It comes to me in my dreams

>tfw fantasizing about having two women when I can't even get one

are there many such cases?

How the hell am I supposed to know what "good prose" is though? What makes good prose, "good" in the first place? Flowery, adjective-adverb dense, descriptive language doesn't seem to be what people mean when they say a prose is good. Is it the double entendres, the puns, the callbacks to other great works? I genuinely don't understand.

>book blatantly states that Doctor Yueh is the traitor in the pre-chapter quotes
>he actually is the traitor

was this revolutionary writing in 1965?

I had a dream about Jesus last night but I don't want to read through the entirety of Old and New Testament now.

Can someone please tell me what's wrong here? It doesn't seem that bad to me.

Is internal dialogue normal? I usually think through my thoughts in the form of a talk show, where in being interviewed about the thing in thinking about, or I have a practice conversation with friends

>just let people do what they want
What are the wider implications of such a broad applying philosophical stance?

A chair is whatever I want it to be. Come all you needy and those of you who are tired, let me designate what are chairs and what are not.

I spent a lot of time as a little kid ‘philosophizing,’ sort of, while holding certain bad assumptions to be unquestionably true, which would result in me tying my brain into knots for hours trying to resolve the contradictory conclusions I inevitably drew. A pretty early example I remember (I must have been around 8) is puzzling over the fact that laws and constitution of the USA were ‘real,’ or official or valid or whatever, whereas if I were to write out my own set of ‘laws’ on a piece of paper, those laws clearly wouldn’t be as real as the US ones. Since both were just writing on paper, it seemed obvious to me that ‘real’ laws must be written in a certain special way which made them real. I spent a long time racking my brain, trying to figure out what exactly had to be written, and how exactly it worked to make the laws written in it official. I actually came to a kind of interesting conclusion, which was that, because whatever technique I might think up, which would be supposed to make certain laws real, could then just be copied by someone else to realize a set of contradictory laws, no set of laws could truly be considered real. Any ‘real’ set of laws was essentially a guidebook to its own nullification. But instead of becoming an anarchist, I was just confused, because the laws in the US were clearly still the only real ones, even though there was no way in which they could have been written to make them real. I thought about a lot of things like that from a really early age, and they’re fun to remember because a lot of the reasoning actually seems pretty good to me, but I tended to fail at the outset by accepting ridiculous premises.

Imagine spending tons of money on having someone doing simple menial labour you could easily do yourself. They have power over you, they cuck you in your own home, and bleed your wallet dry.
