/thread.

Reminder, this is a forced meme by discorders, usually LGBT, specifically transexuals. Just take one read of the "meme" in OP and it tells you all you need to know about the depraved sodomites behind thees threads. These memes aren't /lit/ and I wouldn't even say they meet the bar of being memes in the first place that is how bad they are. Fuck Nick Land pseuds, fuck BwO deloser and guitari pseud shit, fuck "read theory" forced memers, and god damn all redditors and homosexuals to hell.

Zizek talks funny with funny mannerisms

>>14192648
Not very cutting. Better version of this could be made. “Thinks books are better than movies” is a weird box, shows the creator was running out of ideas. Misspelling of accelerationist is embarrassing too. These images are supposed to make the person who reads it feel shame, not make the person who put it together look retarded.

I am God. I am at the center of everything that happens to me and I am everything that I do to myself.

>>14193486
Does that count as religious? Theological, maybe, but religious? And regardless, mind is the first thing Stirner calls a spook. Stanning it is what he calls the phase of "Youth."

I don't really know, and i don't really care. But you now have the resources to find out if you do

>>14192648
1. I don't really see the point of writing fiction. When I do write it is almost exclusively thoughts that have been stuck in my head that need to be released through some medium.
2. Every story in Dubliners is very comfy.
3. I see no reason to use that word. If I plan to insult someone for being celibate I would use a more creative slur.
4. I don't care about any "established" literary politics
5. I have many original thoughts about the books I read. The problem is how does one know if their thoughts are original if not everyone's thoughts on a particular piece are accessible. That's stupid. Only God can know that, and I am not God.
6. I am 21. While I am no genius allow me to remind you that Mozart wrote his first symphony at age 8.
7. Assuming that there is a cutoff for excellence is a false mentality.
8. No one can be right about everything.
9. I like showcasing my organizational skills.
10. I rarely start threads, but when I do they are not meant to ask questions or get yer noggin joggin more to troll and to create jest.
11. I have never visited that website before. I imagine it says that many of the books that are in /lit/'s yearly top 100 books are in it which would make everyone who uses this board a brainlet.
12. I have never done that.
13. When I first discovered 4chan(circa 2008) I would shitpost for hours on /b/ with posts that contain well under 5 words. I imagine my average is still under 10 words per post simply due to my old barrages of filler.
14. I am not a fast reader. I read very slowly and end up most of the time having to read sections multiple times.
15. I have never done that. The closest thing I would do is just calling someone whose opinion I don't like a "faggot".
16. Western civilization is not in a decline, it is shifting, but a decline is too pessimistic for my taste.
17. In public yes, online no.
18. In all cases no. For example the Lord of the Ring movies were far better than the books.
19. It's fun to use
20. I don't own a car and when I move I try to move at the slowest rate possible.
21. Never read one, not even to be ironic.
22. I have mostly been exposed to secondary sources, and I don't think that one is especially fit to be solely for learning. A combination of primary and secondary is necessary to ensure proactive learning.
23. I have been in a deep depression for many years now, but I have been turning around gradually.
24. God is Good
25. I haven't read any of his works yet.

remember how commies were vicious and insufferable and eventually everyone ended up getting tired of their shit because they couldn't go five minutes without setting up a little tent in the middle of whatever and turning it into a jerkoff drum circle

remember how they evolved a bunch of thought-terminating cliches and insta-kill 0-skill click2win memes and used them to terrorize the shit out of the internet, and how those memes were shit like "no1curr" and just emptyquoting you

i mean you don't, obviously

>>14197457
also, "social issues" shit like >lmao 2 genders is how they're going to kill the populist/anti-money-lizard part of the "alt right" or whatever. that's what they did with OWS, that's what they'll do with this. they'll sideline you into wanting to bully autists and fruits on the internet while they continue fucking you in the ass

>>14197481
take your meds, schizo

>>14197499
the populist thrust of modern opposition politics will be deflected so that its momentum is squandered on pointless social issues, so that it poses no threat to economic globalism or the agenda of capital, and so that it discredits itself, and I know this because I've seen it happen once before

how is any of this "schizo", are you illiterate or just deaf to idiom

Please, Stirner, you're embarrassing me. Watch:
>The Spiritualists have the most enormous power in their hands, and, if they once became thoroughly conscious of it and used it, nothing would withstand them; they would only have to stamp a manapoint value on paper, regard it as the representation of labor that is therefore theirs, and enjoy it. This is the sense of the Spiritualist disturbances which show themselves here and there.

>The state rests on the gullibility of apes. If belief becomes free, the money is lost.

>>14192249
ok so you're just a cunt for letting five people die when u could've saved them by killing one. and dont be a moralfag like durr all murder is bad durrr, killing one person to save five is clearly the moral solution.

>>14198279
So if someone is in critical condition in hospital we should let them die because then we can take their organs and save five other people with them.

>>14192648
>claims the western civilization is in decline with nothing to show for it
Isn't that proof itself? You know, we are supposedly the living embodiments of that civilization, so if one is a complete loser, it's only a portion of the actual decline that is going on.

That's true, but only because the Internet serves as a remedy from the shitshow of Capitalist realism. But I can understand capitalism is slowly seeping through which is why we're getting more Coombrains. The remedy would be Gnosis through the usage of the Internet

>>14204340
>internet alienates people from society
That's true, but only because the Internet used to serve as a remedy from the shitshow of Capitalist realism. But I can understand capitalism is slowly seeping through the Internet, which is why we're getting more Coombrains and no one's aware that they're also being affected by Capitalism. The only true remedy left would be using the Internet for Gnosis instead.

>>14198524
I started Chinese. Things that worked for me

>Start and finish Duolingo (set it to the five lessons a day level, and leave it there for about 5-6 months and you'll finish). It's pretty bad and it's not gonna get you to fluency (and OH GOD is it not going to get you to fluency) but it doesn't cost a dime and you'll start getting an ear for sentence ordering structure without needing a textbook

>Concurrent with this, either drop the cash to get a memrise subscription or find the top Anki deck and start grinding vocab flash card decks, preferably with the vocab in sentences. You DESPERATELY need vocab when you start out, and with Mandarin, at least, there's no real shortcuts besides memorize the radicals (which are also often vocab anyway) then just do it every day.

>If you have time, Find a textbook and copy what you see.

>If you have time, start watching TV shows with the subtitles in the target language (NOT ENGLISH MOST IMPORTANT PART), even if you don't understand it your brain will be trying to understand, and will learn from context, slowly.

The above is more than enough for your first year.

Lastly,
>Know that success in non-english languages is measured in years and sweat: it takes an estimate of 2,200 class hours to learn Mandarin. You often can go faster on your own with language learning, because you can enforce ruthless efficiency on yourself and won't need to wait on other students who don't get it yet, but if your hours aren't AT LEAST better than class hours, you'd need to be doing more than five hours a day to reach fluency in a single year. I suspect Japan is no different, and it might be worse.

It's a struggle. Don't start unless you really plan to go the distance, because the first 6 months are suffering and the next 12 are only marginally better.

i agree with almost all of them except those.
jesus and Socrates (yeah ik socrates was kinda tryhard) were too good for their time, dos and tol were somewhere between midwit and smart, kafka didn't even try to be intellectual and nietzsche was unironically pretty good, unique and full of different ideas and concepts.
zizek could have made it into this list if he stopped his "le smart hermit" cosplay and Chomsky could have made it if he ditched linguistics and stopped being a centrist cuck about everything.
nick land was beyond saving the second he started taking accelerated substances and sartre is a crosseyed sad cuck but he gets kudos for not being an anti-soviet pussy like his peers

You're a retard. The current internet is shit. But anyone believing it causes alienation clearly is too young to remember the suffocating hellscape of preinternet suburbia
The internet set you free, that most people don't know better than to use that freedom to throw shit is on them

I rarely post here

I don't post soyy faces on here, but I do on /mu/ (so I didn't count that one)

>>14209459
>me irl

>>14208109
this, its just a weird hodgepodge that doesnt fit anyone at all, it seems more like a collection of what one person dislikes and then projected into a weird abomination strawman.

>>14209926
>Unless we keep the church and state separate
But we actually do. Now Muslim countries on the other hand don't. Although robotic technologies are not expected to arrive there in our lifetime.

Accelerationists desperately trying to meme by tying everything to Land.
Same as this thread, it's just a cryptoacc thread. Congrats on posting in a bait thread everyone.

Are accelerationists just the last desperate stand of the bugmen and their delusions?

>>14205982
Did you???

>>14205590

>>14212628
A good chance.

>>14192648
I got zero but I'm not leaving til I find somewhere better than /lit/. Depressing as it is, lit is the best place on the internet to discuss literature.

>>14206991

I just like finding fun books with fun ideas cuz reading em makes me happy.
I don't care too much about discussing, so I like shelf threads where
I can see a lot of books and get good recommendations based on what I already like.
Also, anybody who says they still have original thoughts is full of shit.
If you've read a book and had thoughts about it, there's somebody else
who's also had those same thoughts before you.

Not really selling me on secularism here.

No bingo. I just stumbled on here after browsing
/mu/ /wg/ /gif/ and /fit/ for a while. I just decided I want to pursue a literature degree after fucking around for 4 years post high school and it seems like a nice place :^(

Didn't DFW say this?

>>14192648
To explain the color-coded chart:

Red-Hard Yes, Nietzsche. If you disagree, see >>14191389
Orange-Semantic Yes, While I think my own thoughts about what I read, I doubt I have any original insights that haven't been previously expressed more eloquently elsewhere.
Yellow-Guilty by Association, While I likely share characteristics with the Doomer, and observers would likely apply the label to me, I do not apply it to myself.

>>14214175
No it's a comparison between 1984 and Brave New World.

>>14212707
Good. However, I do like Lindy for his personailty. Always take his arguments with a grain of salt, but they are usually interesting, if ill researched.

>>14192640
Been looking for the original of this for aeons. Thanks, this will do.

It’s an addiction and I can’t do anything about it
I hate all of you

>>14192648
I occasionally find new books that I wouldn't have heard about otherwise. I also enjoy watching autists argue.

>>14192648
I'm still here because I like seeing what other people say in the hope of synthesizing it to my own thoughts and progress my own personal views through disagreement and discussion.

Remember the /lit/ zine for .. uhh, ten years ago?

I wish I saved those pdfs because they seem to have died along with the old wikia site hosting them.

Oy vey my friends. Someone better ban this vile antisemitism.

Yeah, they’re the pseuds

>>14212851
>Jordan Peterson
politics and culture aside Peterson doesn't really have much going on. yeah he is a professor in psychology but all he does is recite the curriculum he learned professionally and read a few statistics.
self help advice territory is very very very prone to pretentiousness and pseudointellectual and his 12 rules is not close a bit to '12 books of the Meditations'. it will probably lose its relevance in a few decades.
his maps of meaning is much better but it's still not outrageously good or unique.
he is actually a well read person but like all midwits (including a huge part of this board and me) he understands but can't say or make

>>14212707
Now this is a a good list.

2nd one is Heraclitus (Fire is le most fundemental element)

>>14212707
Better, but Zizek and Land aren't really on the same level as everyone else here. You can disagree with them, but you can't deny they're well-read intellectuals.

>>14197091
is this on pastebin so i can post it on my instagram?

>>14211587
were talking about the lives, not the ashes tho.

>>14216577
That is fucking brilliant.

>>14206512
Why is this nice? Got any more?

"Yes, indeed," he screeched.

This thread is just awful, genuinely the least funny thing I've ever seen. Thread quality truly does depend on the OP.

>>14192324
terrible

So what’s the /lit/ consensus on ready player one? Good or bad? I personally really enjoyed both the movie and the book but I’m willing to submit my opinion for change if the hivemind wills it

scaruffi has never been wrong about anything

Has never been wrong or is not even wrong? There's a difference.

Hasn't he argued against age of consent laws?
Either way, Trout Mask Replica is overrated
