>>6281876
What is Foucault actually saying here?
I know it's a To Catch A Predator joke, but..

>>6281879
He's saying that banning pedophilia just makes it taboo and therefore more pleasurable for the sick fucks who are into it.

wheres the threads about the book reviewer?

>>6281887
Ah, right. Is Foucault always that dense?

Sorry, I am not a particularly clever man. Despite that I enjoy Pinecone, Duras, Woolf, McCarthy et al, I struggle with the density of philosophical writings like that.

>>6281483

>>6281888
never forget

>>6281893
Dude, no big deal. I've never read Foucault in my life. I'm just a grad student, and I have to read a lot of scholarly articles and books and stuff. Scholarly writing is bad, philosophy especially. There are a lot of reasons for this, but I won't go into it. You begin to gain a skill at finding out what these motherfuckers really mean after awhile.

>>6281904
So is it dense, obfuscating and otherwise difficult to read to keep the normies out?

Triadic development, I believe, refers to thesis, anthithesis, synthesis mode of thinking largely admired by Marx and Engles.
However, it would be plebeian to simply settle on the opposite of what your former stance was (the thesis) for the sake of fashion, thus being a hipster i.e. wack in the wise words Hegel.

>>6288718
Which, furthermore, makes me miss the joke as there is nothing comedic about missing the synthesis of the triadic development or whatever.

Fuck philosophy anyway.

Not sex, unless you're the only alpha male in miles. Not kissing either unless you're pretty alpha too.

You make her laugh and give a good impression. You get her number and plan a second date. In the second date you may attempt for a kiss, but it MUST feel natural otherwise it's RAPE weird and everything will fail and everything will be futile and everything will be lost.

I could have sworn he did though.. doesn't the story mention how his wings knock things over and stir up dust so he doesn't use them or something like that? It's been a while.

>>6293624
He's described in a way roughly analagous to a beetle (including the wing cases of a beetle) but AFAIK it is never definitively established if he actually had wings. Nabokov made a theory that he did (further theorizing that Gregor was able to fly) and a sizable number of people have accepted it, but I'm in the camp that he did not have wings.

Because then the UN wouldn't be created as a consequence of WWII, and we would all die in a nuclear war.

(WWII + Hiroshima/Nagasaki wouldn't serve as a warning, and the tension which led to a global wonflict would be potsponed to a time in which we had a more destructive weaponry)

No such thing.

A Catholic priest, a Protestant priest and Graham Priest walk into a bar. The Catholic priest says "I'll have a whiskey", the Protestant priest says "I don't think I shall", and Graham Priest says "I'll have what they're having".

Yeah, but without WWII, no proof, and no traumatic first use.

It would have been a tiny bit less of a taboo, which could have mattered in 1963 during the Cuban crisis

A young, fresh and cherry STEM student walks into the halls of a sterile English department with his head held high. Stern and with a proud heave, he bellows through the cavern at the beanie-sporters scattered through the hall:

" WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER STUDY, HEATHENS? "

Seven fragrant dreadlocked beards spew coffee from their continental gullets. Free-range hens shuffle out a window somewhere.

" WORDS ON A PAGE OR THE FUCKING COSMOS? "

An emergency evacuation is called. Afghan clogs stuff the exit. Native tears are shed. A triad of cauldrons full to brim with boiling kamquat loose their bellies with a fever on the frantic patrons all around. The shelves are raided. Looters stuffing oriental knapsacks leave no kitsch untouched.

From the roaring depths of chaos in the halls, through sheets of stirring fire: calm and rigid comes up looming in the haze a stoic English professor, tailored suit to keen perfection, forty thousand pages full of Marx and further reading in an unstained palm.

Expressionless, with firm phenomenologic hold on mind and body, he whispers to the STEM student, currently engaged in evil laughter:

" What would you rather study, child? "

The student is hushed. Voiceless. The man has snared his subjectivity entirely.

" Nature - or the nature of nature? "

Of an instant all the place is silent. In the corner, captive underneath the groins of several existential theists, one brave soul begins to clap. Soon the place is flooded with cheer.

The next day, all sciences were cancelled nationwide. The shells of disenfranchised rockets sheltered lonely bohemians everywhere. All was well.

I luv me a gud wordsworth

MESSAGE TO EBOOK "READERS": Oh, you like reading too? What’s that, a Kindle? I bet you’re a real bibliophile. I bet you spend minutes every day “reading” whatever YA trilogy was just recommended to you by Emily in Sales Planning. I bet your idea of purchasing art is picking up a copy of Water Lillies at Bed Bath & Beyond. Let me make one thing abundantly clear. Unlike you, I do not love looking at digital words borrowed to me by Kommandant Bezos. I do not love ruthlessly gutting the innocent publishing industry in the name of bankrolling original online video content. And I do not love wrapping my hands around LeVar Burton’s neck, squeezing harder and harder until I can no longer hear his desperate cries for a literate, caring society. But you certainly don’t have to take his word for it, you fucking pleb. So just go ahead and take that seat. Hunch over your little slab of plastic and engross yourself in the romantic foibles of teens doing battle in a dystopian society. I will stand tall with this hardback edition of Ulysses, my wrists straining and biceps trembling beneath a panoply of vaguely-linear subplots. I will turn each thick, rough-cut page with relish while you tap at your capacitive screen like a pigeon in a Skinner box.
