Here's an IA generated draft of what could be, after some real work, an interesting alternative to the SwtG meme. Ignore the small text riddled with hallucinations

You lived through the age of love, a type of golden sex age if you will.In no previous time period could a man have sex with such fervor and with such great ease.In the east communism kept people in strict order and behind an invisible moral wall. Climbing up the hierarchy truly did require exception looksmaxxing skills especially social ones. The communist block would see a brief glimpse of opportunity for 2 generations, yet it would also be plagued by western elites abusing the falling system for their gains.In the south the african ways have never changed. Sex is shunned and crushed by a violent R-selected collective. Reproduce fast, die young, even if external factors don't demand it their genes will drive them to idiocy.In the islamic world a more orderly violence remains but sex is still mostly reserved for marriage or limited to truly rich individuals.In the far east with rare exceptions the asian blood demands obedience and limited sexual liberty so having casual sex there is rare.All of these people have some sort of reason to claim the conditions brought them down.But you, who lived in the West, you can truly say "we experienced an unprecedented age of sexual freedom and easy love"That time is coming to an end. Years of sex recession are coming. Some say years of high austere measures against casual sex will come with them, others claim a total clamp down on casual encounters and non-contractual sex.Either way there will be less opportunities to have sex, all major platforms will be hit, hoeflation will rise and porn that was in abundance before will now be limited if available at all. There will be less venues to look for sex and some online venues like Tinder, now deemed the pinnacle of easy love, will become obsolete.
AI is autistic and doesn't understand sarcasm.A new age of sarcasm will be born. Already had with woke compelling speech resulting in no one meaning what they say.

Where to start with him? Parerga and Paralipomena enough?
I never expected volume II of his magnum opus to be as approachable as it is. You can read it like Parerga and Paralipomena.
>>25129577Schopenhauer explicitly recommends and gives a specific reading order.
>>25129599Recommendations are not the same as strict reading orders, which would be necessary in natural sciences. He's warning the reader as to what he's getting into.
>>25129643No he literally insists that you know the material well or else shelve the book, he is an autistic stemcel at heart.
>>25129914He's 100% right. This is one area where Schopenhauer's skill in writing can harm the reader. He makes his philosophy appear simpler than it is because it's easy to read. If you haven't read Kant there are countless paragraphs in Schopenhauer you will be misunderstanding and skimming, and telling yourself you get the gist of it and the "vibes" so it doesn't matter.

>>25129448>King's mother. Literally one job.Even using your logic, do you think Robb is going to believe Cat when she tells him that Sybell Spicer pimped her daughter to Robb to get the marriage JUST to violate Robb's vows to the Freys, a vow made in the privacy of The Twins that you're assuming a Westerlander would know about? Cat already freed Jaime, where do you think her credibility sits at this point in time Robb will believe her? He already ignored her about Theon before she freed Jaime.>>25129448>As we know from Robert, that's exactly who you want commanding an army.Right, the invincible hammer in the battlefield is the biggest authority on strategy when his wars consisted of running headfirst into soldiers while the two great lord friends of his father did the work of gathering the allied armies fast enough to show up in the nick of time to save him at the Battle of the Bells.
>>25129663Jon x Sansa subplot.
>>25129784Which plot was that
>>25129788The subplot when they played with the idea of a Sansa x Jon x Danny love triangle for a while. It was a big thing at the time.
Is Young Griff being left out of the show an indication that he won't be particularly important? Just one more enemy for Daenarys to defeat on her way to Westeros?
>Prose poetryThere is no such thing, some things are just mutualy exclusive.If it doesn't have a rigorous meter, or at least a fluctuating one that follows certain second order rules, it's not poetry.
>>25129884Imagine, if you will, that this a translation. Would you guess it is a prose translation of a poem? Even when verse is translated into prose, you can almost always tell it's poetry without knowing beforehand
>>25129915So what is it?
>>25129927See>>25129904It's polyphonic prose
If u can't rhyme Then maybe don't do poetry next time.
>>25129934Great poem!
Any books that deal with chronic masturbation and the pursuit of constant dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphin hits?I believe this is a healthy expression of high testosterone-fueled libido.
>>25129817Philippe Brenot, In Praise of Masturbation
>>25129860Thank you. Will have to check that out
>>25129817It may be good for now but some day a wind from nowhere is going to steal your potency and if you got used to the "easy life" then it's a dry and miserable season in your glands... when the potency is gone. That leads to lashing out and making stupid decisions and being sour grapes in your middle age when you start to have trouble starting it up.
>>25129860Masturbation doesn't produce oxytocin.
Remember when books about bad people could get published because readers didn't automatically assume the writer endorsed their actions?
>>25126340I heard it's a bit excessive but I heard Morrison's Along The Path of Torment is really good
>>25126464Exactly, if you describe how to torture and murder someone in excruciating detail (or whatever), it's more of a "What the fuck is wrong with you" reaction.
>>25126086The thing is, it's more common than you want to believe that they do. Recent examples are McCarthy and Gaiman.
>Five years after the 1973 attempted coup d'état, Forsyth's research was subject of a feature story in The Times, which posited he had commissioned the operation in earnest; many people believed he was planning a real coup d'état in Equatorial Guinea. According to UK National Archives documents released in 2005, in early 1973, several people in Gibraltar were planning a coup d'état against Equatorial Guinea, in the manner described in The Dogs of War. Spain arrested several mercenaries in the Canary Islands on 23 January 1973, foiling the plot.>In 2004, in a copycat plan based on Forsyth's book, a coup d'état intended to secure lucrative mining rights granted by a client puppet government was attempted. The plan involved Mark Thatcher, who was intending to trade on his mother's (former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher) connections and reputation to call favours, and the mercenary Simon Mann, who subsequently stood trial and was convicted.>In Ken Connor's book How to Stage a Military Coup, the author praises The Dogs of War as a textbook for mercenaries.Based or cringe?

Am I being a schizo? How come there is no end quotation on this paragraph?
My trans girlfriend was telling me about this.
>>25128721because you touch yourself at night and the world is filled with masturbation and romanticism, for this reason the quotes go unbalanced year after year until the world is filled with opening quotes and attracts the moon to slam into it by dipole interaction

holy shit i forgot how bad sf is

One need not fall into a state of pious adoration at the sound of superrational poetry, which resembles verbal musical scales and exercises and which is perhaps useful to pupils, but entirely inappropriate to the platform. At any rate, it is quite clear that to substitute the exercises of the “superreason” for poetry would stifle poetry. But Futurism will not go along this line. Mayakovsky, who is unquestionably a poet, takes his words generally from a standard dictionary and very rarely from Khlebnikov or Kruchenikh, and as time goes on, Mayakovsky uses arbitrary word-forms and neologisms more and more rarely.The problems raised by the theorists of the “Lef” group about art and a machine industry, about art which does not embellish life, but forms it, about conscious influence upon the development of language and systematic formation of words, about biomechanics as the education of the activities of man in the spirit of the greatest rationality, and therefore of the greatest beauty – are all problems which are extremely significant and interesting from the point of view of building a Socialist culture.Unfortunately, the “Lef” colors these problems by a Utopian sectarianism. Even when they mark out correctly the general trend of development in the field of art or life, the theorists of “Lef” anticipate history and contrast their scheme or their prescription with that which is. They thus have no bridge to the future. They remind one of anarchists who anticipate the absence of government in the future, and who contrast their scheme with the politics, parliaments and several other realities that the present ship of State must, in their imagination, of course, throw overboard. In practice, therefore, they bury their noses before they have hardly freed their tails. Mayakovsky proves, by complicated and rhymed verses, the superfluousness of verse and rhyme, and promises to write mathematical formulas, though we have mathematicians for that purpose. When the passionate experimenter, Meyerhold, the furious Vissarion Belinsky of the stage, produces on the stage the few semi. rhythmic movements he has taught those actors who are weak in dialogue, and calls this biomechanics, the result is – abortive. To tear out of the future that which can only develop as an inseparable part of it, and to hurriedly materialize this partial anticipation in the present day dearth and before the cold footlights, is only to make an impression of provincial dilettantism. And there is nothing more inimical to a new art than provincialism and dilettantism.
He has been eternally relegated to a hoi4 reference and will achieve nothing more.
how come I've never seen this masterpiece discussed or even mentioned here?
>>25128300Can you give me the act and scene it occurs in? I can check my French copy and give my best attempt.
>>25129755Um, it's the first word
>>25129783chandelle verte is not the first word, retard. But I also haven't read Ubu Roi in years so I'm equally retarded for not recognizing that as Père Roi's random absurd swear. Every time he says "par ma chandelle verte" it's a reddit quirk chungus thing he does. Yes, Ubu Roi is proto-reddit.
>>25129853Um, i would like to clarify that I was not that anon who replied, and am not in fact retarded.>chandelle verteReminds me of a diseased boner, maybe. Only thing i can think of. Otherwise the catchphrase is just nonsense i guess.
>>25129853Your post could just as well have been replying to his Merdre comment…
Books that prove that love is the way?
>>25127954the way of spooking you? The Unique and its Property>For intercourse with human beings, among all who live religiously, a specific law is placed above all, one whose observance people probably forget at times, but whose value they never dare to deny; this is the law of —love, to which even those who seem to fight against its principle and hate its name have not yet been unfaithful; for they also still have love, indeed, they love more deeply and sublimely, they love “the human being and humanity.”>If we formulate the meaning of this law, it will be something like this: Every man must have a something that is more to him than himself. You’re supposed to put your “private interest aside,” if it is for the welfare of others, the good of the fatherland, the good of society, the common good, the good of humanity, the good cause, and the like! Fatherland, society, humanity, etc., must be more to you than yourself, and facing them, your “private interests” must step back; because you’re not allowed—to be an egoist.
>>25129704Its not! It doesn't follow the archetype you see with Achilles and Alexander. His name is always around whenever Alcibiades is mentioned, though.Aristotle once said that we know everything about Achilles, but about that man we would not know much about him.I suppose he was prepared to become Amon.
>>25129702Going by cursory search, Agape it would seem to be. I trust that Mettā of the Buddha is it >>25129214
>>25127954Fallen angel, so you would think he would know about original sin, something he shares with Adam and Eve.
>>25129342If nothing is woo woo then everything is woo woo.If there are no objective standards of better and worse then everything is good and everything is evil, that is—nothing. And you fail to have a standard to judge anything as anything.

Any other good podcasts on medieval, Islamic, Patristic, Platonist, or even similar branches of Indian or Chinese thought (e.g., Neo-Confucian metaphysics)?I found this one, strangely named Dogs with Torches, which only seems to be on YouTube, but it has a ton of guests I recognize. It's actually operating at a deep level, going into people's research, rather than the surface level stuff you often find. For instance, the host got Moevs' for Dante, which is great, and a bunch of John Deely (RIP) and Eric Perl's students.I figured there might be others. I did find the defunct PatristiCast which seemed to get a similar quality of guest, but I can only find a fraction of the episodes and the audio quality is like an AM radio station for some reason.Pic related also does some straight history stuff a bit on Islamic thinkers, but there is a pretty big focus on the Thomistic tradition.
Anything by Richard Rohlin Plenty of videos by Anthony PageauOr simply just read the Discarded Image
>>25128865I like the Discarded Image quite a bit, but that itself is fairly introductory.
