I know many books but I just don't feel like naming one right now. Maybe another time.

I haven't read the book. Is it actually good, or does it get praise only because it is written by a woman?

Banned today. Or, maybe, yesterday; I can’t be sure.

>read about how PoW were sometimes raped
>get horny
wtf is wrong with me?

any books where the protagonist is a directionless, friendless wageslave in his late 20s?

contemporary philosophy has become too complex for even the educated individual and as a result, it has become completely irrelevant to modern society
reactionary low-tier grifters who call themselves intellects on twitter has taken the role

i want to be a fascist but I'm not white and living in a white country
sucks but wjat can you do

I want books that I own to go out of print so they become rarer

To ignore the dozens of immediately obvious arguments against anti-natalism and attempt to engage with them on their own ludicrous terms:
>if consciousness inherently brings more suffering than pleasure, this should hold true for *all* consciousness, human or not, otherwise you give rise to the possibility that some people do not suffer and your argument becomes inconsistent
>in an infinite universe, it can be assumed that conscious life must arise more than once
>if ending all conscious life is necessary to end suffering, then it is selfish and morally wrong to allow these hypothetical other conscious beings to continue reproducing
Morally, would not antinatalism require adherents to continue living (and thus reproducing) infinitely until you've evangelized your ideals not just to the entire human race, but to an infinite universe of infinite conscious beings?
If not, does the core conceit of "antinatalists don't kill themselves because they first need to ensure no one else will reproduce" not fall apart? You'll have admitted that you aren't able or willing to "save" everyone, and at that point what's the difference between converting all humans and leaving the rest of the universe to suffer, as opposed to just killing yourself now?

What are some non-reddit sci-fi and/or fantasy authors?

I’m writing my dissertation on Finnegans Wake

It's garbage, man. Think for yourself. Why must you pseuds always cling to 'authority'? No wonder you can't write—you can't even think.

>If this be so, then, indeed, we may think of the soul as an immortal—if the immortal, the imperishable, must be impassive, giving out something of itself taking nothing...
Giving out necessitates diminution; diminution necessitate destruction; destruction necessitates mortality. Is the soul self-destructive? No. The soul is not giving out but instead must be growing in. It is positive abundance.
>Whatever possesses Existence is supremely free, dwelling, unchangeable, within its own peculiar nature. And can any increase bring joy, where nothing not even anything good, can accrue? What such an Existence is, it is unchangeably.
Plotinus mistakes Existence for Existing. (As he did in the above excerpt when he mistakes 'soul' for 'soul-ing'). I've written this before, but I will write it once more: I believe—in regards to the Platonic Forms—that the Principle has been abandoned in favor of the Purpose. The Is Good, is abandoned in favor of the Being Good; Permanence enters Eternity—Permanence regresses into Eternity. Be turns into Being. This Being is not an Eternity, but is(-ing) an Eternity(-ing). The present-continuous as you know it. Eternity is accruing; thus, Existing is accruing. Hence, Happinessing and Joying are accruing so long as Sadnessing and Grieving are not destroying them.

What you're failing to understand is that that 'someone' is a man, anon

>Dad found the manuscript where i blame him from failing to protect me from his sex predator cousin.
It's not looking good, lads.

Genuine question. How are you, who shall be in Heaven, supposed to be overwhelmed with a feeling of joy and happiness when there are those who sinned less and atoned more for their evils than you—yet nevertheless did not believe in the Lord—but will be suffering all the while you bask in everlasting bliss?

Why is it that the earthling suffering of others (which isn't real because it doesn't pertain to the soul) supposed to cause you pain, but the spiritual suffering (which you claim IS real) should not?

My plot are my characters

Eye strain was killing me so for the first time I tried listening to an audiobook instead. I am never going back.

Have the claims of guys like Hegel and Kant ever been confirmed by science or is it all just made up shit?
