Make sure you understand this one first. Writing ahead of your time requires a strong metaphysical grounding.

Hunter S. Thompson typed out all of The Great Gatsby, word for word, just so that he could get a better feel for what it’s like to produce sentences like that. He claimed it helped his prose by a good margin

It’s a incredible read the relationship between Sancho and Quixote is one of the best relations in literature remember that all his wacky shit isn’t comedic it’s messianic Quixote should be seen as a hero not a fool. Quixote is a super nova of life and human creativity. Really pay attention every time him and sancho speak to each other you’ll realize he’s not just larping as a knight

nope, there's still yet no metaphysical tomes that have dethroned them. D&G have had disciples in the institution while they were alive, this is not the important question. Anyone can have disciples on the inside, because the inside has to maintain the illusion that it is everything, so it will entertain any thoughts. The only thing the institution will not entertain is the things its selected to be impotent, and therefore unnecessary to integrate within itself to pacify, such as a fascism.

The question is, do they still have disciples that are outside it that are willing to destroy the institution, and the answer to this question is yes.

Perhaps if they are dethroned, suggest a better and more recent metaphysics to me, then.

Do you think this would actually work/be worth your time? Seems like a lot of work for something I'm not sure would necessarily help.
Would it help in ways other than prose too?

Emulating is a great way to create. In fact I'd argue creation is inherently a failed emulation based on failed interpretations and your own experiences.
Many of my poems start with my misinterpretation (or reinvention) of a poem I've read, and they're actually good too

That's where you're wrong bucko, he hunts watermills to. According to Unamuno, he hunts factories, telegraph lines, machine guns and tools for hysterectomy as well. Unamuno basically reads Heidegger's entire technology shtick into Don Quixote, and looking at the chapter on the Art of Combat, where Don Quixote decries how naval artillery and gunpowder have reduced men from an entity of quality to an entity of quantity, he's not entirely off the mark, if a bit reaching.

>Quixote should be seen as a hero not a fool.
Honestly, he should dissolve the distinction like any good Shakespearean fool. I remember nearly dying of laughter at the episode where he is assaulted in his chambers by a cat, and throws it out the window. But I agree with the rest, there is great wisdom in him, and a very peculiar dialectical relation to modernity - he is something as strange as a revolutionary reactionary - baptizing himself and crowning himself a feudal nobleman in a modern self-constitution of subjectivity. It's incredibly funny.

though he isn't a hero in a traditional sense (and often makes things worse for those around him), his relentless human spirit and conviction in the face of a world that constantly spits in his face make him very admirable. at least thats what i gathered, i only read the book once and haven't read around it that much
