His theory of general is economy being based on excess, and power being the capacity to lose are very clever. I think the way he sees the progression of capitalism and protestantism together is incredibly insightful aswell. The shift from production as a way to maintain preists and the military under catholicism to reinvestment for personal gain under protestantism is often over looked. When God controls production time rather than reinvestment it's easier for wealth to have the value of giving satisfaction to people, while in degraded Protestant societies which lack service to God as their center wealth becomes something which is used to expand productive forces. This shift is maintained, even prefected in Marxist ideology where people still remain enslaved to productive forces since the only goal of action is to change the hands that hold the means of production. Owning things does not free man from his enslavement to utility.

The eye is a brilliant love story, and Blue of Noon is an excellent piece on how politics relates to desire.

Erotism is probably my favorite book of his, though >>20603253 is right about a lot of his non fiction being dry.

Why would you post stuff like this with your photo and personal information? Don't you realize what's going to happen? Between this and people attacking crowds of niggers with swords and bows, I am really starting to doubt that white Americans have the same IQ as Europeans.

I mean, it can't be paying THAT much? Especially if the price is suffering through a bunch of awkward neckbeards with their disgusting mouth-breathing

Clinical evidence? Of course not, you functional retard.

They're schedule 1, you absolute fucking retard.

What little clinical research has been done on psychedelics has concluded, rather demonstrably, that they have a resoundingly and overwhelmingly, and obvious, immediate positive effect on the mental health, in otherwise neurologically normative people, of the individual who incurs a described "mystical" experience, you complete and total retard.

None of you are talking about anything relevant to his rise to popularity fame.

It's unveiled resentment towards someone who has comprehended and cognitively metabolized all of the difficult and idiosyncratic and esoteric abstractions and conceptualizations that riddle this board on their immature and quarter-formed form; spewed like vomit from idiot children.

Since Kindergarten I've been a shit artist. I've never been able to draw, I tried learning, but with no significant improvements I got frustrated and quit.

The only artistic talent I posses is in writing. I love coming up with ideas for stories with fun characters and cool worlds, but I always get discouraged when I realize that the characters in my head will always be confined to text due to my own inability to bring them to life in the way I want them to be.

How do you guys get over this feeling? I know I could meet an illustrator but then it feels like the vision isn't entirely my own. The only talent I have is via a dead media.

but that's not even what marxists think anon, class conflict is a political phenomenon, market behavior is still firm-based in competition

When will swords come back as the popular weapon for protagonists? Polearms and spears have been in the sunlight for too long. We need a return to form.

Why is copying what someone else did so acceptable when it comes to creating shit? Is it true that nothing is original anymore? If that's the case, how do you make something "yours"?
