We have less than 8 hours. How do we protect Waldun from this Welsh fuck?

[Anonymous No.18920720]

You don't need to worry about Waldun, for he no longer exists. Finish him Welshie!

I fear nothing for I have already finished my defense of Waldun's oeuvre. I expect the same of all my fellow waldunchads. See you in the comment section.

[Anonymous No.18921003]

>>18920966
Yes, the battle will be fought in the comment section. I will attack KD's interpretation of the themes and then support Waldun by suggesting his more recently written work, Passing Tales, surpasses L'Academy in form and hearty chuckles.

Scholars, how can we defend the fake Milton quote? Obviously Waldun knew it was illegitimate, so why use it? Was it simply a meta-commentary on a future with no context? A midwit trap? Or was it something more?

It's a reference to the made up Ecclesiastes quote found in "Simulacres et Simulation" by Baudrillard. Its function is to tell well read people the work they are about to read is also about "Simulacres" too.

[Anonymous No.18921082]

>>18921059
Ah of course. The knowledge students gained in L'Academy were simulacra of knowledge, correct?

[Anonymous No.18921113]

>>18921082
Yes, my fellow waldunchad.
The fourth stage of signs is pure simulacrum, in which the simulacrum has no relationship to any reality whatsoever. Here, signs merely reflect other signs and any claim to reality on the part of images or signs is only of the order of other such claims. To Baudrillard this is a regime (notice, REGIME) of total equivalency, where cultural products need no longer even pretend to be real in a naïve sense, because the experiences of consumers' lives are so predominantly artificial that even claims to reality are expected to be phrased in artificial, "hyperreal" terms.
Waldun is very fond of French intellectuals. This is no coincidence.

>>18921041
Well, old bean. I dare say the struggle Mr. Waldun battles with is that of identity. He is, of course, an Occidentphile, though Asiatic in origin. This culture clash has caused what the contemporary surrealist Christine Weston Chandler would call a "dimensional merge," in Waldun's life (naturally the character of Eddington is going through a similar upheaval.) In a stroke of meta-genius sprung from the very lips of God, Waldun is telling us that in this book, the lines between what is true and what is false have been blurred. It is a coded message to those of us who may read further. A warning that we might not like what we find in those luminous pages: ourselves.

I would never suggest that the Welsh need to be exterminated outright. I am saying that they are a stain on the fabric of humanity.

I must defend my fair maiden, Waldun, but I lack the means. Help me, my fellow knights of old!

I hope this doesn't happen. It happened with the Learned Disguise but hopefully Waludun has developed thicker skin by now. He needs to literally take the F. Gardner approach. Nothing seems to bother that guy and he literally put out new books and mass advertised on here of all places. Robin's a great writer but I'm scared the critics will get to him.

[Anonymous No.18921748]

>>18921736
The scale of attention is completely different. Gardner didn't get 8 threads all with 300+ replies. I don't think there's been a single video reviewer or non-meme reviewer for any of his books

[Anonymous No.18921763]

>>18921736
I just wish people would stick to Waldun posting here and not make YouTube videos. I imagine it would be easy enough for him to avoid hearing people shit posting about him when it’s confined to 4chan, but it will be harder when people are taking it to other social media sites.

[Anonymous No.18921764]

>>18921748
Just looked up Call of the Crocodile on Youtube. Yeah there's a few. They write totally different types of books so I doubt there's much overlap for their readers.

No, there's not. There's Gardner's own Youtube channel which has his audiobook. This is the only "review"

[Anonymous No.18921823]

In the description here it’s clearly some fan. If this was Gardner himself he would be shilling this audiobook nonstop through his ads.

[Anonymous No.18921858]

>>18921846
I checked out his videos. Sounds like he's mumbling about the book while he's playing a game or showing a video game on screen. not the traditional booktuber or book review, but I guess it counts
