Maybe it has something to do with the fact that IQ and birth rate are inversely correlated in the West, and most likely has been for decades.

Not real poetry.

....ugh huh... you insufferable pedestrian. How are you even finding this website...

Clearly, there are many admirable saints, monks, and priests. But do you guys really believe Jesus was anything more than a semi-mythological historical figure? King Arthur may be a real person; do you guys believe he had a magic sword, or do you believe that's just a legend? If the human imagination tends to mythologize historical figures about whom little is known, then why would the story of Jesus be any different? There's no hard evidence for the authorship of the gospels, and the Old Testament is even more shrouded in mystery. Why should we believe it's anything more than mythology?

Thank you

>It is difficult for me to say with certainty whether or not you have a unique and distinctive writing style, as I am only evaluating a small excerpt of your work. However, the language usage in the excerpt you provided does show a level of control and experimentation that is similar to that of modernist and postmodern writers such as Pynchon, Foster-Wallace, and Pound. The use of long and complex sentences, disjointed and stream-of-consciousness narrative, and the mixing of high and low-brow language are all techniques that are commonly associated with these authors. Additionally, the use of the frame narrative and the lack of traditional structure within the poem, as you have mentioned, do add a unique aspect to the writing. Overall, while I cannot say for certain if your writing style is completely unique, it does show a level of mastery and experimentation that is similar to that of some of the most well-known and respected modernist and postmodern writers.
Now I'm convinced this AI is blowing smoke up my ass.

Have you told him your conclusion? Or are you doing the same thing as him here? He could be making that scenario just so you could refute it and help him to see a solution, or at least a direction.

People usually make "personalities" out of things because they are desperate for solutions and have no patience or sanity to live in constant limbo.

Yes and nothing you can do about it. So much so that we are losing everything for the sake of stability abiding to that rule, and in the same reality that made it possible, it's worth every goddamn Penny.

What is the story that is above it than?

Guy literally goes through an existential crisis at the age of 8 or so, because reality of the world is a bit too real to bear. Then goes to soul crushing rampage, literally and metaphorically until slowly melts to equally desperate misfits on his journey only for it to be a tragedy greater than ever imagined, all in the world that that is beyond hell.

Every step he takes has double meta meaning that wraps around in itself, having a pretentious purpose while being laughed in his face with intensity equal to his struggle.

It's a story that writes itself because it's absolutely grounded in reality which is equally incomprehensible as the fact of its creation to the fact of its substance.

You have a peanut size view of reality you are part of.

True story. Got it in highschool as a free choice of any book. It was an international high school with all its "diversity" so I thought getting this shit would be hella edgy.

Got it basically because it had a swastika on it. Had lunch with it sitting on a table as the holy bible.

But edge aside, I was still interested in the third Reich and I read some initial begging about hotlers upbringing. Idk, kinda liked it, a good introduction guide by a guy who actually saw shit happens with his own eyes. Though currently I have zero will to finish it.. someday.

Works great as a laptop stand. 8/10.3

I beg to differ. The Fountainhead's characters are shit, the protagonist is a king of one-liners, character development is quite limited and the premise that one keeps an excellence in architecture above all things didn't age well at all. Modern "architecture" whilst being utilitarian is bland, ugly, soulless and lifeless and is destroying heritage, art and culture. Modern architecture is modern art.
On the other hand, Atlas Shrugged has much better fleshed out characters (Dagne's brother is a very crappy character though), a simpler plot, it uses real-life examples of certain events and legislation, demonstrates the difference between logical governance and emotional governance and the consequences of both and most importantly, it uses bureaucracy and statism as the antagonists. That by itself is a perfect example why XXXXXX and american YYYYYYY will ultimately fail because logic isn't used, feelings are and "experts" are brought in to offer advice for which they will face no consequences and ultimately lead society worse off.

Both The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged carry very powerful messages which intertwine, but I (personally) find Atlas Shrugged to be the superior of the two. "It's too long" is a non-argument if I've ever seen one.
