Pseudo-intellectualism in the guise of “self-healing” and “trauma-centered consciousness”

so another wannabe jung?

Ain't I A Woman is a good overview of black feminism from antebellum south through slavery abolition up until second wave feminism but from memory it isn't exactly rigorous in its historiography, and it's possible Angela Davis' Women, Race and Class does a better job of critiquing white-centred feminism

might as well just read some FBI handbook if you are going to read a book by a FBI informant

Why didn't they just call a plumber for the tub?

>>20642824
Why do you think this is what the book is about?

Marvel fags dont read. They just collect for the bling bling.

Stupid frog poster

What else have you read in the genre that you think compares favorably to those works?

The Lottery is a lot better though.

I am legend is phenomenal, as well as any major Lovecraft story (or minor, the Outsider being my favorite of his). I've read a lot of King when I was younger, but I recently reread Salem's Lot and Pet Sematary, they were amazing, both are fantastic horror. There's also Poe, but that's pretty unfair comparison for most writers. Finally there's Ghost Story which I also thought was pretty great, though overrated in its own way, it's still surpasses both of Jackson's works that I've read.

What are your thoughts?

>>20642744
oh yeah, and I've of course read Dracula and Frankenstein, the former of course being a much more "gothic genre" novel.

>>20642675
Her short stories are pretty great

>>20642627
Its over..

I'll make a strong case for alphabetical order.

The Kindle editions of all of his books are bargain priced. Being and Oil Vol. 1 is $2. Even if you're poor, you can afford $2.

Are his books worth reading?

>>20642739
No but he does need to feed his wife

>>20642739
No, just read Energy and Experience: An Essay in Nafthology instead

>>20642622
His books are not good. Very amateur, disconnected, culture war-esque references. I regret spending the money.

Order. Read John 1:1

>>20642583
Chaos between Order

Order and Disorder are both projections cast onto the formlessness of actuality.

>>20642613
But isn't formlessness a disorder in itself

>>20642583
To ask the question itself presupposes knowledge. Be quiet

I would say no. Never thought about it since. But the movie was ok.

Jews aren't big on pigs.

This passage obviously made an impression on Cormac McCarthy because he stuck it into Outer Dark. Outer Dark is a very odd book, and the giant herd of pigs rushing over a cliff for no reason is one of the oddest bits of it.

The bible is just ancient schizoposting.

it always cracks me up how prevalent

bros why does rene guenon just talk about how epic and awesome the orientals are.

>>20642539
The Guenon era is ending.

>>20642640
You couldn’t be more wrong if you tried

>>20642640
Explain? All he said about orientals is that they are unmoving and are the base of the tree. While the westerners are a branch and just keep changing tradition.

This one fucked up Outlast fanfic where Waylon was held at Mount Massive for 2 weeks before the Walrider disaster. They get taken to another facility to "recuperate" but of course it's more evil shit. Then he gets forced to pretend to be Eddie Gluskin's wife to keep him calm and complacent, and that includes letting Eddie fuck him. It's a fucked, I tell you what. I love it.

>>20642462
the story of richard branson really resonated with me, might watch some of his interviews, thanks.

>>20642455
its not the solution to everything at all, but getting rid of the chemicals slowing your cognitive processes would help you follow through on any interest

Sounds like you have developed some horrible habits. Sad to say but you do need to force yourself to learn things even if you dislike them. Most of 90% of what you need to learn to function will be something you do not like. The reason you can't take things slowly is because you are too far behind to catch up normally just by studying. I would recommend taking a break from college or whatevs and taking a remedial program. Of course you could go off the deep end and start grinding to make money without education but its a lot harder and requires agency which someone who struggles completing basic requirements in education is not ready for.
