Do you like Leonard Cohen? I like some of his poems, and his novels aren't really good, he really shines in his music and lyrics.

Nope, married with kids. We both love Cohen and saw him in concert a few years back. Shame he's gone.
>>9227952
Yes. He writes some junk, especially in his last book, but in his early collections like Spice-Box and Flowers he manages some amazing stuff. And of course some of his song lyrics are classics, as well. Book of Mercy is a different kind of work, but worth it for the right reader.

m8, go read Republic and watch The Big Lebowski. There isn't a cabal of Jews ruling the world, mass delusion is how humanity has always operated. Society is not controlled via an elaborate conspiracy, it's humans acting on delusions of self-interest and fulfillment.

Two things you should do if you aren't a fag

1) Stop annoying people on /lit/, Lennon said "whisper words of wisdom" because only a twat/Socrates yells out the secrets of the human condition.

2) Realize that the rabbit hole is infinitely deep and that you've barely poked in your head. The human paradigm is finite and an open mind has virtually infinite imaginative ability if you give it the right circumstances. The true nature of human sexuality and the art of manipulation/influence are baby shit compared to what you can see with literature, poetry, philosophy, meditation, psychoactive substances, good music, sleep deprivation, lucid dreaming, high art, and talking with other open minds.

Stop wasting your time and enjoy the best things in life

McCartney was the one who wrote that line and Lennon very much yelled out what he thought were the secrets of the human condition in the late 60s and early 70s. Ever listen to Imagine?
