This is how I feel about what you said

>History doesn't end. That's like saying that the history of oral literature ended when writing was invented.
It did though. Oral tradition is entirely different from literature, and in societies where writing is introduced oral tradition generally dies out almost immediately.

>We get it, you read an intro to philosophy, but this has literally nothing to do with Plato.
Platonically blow me

>The traditional individuality of a book was erased the moment the printing press was invented.
It was a process. Books written in the early 20th century are of entirely different quality than ones done today. Use of tools such as lithograph and woodcut also provided a variety of image qualities and mediums that vanished with offset printing. Books pre-Heidelberg and of obviously different quality than books post-Heidelberg. Then you have the Limited Editions Club which even today holds the gold-standard for publishing. It was a long process to get where we are today even if the trend is obvious.

>Contrary to your nonsense, the printed book remains an ideal, THE stamp of approval, for these supposedly new tendencies
Obviously, which is why I'm able to make money as a bookbinder. HOWEVER it exists as a fetish and a commodity, NOT as the most efficient way to transmit information, which is what printed books were for several hundred years. This fact is at odds with the public perception of books sure, but eventually public attitudes will fall in line with reality. Monasteries continued producing illuminated manuscripts for years after Gutenberg, but it's still obvious looking back that Gutenberg killed the illuminated manuscript.

>New tech in practice offers very few new techniques, of the stuff you've listed that would be non-linearity
This website couldn't have existed pre-internet. You might not think of it as literature, but it's something and it's new.
>nobody has actually utilised that successfully
Wikipedia is successful and non-linear. Borges successfully wrote a non-linear story years before the internet became a thing. Palindromes exist.

Can be read for example in any direction. Much of Arabic calligraphy is also somewhat non-linear, as is art.

Poor reading comprehension.
>check out this retard. its easy to look at people like Warhol, the velvet underground, the situationists, the NY no-wave scene as avant-geniuses, but keep in mind that in their era, they were regarded as bottom of barrel artists, why bother with "fine art"?
Those are all bottom of the barrel artists.

Given my audience, I must add that promiscuity in itself is not the novelty under question. I am trying to show that the structure of the Dating App is not consistent with human sexuality, *whatever its nature or natures hitherto*. Whether one considers one’s nature to be purely monogamist, serially monogamist, or “polymorphously perverse,” the form of love engendered by the Dating App substitutes the coherence of that love as a life-work, for the possibility of an endlessly repeated conquest or debasement, pleasure or disillusionment.

No and I don't read appendixes, indexes, bibliographies, references or any of that gay shit either.

by your own admission it is not a scholarly source. A century ago the Huns were ripping open Belgian babies and reading their entrails to augur where to attack on the Western Front. Without evidence to back up your assertions, its pop history.

I would say that sentience is a measurement of depth, or complexity. To be sentient is to have depth of instantaneous experience. To be more sentient is to percieve more meaning from a given set on inputs.
Inteligence is a measure of speed. How fast can you reach a conclusion? Because the brain operates on electricity (constant speed) I think it has to do with the number of unique pathways, so that a more intelligent person needs one connection compared to two or more to go from a to b.
They link together because they bound one another. A more sentient person makes more use out of the same level of inteligence and vice versa. Inteligence is reaction, sentience is perception. In this metaphor, all that is "other" is the action.

Is this image right?

Do you think it would translate well to german? Or should i just bring one of hitler‘s speeches? That would be hilarious because it‘s supposed to be some slam poetry thing and i bet it will be packed with leftists.
