According to Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats died from negative reviews of his poem.>The savage criticism on his Endymion, which appeared in the Quarterly Review, produced the most violent effect on his susceptible mind; the agitation thus originated ended in the rupture of a blood-vessel in the lungs; a rapid consumption ensued, and the succeeding acknowledgments from more candid critics, of the true greatness of his powers, were ineffectual to heal the wound thus wantonly inflicted.

Who was the best Hamlet?
>>24120450>Certainly not Burton, absolutely awful as Hamlet.Burton's is probably the best Hamlet performance we have complete on film. I agree he wasn't well suited to the part, but every other actor of his stature, like Barrymore, Gielgud and Scofield, we only have clips or recordings from. None of the later performers measure up to the sheer skill and charisma of these actors.
I'll take Ben Whishaw. Whishaw's performance is, I suspect, the one old hams will be reminiscing over in 2050. >>24120483Jacobi and Rylance are much better Shakespeareans than Burton, at least at the time they recorded their Hamlets
>>24120234https://youtu.be/rC2mPaOfJmI
>>24120522>Jacobi and RylanceLiterally some of the most atrocious Hamlets that I've ever seen. Even worse than Branagh. Jacobi foppishly prances around like he's satirising the part, and Rylance plays Hamlet like he's a liberal arts student rebelling against the system. I just watched Wishaw, and he is somehow worse than all of them. You clearly know nothing about the speaking of verse or what great theatre acting entails. The reason theatre culture is dead is because it gradually ceased to produce talent or be entertaining by any measure at all. Now the only people left who watch theatre are those who, by way of their brains being so absurdly ill-constituted, actually enjoy modern theatre acting as a 'style' in its own right opposed to traditional theatre acting. What they do not realise that modern theatre acting is not a style, but a lack of a style, a putrefaction of traditional theatre acting. No one is going to be reminiscing over Ben Whishaw in decades to come, because he's garbage.
Why do many great writers fall into the category of being a chud again?
>>24119902Shakespeare was a Chud for his time too. So was Dostoevsky, who mocked the liberals of his time more than once (both in Demons and Crime of Punishment, he did so very explicitly).
>>24119905Dostoevsky sucks though.

Since when did being a healthy heterosexual male become a fetish? What man doesn't fantasize about women submitting him to the degree that a slave submits to a master? What normal man doesn't think that in a sexual context obedience and a desire to please are one of the primary feminine virtues?
>>24117185Based!
>>24116936Norman: dominant male who is secure in his masculine existence while also respecting women with their different wants and needs. Wants the challenge of conquering a tough independent female and making her not only serve him but enjoy it too.Gayman: seething incel who alternately worships women and hates them for the power they have over him. Wants to take away women's freedom so he can do whatever he wants, regardless of her feelings, without any effort or conflict.

So, anyone here actually read this? Is it good? As is, does it make you feel bad good or does it make you feel bad bad
>>24119319its probably ones of those "so fucked up its funny" kinda books if im gonna guess.
i like edgy stuff but this one just sounds silly to me.
is this like the bovine answer to equus?

Just finished this, my first Houellebecq novel. Brutal book. Houellebecq creates a bleak but accurate description of what the rotting corpse of the West looks like post-sexual revolution. The ending was a bit strange, I'm not sure what I think about it yet. The only major drawback is that at times it's way too pornographic; that could've been completely left out and it wouldn't have hampered the story.
I am starting to see a positive change on this board, just a few years ago everyone would queue to suck his cock irl because he wrote yet another book that is just >>24119829 or >>>24118841
Fucking americans get outta here with your puritanism. The fucking conceit that when sex can be left out without hampering the story, then it should be, get a fucking grip man. It is a normal and important part of life (though it may not be of yours LMAO).
>>24120083It is never normal in his books, half of his characters are coomers
>>24120096No they are just French. Most burgers don't realize this but the extreme levels of guilt and weirdness about sex are really an American phenomenon that sets them apart from the rest of western culture.

Anyone here read this? Haven't gotten round to it yet but I've been getting into some economic history of thought and I started reading "The Legacy of Piero Sraffa Volume 1". As a former Marxist economist I'm slightly intrigued by a revisitation to the Classicals, most notably Ricardo, because I understand the general thrust of the labour theory of value, however I am also partial to the Austrian criticisms - the criticism I think it most valid is the heterogeneity of labour argument from Bohm-Bewark. However, it seems the same problem can be applied to Neoclassical economists who take the homogeneity of capital to be given (and indeed this seems to be the main thrust of Sraffa's critique during the Cambridge Capital Controversies).Anyway, let's have an econ thread with some more high level ideas than the 50th Marxism post
I’ve tried to dive into economics multiple times but it always turns into dry dead ends. Will this book allow me to finally get into it?
>>24119538Fml image didn’t upload
>>24119178>the criticism I think it most valid is the heterogeneity of labour argument from Bohm-BewarkWell it's a theoretical unit of account. The "benefit" the classical economists saw was it's an actual general input contra something just for economic settlements ("currency") or existing as a feeling ("utility"). Really you don't even need that argument. Bohm-Bewark had some idea extra value appeared from somewhere but he claimed it emerges between what something's worth now and in the future and no one is exploited today because prices are always fair. Marx claimed extra value exists between what works worth and what it's paid today in aggregate already.>However, it seems the same problem can be applied to Neoclassical economists who take the homogeneity of capital to be givenIt's not just neoclassical economics. Basically all definitions of "capital" are gibberish and it's not just about substitutability.https://bnarchives.net/id/eprint/259/2/20090522_nb_casp_full_indexed.pdf
>>24119215Amazing that guy has almost a million followers. We really do live in the age of charlatans
>>24119538although this is a "history of thought" thread, if you really want to get into economics I wouldn't recommend a book covering the history of thought. it's unfortunate that a lot of the normie-angled econ books are on behavioural, rather than macro, since I find behavioural econ pretty boring and more to do with psychology than efficient allocation. it's a meme at this point but Why Nations Fail is a good exploration of institutional econ, plus the first chapter of An Alternative Handbook of Monetary Economics (the rest is quite technical). and finally for a good account of mainstream thought I'd rec Blanchard's "What do we know about Macroeconomics that Fisher and Wicksell did not?" it's a good paper that covers modern findings that contradict prior intuitions (or prior contradictions of intuitions).>>24119402yeah, just getting into the sraffa stuff it's hard to discern how much is others blowing smoke up his ass vs. how much it should actually be taken seriously. I'm sceptical but I do feel like the Cambridge Capital Controversies have gone largely ignored, and the post-Keynesian school has shifted away from Sraffa and Robinson in a way that makes it feel like most have just forgotten. plus based simply on skimming the wiki article I get the impression that the Americans did concede they were in the wrong (mostly Paul Samuelson).
