NORM MACDONALD CARECIÓ, TODA SU VIDA, DE LA LITERATURA HISPÁNICA, Y DE EL CATOLICISMO: AQUELLA LE HUBIERA ENRIQUECIDO EL GUSTO; AQUESTA, LE HUBIERA SALVADO EL ALMA.

THE IRONY OF MAKEBELIEVE REALITY WARRIOR MAGES ACCUSING ANYONE WHO CRITICIZES THEIR DELUSIONS OF BEING AN AGENT OF THE DEMIOURGOS.

ONE ARRIVES AT SENECTUDE DEMENTED & INCONTINENT ONLY IF ONE ABUSED ONE'S BODY, AND NEGLECTED ONE'S HEALTH, DURING YOUTH, AND MATURITY.

THANATOPHILIACS ARE RIDICULOUS CHARACTERS WHO IGNORE HOW TO LIVE, AND ARE, REALLY, AFRAID OF DEATH.

PERFECTIONISM IS THE GREAT ENEMY OF THINKING; THE HABIT OF PERTINACIOUS HONING, I AM IMPELLED TO WRITE, IS THE MOST PERNICIOUS OF ALL HABITS FORMED BY CIVILIZED MAN.


/lit/ POSTERS DO NOT THINK.

>Please do tell how you would impose order without violence, [...] tripfag.

WHAT MAKES THE BARBARIAN A BESTIAL HUMAN IS NOT VIOLENCE, BUT HIS VIOLENT LIFESTYLE.

ORDER NECESSITATES VIOLENCE IN ITS IMPOSITION; EUTAXIA, IN ITS MAINTENANCE; VIOLENCE IS AN UNAVOIDABLE MEDIVM TO DO ANYTHING BEYOND AWAKENING, SLEEPING, BATHING, AND GROOMING, IN THIS WORLD; TO THE BARBARIAN, VIOLENCE IS AN END IN ITSELF.


>How often do you have to perform mental gymnastics to maintain your contradictory worldview?

NEVER, BECAUSE MY WORLDVIEW IS COHERENT & CONGRUENT.

>928. Orson Welles: "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn."

TRUE, ORSON.


>Why? Because your style is who you are.

TRUE, ALEX.


>Ergo, supreme self-confidence is a prerequisite for true style[...]

NOT «SUPREME SELFCONFIDENCE», BUT OPTIMAL SELFKNOWLEDGE.

STYLE IS THE MODE OF BEING PECULIAR TO A GIVEN ENTITY; STYLE COMES FROM PERSONALITY; PERSONALITY IS THE QUALITY OF PERSONHOOD; ONLY THOSE WHO KNOW THEMSELVES BECOME PERSONS: IF YOU IGNORE YOURSELF, YOU CANNOT BE STYLISH.

THERE ARE MANY OVERCONFIDENT AVTOMATA PULLULATING THE WORLD.


>[...] because if you lack that you will give a damn[...]

STYLE IS NOT NATURE, BUT ARTIFICE; NOTHING ARTIFICIAL IS DONE, OR DONE WELL, WITHOUT «GIVING A DAMN»; STYLE REQUIRES ACTUALLY «GIVING A DAMN».


>[...] and therefore unfailingly seek to make up the confidence shortfall by emulating the style of others, thus obscuring your true style.

STYLE IS A REAL CONSTRUCTION, NOT AN IDEAL PREEXISTENT: THERE IS NO «OBSCURING» WHAT IS LACKING.

IMITATION OF STYLE IS AN AUTOMATOUS BEHAVIOUR OF MIMICRY, NOT AN ACT FROM FALTERING WILL.


>Properly speaking, you won't even have a style, since you won't even have had an opportunity to develop it. And that's what the channers mean by "NPC".

OUTSIDE OF VIDEOGAMES, AN «N P C» IS SOMEONE WHO LACKS CONSCIOUSNESS, AND, THEREFORE, IS NOT A PERSON (A HUMAN INDIVIDUAL WITH PERSONALITY), BUT MERELY A HUMAN INDIVIDUAL (AN AVTOMATVM).


ADDENDVM:

I PREFER «GANGBANG OF REASON»; MUCH BETTER.

>[...] Homer, a work by several authors that gets attributed to one.


OK, ANGLOID.

IN DESCENDING ORDER, FROM GOOD TO BAD:


1. JEROME DAVID SALINGER: ONE OF THE BETTER LITERARY AUTHORS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE, AND OF THE BEST, UNIVERSALLY.

2. HOWARD PHILIPS LOVECRAFT: MEDIOCRE QUASILITERARY AUTHOR WITH MORE IDEAS THAN TALENT.

3. JUNIOR TOLKIEN: GORMLESS PRODUCER OF FANTASTICAL KITSCH.

DONUT TART'S WORK IS NOT LITERATURE; IT IS PURE KITSCH, AND YOU ARE NOT «DARK» FOR LIKING IT, NOR «ACADEMIC» (?); THERE ARE «FANS» OF «VAMPIRE ROMANCE»; OF «TEEN APOCALYPSE»; OF «ROMANCE DYSTOPIA», ET CETERA, AND THERE ARE «FANS» OF «DARK ACADEMIA»: MERELY ANOTHER SPECIES OF THE «YOUNG ADULT» GENRE.

>it's shameful to be happy


HAPPINESS IS AN ILLUSION; NOONE CAN BE HAPPY, BECAUSE THE STATE OF WHAT IS VAGUELY TERMED «HAPPINESS», IN ALL OF ITS MISCELLANEOUS VARIATIONS, IS REDUCIBLE TO INDULGENT CONTENTMENT, TO THE SORDID RELISHING IN MUNDANITY; FOURCHANITES HAVE ALWAYS RECOGNIZED THIS FACT INTUITIVELY, IF NOT COGNITIVELY, HENCE THE AVERSION TOWARD THE IDEA OF «HAPPINESS», AND TOWARD «HAPPY INDIVIDUALS».

>CURSILERÍA GLOBALISTA DE ESPECIE FEMIEMPODERADA.


NO SIRVE NI PARA LIMPIARSE EL TRASERO.

>POESÍA TRADUCIDA.

WHAT GOOD ARE BOOKS WHEN YOU ARE DUMB?

«THEY» DO NOT NEED TO HIDE ANYTHING FROM «YOU».

>WHEN A BICAMERAL ATAVISTIC SPECIMEN MAKES A THREAD.

IMAGINA PERDER HORAS DE TU VIDA LEYENDO NIHILISTA PSEUDOLITERATURA FRANCESOIDE...

WHEN I WAS TWELVE, OR ELEVEN, YEARS OF AGE, I WROTE A SHORT STORY FOR A CLASS ASSIGNMENT; IT ENDED WITH EARTH EXPLODING; EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT THE STORY WAS FUNNY, AND ENTHRALLING, BUT WERE DISAPPOINTED BY THAT FINALE; WHY IS THE VVLGVS SO AVERSE TO UNHAPPY ENDINGS? THIS IS WHY LITERATURE IS DYING: EVERYONE WANTS KITSCHY SCHLOCK, AND THERE IS AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY TO PROVIDE IT, AT THE EXPENSE OF ACTUAL LITERATURE.

METAMODERNISM, AND HYPERMODERNISM, ARE MUTUALLY CONTEMPORANEOUS CURRENTS; THE FORMER IS WHOLESOME; THE LATTER: MORBID; THE FORMER RENOVATES TRADITION; THE LATTER AUGMENTS CULTURE; THE FORMER MOVES IN PRO OF THE MENDING OF THE TORN WORLD; THE LATTER, IN PRO OF RENDING IT FURTHER: HYPERMODERNISM IS TO GLOBALISM WHAT METAMODERNISM TO CATHOLICISM.

THE QUESTION IS NOT «WHAT COMES AFTER», BUT, RATHER: «WHAT IS NOW».
