Alright, lads. I've been inspired again and started actually writing something. Don't like the format of paste bins and don't just want to post the raw text in thread. What's the go to site for YOUR viewing pleasure? What's the coon recommend? Was kind of hoping to make a debut with &amp but really want to start showing you frens what I can cook up.

why aren't there more books about simping and findom? i'm writing one at the moment

Friendly reminder that existentialist trash like L'Étranger is not art.

If Lord of the Flies represents a hobbesian struggle about governance and democracy, then who is the sailor that saves the children at the end?

This is an old debate. I'd argue that greed, in combination with opportunity and wealth are instinctively human. I state these conditions because a lot of social scientists point out that for the most part of human history, hunter-gatherer societies were based on cooperation and not greed. This is true, but I'd argue it's because there wasn't any wealth-production/opportunity to be greedy as resources and material goods were limited and status symbols were obsolete in an equal society.

Hermeneuntics was a methodological approach which aims to fully understand and interpret scientific phenomenons and texts. Heidegger radicalizes his ontological hermeneutics: to be/to exist is to understand, and understanding is fundamental to human existence. Understanding oneself, and the things outside of the self, are essentially human.

Modern science only focused on understanding the objects outside the self, and not the self itself. This is why Heidegger rejected science, and focused on poetry.

"and here we would pardon the captain if he had not brought it to Spain and translated it into Castilian, for he took away a good deal of its original value, which is what all who attempt to translate books of poetry into another language will do as well: no matter the care they use an the skill they show, they will never achieve the quality the verses had in their first birth."

-Don Quixote
