Prove the scientific method works and/or is infallible without using the scientific method.

>On train heading home from the days adventures
>Snuggle comfortably down into one of the bench's, engorged in the lavishness of my turtleneck-sweater
>As I begin to pull out Infinite Jest for this months re-read, I pick up the rustle of turning pages from somewhere else in the car
>I remove my phone and turn on the reverse camera so I can peer behind me in full secrecy
>Notice a busty young harlequin perusing through some dog-eared copy of The Da Vinci Code
>A burst of passion swells in me, to fulfill my duty as a Knight of the Literature Lifestyle
>I storm majestically towards her and shout "HAIL!" with my beautiful soprano voice
>She appears shocked, no doubt swooning internally
>I swipe the garbage from her hand and toss it across the car
>Thankfully I brought along my second copy of Infinite Jest with me that day, and hand it to her
>"It's high time, my young Fraulein that you indulge yourself in some real literature. I bestow upon thou this great work, for thine enjoyment and pleasure."
>Clearly intimidated by my brevity, she slowly reaches up and grabs the book from my hand, still flabbergasted from my erudite prowess
>At this exact moment the train arrives at my destination, so I depart with the young lady posthaste, knowing full well that another young heart was won that day by this modern Casanova

examples of /lit/ with classless societies?

like Lord of the Flies would be a stateless society, and the Dispossessed would be a classless society

Two questions:

If a state was violently overthrown, how do we proceed to the stateless paradise?

If we take a gradualist approach, what kind of things need to be done to put a country on the path to a stateless paradise?

/v/ wouldn't recognize good taste if it lubed up their collective asses and fucked them into submission

No problem and don't worry, I've not given up.

I needed a break from that show anyway; I feel like I coddled Mabes to much. I miss her and that show now though, so I suppose it's working.

I heard most Asian languages don't have worlds equivalent to transcendent and transcendental and therefore do not allow the possibility of discussing problems such as transcendental consciousness, unconscious manifestations, etc. so most Asians just have different means of coping with their "acting out" and generally ignore the problem of individuality.

Marquis de Sade.

So mad he went into the annals of history for it and a whole term of depravity was named after him.

Bitches be lovin' the Murakami.

Trust me. She is aching for some 'Norwegian Wood', she just doesn't know it yet.

Sup /lit/.

I'm taking a course on medieval philosophy and I have no idea what philosopher(s) to work on (we've been asked to pick a subject that interests us and write a paper on it instead of an exam). I know little about medieval philosophers aside from the usual prejudices. I know most of them discussed similar problems (individuation, universals, destiny or free will, divine nature etc.), but I have no idea who's the most important (or rather the most competent in stating his case) and professors tend to focus on each one's contribution (perhaps even exaggerating their importance to the history of philosophy).

I'm mostly interested in metaphysics (individuation, universals, intentionality, even art if there is any connection between metaphysics and art in medieval philosophy), preferably something that I can ponder even in relation to modernity (German Enlightenment for example) and least interested in theology, logic and politics (mostly because I can get better answers from modernity/postmodernity, as far as I can tell).

Any suggestions?
