Controversial opinion: ASIOAF should have been a graphic novel series, not a traditional book.

People ceased to become clairvoyant after the practice of omen sacrifices ended, not in the sense that a sacrifice actually allowed one to see a direct course of action but in the sense that a sacrifice always proceeds a course of action. A spy had only too look for pyres to anticipate action , then they had too look for candles but once they had too look for notes the present had outpaced the past and the political air had become combustible to all but the antiquarian, the superstitious and the pessemist

Do you think Landini knew he was going to be the greatest medieval composer or did it just happen naturally?

If $20k will be enough to hold me over until I get a new job. It will probably take a few months to a year. I’m planning on quitting in January.

bad idea

So, in all seriousness, is anyone buying/reading cotc?
I see ads still but since the shills seems to be pretty effectively removed they just seem like relics. is Gardner actually making money?

>>19578107
People are capable of posting on /lit/ for eight years about an author, politically identifying as a (thatauthor)ian, and never actually reading him beyond his wikipedia page. You think people are paying for a print on demand book by some shill?

The guy has spent thousand on 4chan ads for nothing.

How do you cope with the end of history? thousands of years of incredible history, culture, literature, music, other art, exploration, and it all amounts to what we see today: a turbo Untermensch lumpenproletariat underclass of self destructing white people and rapidly multiplying 3rd worlders all completely and utterly enveloped by nihilism ruled over by deranged internationalist oligarchs as the entire ecosystem of earth dies around us and every inch of the planet is corrupted

I know if I want to experience any sort of contentedness I have to let go, of everything I have ever cared about, every dream i have, and just accept that its over, but everything ive surrounded myself with from the music and literature to he family and nature all reminds me of what we are losing, and my heart is screaming at me that that is unacceptable, so i exist in a perpetual state of demoralized torment unable to let go

You know, I’m well aware that the world as a whole is in for a rough time. But in my little space, right now, things are going okay. And I’ll try to keep them that way. Maybe that’s the solution: countless little islands of stability in an ocean of madness.

>>19578149
i know that is exactly what i should be doing but damn do i ever find it hard to just sit back and build an island while feeling so demoralized

>>19578027
Why?

>>19578133
Well, the world is always ending. Micro and macro institutions are always collapsing. Families dissolve. Is the demoralizing experience by Westerners today any different than, say, what the divorced man already knows? I know a woman dying of cancer, and she basically has told me as much: I feel like the world is ending.

I don't have any morale boosting advice, really. I'm not a therapist. I'm getting married next year...I'm working on my PhD...I work on my art without any awareness of a deadline. Things may get very bad in my lifetime, especially given the city I live in. I don't think I'm naïve. You think you're grandparents we're scared? It's all a gamble. Anyone who brings children into the world knows that.

As far as what motivates me... (not that I'm giving advice)... I have a fundamentally religious view of the world...I have plenty to accomplish as an artist and a husband. My job, thank God, is not the be-all and end-all of my life. I have a few good friends. I definitely appreciate the small things, which by no means are really small things. The fact that I'm even here to witness the end of the world is certainly some kind of blessing. I don't know what else to say. I'm a happy person. I think it's a matter of personality.

As I interact with women in becoming more social, I realize that they are insufferable 9 times out of 10

>>19578133
I think “the end of history” is only a transitory period that will sooner or later come to an end.

>>19578368
thats because you're basically admitting you're at the bottom rung of society with no clout, so you have no choice in the women you get to hang out with. its like a homeless person who sleeps outside the 7-11 saying that most people are cheap.

>>19578133
>>19578271
Perhaps it is a cope, but I do not believe things can stay the course as they are. All it takes is for one bad couple of days, and I could see the whole thing breaking and having to be reformed from other hands than those at the top.
The Boomer generational narcissism applied even to old fucks like Soros or the Rothschilds, they didn't teach their demonic spawn shit and are now drifting into geriatric senility

>>19578120
>The guy has spent thousand on 4chan ads for nothing.
That’s the only part I find hard to believe, but I guess it must be true…

>>19578377
Opposite side, I work and study fully time so the forrays I make into a social setting are only done at deliberate intervals. I could just as easily go without any social interaction, but I won't meet people that way so I must wade through the chaff searching for anything worthwhile.
But, you'll just say this is cope as neither of us can provide evidence on either point.

>>19577894

>>19578368
I have never felt my misanthropy restricted to one gender. Just as one cuts above the other cuts below

>>19578371
transitory towards what though? all the signs point so something repulsive

>>19578402
Of course, most men are petty and insufferable in their own ways. Weak to temptation, shortsighted, incapable of claiming or even wanting anything worthwhile, but the ways in which women are different yet similar is new to me, if that makes any sense. The fresh knowledge here makes it novel

>>19578107
The book isn't that bad. It's sloppily written and the author is a schizo but it's fine overall. There's no way there's profits behind it though.

I will be the only successful author to come out of /lit/ because I actually know how to properly market something.

This quote always stuck with me. I don’t think it’s an accident that the theme of that quote is present in other works loved on this site, like Berserk.

You can write the best book of all time, if you don't market it, no one will even give it a chance.

The thing that strikes me most about the modern world is that people seem to be incredibly proud about being on medications and having their supposed illnesses. They jump at every opportunity to tell you about how broken they are and assert their encyclopedic knowledge of trendy (almost designer) drugs.

It's like a race to the bottom.

>>19578452

Does anyone else find others hands unnerving? When you look at a hand it is like a face in that it is very distinguishable. I have to guess it is because we are very aware fo our own hands as our exposed most detailed limb we constantly see, and when we see others hands in similar distance we project them as our own which we also simultaneously reject to some level, but gloved hands are also somewhat innerving so I would have to geuss it is becuase the hand is a dynamic threat which can strangled, or punch or skewer with its fingers.

>>19578540
i remember a friend of mine, who isn't even "based and red pilled" or whatever, telling be about how much he hated university, and one of the reasons he gave was that apparently everyone there made their entire personality into a sort of contest of who was more fucked up from everything from their workload to personal problems, basically anything they could find to "brag" about, like everyone had this sort of "woe is me" attitude, but it was completely insincere and absolutely laced with a sense of smugness and superiority

imagined dialogue with imagined wife. She's working on something, paperwork, at a table, and I'm kind of reclined in a chair. I begin to motion toward her, and knowing me she, without looking up, says "No." and so I sit back. And I smile. And I sort of exhale through my nose and say "this is a good time". Without looking up she says "what is?" and I say "I get to tell you that I long for you, that I dream about you and desire you, and you get to reply 'Well, that's nice and all, but would you get a grip' and I get to sit back and think to myself '... Fuck.' ... that's a good time."

>>19578601

Watched John Carpenter's film Escape from New York and realized that nihilism, while based as fuck, spells destruction of society if given to the unwashed masses. Basically the truth is not safe in the hands of fools--they misinterpret it--and a successful society is built upon lies (fashioned by good men who understand the necessity for lies. Lies by bad men only destroy society in a different) which the masses consume to perpetuate their stable nation/state, etc.

The key to inner strength is to minimize your dependency on others. At a glance this axiom seems to go against human nature considering that we need others for almost everything. I'm no libertarian. I understand that we are a social species and that the soul withers in isolation. That said, the fundamental source by which you can be undermined, exploited, or disappointed, is other people. In fact, these words have no meaning absent reference to a social relation. The solution is not paranoia and systematic distrust, even though scammers, manipulators, deceitful sluts, betrayers, and cowards proliferate the ranks of humanity. The solution is to never offshore what you can do for yourself onto others. In this way you will also become stronger and more self-sufficient.

One should only ever offload the most vulnerable and precious aspects of oneself which are impossible to satisfy through one's own strength onto the most trusted of others. In other words, only trust those who you love and who love you back.

Been talking to this girl who is an actress that appears on broadway, tv shows, and various minor films. She is completely smitten over me. She is probably the coolest girl that I have ever talked to, but I will be leaving nyc for a new job by august next year and I don't think she will want to do long distance or come with me, despite my salary will be able to support her. No idea what to do, pursue it to see where it goes, or end it early?

>>19579104
> I don't think she will want to do long distance or come with me, despite my salary will be able to support her.
It looks to me like you already have an understanding that it won’t work out like how you want it to. If I’m wrong go ahead and ignore me, but the way you wrote that makes me think you’ve already come to the answer and are current hesitating to follow through.

>>19577820
I’m so retarded and pathetic. All I do is obsess over a girl that doesn’t live in my country, doesn’t speak my language, and isn’t even 18. She says she loves me but I don’t know if I believe it. She sends me all kinds of pictures but I imagine that she sends them to other guys too. Maybe it’s just her personality but I always feel like the one that’s more interested. She’s always in control and I feel that she knows it, it’s written in her face, her voice. It’s all very confusing to me because we do talk every day for almost a year now, she sends emojis, she says she loves me, but I only think negative thoughts. These days the easiest way for me to cum is to imagine her with another guy, I would never willingly be a cuck but I can’t believe I’m actually fetishizing over this. I wish I never met her but for some reason she just seems perfect. She’s not objectively perfect, I know that, but I can’t explain it, she seems to be made for me and I’ve never felt this. I like younger girls, this is part of the problem, and I can’t just mess around with young girls in real life, so maybe I’m just pouring all these desires into her. The chance of being with her is small, but I’m scared that if I don’t keep going, I’ll never be able to develop a relationship with a girl that actually moves my heart.

>>19579189
you are deranged

>>19579201
what do you mean do better? I’ve never liked a girl more than her. I get aroused just by looking at her face. And she likes me too, she writes my name on her and her social media. My only real fears are that she is promiscuous (just like her mom, idk if it’s genetic) and that we won’t actually be able to be together due to distance/language/family/etc. issues. But all other girls just seem boring honestly

A girl you cannot talk to, cannot physically connect with, doubt her ‘loyalty’, and whom you’re afraid to leave because you think this is the best it gets for you. What do I mean do better? I mean do literally anything else. This feels like a borderline Lolita shitpost. You have the equivalence of a relationship with this girl that weeaboos share with their anime waifu. It’s no wonder you think other girls aren't worth it, you’re effectively ‘dating’ a fictional character. Please tell me you’re trolling. I suspect you’ve got some serious trauma. Either way, seek help.

> fears that she is promiscuous (just like her mom, idk if it’s genetic)
It’s not genetic but it’s easy to form a connection between a woman and her mother. They share part of their genetics, and most of their environment so it’s usually an alright identifier of how they will be later in life.

Life is bleak but at least I'm not >>19579189

in an odd turn my love at first sight has turned to pure, animalistic lust. at just 19 she embodies basically ever quality (minus a high IQ) I abhor and I can tell she just wants to be fucked into non-existence like the rest of them. This isn't true but it must be for me to convince myself to total her tiny frame. I resisted at first out of a good will, out of care for the weaker sex but I can see I was naïve. With her dress and her actions she invites and demands bloodlust and with her words she sings the gospel of Compassion. I was fooled by her high IQ anons or maybe it was my self-deception machine writing a pleasant story for the noble side of me to be lead. I wish I could finally solidify all I've learned about womankind to short-circuit this again because its a waste of time. I guess I will just give her what she wants.

Hello. I'm a narcissist who, as expected, grows close to people only to discard them later. I don't do this in some cartoonish nefarious manner like through ghosting but by putting no effort in keeping contact, even if we were quite close. I like the friends I have had for a while on a surface level, but if they were to all cease contact with me I'd be fine with it. I am very friendly, humorous, and almost buddy buddy with others but solitude has become a comfortable default. The last time I felt truly happy in the company of others was when I was in a physics lab with 3 other guys in community college. It felt like I was back in high school, making jokes and laughing hard at stupid shit and having a good time. I haven't experienced anything like that in so long. I have artistic ambitions and talent and I want to change the world with my work but I feel empty.

>>19579896
You know what. My life doesn't matter. A normal happy life does not appeal to my nature. I will always harbor grandiose desires and seek to feed my vanity. My life will instead be devoted to creating and leaving something of value. That way I will be worshipped and admired while providing the world with something worthwhile.

I can't wait to post my stack on Christmas Day bros. I've got a bunch of titles coming I've ordered myself, plus whatever books I get for Christmas. I hope you guys have been treating yourself this Christmas season as well. I also bought myself some beers. I'm about to crack this bad boy open, which is the only book I've bought myself online for Christmas to arrive so far.

Half awake this morning had an intensely vivid and realistic dream of kissing this girl I know. It was so insanely realistic, I could feel the warmth of her breath against my mouth and the softness of her lips against mine. I woke up feeling warm and content, but as the day has worn on I have grown depressed and miserable.

>>19580082
those dreams are like a drug. a real treat a first, but then you awaken and face the reality of your existence and they become absolutely crushing reminders of what you are missing

>>19580082
>>19580092
My dreams the past few years have been very muddied since starting Sertraline.

The covid pandemic is the greatest power play and act of psychological warfare ever. It is continuous with the war on terror and digital mass surveillance , the next extension of an emergent totalitarian system of oligarchic capital. It is the first wave of a new neo-feudal serfdom. We have been duped, enslaved by fear.

"The rhizome is altogether different, a map and not a tracing. (...) What distinguishes the map from the tracing is that it is entirely oriented toward an experimentation in contact with the real. The map does not reproduce an unconscious closed in upon itself; it constructs the unconscious. It fosters connections between fields, the removal of blockages on bodies without organs, the maximum opening of bodies without organs onto a plane of consistency. It is itself a part of the rhizome. The map is open and connectable in all of its dimensions; it is detachable, reversible, susceptible to constant modification. It can be torn, reversed, adapted to any kind of mounting, reworked by a individual, group, or social formation. It can be drawn on a wall, conceived of as a work of art, constructed as a political action or as a meditation. Perhaps one of the most important characteristics of the rhizome is that it always has multiple entryways (...) A map has multiple entryways, as opposed to the tracing, which always comes back "to the same".

the idea that you can build a decent society based on class warfare is so completely and utterly fucked up and asinine. unironically both the capitalist/aristocrat reminiscing of serfdom and the leftist are both retarded

Deaths of the loved, deaths of the hated and deaths of the unknown are all on my mind right now. It's weighing me down, filling head space with extra baggage I don't need. I have other things to think about now, other thing I should be worried about, yet death occupies my mind all the time now. What can I do to stop it?

>>19580179
Yet we currently live in a society based on class war.

>“There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning.”

I hate you with an unfathomable energy. Die and burn you vile conniving corrupt filth. All so the rich who pay you can become richer. Burn in hell scum. You will face your fate. One way or another. Your lies will drown you in the filth you puke.

A truly deranged mind came up with this "comic."

>>19577820
i'd give my middle nut to have two nuts

i have a kind of theory about the origins of english
old english (pre-norman, or anglo-saxon) was purely a language for nobles and clergy, and the vast majority of commoners spoke whatever variety of old celtish or vulgar latin or old norse that circumstances made
after the norman conquest, anglo-saxon (with heavy norman syncretization) was actually spread throughout the nascent medieval bourgeoisie with encouragement from the french-speaking monarchy as a way to help standardize the french feudal style of governance that the normans put in place
this process of institutional linguistic promotion eventually evolved to make early modern english (16th-17th centuries) which was now focused on helping assimilate peasants and colonial subjects into the civil society of the towns and ports, usually autonomously and even against the structures of the old feudal society which were dismantled rather quickly via the reformation

>>19580738
the transformation of english civil society during the wars of the roses, shakespeare's globe theatre, the revolutionary protestantism of cromwell and the levellers/diggers, the spread of anglicanism in africa, is all connected somehow
that's all

I have been this trendy meme videos under the title of "REJECT MODERNITY, EMBRACE MASCULINITY". I funny how how they think that this cult of self-improvement, bodybuilding, vulgar consoomerism, sports etc. are examples of peak modernity. They romanticise Zyzz who was a steroids using narcissist and yet somehow this isn't "muh modernity". Another irony is that they think of homosexuals as a part of "degeneracy" and at the same time use visual from movies about Spartans and Romans. There are creating another scapegoat by showing handful tiktoks of landwhales saying some bullshit about fats rights when generally every normalfag hate fat people and they're nowhere mainstream. They think of themselves as "aesthetic rebels" with their kitschy bullshit in le ugly world when neolib fashion industry with its ethical eugenics is one of the highest profit generating industry in the world. Most of them will say "it's just a meme bro" but deep down they're totally sincere and don't want to admit it.

faith in God. things, by necessity, manifest the Good, over time.

(I speak about) "dionysian" paganism without pantheonistic structure, nomad by nature, tied to nothing at all, nothing is static, there is value in ritualistic dance, in mask-wearing, entering trance, the true nature of The World is ever-changing

i had a dream that i caught a ride to work with some coworkers but instead of taking me to work they took me to the uk which was cool but i was like dude i still have to work tonight is there a internet cafe or something so i do my work remotely? then i had to piss really bad and i tried to use the bath room but it was really old and green like something from one of those masterpiece theater movies on pbs about wartime, also it was just stalls in the middle of an office and i was too tall so old boomers with mutton chops were looking at my while i try to hit the bowl without stepping the pond of water flooding the floor.

you will find that this process of 'building' is on rails of which you have no say where they lead. years of wondering why you act in such ways will force you to look and admit to yourself that control was never really in your hands and this whole journey has been one of discovery.

Shut up faggot and learn history before you give a one word reply to an age old question. jfc you fucking zoomers are sustained by a brutal 'motivation' that will lead you to your suicide when you see the walls close in on you. I will leave your dumbass with a poem by John Donne.

“Tis all in pieces, all coherence gone,
All just supply, and all relation;
Prince, subject, father, son, are things forgot,
For every man alone thinks he hath got
To be a phoenix, and that then can be
None of that kind, of which he is, but he.”

>>19582781
Your own fucking poem doesn’t back up your logic you bitter faggot. Nobody is preaching that you can be a millionaire because you set out to be. The options available to a man are always different, but they are his decisions to pick from. It’s not my fault you are wholly subservient to outside forces both in mind and body. Nor is my intention to claim subservience is directly some magical lack of agency. Give this one a ponder you hack:

Somewhere in the far reaches of the world, away from the strife and struggle of man, there exists a tree whose entire purpose is to replace the oxygen you’ve wasted. Do it a favor and give it a break.

>>19582822
>Nobody is preaching that you can be a millionaire because you set out to be.

This is precisely what everyone is preaching. If you disagree with this then you must admit to the reality of external forces (luck, fortune) as well as the attributes that drive you internally which have been set since your birth. If this doesn't sound like discovery then you must not be introspecting far enough. As far as my poem if you actually can't see how it accurately acts to explain the self-worship engine which propels the world then you're an idiot and I'm sorry.

>>19582796
fuck you, get off the internet brother.

Anyone wanna see my feminine penis

>>19582872
>Discovery is what you should do not improvement!
You have fun with that. I’m still waiting for a toddler to discover themselves into anything of value. Your intentions may be right, but your logic is incoherent and you aren’t able to see that. I’m unconcerned about some ‘self-worship engine’ or others claiming everyone can wonder into extreme degrees of success. That was never the contention. You’re spilling your spaghetti all over yourself. This is you arguing incompatibilism.

>>19582872

>>19582906
You keep questioning my logic and then give no place where you find the error, so I'll take it basically as a rhetorical strategy. I've spent my whole life improving while being surrounded by lower class unwashed limp-wrists who don't have the Will to ask for a change of seats for a better view. It took years of beating friends on the head, attempting to change others lives and so on to realize something about my self, namely that I had the Will and they hadn't. This is the form of discovery I'm talking about. Perhaps this counter-productive in a thread full of absolute shit-tier losers but honestly I don't give a fuck.

>>19582914
its not in this thread. its all over YouTube and social media. The Gary V motivation funnel etc.

>>19583042
> give no place where you find the error,
Let me spell it out for you as clearly as I possibly can. This is your original contention before you went off on some ridiculous influencer rant:

> you will find that this process of 'building' is on rails of which you have no say where they lead.

>control was never really in your hands

This is contrived bullshit as I’ve been stating yet you seen to be ignoring the point this entire time.
As so:

> The options available to a man are always different, but they are his decisions to pick from.

>Nor is my intention to claim subservience is directly some magical lack of agency.

>I’m still waiting for a toddler to discover themselves into anything of value.

Control is in the hands of the individual. Nobody claimed that this is absolute control nor that it’s even displayed always. I.e. deciding on subservience. Control is the ability to choose not to send a post, just as it’s the decision to continue shitposting on a Mongolian basket weaving forum. It is also the ability to walk away, to flip the table over. This is ALWAYS in your capacity. Discovery is not an equivalence to improvement. You cannot discover what is not there to begin with, as I mentioned with the toddler quote. Your only choice is outward growth, not some ‘introspective’ bullshit.

>realize something about my self, namely that I had the Will and they hadn't. This is the form of discovery I'm talking about.
Hahaha holy shit you’re kidding. Talk about ascribing yourself to be the phoenix. The irony is palpable.

> its not in this thread. its all over YouTube and social media. The Gary V motivation funnel etc.
Great so you, yourself, agree that this wasn’t even a topic for conversation until you shoe-horned it in.

>>19583042
And just in case you can’t put two and two together. If we can agree I can turn an automobile’s steering wheel two degrees to the left, then we should both be able to reach the conclusion that I controlled the direction. Swap ‘steering wheel’ for life choice, and ‘direction’ for where you end up.

What is your favorite Pepe/Wojak?

While I'm reading, even if I focus intensely there are some pages or some passages i don't understand. How does someone improve their reading skill to quickly, easily and with understanding read something difficult? I'm currently reading 1984.

>>19583245

>>19583283
Well if there’s something you cannot understand I think the most immediate answer would be to seek an external aid. Be that a friend to whom you could question on the subject, or maybe annotations, dictionary, etc… Another thing that comes to mind is simply waiting and pondering over it yourself, until you arrive at a conclusion you believe to be true. I believe that ‘How to Read’ book also covers this, but it’s been a while since I’ve read it so I’m not familiar with the specific contents.

>>19583294
ive always wondered what the official lore is

>>19583283
There is no short cut anon, you just need to read more. Read and re-read until you understand what you're reading, break it down if you have to. If you do this you'll exercise your comprehension muscles and eventually return to 1984 and wonder how you ever struggled with it.

I'm sort of about to read the Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell, and I'm wondering about what a Heroine of a Thousand Faces would be. I'm not coming at this from the perspective of a feminist however, one who wants to bring the feminine into the world of the masculine and sees any movement towards the contrary to be the root of all evil. What are the mythic roles women have?

The first one that comes to mind is the Valkyrie, the female warrior. While every single movie and video game comes out with woman fighters who consistently prove themselves just as competent or moreso than their male counterparts, I do not believe this particular role is actually explored. The myth is not about swords and super powers and fighting, it's about a female individual entering/inhabiting the masculine realm and overcoming. What we get nowadays isn't that women can inhabit male roles, the message is instead that there should be no male-centric realms whatsoever (while female-centric realms are sacred.)

The second female myth that comes to mind is the Beauty and the Beast. I feel that the taming of Enkidu in the Epic of Gigamesh is an example. I don't have many thoughts concerning that mythic role, however.

That's all I've got for this post. Bye.

>>19583538

Today, I went for a bike ride to my local small coffee shop and read two chapters of The Idiot.
It was my first time bike riding in a while, and I did it while fasting (my first meal of the day was a burrito and bagel from said shop). My weight loss goal is coming smoothly, I enjoy ittermitent fasting
Before leaving I got a small peppermint mocha as a conceded sugary drink, and because it feels Christmassy.
A regular customer came in, a friendly old man called “Popeye” by the staff. He mentioned how the cold makes his nipples hard which made me laugh.

One of the newer workers talked about both how her boyfriend allows her to sleep with other guys, and how he plans to propose and have a large family. This bothered me for reasons I can’t fully articulate.

>>19583628
>One of the newer workers talked about both how her boyfriend allows her to sleep with other guys, and how he plans to propose and have a large family. This bothered me for reasons I can’t fully articulate.

Their relationship will not last and the poor guy is coping out of his fucking mind. Love demands ownership and dedication.

>>19583245

>>19583609
You may be interested in some perennialist approaches to the subject, like Metaphysics of Eros by Julius Evola and, slightly weirder, Elémire Zolla's The Androgyne. But before that, I would recommend reading Sexual Personae by Camille Paglia which like Campbell's book is influenced by Carl Jung.
>Paglia argues that the primary conflict in Western culture is between the binary forces of the Apollonian and Dionysian, Apollo being associated with order and symmetry, and Dionysus with chaos, disorder, and nature.

Sexual Personae is a tour de force in general. If you're the kind of person who enjoys reading Campbell you will definitely like it. Again more on the weird side of things, check out Weininger's Sex and Character. Specifically in relation to this:
>What we get nowadays isn't that women can inhabit male roles, the message is instead that there should be no male-centric realms whatsoever (while female-centric realms are sacred.)

Also I recommend looking at D.H. Lawrence's notion of "sex in the head," or the andrygonifying effects of losing sight of the essential and pre-rational distinctness of the genders:
https://counter-currents.com/2013/08/d-h-lawrences-phallic-traditionalism/
https://counter-currents.com/tag/hawthorne-lawrence/

>>19583639
I should maybe note that there were two workers with similar voices and I didn’t see which was speaking, so it could be that they’re different instances (I don’t believe so though, I think it’s the same person).

I feel like people in open relationships all miss the connection between the body and spirit when it comes to sex.
Sex outside a committed relationship is vain pleasure-seeking that only inflates your ego and drives you further from genuine love. There’s no reason to have an open relationship outside hedonism

So I am reading an Andy Warhol biography and holy cow that one feminist who gets shilled here sometimes tried to kill him. I didn't know his life was so interesting, I thought he just drew soup cans and pop art.

The events of the past two years have just confirmed to me that I was actually right about normies. I used to think they were just a bit conformist but still capable of thought. They are not.

Most of my society accepts shutting down the economy and instilling tyrannicla measures. To combat...a cold. A cold which kills a few old or obese people like all colds.

I will never consider normies anything else than cattle again.

It depends where you live. Where I live almost everyone believes it.

What do I do bros? I dont think I'll ever find someone who I can truly be open with about my sincere values and then remain on good terms with them, so I've sort of accepted that I'll have to put on the act forever if I want companions, and yet I also remember reading that ultimately having different moral values is the greatest dealbreaker in relationships. What is one to do in a situation like this? I think I value having people in my life more than I value my politics, but it feels wrong to live a lie forever.

30 days sober from weed.

I should feel good but I just cant. There is still a bug lurking deep within me. Its screaming. It wants to turn off. It wants to get high and it wants to know when it can get high. It needs a date but I cannot give it one. I'm still a fiend and I need to do what's right and keep going. At least that's what I think is right. I don't know. Its all so tiresome. The other night I had one of the most disturbing dreams I've ever experienced. In the dream my cousin had recently committed suicide and we were visiting my aunt to console her. While we were there she told me to go to his room and take whatever I wanted as souvenirs. There were so many cool things in his room...but all I wanted was the weed in his dresser, I was tantalized by it. Awful. Even in my subconscious I am haunted by the leaf.

Anyways. Tomorrow I have a 2nd round job interview for a company I would really like to work at. I am not religious but if there is any sort of higher power or divine entity that cares about me, I pray that it will bless me with good fortune and give me a chance at real life. I'm tired of the hellish "degenerate-simulator" that my life has become. Id like to find some solace. I'll end up at the bar regardless of what happens though. It seems like the bottle is the only thing that makes me feel happy these days. Whatever. Goodnight.

yeah that’s the point, it’s all team sports and moral sentimentalism, perhaps in all cases as you’re arguing. So why do you care so much about giving hiding your probably stupid and irrational beliefs? They don’t mean anything, they’re not even wrong, there’s nothing

>>19585529
I hadn't really considered it art. I always thought of it this way: a drawing/painting/sculpture requires effort from the artist, a photograph requires a click. The camera does all the work.

Earlier today though, I read an article about this debate and how photographers take many of the same considerations into account that a normal artist might, like color, form, composition, etc.

do it bro. plenty of people have fun with casual iphone photography.
i used to buy like ~5$ digital cameras at thrift shops for fun and take photos whenever i would get high and hangout with my friends. it was really cool because every camera would have a different look.
in picrel the camera was so bad at capturing bright lights that it would produce this weird stream effect if you shook it while taking the photo. actually im talking out of my ass, i dont know why it would do this but it was cool

probably. my parents are worthless drug addicts with collectively about $17 in their bank account after 30 years of working.
meanwhile I'm the most frugal miser on earth and have turned down free weed because i detest drug use so much. I hand wash my laundry because i don't want to pay to use the machine. my parents were the type of people to spend hundreds of dollars a month on lottery tickets and cigarettes (and no, they never won.)

>>19585237
it depends on the active role of the parents, imo. active overbearing mothers will make copies of themselves, selfrighteous busibodies, but left to their own devices it seems children will naturally rebel.

>>19585237
I suppose I’m the odd man out here? My parents didn’t really put much effort into raising me. I was mostly left to my own devices, figuring out what works and what doesn’t. I ended up being quite similar in nature to my parents. I’m not sure I’m not sure I’d recommend the hands-off approach when it comes to parenting, but I don’t think I ended up bad.

what kind of music do you enjoy, friend?

>>19585725
>>19585726
as far as party music?

>>19585745
are you partying?

>>19578134
no, you can't. The fact that you can't, doesn't mean you won't. Take all the worlds day traders over the course of a year. Their returns will be normally distributed. Some will make 4x, and some will lose it all. If you doubled your money and you think you're a genius, you either are:

A) A brainlet who got lucky and doesn't understand statistics
B) Actually a genius. ie: you found arbitrage, or manipulated a smaller market. joe schmoe can't do this on the stock market, but you used to be able to on predictit, with a very specific market. Alternatively, if you are a HF, you can do this with the actual market.
C) A wealthy and or politically connected person. If this is you, you might think you're a genius, but you're not. You're just riding the coattails of the system of global capital and the fact that there are asymmetries in information distribution which in turn drive capital flow.
D) A grifter trying to sell something

But who knows. Maybe I'm wrong. Go yolo your savings on otm tqqq calls or whatever if you want to. Most of the people who do this probably end up better off spiritually after losing all their money anyways, so honestly, it might be a good idea.

Incredibly stupid person. Just because you dont experience anything, sitting on your ass, gettin angry over muh 3rd worlders and BBC propaganda on the telly, doesnt mean that mankind stops in it's tracks.
To the average peasant every single decade from Sumer to Boston would have just been another shitty experience. You're the peasant.

I don't know what I want anymore. There's this deep simmering discontent, a longing for something more but I don't know for what. There is nothing more. Every resolution I make is temporary. Too many options and no way to decide which life is truly best. I'm not even sure who I am. My memories are a figment of my imagination. My face an object reflected back to "me". I would like to see my face come undone, to watch as someone rips it off and fuck my eye holes.

Today I lied about my dad dying to two professors whom I respect. A new low

I just concluded that i have no recourse out of individualism and alienation, most people are just absolutely awful and i need to embrace hatred, not cower from it

Going to have to get a job very soon. Very lame development, I just want to read all day.

to all the dudes on here suffering from feelings of alienation and disconnect with the world and their own emotions: if you're in your twenties or younger, a lot of that will pass with time

i know a lot of what you read in books or watch on tv will make you feel you're some kind of alien robot who lacks the basic emotions you see in fictional characters or society at large, or that your relationships revolve entirely around getting wasted and/or getting laid, but as you age, you'll get to know yourself a little better, find a hobby or make connections with people

the more time goes by, the more you'll feel connected with your life and the things/people in it, and consequently the stakes will feel raised and you'll start to care about stuff

tldr: i found all of these highly relatable - i was once like you, but i got better

I turned down the final step in an interview process for an amazing graduate job as an accelerator physicist. I turned it down because my long term girlfriend who I live with does not want to leave the country where her elderly parents live. I didn't want to leave this woman and I have another job lined up doing software development that pays well (probably more than the one I turned down) and is in my current country, but I can't help feel depressed that I've turned down a huge opportunity to get a dream job.

I feel like I've permanently closed a door on the childhood dream of being a scientist. I am worried I will regret this for a long time and I don't want to become bitter towards my girlfriend about it. It's hard to speak with her about this as she feels responsible for my current mood.

I would make the same choice again, but it's just really hard, guys.

>>19586236
she is responsible for it and you will harbor this "what if" for forever if things like this keep piling up you will feel bitter and feel resentment towards her.I dont know why you cared about her opinion on this, you left your dream job because you girlfriend(not your wife) wanted to be close to her parents that are old and are going to die in the next 10 years probably
you are the man of the house your word goes stop being a pussy and and if another dream job presents itself in another country either drag the bitch with you and if she doesnt want to come with you dump her sorry ass

>>19586243
I completely disregard your opinion because it seems like you have never had a girlfriend (not wife) before. She is not responsible for MY decision, that is what makes me a man and not a pussy. I made the decision and I am the one living with it. I could have left, I didn't want to. It doesn't make the outcome of the decision any less disappointing.

But let me give you some advice. This attitude you have might make you feel like a man on the internet, but in real life this kind of idiot opinion is spat on, and for good reason.

>>19586259
have fun in your new job of software development after your relationship doesn't work out

>>19586276
It's a 7 year relationship and we have 2 kids, I'm pretty sure it's going to be fine.

>>19583821
Been a minute, but I interpreted it as him being in pain, he would've killed The Kid, even if by accident. "took you" with him as in, to death, had it not gone well.

>>19586068
>feelings of alienation and disconnect with the world and their own emotions
I have a specific premise for a novel involving this theme, not wanting to say too much, but it's actually more of a way to connect with others...
the only way to describe it is when someone calls you a samefag, basically. Or when you see those posts saying "x is literally me" or the "all me" pointing at several posts. Maybe my brain is broken on 4chan or it sounded better in my head, but it's essentially schizo posting in book form. Problem is that I can't be sure how to start a book or if people would even care/want to read something like this. It'd be a lot of mundane or "denpa" type of style too. And god forbid it actually gets published and my family would read what's going on in my brain.

>>19586357
What?

>>19579189

>>19586357
Maybe take a breath. I want to understand the idea but this made no sense.

i'm debating if i should go to this christmas party for work. i already dodged two in other departments, but i feel like i should at least go to one just to be seen by the dudes in suits who control the budget.

>>19586411
>>19586425
I've been awake too long maybe.
How about a different analogy.
Perhaps I mean to describe the isolationism, but also how people can be on a similar wavelength. Like how someone can generally sort of resonate with you, being so similar to you that you think and say the same things, at the same times, even. Like a connection that is there but unseen. So a sort of combating the loneliness, being able to "connect" to those other individuals. Maybe there is more than one of them, too. A kind of network of "these people". Does this clarify it? I'm probably kind of sounding like schizo babble at this point. And also why I have hangups about writing, I'm afraid it will be unclear in a bad way. Not like Pynchon or Joyce, but just a fucking ranting weirdo. But I also want that weird feeling to come across in the plot.

>>19586068
i'm in 30s

>>19586520
I think you're just describing going from being lonely to having friends, at least that's what it sounds like.

>>19586565
Yes and no, the people are also "you." I can't really describe it well I feel. Everyone is "you" in some ethereal sense.

>>19586520
>>19586648
For how long have you been awake?

>>19586068
It sounds like settling into mediocrity.

>>19582260
Wanna be friends bro? but just dont be a faggot about it

>>19585258
your fucking delusional mate get off /pol/ and dont read the news I did this since the start of the scamdemic and its been a fucking breeze lol

I would fucking demolish you irl faggot

>I feel like people in open relationships all miss the connection between the body and spirit when it comes to sex.
>Sex outside a committed relationship is vain pleasure-seeking that only inflates your ego and drives you further from genuine love. There’s no reason to have an open relationship outside hedonism

Confession:
I talk and think a lot about politics, ranging across the spectrum. Some of it is quite radical. At various points I’ve endorsed both communism and fascism.

But if someone said, “Anon, we’ll give you a high, stable income, a guaranteed high standard of living, and a wife who likes being eaten out in return for you never talking about politics again”, I’d take that deal in a heartbeat. Does this make me a larper?

After reading Oswald Spengler, I’ve come to realize how Hitler’s failure to manage relations with the Soviet Union and the invasion of the East was the single biggest blunder in all of Western history.

>>19587199
Brezhnev not bombing the US when they were weak after Vietnam was another huge blunder.

>>19587250
Quite possibly the dumbest post on /lit/

>>19587250
How is that a blunder on the part of the West?

In my opinion, the second biggest blunders since the world wars are the invasions and subsequent failures in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The last two especially.

Is it fair to say aphorisms are to prose narrative what lyric poetry is to poetry at large?
