>since we have a maid narrating the entire story, said maid had to be forcefully inserted into every poignant event
A lot of my stories are narrated from the POV of characters who are mostly just spectators. Realizing now that this could possibly be Wuthering Heights’ influence on me.

Everyone prefers physical books, but the practicality of an e-reader ( or a 8-10 year old tablet ) that really sells it for me.

1) outside the initial investment, books are free / cost way less then printed copy.

2) Lighter, and can carry hundreds of books without a problem.

It's a poor person's portable library. If money wasn't a factor, I would take a physical copy every time.

I've discovered a lot more on 4chan than any other medium, wouldn't say learnt. Because autists are far more capable on taking you down obscure rabbit holes that you won't usually find since normies only stick to what's hip and well known.

Working on my first novel, need some advice:
As I’m writing I’m noticing there are large chunks from earlier chapters that I want to rewrite. Is it typically better to change those before continuing, or do I just finish a first draft without worrying about continuity errors?

The idea that God is everything renders the concept of God useless

Has anyone concluded whether Horea Belcia is a dedicated shitpost or a real person in need of help

If a poem doesn’t rhyme and doesn’t have any meter or structure what makes it a poem?

Therapy and psychoanalysis can be really good, and if it works for you then it works. But the widespread proliferation of therapy means a lot of therapists are fucking idiots, and a bad therapist can do much more damage than no therapy at all. I'm not well read enough on the matter to address it in any scope further than that but personally it kinda seems like he took what is at the core a good idea (parents and how you are raised affects the person you grow up to be) and with a ton of cocaine took it to a different planet.

Pretty sure real Karaites don't exist anymore, and a conversion to them wouldn't be legitimate. Conservative or Modern Orthodox will probably be your best bet.

1. No, there are many more christians who are far more greedy and far more destructive. There are greedy and destructive Jews (neocons), but it is easier to blame the Jews and pretend you have no part in it than blame it on your own culture and reflect on what cultural values might have allowed something like the Iraq War to happen.
2. Very. I'm post-zionist, which means I believe Zionism is a dead ideology because the state has been established and isn't going anywhere. We need to address the problems facing us in a realistic way. Zionism is a spectrum but support for the existence of Israel among Jews is above 90%.
3. The wealthiest people I know is a family on the Forbes 500 list, I know the guy who wrote that shitty dreamworks movie Over The Hedge, and my dad was in the same fraternity as Jerry Seinfeld though they haven't talked since the 80s. Sarah Silverman's sister and I have met a few times. Rich and influential jews keep to themselves and don't help poor jews, just as rich and influential goyim don't help poor goyim. Class transcends religion
4. US is on the brink of collapse and it is fucking terrifying. Democracy is failing for all the reasons outlined by Plato, and I don't know why MAGA people thought that it is possible to remain the top country in the world while being isolationist. I, for one, do not welcome our new Chinese overlords, though they like us.

Just as a premise for writing and cultural critique, that is pure retard. Both the idealization of the past samurai and how fucking retarded it will all sound.
>"I was raised to honor m'ladies in the Bushido manner. I, the brave, honorable samurai warrior, am dishonored by this 'used panty vending machine'. I vow to kill the feminists and westerners who caused this"-- Anon's brave and prosaic cultural critique, probably

When you read a book, where does the new information go? Does it replace old memories that were in the circuits being activated? Isn't it dangerous to read too much then, since you'll be damaging existing connections?

Give me anti-anthropocentric philosophy

What's a legitimate reason one should write a book?

I'm writing a paper on why I wouldn't want to be a therapist, and my main factor is that I don't have much empathy or patience for dealing with people's bullshit. How do I frame that without making myself out to be a total psycho?

The NEET and the autist need to reclaim their literary heritage. Hume and Rousseau hardly worked days in their lives. Rousseau had a mommy gf. People thought Johnson was actually retarded. Look at Anatomy of Melancholy or Bayle’s Critical Dictionary. Literature is your birthright

I will probably be writing a research paper on DIonysus/Cult of DIonysus for a Classics class what material do you guys recommend I read?
