/lit/ - Literature

if there is platonic truth why art always changes? if perfect works of art, as they are received in their time, were truly that they would have the same effect now. but they do not, we feel as if they are old. hence we produce more and more new art, we are never satisfied with classics.

argument that none of them achieved the true form is a fair one. but unlike modern technology, writing with pen and paper have been available for thousands of years. how come no one could achieve the one perfect art, not even one? doesn't that tell us reaching for something perfect is futile when it comes to art?

Is The Message the most enlightened way to read the Bible?

If someone was going to write a book about Western NEETs comparing them to Japanese hikkikonori, what questions should they ask to interview subjects?

I just realized there's no anthropological book examining modern NEETs.

I know the “novel” wasn’t really a thing at the time but let’s just be anachronistic and say they were. Do you think Shakespeare, if he chose to write one, could/would write a good prose novel? Why or why not?

Hey what’s the “meme trilogy” for 21st century books? There’s Call of the Crocodile, clearly. But what else?

I would like to be catholic (maybe) but because I live in Finland which is majority protestant/lutheran country, it just feels like I would be always larping and never real catholic. Maybe Orthodoxy could be great compromise because Orthodox Church has a legal position as a national church in Finland, along with the Evangelical Lutheran Church so it wouldn't feel as much like larping because there is history of that church here.

But I'm bit sceptical of anything with ties to Russia so there's that. Luckily Orthodox Church of Finlanf is autonomous archdiocese of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and not Moscow but still one can't deny that Orthodoxy is heavily assosiciated with Russia so it feels bit like Trojan horse for Russian propaganda.

If racial differences are purely economically created, why can't richer nigs who've been able to write books, ever write something that isn't just whining about not getting enough gibs or pretending that they're still suffering from slavery well over a hundred years later and blaming everything on white people. You'd think there would be a number of influential authors writing about literally anything else, but it seems all they can do is seethe about their race's ineptitude and vent by projecting it all to whites.

What some good books from Bulgaria?
