality. What "self" would there be to preserve? She's not a "being" in the same way a man is, she's essentially just matter without form, an ontological nullity that has no intrinsic value, no dignity, and no relationship to anything absolute or real.
>>24761698I don't see your point here, not all mothers are benevolent, and not every child was planned, in fact it may be the case that a benevolent mother deciding to have a child is rather rare.
>>24760993just a follow-up on Palingeni Stellato, how did you read it? I’m not seeing a plethora of editions or resources. Thanks in advance.

Recommend me some good apocalyptic literature. The older and more sublime the better. Could be religious or just regular fiction.
I liked Between Two Fires. It's newer, but the setting is old, France during the Black Death. It's not great but it was an enjoyable read and good apocalyptic medieval horror.Or there is Bakker's Second Apocalypse which is sublime but slow to get into.
>>24766741Thank you anon, I will look into these
>>24766626Swan Song by Robert McCammon.Down to A Sunless Sea (original ending) by David Graham.Sixty days to live by Dennis Wheatley.All good reads.
Post some really good poetry! I want to learn from it :3
A heron stood still by the bog,Eye fixed on a luckless green frog.With a snap and a bite,It was gone from the sightJust a ripple remained in the fog.
