>C12: On Wednesday night, in the nine o’clock hour, the man who lives four floors above the crime is staring into an app called: Rate Your Date (Mature Users!). The app glows a deep red, and he is certain that there is no one inside it. Like many men who have weathered female rejection, the man in Apartment C12 believes that women have more power than anyone else on the planet. When evidence suggests that this can’t be true, he gets angry. It is an anger unique to those who have committed themselves to a losing argument.

>reading a book decrying the academics destroying the subject of history through the lens of cultural marxism and their derivatives
>how these people are trying to destroy truth and reality because it excludes the "losers" in various places that were colonized and decries the european settlers for bringing civilization to peoples who didn't need or want it
>think its all relevant to exactly what's happening now in academia, the book must have been written in 2016
>written in 1994
How do I cope with the fact that serious academic study of history and literature has been replaced by afro apologism before I was born? It seems the art of real academic study was lost from the start
The book is called The Killing of History

I assume by "fix education" you're looking at it from an American perspective, and the answer is pretty straightforward. Remove niggers from schools post grade 6. Not that they're any more useful before that but at least before that age teachers can still control them enough to sit them down long enough to learn their abcs and basic math. After that there's 0 point in educating any of them. The 1% capable of even learning beyond this level can go to private schools, but there's virtually no point for the rest to continue shitting up public schools and bringing down the quality for everyone around them as they act like the feral animals they are. Anyone who thinks otherwise never spent any time with a considerable population of blacks in public schools, which is a blessing that you didn't have to suffer through it, but also a curse that you don't know how truly subhuman they are.

At a house party last night I met a small group of philosophy students that went to NYU. They looked at me with bewilderment when I brought up Deleuze, and when I explained who he was the alpha dude in the group condescendly told me they studied analytic. I stood there feeling like an asshole while the group slowly went back to ignoring me

Is this the case for every philosophy student in America? Should I just not talk philosophy to any Americans ever again? Also is analytic worth checking out?

It's #1 now.

>that time when I was 22 and sent both my entire novel about a day in the life of an aspergic NEET and a ~7,500 word document which included a summary of my perspective, influences and a mini interview with myself to an independent publisher who offered to take a look at my work but never emailed me back after that

Thank god I used a fake name. Oh my god it makes me cringe so hard even today.

I think he's misrepresenting how difficult Milton's poetry is. He's not that difficult once you get used to him, but he is definitely several shades of complexity above someone like Homer. It reads more like Virgil to my mind from the sections I've read, because it has a lot more rhetorical flourishes than Homer
