srsly tho 200 years from now what will sociologists and historians blame for the rise of pop positivism

did people like that exist at all in the 50s? why do they exist now?

>The basis of all willing ... is need, lack, and hence pain, and by its very nature and origin [any animal] is therefore destined to pain. If, on the other hand, it lacks objects of willing, because it is at once deprived of them again by too easy a satisfaction, a fearful emptiness and boredom come over it; in other words, its being and its existence itself become an intolerable burden for it. Hence its life swings like a pendulum to and fro between pain and boredom, and these two are in fact its ultimate constituents.

This makes more sense to me that I'd like. Pls post rebuttals.

Lively discussion between a student and an educator? Oh my /lit/?

Alright, I need an answer to this before I go mad.

What words ending in -ed do you pronounce with the -ed separate, and which do you not? all of them? none of them? and why?

What I mean is words like winged, which I would normally pronounced as one syllable, being pronounced 'wing-edd'. Is this just an archaic way of pronouncing them?

I've never known which words to pronounce in this way since I first started hearing it, or why it's done. I just now heard someone say 'crown-edd' and I need to fucking know.
