To be fair, I haven't done a great job explaining why symbers are a problem. They're just thoughts right? Just stray threads of lost consciousness, melting hoarfrost. They're constantly vanishing. Who cares?

There are billions of them.
They form an endless gallery of imposing figures, great minds and mighty. Lovers and warriors who left behind echoes of their boasts, and there are so many. If you looked at them, you would be trampled. What emotion or thought of yours could dare stand before such haughty beings, who have nothing except what they hold over you, their strangeness and their tales of deeds. Even if (you) venture gladly among them, many cannot. These must be reassured that the jeering and whispered truths of the fierce ones are only frost, their cold jealousy of the living.

Books that support the conclusion that argument of force is the only argument worth considering and there is no truth outside of people who impose the narrative?

What’s the best artwork depicting that scene?

As soon as I saw foot fetish bait I knew someone was going to post the Boug

Does anyone on /lit/ have in their possession a long strip of comic which juxtaposes the fears of two others, one of which is H.G. Wells (and Orson Welles) on public control. I can't for the life of me find it.

Thank you in advanced.

I finally finished reading this (Longfellow translation).
I recognize the genius behind it and it's obvious Dante was intelligent and very well read but I really can't say I overly enjoyed it.
Would a different translation or more knowledge of Christianity (and its many notable contributors) increase my liking for it?

You should try some Gaddis. My favorite is a Frolic of His Own, or JR if you want a headache/challenge.

Not the one you're responding to but I browse this site for the high-quality content the boards provide in designated fields of interest. I'm not sure why 4chan is "morally depraved" -- is that your opinion? I suppose people are less filtered in their discourse given 1. the anonymity and 2. the lax discussion rules in comparison to other online forums; so is it a Bad Thing that people here make less effort to hide what they're *really* thinking? I would consider that an honesty facilitator. Why do you criticize honesty as morally depraved and/or think that religious people are supposed to avoid it? Or was it your idea that a religious person's earthly experience should not include familiarity with unsavory elements of society?
