/lit/ - Literature

visiting with an old, long since outgrown friend:
>"so I don't want to go back to school, and I don't want to do physical labor and have decided against sales jobs either..., I think I've finally figured out what I want to do with my life"
>"I want to be a writer"
>"everyone has always told me I would be a good writer. I have all these ideas"
>"yes, I am going to be a writer"

He lives with his parents and works part time as a minimum wage stock-boy. He has never written anything outside of the mandated high school usual and most likely never will. Why are these kinds of talkative nothings so incredibly common?

Moot said he'd start accepting janitor requests again. All we need to do is fill it up.

The board has been doing pretty bad lately, but I wouldn't say it is as bad as when we had 24/7 trip wankery. It'll get better when summer ends

>Across five related studies, researchers Matthias Forstmann, Pascal Burgmer, and Thomas Mussweiler of the University of Cologne, Germany, found that people primed with dualist beliefs had more reckless attitudes toward health and exercise, and also preferred (and ate) a less healthy diet than those who were primed with physicalist beliefs.

>Overall, the findings from the five studies provide converging evidence demonstrating that mind-body dualism has a noticeable impact on people's health-related attitudes and behaviors. Specifically, these findings suggest that dualistic beliefs decrease the likelihood of engaging in healthy behavior.

Hey that's great stuff kiddo, I didn't ask for proof of correlations between race and intelligence though, I asked for proof of how low intelligence is CAUSED by race.

Convenient how studies like that never talk about peoples like the Mbuti or Lepchas or Batek

Slick way of saying "You're right"

What Is Property? by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Just a reminder that George is NEVER going to finish all the books, because he takes 5+ years between each one and he is certain to die of old age first.

>make you have to pay back a shit load of financial aid

Good thing I'm not from a barbaric mess of a country where you need to pay for education

>and regret that you spent 4+ years studying something you're not even sure you want to make a career.

I don't study to start or prepare for a career, I study because I like it and I only study subjects that I would have as a hobby even if I wasn't studying them.

No you have not.

>You don't believe in morals

Yes I do.

>you don't believe in absolutes

I'm not sure what that means.

>you believe that you should be "free" to do whatever the fuck you want with no consequences, and that anything you want should be provided by the state/society.

Are you trying to be a stereotypical conservatard here or what?

>implying I spent more than a minute on that post
>implyinh intelligence and arrogance are mutually exclusive

I very much agree. I wish teachers would stop trying to incept core values and morals into us and just teach us about freakin' literature already.

did you see what i did there? did you see the part where i said incept? like from the movie inception? that was good huh
