It is contrary to any high aesthetic purpose. Aesthetic experience is magnified by being "objective", that is by purely considering the object of the experience.
In the domain of eroticism and sexuality, consider the difference between the following experiences. On the one hand you see girls, their shapes, their motions, and you want to fuck them, might even explicitly picture yourself doing it (which is a very different kind of insertion). On the other hand you see a man fucking them and fool yourself into imagining his actions to be yours. These are very different psychological relations, and the second is always very limited in the depth of emotion, in addition to introducing an unnecessary interpretative bias.
You can see the damage self insert plebs have in literature on any one star goodread review page of a classic (same for movies or other media). It is filled with morons that "couldn't relate to the characters" instead of considering the characters themselves (and perhaps secondarily how they would relate to them). Of course porn is frivolous, but that is no excuse to indulge in self insertion.
Wanting to see a man in porn is barely above fatasses and trannies asking for representation in video games.

>>16455074
What about it?
I think the main draw to me was being both a clear initiator of a school of spirituality with an emphasis on Incarnation while being a rigorous rationalist (as common in 17th century France, and he was one of the masters of Descartes). His writings express well the madness of such an abstract being as God taking part in reality.

Banter. I'm not even from a country like England or Australia where it is part of the culture. I'm American. Essentially, if anyone jokes around, I can turn the tables on them. This never applies when I'm tired. I will get wrecked if this is the case. When I'm on, I outclass everyone. I could tell you techniques if you all wanted, but the gist is to simply be creative on the fly. You can't teach that in a day.

>>16454892

Well I'm definitely not an expert but I have a smattering and the ambition to become an expert in several obscure fields, ranging from the sensory biology of Amblypygids, the biogeography of stygobiotic Erpobdelliform leeches, Peirce scholarship. I am perhaps an expert in the quasi-mystical practice of taking nitrous oxide and other anesthesics as a tool for direct phaneroscopic('phenomenological') observation, but I have yet to fully study the history of that practice in the 19th century. I'm also looking to the use of theoretical metaphors to treat metaphysical inquiry in the terms of natural sciences. So I'm interested in essays like 'mans glassy essence' and 'rhizome' which use metaphorical treatment of life histories, slime molds/'protoplasm' on one hand and rhizomatous spreads on the other. If you have any other examples of the natural sciences being used metaphors I would appreciate it. I prefer the rigorous Peirce style but essays like rhizome and ancient ones that don't try for that scientific exactness are still of interest and do go a long way in showing how rhetoric and the difference between metaphorical induction and (attempted)deduction determine what and to what possible extent these metaphors are good for when it comes to the ideas they communicate or discover.

>Something I have done, though by my profession a divine, yet turbine raptus ingenii, as he said, out of a running wit, an unconstant, unsettled mind, I had a great desire (not able to attain to a superficial skill in any) to have some smattering in all, to be aliquis in omnibus, nullus in singulis, which Plato commends, out of him Lipsius approves and furthers, "as fit to be imprinted in all curious wits, not to be a slave of one science, or dwell together in one subject, as most do, but to rove abroad, centum puer artium, to have an oar in every man's boat, to taste of every dish, and sip of every cup," which, saith Montaigne, was well performed by Aristotle, and his learned countryman Adrian Turnebus. This roving humour (though not with like success) I have ever had, and like a ranging spaniel, that barks at every bird he sees, leaving his game, I have followed all, saving that which I should, and may justly complain, and truly, qui ubique est, nusquam est, (he that is everywhere is nowhere) which Gesner did in modesty, that I have read many books, but to little purpose, for want of good method; I have confusedly tumbled over divers authors in our libraries, with small profit for want of art, order, memory, judgment.

Sure. How much contact was there between Cornish and Breton kings per-Charlemagne? I know they were effectively cousins, but I wonder if there was ever a sort of over-king that held sway on both sides of the channel. Really anything cool about early medieval Brittany would be neat.

Sorry, forgot about the thread. The trick is to accept any and every attack that might make you feel insecure and have humility. Banter stops when you are hurt. On retort, you want to first look for hypocrisy. That requires knowledge of the person. It helps to have a good memory and to be an active listener. A stranger being a dick doesn't know shit about you either, so you just need to be more sure of yourself than them. If you don't care, let them be a dick. This has consequences. They will see you as an easy mark if they are natural bullies. And finally, never let their jokes land. Make them repeat themselves or misinterpret what they said. Having to retell a joke is never funny. Being witty is something you have to work on. Creativity is practiced. Have an imagination and know what is funny. Funny is more objective than you think.
