Oh wow, finally a smart poster who appeals to my opinions.
Brofist not because you're really addressing the issue, but because you are almost as retarded as me.

I love off-topic tripfag circlejerk threads! As a tripfag I know quite a bit about jerking off, and I love to share it with my friends on /lit/!
Hey Deep&Edgy, is your asshole still sore from the night before last? I told you we should have used lube.

can someone recommend me some contemporary philosophy? i decided i want to do some good hard reading and dont really know where to start. I just read Camera Lucida by roland barths, and am now reading Society of the Spectacle by guy debord. what next?

some background on me is that im into art.

OK, i think i actually DO want to read some post modernists. or at least some contemporary philosophers.

sure is 2nd year bachelors of philosophy in here (not that thats a bad thing - i just want to think about issue that are actually relevant to the field today) shit ima start a new thread.

ive read platos cave, and some deleuze and guatari, and some lacan, and some shivelbusch, and uhhh idk - im reading society of the spectacle.

all these things where just like snippets i was able to get my hands on in college. i still feel like i know nothing about philosophy and want to get into it. so basically - yeah i guess i want an introductory text. i remeber that image - the god tier to shit tier philosophy image - having a lot of stuff in it that seemed like i needed to read.

I need help picking some philosophy to read.

Can someone post that image of the tiered philosophy texts?

also what contemporary criticism and theory r u guize reading.

Good day, /lit/. I am in pursuit of the most intellectually scintillating websites on the internet. Preferably those less well-known than say the Economist or TED websites.

FUCK!

>Double Helix by John Watson
Disliked to learn that the guy was an asshole that had no respect for Rosalind Franklin, whose crystallography photos contributed a lot to his work.
>The Shadow over Innsmouth by H.P. Lovecraft
If you're counting short stories? It was interesting. I wish I hadn't known the twist before I read it though.
>Currently reading A Confederacy of Dunces
It's pretty good though I don't think I've read enough to judge it fully yet. Ignatius reminds me a lot of Chris-chan, just with a college degree.

FUCK YES?

well from now on, im going to try and HELP anon's who ask for it as best i can.

or we could have "office hours" threads where more knowledgeable c/lit/s just kind sit around helping whoever asks for it.

I vote yes.
when i really think about it my hatered for homework threads is only because i see everyone else doing it, and i see it as bad manners here on lit. But if it were encouraged i would think that would be a pretty cool guy. Especially since Lit has the most actual teachers (TA's) of any board. it could be great.

now i want to move to a 2 bedroom apartment so i can have a room with only a small desk and a lamp for writing.

i wish i had a room big enough to use something like pic related

shiit that is such a good idea! im going to by candles next time im at the store now.

what kind of light source do u use for reading /lit/?

pic related. Soft white 100w equivalent bulbs in there. have had those bulbs for 4+ years.

dude, dont tell her to shut up. she's just being nice. thats better than getting shit on.

>>1358714
yeah i know. whats sad is that, i kind of get some attention these days because im sort of mildly successful in my career (im not saying women are affectionate towards me - but i am respected, and liked in the community). and i know that even if - through money or power or skill or whatever - i land a chick, there's no way ill be able to keep her around. basically from day one i will be waiting for her to leave me.

i try to tell myself im better off because "it wouldnt have worked out". but what depresses me is that 99% of relationships dont work out, and u are supposed to do it anyways to learn and to have fun. im so desperate that when i see a pretty girl and dont feel like offing myself i just think about how we would get devorced (meaning we would get married first).

>>1358707
hmmm
yeah, i do really feel crushed these days, and i feel that ive lost faith in humanity. i also feel a lot of outright envy and jealosy when i see a pretty boy with a girl on his arm. or any kind of anyone in a relationship. i emagine running over couples as i watch them cross the street from inside my car. i tend to just dislike dudes i meet that have girlfriends or are married. (tho, if they are ok people, i end up coming around eventually). It wouldnt be so bad, except that my best friend left the country to teach english recently, and nowadays, im only surrounded by people i hate. at first things were looking good after he left - thats when i started talking to the salinger fan girl. then i just got more and more alone. nowadays, ill spend an entire day online without even blinking. and i dont care at all about other people - live or die, happy or sad.
