Wonder what kind of good luck is coming my way

Why do you keep posting variations of this bullshit?

Everything you see is yours. A mountain, a railroad track, a creek, a dandelion. A pretty girl! It's all yours, you just don't realize it yet but you will. It will be there waiting for you. You are constructing your own quantum universe as we speak. Just by reading this, you are interacting with your quantum self. There is a version of you that is aware of all other versions of you-and their ultimate fate. This is hard to explain but what you look like to me isn't even what you really look like and the converse is true, too. I could say I look like an ape to you but I have no clue what an ape looks like to you. I never will. It's just a word they we agree on. It's like how if you even give a void a name, it is no longer a true void, for now it has a name. A void doesn't even have that. Your eternal status quo isn't as important as you think, even though it's really stubborn and hard for you to break. Those people who can break a status quo easily I truly envy. Your heaven will be awesome to live in. It will have no limits that you can perceive. I'm telling this to you so you too can ruminate on it. Even if your subconscious thinks about it, you are expanding your boundaries. There is something on high calling to us and knowing that for sure, terrifies me somewhat. Two organic molecules can't together and formed all of life on this planet. Ask yourself why. What would be the simplest reason for that when the odds of that happening are so great they boggle the limits of human imagination. The odds of that happening are greater than the number of atoms in our whole universe. I could write out the actual number but none of you believe me. Everything you see is yours

>>25164130

You will have everything you see someday under your fingertips and none of this world will matter, even time. The heat death of the universe won't matter. The orbit of Jupiter won't matter. The death of the dog you have had since 3rd grade won't matter. You just might be happy someday. I hope for it everyday because you aren't as bad as you think you are and deserve some slice of happiness that isn't tied to money, status, looks, belongings or anything at all

>>25164150
I had a dream last night that i met this dude who is a music wizard. He showed me his incredible skills on some futuristic synth. I was hesitant to start a band with him so he went on to form it with someone else. Later he sent me letters about his adventures with the band and i sent him letters too, i think he needed my help with something.
The whole dream felt very deep, pleasant and cathartic.
What could all of this mean? I guess it could be how im too hesitant to try things, but honestly IRL the only people i passed on for being in a band were literal satanistic drug addicts and literal basket cases. All the other people rejected me.
I guess i should watch out for new opportunities so that they dont pass me

What other boards do you frequent? There are many I used to frequent, like /mu/, /o/, /a/. I did try going on /mu/ recently but it’s just awful these days and they discuss k-pop slop. But these days, I only come to /lit/. I’m just less interested in discussing the topics relevant to each of those boards these days as I am literature (though half the threads here don’t even pertain to literature)z

>>25164181
Co, mu, x, tg, pol, tv, v and wsg. Sometimes gif for the fight threads which are awesome

>>25164190
>/co/
>/pol/
>/tv/
>/v/
These seem really unpleasant to be in. Isn’t /co/ just people talking about web cartoons? /v/ is just… /v/, same for /pol/. And /tv/ I’m sure has some fine threads but I don’t know, I’m not really into tv and cinema.

Sounds like a nine inch nails lyric. I might sound like a pseud but I always preferred Foetus.

>>25164199
Yeah I watch less than 25 hours al of film a year and I will go whole years with 0. It's an uninteresting medium to me with spikes of good to great stuff here and there. I mostly go there for recs then I never utilize. But! I have one hell of a backlog. Co discusses comics and cartoons, too. I love Heavy Metal the movie. It's not thought provoking in any way, it's just comfy. V is just for finding out v related news. Pol, I'm a political minded person, somewhat centrist like a lot of Americans. I go there for a national temperature so to speak. They're really angry -so am I. Plus, they will get news happening before the major news outlets. Their opinions are unhinged, yes, but at least it's unfiltered. I also like sci and a few other boards but I only listed the ones I visit daily and make threads on. I make threads here on /lit/ that never gain any traction. Never. The only thread I ever made here that went anywhere we the "I read 1600 pages a day" threads but no one believes me. I don't mind

You can't even prove you're not a subhuman.

>>25164207
It is a NiN lyric, I do believe

>>25164211
I do suppose you’re right with the spikes of quality cinema has, I used to enjoy films and such before I started reading, I just find them a waste of time these days, as for /pol/ honestly, the only reason I’d go there is for a laugh, considering the insanity of them. I’m not politically minded myself, but I’m sure an average left leaning individual would consider me racist and fascist or something, because I say nigger. And Heavy Metal eh? Never heard of it, /co/ and everything to do with comics and cartoons is so far out of my knowledge I couldn’t tell you anything to do with it, I’m sure they’re unpretentious there though. Video games? Sure I play them now and again, I’ve been to /v/, it’s full of very annoying people who often dont do anything outside of play video games. And yeah, sometimes, your thread has to be provocative on /lit/ these days to get any replies, look at the catalog. I make a few, some on philosophy, which get maybe 4 replies, others on poetry, which get more. And the last one that got a fair amount was a book cover one, just for a laugh.

>>25164207
both are good, Nin has better production tho

>>25164233
Thirlwell has that DIY thing going for him that for me makes him more entertaining, the band God are pretty similar there, but they’re heavier.

>>25164219
It's the truth and the truth is all there is, quite literally. Everything else is a fiction. So really, it's what YOU tell yourself. I'm ok with the truth and always have been. The truth has existed since the beginning of time. You should try crying about it

Hey I made a book cover thread too! Those are fun. Sometimes I'll see a book that I forgot I had read and have an ohhh, that was really good moment.

In uni (and high school to a lesser extent) I cultivated a carefree mysterious image because I'm too weird to fit in with normal people and I hated myself in middle school for that. The image worked decently on most people, and amazingly well on those who are sensitive to that (often fellow lost bullshitters), especially as I got better at it. It wasn't all bad, it got me a good internship, a gf, and a bunch of other things. But it never ended well and as time passed and I had less and less to show for it due to having become 100% committed to that image and working for it rather than any reasonable plan, it altogether stopped working on anyone interesting, and started feeling extremely hollow.
But I didn't realize I was doing that, I couldn't stop, and seeing myself take terrible decisions at unpredictable, usually important moments, and not being able to do anything about it made me more and more extremely neurotic and depressed, intermittently, to the point where I could go from laughing from sheer excitement to fully accepting my death by eventual suicide or vice versa in the same day provided the right sequence of events.
Now I see what I've been doing. What a waste. I wonder if I realized in time to recover or if I'm already fucked in the future, although I'm used to this feeling and worse so it doesn't faze me anymore. I also see why I went down that path. I'm still just as weird, which I can deal with easily now since a lot of my outward image was a digestible packaging of that, but also just as ignorant of the sort of social magnetic field that the rational everyman and everywoman trying to get ahead in life always seem to find and align themselves with. I'm sure it's not necessarily the best way or even the only one, but I'm not so talented at something that I have options that the average person doesn't, nor am I so smart that I can understand it better than them and take advantage of it. I have to play the game, and I've been doing anything but. I wouldn't say it's scary, or that I'm daunted by the work that catching up is probably going to be, but its size is definitely occupying my mind right now.

I've always felt that Anglos and Meds have much in common

>>25164181
/lit/, /int/, and /mu/. I post in /lit/ most often. Sometimes I'll check out /p/ just to see what's going on over there.

>>25164458
i'm med and the person i've felt the most deeply connected to, good and bad, is as anglo as it gets, we've had such similar experiences and reactions to them, plus there being a handful of others that i get along with weirdly naturally, that i'm entertaining the idea of trying to carve out a life there.
i don't know how it happened, but there's some aspects of english culture that are already in me.

>>25164486
also just remembered one time where there was an english dad with his little son on the train and they looked exactly like me and my dad when we were their ages, it was uncanny.

Dont feel bad anon. I'm 34, highly educated, extremely competent, and versatile. At 28 I went back to school, which briefly made a difference and got me a good paying big city job. Now? I work in a warehouse hauling skids and lifting heavy shit.

My advice? Live. This, that, you dont need any of it. Improve yourself, try your best, and accept that shit's fucked right now, so you might not have the right timing for something better. Set a goal, a realistic goal, and find someone to share your time with. They dont have to be perfect, but someone who brings out the best in you and helps you up when you're down, but lets you fall if you're being a bitch.

Oh, I meant the cat.

You know, I enjoy that this board is quite slow, however, I do wish some threads that I enjoy posting in would get more attention. I’ve been guilty of bumping threads a day later, surreptitiously that is.

I have yet to comprehend the full power of Art made from one era in one culture to mind-bend and mind-fuck. I think I have formed many beliefs and intuitions solely because of Art and lies. Historical perspective, especially of philosophy is an absolute necessity to unfuck this

once u can see, its easy to see who cant see. Unable to see is what you call being blind, blind people can't see you see. To even insinuate that I can't see when I say I see if proof to me that you can't see, that you are a blind person who is walking astray due to lack of seeing. I see such a road that would lead me astray that a blind person can't see, for he is a blind you see, and I thus refuse to dither with you further you tether

>>25165108
Ohhh, that does sound better to my ears, actually. Thank you anon.

>>25165127
You're just as blind as they are, maybe more. Thinking you actually know something is a fallacy of the highest caliber. Humble yourself. You might learn something. Or don't. Your philosophical journey is yours, not mine

Dude not cool, I told you to stop being a tether and making me dither, such a faggy move honestly tsk tsk

Can your philosophical knowledge explain the ideological gap between the libertarian right and the conservative/nationalist right? They're both politically right in relation to the strong left ideological block, but still in my opinion the gap has a pretty simple explanation and I'd like to hear yours

Don’t I know it…

Imagine if trains and box cars were sentient.

By now nothing can be more clear than that the one who earnestly prays to God to be free from his sin will receive no aid at all. It does not matter how fervently he believes nor how fervently he desires to escape his own failures. Unable to accept this, man simply doubts his own sincerity. How much longer before people realize not only that God does not exist, but precisely what the meaning of His inexistence is? It means that one will receive no aid, and furthermore, that one's intentions in themselves have no efficacy or meaning. A person's sincere, earnest intentions have no power over reality at all. That is the meaning of God's inexistence. And the reason that ones intentions have no power is simply that there is no spiritual or supernatural realm and no spiritual beings of any kind. It is because of a purely contingent fact about the world, not because of any inherent flaw in man or his desires. It is thus not something that can be overcome.
It is clear that people haven't accepted this. They erect philosophies, and hope to achieve something by them in themselves. What is this except religion without God? They are still looking for thoughts, ideas, or intentions that in themselves have power, but without God or any spiritual being at all to respond to them, the very notion is absurd. Wherever there is a school of philosophy, there is a religion without God, and worship without anyone who can perceive that worship. People devote themselves to some cause in search of something, but they do not recognize that devotion in itself is nothing when the object of that devotion is utterly inert. The only thing that a person could possibly devote themselves to would another person, not by internally resolving to devote themselves to that person, but by actually speaking to that person in search of something from them. For this is what prayer is. If one has the power to do something himself, why does he need to ask for help, and, furthermore, if he really has the power to do it, why does he have to resolve to do it? If he really had the power to do it, he would be able to do it right away. To make an internal resolution, to attempt to realize something that will allow him to do it, this will not give him the power to do it, because there is no one there who can hear his thoughts.

I think I should write more but writing takes time and I don't really have time unless I make time I need to sleep sooner to make time but I can't eat if I sleep sooner so I have to eat after I sleep but if I eat after I sleep I won't have time to write I need to make time

I think it's time for me to stop coping and accept Zoroastrianism simply wasn't much of a missionary religion. But it irks me to no fucking end that there are literally no dedicated works to the topic of proselytism and conversion into Zoroastrianism.

I'm struggling through Nos4a2, not because it's hard or anything, but because genre fiction just doesn't do it for me mi started reading non-fiction in 2007 and it basically ruined me for any fiction whatsoever. I need to read some Faulkner

Went out for dinner with bunch of friends and didn't feel like shit about myself anymore. I gotta do this a little more often instead of relegating myself in my room.

>>25165883
Ditch it

>>25165901
Yeah, I do that when I'm not interested in it by chapter 1. I used to give a book 10 chapters to get interesting but now, nah. Better be good by chapter 1 or I'm out. This book isn't bad, it's just genre fiction. I'll finish it someday but for now, I'm going back to either classics or non-fiction

>>25165910
I just finished Earthlings by Murata earlier today. I think two chapters in I wanted to leave it for something more serious, but I realized I was giving in to delusion and continued. Liked it a lot

Saw this painting a few weeks ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

>>25165948
>spreads the curse
Thanks anon, that painting is sick

>>25165953
sorry about cursing you. In the museum I could see where the artist had scrawled this schizo shit in pink paint on both sides of the canvas -- something about the artist thanking God for letting them see clearly, something about other people? I don't really remember and the museum's website doesn't say. Think it was painted with rainwater from a hurricane or something. Love how the face disintegrates. Can't make up my mind if it's celebratory or horrifying.

On the other hand when anything of this kind is happening and pleasure preponderates in the mixture, although the slight element of pain causes a tickling and a mild uneasiness, yet the inflowing stream of pleasure, which is much stronger, excites you and sometimes makes you jump for joy; it produces all manner of varieties in your complexion, in your attitude, in the very breath you draw, and drives you clean out of your wits, shouting aloud like a lunatic.

And what's more, my friend, it makes people say of themselves, and makes others say of them, that they are almost dying of delight in these pleasures, and I would add that the more of a fool and profligate a man is, the more wholeheartedly is he sure to pursue them, calling them the greatest pleasures and accounting such as have the greatest amount thereof in their lives the happiest of beings.

My HLLQP exams done. Spring is here and I can start to smell flowers blooming in the air. Life is good and God is good.

>>25165964
If you'll allow me a comment in my cursed state. Based on what the artist said about being able to see clearly all of a sudden (likely shamanistic style psychosis to a degree), I think they were beginning to see the reality of the "story of the human". There being so much that each of us are because of the "self" that has lived in each individual moment of time.
Or even that within each person are other people. It does look very paranoid, but I see also in it that previously to painting this, the artist was likely paranoid in a very negative way, but has come to see what the message of their paranoia really meant, and so within each pair of eyes they drew and painted here, you can see something along the lines of understanding/knowledge/keenness

It's a very good painting. I would buy it

>>25165917
That happens to me a lot. I was ready to give up on grapes of wrath but toughed it out. Super glad I did. That ending was bleak but I loved it. I went on to read the winter of our discontent by him because GoW was so good. Pretty good book too, tonally way different. You get halfway through it before you realize it's about a bank robbery! . I really like books like that. I want my thoughts provoked, not assuaged and soothed. I can read LotR for that.

>>25165979
I try to keep it on a cycle. Not too much provocation in a row, not too much soothing one after the next, etc
I prefer it that way. Otherwise I begin to feel uneasy and lopsided

A sense of wariness. Betrayal. Why do they have her attention when I don't?
Then I realize it's because they showed a level of devotion I am not willing to give.
I don't see myself being capable of going the distance, so I can only stew in these guilty/not-guilty, jealous/not-jealous feelings.

>>25166000
There are others like you Mr. 66000. It's not a problem like you think it is

>>25165969
When I read something like this, I feel the strings of an ancient deity pulling at me, holstering my soul for some future use completely unknown to me. It feels like an ant crawling over my skin, invisible and resolute. Testing me and their boundaries, thinking (as much as an ant can think) "This is good. This can feed me and my nest for months", not realizing their mandibles cannot pierce my skin. Not while I am alive, at any rate. As if being alive gives me a sort of invulnerability to my skin against predators. I do not fault the ant. I have lived my whole life this way, skimming through disasters, invulnerable and mute. Knowing the other boot will drop and the blackberries will taste all the more sweet for it. A vine will push through my skull, making way for the light of the sun, unaware and not caring, that this bone prison once held my dreams, goals, ideals, hopes and love, an infinite love, for my kids, my family, my friends. I will eat the ashes that day and I will call it good.

The night will calm the vine and I hope that it claims my soul.

>>25166001
That's good to know. There really are just limits in this life. A whiny and entitled position to take, for sure. I suppose I just need to get a grip. Maybe smoke.

>>25165982
Yeah, I can understand that

>>25165948
People say modern art is easy to make but they're looking at it the wrong way. Modern art is easier to make but it's harder to pull off successfully, because you can't rely on pre-established rules and conventions to guide you and the only tool you have is your own solitary intuition. It's easier to complete a piece of modern compared to a piece of classical art - but it's harder to make it actually good. Which is where the bad reputation of modern art comes from, from its higher than average failure rate.
sick painting btw

>>25166007
Making art, I still giving a fuck what other people think, else my art would be compromised by their limited vision. My vision is limited enough as it is

>>25166005
You know what the real sadness is here, is that it's become some kind of common place attitude to feel that "there are limits in this life" is some kind of pussy position to take.
Knowing in your heart that there are limits (there are), and watching people constantly break them every day with no regard at all, *and* sending out psychic energy en masse to actively destroy anyone who tries to "ruin their fun" of crossing lines - that is a very hard pill to swallow.
The "elder attitude" is a source of mockery now, and look what is happening because of it

>>25166007
quality opinion

My sexual desire has been waning lately, and in its place, something new and strange, or maybe old and newly excavated.
I want to be gathered in, enfolded, wrapped up in another. I want to be unguarded, so unguarded that even my involuntary reactions during what is most intimate or embarrassing become legible. I want to cling to someone, in sleep, but also be underneath, be the smaller of a size-mismatched pair, feel strong hands on my body. My wants are all one want, one nameless thing I am trying and failing to label. It doesn't really matter. This thing is not sexual desire and it is not asexual either and it is in some ways stronger than any desire I have ever felt.

>>25166020
This is very beautiful.

I heard that my grandfather attended "cuddling sessions" nearing the end of his life, whatever those may be. His wife was a real cold bitch though.

Unethical for someone who works at a medical establishment I attend to use my personal information to find my social media, send me a message, and ask me to hangout?

>>25166016
I appreciate the perspective. Gives me something to think about.

How would you describe a relationship where two men regularly sleep in the same bed but there is nothing sexual about it?

>>25166016
You just said people break those limits.

the Iliad and the Odyssey that we know is likely just a propagandized version consolidated and rewritten by Peisistratus to position Athens as a more politically relevant state. the Iliad (and by extension the Odyssey) served as a sort of textbook for young Greeks for all sorts of things from manners to political reverie. Peisistratus called for his scholars to "consolidate" the thousands of lines of oral tradition into something written and a suspicious amount of Athenian glory is found in the post-gathered versions versus the fragments we have from before. funny that politicians have been taking advantage of commoners for as long as we've had societies

What I like about the TV show Scandal is it's like they hired the most talented cast and staff, and told them, "alright, use your talents on the biggest piece of television slop there ever was" because while it shouldn't be any good, it is so good, and proves it is not plot that necessarily matters but execution. The use of music, the directing of certain scenes, the plot structure and pacing, the superb acting, the tension and story beats, the writing, ah it's all so brilliantly done. For a network slop TV show, that is.

Homeric Epic was all just Hellenist propaganda in general. Greeks would argue with each other over which retelling was accurate because to them Homer was the ultimate authority on history, genealogy and geography. Which is funny, a guy that never really "existed" conventionally was the ultimate authority on history; An unidentifiable but unquestionable and ubiquitous authority is a pretty powerful political tool

>>25166240
>existed
Maybe not in the sense that he was a physical, living being. But his influence is far richer than who he may or may not have been.

I know this is what you’re saying anyway, but I’m just saying I think his existence is pretty irrelevant ultimately.

>>25166245
The only time I ever saw Plato matter was when I moved into my friend's empty house and nearby was a bookstore that was owned by an old short man who wore 2 inch thick glasses and had 8 or 9 cats wandering around his bookstore which was just stacks of books everywhere and cat pee smell. And after the 5th time visiting (it was awesome) he told me he was a Plato scholar and showed me a few books he had written about it that had a plain blue cover with a white title

>>25166243
Greeks definitely believed Homer was a real dude, which is the funny part. They have no records of this guy, no certification of his existence at all, and he's not even mentioned by named until 200 years after the final version of the Iliad is compiled. Yet they also consider him the ultimate authority on the history of the city states for all intents and purposes. Imagine if some mysterious entity from 800 years ago composed the ultimate doctrine for how your society should act and your politicians all tell you it's what you need to believe as history, while every city has a different take on what the epics even said. I mean, even Jesus has more of a biological record than Homer. Thankfully guys like Thucydides thought it sounded fucked up too
