Too late. I already invited all my friends who plan to discuss best-of unrelated content in the next thread.

I have a notepad for writing when I'm away from home if I come up with something that will go into the outline or manuscript. It also has a simple task list of writing goals I have every day.

I use two monitor setup at home. I have a manuscript on the monitor in front of me, and also have an outline for the manuscript on a monitor to the right. I use the outline to help me hit the beats for each scene when I'm writing, and remind me of where I intended on dropping themes, foreshadowing and the key emotions I wanted to bring up.

I'll give it a shot. Thank you so much!

Does anyone have the philosophy reading guide that that one anon kindly made? It was a google doc if I remember correctly.

Monarchy exists because we allow it.

If they step out line, they'd better get ready for the invisible hand, followed by the invisible fist and the invisible boot if necessary.

Satre is what happens when you get Heidegger wrong and make a philosophy out of your newly acquired, shitty understanding.

>First, I didn't understand why if a man desires freedom for himself, he must desire freedom for others. It's pretty confusing.

That is precisely because it is wrong.

A man's freedom must necessarily come at the cost of others' freedom. Bread must be wrung from the sweat of other men's faces, and you can rest assured that the salt only adds to the flavour.

>Second, he says that if a man doesn't feel despair when he realizes that when he makes a choice for himself, he's defining all men in the world, he's acting in bad faith.

A weird but not unexpected combination of the Categorical Imperative and ressentiment. Sartre's 'bad faith' is almost identical to Nietzsche's ressentiment.

You can learn the hard way to disregard all 20th century French psychoanalytic/postmodern/poststructural hacks, or you can save yourself the trouble. Choose wisely, OP.

Mostly because I only started reading for myself about a year ago I am still reading through the classics. I got caught up in a lot of Russian works about six months ago and just finished TBK the other week. The closest book I read to coming out this century was IJ.

The whole idea of a "red scare" is pretty stupid when you consider that it was entirely justified, as the Venona Papers proved. McCarthy was generally right on the money.

This is about the most sophisticated level of discourse I've come to expect from postmodernism.
