Anyone have a book on writing essays and the such? I feel as if my work is generally 'float-y' and I'd love to read up on some material related to more university/college oriented writing.

If you can't read a page every 10 seconds, or at least a book a week, should you just not even bother reading? Harold Bloom has read 80000 books at least once, and many more than once in his 90 years, so he claims. I have read 40 and I am 25. I sometimes wonder if reading is the most important thing in the world and my life is a waste because I can't reap the pleasures of it. I read a book a month, sometimes, but really when it comes to intellect and knowledge, mine is miscule. It is a sad and pathetic little modicum of thought, which one could easily toss aside as if it were a penny on the street.

How do you find hope for the future? Even this originally-rebellious website has succumbed normies and embraced the views of the PC views of mainstream. I need some light in the darkness.

If western society was worth saving it wouldn't have been destroyed.

Holy shit anon

That's fascinating and really, really disturbing

Also will specialized chatbot-AIs be considered dynamic forms of literature in the future?

What if literature is just aiming to be a representation of intelligence and AIs will be great at that?

After high school he managed to get an academic scholarship to Fordham. He didn't want to go at first, because for some strange reason he wanted to join the Marines. He was always kind of heavy, but starting in the 10th grade he took up running, and actually lost quite a bit of weight and joined his school's cross country team, athough he lamented the fact he was never able to complete a run more then eight miles. Seemed plenty far to me.
He watched a lot of war movies. He told me that it's not right that people who live comfortable lives like his should be unhappy when real men where fighting and dying. He left for boot camp four weeks after graduation. He was back not even three weeks later
"They said I was too quite. I couldn't yell lough enough."
He moved out and went to Fordham, and for a while seemed to be doing well. I saw on facebook that he was in a relationship. The girl was very pretty. I moved into his old bedroom. When he dropped out his junior year and moved back in he insisted I keep the bedroom and he would sleep on the pull out until he found a new place. He never looked.
I awoke on the last night to the smell of cigarettes, a habit that I joked he had picked up to punish me. He was sitting at the kitchen table, awash in the blue glow of the news reading off the victims of the latest massacre.
The TV flickered.
He flickered back, and then the sound of barking dogs.

Have you done acid before? How much would you be planning on doing? Can you be alone for +8h? More importantly, are the woods creepy?

The girl sleep around, dirty superficial, ratchet,
Podcast worldstar, datpiff social media feed,
Face marked upon, stare like hit by the hatchet,
Swamp-ass bottomfeeder, return her back to sea.

Sickly communicative,
Misbehaves, they call her bitch cunt,
Always manipulative,
Cast her, away with the little litter runt.

Sputter sprock fuck this bumbaclot rock,
An example of why evolution should stop,
When a bitch like that gets upon loose cock,
Wobble and rock, a baby 9 month drop.

Welfare hoes.

>Is every great writer a narcissist?
Absolutely not, considering the modern age has a narcissism pandemic and hasn't produced a single great artist all the while. Arguably it speaks of a reverse correlation.
