what do you think about the death of the novel? has this literary form run its course?
A lot of authors wrote for the joy of writing, and not for the approval of a literati clique or monetary wealth.

After reading and loving Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, I wanted to delve more into Arthurian literature. I keep seeing Once and Future King recommended, but I'm wary because it's a (((modern deconstruction))), is it actually good?

>>25346361having kids because "its what we're here to do" sounds incredibly irresponsible but i guess if it werent for people like you humanity would not continue
>>25349334>sounds incredibly irresponsible How so? I am middle class, university educated, live in a safe area, work and make decent money, had an upbringing free from abuse (therefore am not continuing a cycle of abuse), I am healthy with no disabilities or genetic abnormalities, I am white, as is my fiance, and I am sober and have been for 2 years. What factors here could lead to a child living a bad life outside of the factors of existence that are completely outside of direct control? The only real measure of fitness or unfitness to have children through irresponsibility is whether or not the child will suffer unduly as a result of your circumstances and nature. Wanting to have children as a result of both biological drive and a rationalised form of purpose in life is not irresponsible, and it is definitely not "incredibly" irresponsible. If I was poor, a victim of abuse, possessed a hereditary disability, lived in the third world, did not have stable income, was uneducated, was addicted to drugs and or alcohol, and was driven to have children because I felt it would give me purpose, that would be irresponsible. But to decide it is irresponsible while not possessing any information about my genetics, environment, and personal circumstances is just silly. Are you some kind of anti-natalist? Are you a victim of the propaganda that tells Europeans not to have children because its bad for the environment and you are dooming your child to suffer in this "terrible world" of climate change, meanwhile the average thirdy has a birth rate of 4+bpw.>if it werent for people like you humanity would not continue Precisely, and there are fewer and fewer people like my fiancé and I, because educated White Europeans have been propagandised into being childless; through a combination of economic and social decline either don't believe it is feasible financially to have children, or now don't believe they want children. This in turn results in only the White lumpenproles and browns are actually having children, and the former still at a much lower rate than the latter. This constitutes a crisis for the existence of people of even middling to slightly higher than average IQ living in the Western world, alongside the catastrophe of ethnic replacement. So maybe (if you're white and of even average IQ) pull your finger out and form a plan to start a family within the next 5-7 years.

That's nice and all but I never even get a real phone number whenever I approach, nevermind any chance to treat anyone kindly or loving anything. I'm more or less ready to throw in the towel but unfortunately that doesn't soft the whole "no children" mental spiral so idk. I guess just keep trying and getting rejected like your local Mormons until I just can't feel anything, and just stop hoping for the best. Sad too because I used to be one of the "just get a hobby bro. Just work on your finances bro. Just work out bro." which to be fair actually does work...for like 3 years before the pitiful state of your romantic life comes knocking at your door again eventually and suddenly the 90 pounds lost, the fables stock portfolio and 6 hobbies just feel empty but yet completed. Then the real killer isn't just feeling empty, but some girl showing up, and flirting hard and giving you all the massive signs to break your deeply learned cynicism...just to get rejected anyways like you always do. Then you just sit there just feeling dumb and know if you're flawed somewhere but never really able to pinpoint why like the "kick me" sign that you can't ever seem to find. Sucks but it is what it is. At least there's other things in life I guess. So I guess it's just that. Just do stuff and occasionally get rejected then you're 50. I know you want it to be hopeful or you want me to tell you to give up or give some advice but I have nothing. You might as well listen to some Twitter guru who sells you 40.00 dollar self help books because he's just about as credible as me. Just do yourself a favor don't go blaming women or society or yourself or something. Just say you don't know.

What are Kant's actual views on faith? Everyone knows what he says in the preface to the second edition of the CPR about limiting knowledge to make room for belief but elsewhere, especially in the third section of the Groundwork, he speaks of freedom (and hence by implication God etc.) as something that can be demonstrated from reason. Because we have reason that transcends experience our causality is free, and reason itself can effect the division between appearances and things-in-themselves necessary for us to 'know' our freedom. The only thing that makes freedom not-knowledge is that we can't know anything about it in itself. In the Dialectic on the other hand he speaks of it as something that we are merely allowed to think of for practical purposes. Usually people present Kant as an agnostic who leaves you the option to believe in freedom and this certainly is how he sounds in the Dialectic but in the Groundwork he sounds quite different. There is another relevant passage in the CPR in the section on the transcendental ideal and the cosmological proof (in which he permanently BTFO's all retarded Godproofs and assblasts zoomer tradcaths into all eternity): "The transcendental object which forms the basis of phenomena, and, in connection with it, the reason why our sensibility possesses this rather than that particular kind of conditions, are and must ever remain hidden from our mental vision; the FACT IS THERE, the reason of the fact we cannot see." In other words the transcendental object is not something we 'believe' in, we must posit it logically, it's just unknowable in itself, and it would seem he wants freedom (hence God etc.) to be like this. But then how is this not knowledge?What did Kant mean by faith and what is the relation between faith and reason, especially practical reason, for Kant? This has always confused me about him, he seems to vacillate between language of faith alone and language of rational demonstration; in the second critique he seems to vacillate back and forth from page to page honestly. Fichte, on the other hand, makes belief in freedom an absolute choice that is prior to thinking.
I believe in what I know and know what I believe in: the transcendental aesthetic.
