There is (or at least was) an Ignatius statue on Canal St in New Orleans, it was cool to see.

They are:>honest and unabashed in their resentment for the world and their place in it, as opposed to repressive, seeing a side of Eru that others do not. Perhaps experiencing transcendence and self-forgetting in the glory of battle>have a love for destruction in a world that already resolutely tends toward its own destruction>disruptive to the hedonic lives of morribund decadentsCan we really say that their lives are based on a mere privation? Can we really say that their society is dysfunctional when it quite clearly persists so tenaciously? Do they not instead embody their own vital, living principle? Or are you too much of a pussy for dynamic dualism?

>>25125768In a way they're the antithesis to Numenorians or Elros and 'half-elven'.
>>25124856dude thats more imberassing
>>25125768yeah that's a good shout desu, although i wonder what that means for their ultimate fate? As far as I'm aware there's no 'hell' in middle earth, so are the Uruks destined for 'heaven' (or its equivalent in Eä) as all men are?>>25125771yeah this is a good observation too, will keep this in mind for future reads

I think he's a hateful conniving homosexual sex criminal, drug-ruined mental case, and inveterate liar, but also a genius. What say you?
>>25124460The Beats were beatniks and vice versa.The "-nik" suffix just means "agent," or "person," and is applied to proponents of various social movements. See also "peacenik," "refusenik" etc.
>>25124536Desolation Angels is essentially the sequel to Dharma Bums right? Because DA picks up while he's still on the mountain in Washington state. I skipped a lot of the poetry in that book.
>>25126058no idea, havent read it
>>25123986Soft Machine is a great book, I agree. Really funny, and its composition is surprisingly mature and fluid.You’re not gonna get much out of the retards on here, though. Bunch of loudmouth boobs that get filtered by the cut ups.
>>25126254Thats what i think. Its great stuff
Are we supposed to be egoists who don't have any integrity or care about anything? Everything seems comically immoral and evil. No one cares about anything other than monkey-instinct-level socialization and there is only decay and apathy or trauma. I'm clueless. Everything seems like either a cope or feigning ignorance about how bad and evil the world and people are. In any political spectrum. It seems like a blessing to die.

>>25120673idk about jünger but to lump nietzsche in with warmongers is lunacy and exactly the thing he warns against in the majority of prefaces he ever wrote. the man was a medic for god's sake. he had no love of killing or warfare. anyone who says otherwise, is laying value judgements over a disinterested genealogy
>>25120952too much cope, i dont advocate for christian morality or anything. i just wanna live the life my grandfather had without all this cia programming
>>25123462wise words, exactly what i'm talking about perfectly illustrated, just in this small observable scale of a 4chan post

>>25126216Why, 12 Rules for Life — An Antidote to Chaos by professor Jordan B. Peterson of course. Check it out!
>>25126216The book of common sense
>For more than thirty years, those zealous for a certain orthodoxy in Catholicism have denounced Jean Borella as a supporter of that most pernicious of Christian heresies: “gnosis.” Here he responds to his detractors — not to refute their baseless accusations, but to set before the eyes of readers the intricacies of a very complex topic. To this end, he retrieves and contextualizes findings from the history of religious ideas that attest to the scriptural foundation and rigorous orthodoxy of what St. Paul himself calls 'gnosis' — a gnosis, however, freed from the Gnosticism that usurped its name. He also distinguishes this truly Pauline gnosis from its various modern expressions, which latter are subjected to attentive critical examination.>There are many brilliant and penetrating passages of this book that can help Christians to see 'gnosis' in a new light, more akin to the way St Paul and Clement of Alexandria saw it. Here are two such examples from Borella that I find particularly convicting and inspiring:>We would be wise to remember Clement's comment in his Stromateis, Book V: "For gnosis of the divine substance is the eating and drinking of the divine Logos">Hegelian philosophy essentially transforms itself into a "speculative recording chamber;" "it confines itself to noting what becomes, in order to save it conceptually; it represents one of the greatest degradations of thought that one can imagine; it makes the philosopher the servant and even the slave of the 'spirit of the times.'Has anyone read this book?

>>25124066Serious analysis of Christianity sends one shopping for the truth.Centuries of them have been splintering away from the Roman approved slop. It will continue till the last Pope.
>>25124079>Centuries of them have been splintering away from the Roman approved slop. It will continue till the last Pope.they've splintered over multiple issues and not just from Rome, your reductionism of church history is what's actually slop
>>25124642>He needed a couple of chapters autistically spewed up hereI'm not autistic though.
>>25123915It's a good book, he also deals with Guénon (who was the first accused of gnosticism by trads) and how he does indeed have a tendency towards a gnostic form of knowledge, that is knowledge for the sake of knowledge alone, while he contrasts that with Clement of Alexandria's view of knowledge/gnosis, which is one through faith.
Antonio Lobo Antunes dies at 83
>>25124801Yes, and Saramago has a book called Journey of the Elephant, that was the joke.

>>25125840I was in the process of looking up if that band that the kid is referencing in the meme had Jappified the name Gilgamesh when 4chan went down for 6 hours. I found out that they are named after a Final Fantasy character which is almost certainly a jappified version of Gilgamesh.
Is it over, /lit/ bros ?
>>25113649It would have stayed at 4000ish but the redditors and discordtroons who would post on every board to evangelize the chud masses finally just gave up a bit after the last election.You don't see them post on /his/ or the alt-/v/ boards much anymore either.Now we just have genuine commies/anarchists who are a bit racist or edgy, but they come to enjoy a little bit of baiting/shitflinging for its own sake, you really don't see the old sort of thing where there are ten of them astroturfing a disco elysium thread.
all 4chan seems overall slower after the whole captcha thing, which I don't know, seems overblown, like, jannies are definitely often a pain in the ass especially on certain boards, but the mechanism by which the more you post the easier they get is not a bad choice while still maintaining the account-free nature of the site in the era of advanced bots, perhaps it was done too late and was badly timed after the hack had already dealt another blow to the place
>>25113649As far as I know the whole place has slowed down in the last few years. Sure, the changes in the captcha and the hacking probably accelerated the decay, but I think it was something inevitable regardless; even in a fast board like /v/ some threads can last for a day or two nowadays—that was an extremely rare occurrence only 2-3 years ago.I don't post a lot in general and only come here every few days or so, but compared to other boards that I used to frequent, like /his/ or /x/, I believe this place still has some ounce of "quality" (or any other adjective similar to it, if you find that world a bit undeserving) left, so I'd enjoy it while it lasts.
>>25114025Now post an updated version.

Anyone have a pdf of mountainhead or the worm? been wanting to read them for some time. second hand listings for both have sky rocketed recently and I can't find one anywhere although i believe an anthology of his work is coming sometime this year.

What does /lit/ think about Stephen King?
>>25122718Writes by the poundCan't publish anything without extensive editing because he has no real storytelling abilityLooks like the biggest pedo ever
