/lit/ - Literature

This morning I was standing on my balcony and saw my 14 year old neighbour wheel out the bin to the street in her underwear. She didn't see me looking but I found it hilarious how the mere site of her youthful body totally negated my entire worldview. Everything but youthful beauty is a total farce bros, the quest for wealth, the hollow attempts to gain power in whatever niche domain one finds themselves in, the tertiary interests we pretend are more important, simply do not hold a candle. But the cruelest twist of it all for those who have such a gift is also the source reconciliation for those such as myself who don't, I neither possess it nor have it shared with me by those who do. The twist is this; ultimately we all age, rot from the inside out and the outside in, we all become as sour as I have been my whole life.

Books for this feel?

Possibly because Derrida, and Baudrillard died around then?

A demographic correlating highly with some generally undesirable statistical phenomenon doesn't automagically imply that
>Vilification of that demographic is functional and morally correct
>Righteous indignation on part of those suffering at the hands of the demographic is functional and morally correct
Certain women's right activists (and more generally populists regarding their scapegoat group of choice) like being big mad about 'men' being vile, and fail to see that generalizing an entire population not only gives incentive to would-be bad apples to act out, but also pushes away the neutral parties constituting the majority of the population. It certainly doesn't help that there's a culture of denigrating basic civility on the extreme of the other side, either.

Probably not exclusively or intentionally, but you could apply it to gender transition if you wanted to.

>you don't need to accept these axioms before you meditate and find out for yourself
you do though. how can you find out without first fucking around? or to put it another way, even if you want to see if you could chuck a rock at my face for being an annoying prick, you first have to know me as an annoying prick, and the rock as being chuck-able. this extends to the idea of the self, as it's inscribed in the weltanschauungs. obviously, due to the nature of the pluralist ontology schema i've pointed out as fundamental, i can't convince you of this -- or to put it another way: you ahve to find out for yourself :)

>get book
>ask her "hey, what are you reading?"
>probably reading some normalfag shit
>you, being the superior /lit/izen you are, have obviously already familiarized yourself with the content of said book through the intellectual osmosis generated by your massive intellect
>"i'm reading 'x', it's a book about 'y', by 'z'"
>"oh, i love 'z's work! hey wanna go for a coffee some time?"

>What exactly happened to modern science and mathematics to make them so hostile to philosophical thought?
This is an uninteresting question whose conclusion seems foregone in the moral implicative of 'hostility'. What you should be asking is,
>Are modern science and mathematics hostile to philosophical thought? How might they be?
Anything of potential philosophical worth in your derivative question is inscribed on the surface of the answer to this one. Don't cuck your intellect, reframe your moral concerns as open-ended existential queries instead and you'll be much closer to restoring the philosophical integrity of academia than if you committed to a normative analysis.

I just finished my novel. Its a 65.000 words story in my native language (Greek) about a young lost guy in the 70s america. He is psychotic, and sees apparitions, while trying to find his place in the world. I think its very good.
