Patricia Highsmith, Truman Capote, Jack Kerouac, Katherine Anne Porter we’re all antisemitic. Chesterton was antisemitic too. C.S. Lewis was transphobic in Pilgrim’s Regress. Herman Melville was a wife-beater. Philip Roth was a misogynist and treated all his wives terribly. Tolstoy raped his serf woman and was terrible to his wife. Dostoevsky abused prostitutes so badly they refused to sleep with him again. Hugo had sex with underage girls. Ann Sexton sexually abused her children. Pound was a nazi basically. The list is long

[Anonymous No.20861588]

Rate this idea I have started writing a novel about. I intend to publish it under the title given and enlighten readers with it through mass printing.
It will be a philosophically-inclined depiction of something that awaits us. A Hegelian synthesis of (supra-between) 1984 and the Brave New World, it will portray a plausible worst outcome for Humanity as it graduates from the 21st century.

SETTING:
>The novel starts in 2066, which is 10 years after the Modern System was launched and culminates in 2071, 100 years after Modernity started.
>The Modern System is led by the globe-spanning Representative Congress, which consists of Representatives: the Government, made up of Elected Representatives, and the Overseer, which is the Unelected Representative.
>The Overseer is a comprehensive AI program (and most crucially, NOT a strong AI) which forms guidelines, according to the Code.
>The Code was written by the Initiated—verified experts and ancestors of the Government—who were men in power occupying places from finance through politics ending on the military, with influence on the academia and broader education, and united by only one factor.
>You can trust the Overseer because the Code was written by verified experts.
>The Modern System was launched in 2056 by the Initiated in a planned response (following the Code which dictated the Past System) to the tense situation created by the low global birth rate, which was a natural human response to the Past System, which started in 1944.

>In 2054, the Second Cold War ends and the CCP makes peace with the Capital.
>This follows a global economic crisis that precipitated with the die-off of the Baby Boomer generation, and an intense political crisis between the younger and older generations.
>The value of Initiation rose as the number of the Initiated shrunk. Eventually the Initiated became a very small group, comprising only a few hundred people (and thousands of semi-initiated aspirants) divided into two camps: the CCP and the Capital.
>The Second Cold War thus ended with a compromise: The CCP and the Capital joined powers, adapting, and rejecting, some features of the other
>Thus the Modern System begins.

[Anonymous No.20861593]

SYNOPSIS:
Our Hero is certain Baruch Spinoza existed, and has now been set on a path to expose the oldest conspiracy known to Man. He calls this path his Prophecy.

The Hero was born in 2038 and was 18 when the Modern System began. He fit in perfectly but mentally he'd always been an outsider. In the Past World, he loved reading books, and at the end of the Past System he got into philosophy, although most texts had already long been out of print so he was forced to put his love of physical books aside and use his e-reader more. It still made him eccentric, as barely anyone cared for literature let alone philosophy in Modernity and beyond. Fast forward eight years, it was now the year 2064, late Winter, and our Hero was 25 years old, data science was his occupation, and he was good at it. So good, in fact, it was his third job already, and he was earning a lot of money. But there was something missing in his life, and he didn't know what it was. He struggled to name the specific issue as pretty much everything in his life had thus far worked out. He was agnostic and of secular, assimilated Jewish descent. After a year of contemplation he remembered Baruch Spinoza, whom he had read in his youth and whose views impacted him to a sufficient degree. He was now struck by a weird realization: he cannot find the name Baruch Spinoza anywhere, either on the Internet or in real life. This realization is weird because every other philosopher is there, in fact every other person the Hero remembers is there, except for Baruch Spinoza. He is now suffering a powerful crisis because he doesn't know whether he truly read anything by anyone carrying that name, or whether he just inaccurately remembered something, or whether it never happened at all and it was all just a figment of his imagination. This crisis was short-lived, though: he is certain Baruch Spinoza existed.

>Knowing the emptiness of data science and corporate work, he finally identified the issue following his metanoia (illumination). The System behind Modernity was itself the issue. The Hero had suffered another crisis, from which he did not recover so quickly this time. A tumultuous few months later the crucial year of his life had arrived. He had by now identified his goal: construction of a better system on the bones of the old one. He became frantic. He searched for Nietzsche, and he was there. Baruch Spinoza was not. He was again beset by metanoia, leaping from one field to the other, and the Hero was eventually grasped by an all-encompassing anamnesis one fateful spring evening: April 20th, 2066.
>The Lone Initiate is born, or what the Overseer would classify as an IPI: an Irreconcilably Problematic Individual. One who cannot be re-educated, can only be erased. And it is this knowledge that the Lone Initiate uncovered: Baruch Spinoza was one such IPI, and the Lone Initiate should watch his step very carefully from now on, or the thread of the Prophecy will be severed.

the book ends with the Lone Initiate giving up on his Cause and giving in to the rest of the Initiates who want to recruit him. he realizes power is all he yearned for all along
but then there's the epilogue. with 2071, Eternity starts, and sometime after 2071 Plato is about to get erased from memory, when Our Hero, now old, recounts his youth and tells the Perennial Wisdom to his grandchild

the book ends with a cliffhanger and a message to the audience. i'm going to aesthetically aim for a non-christcucked and actually life-affirming Tolstoevsky.

This would be worth doing and I would help if it ever looked likely to get off the ground in a serious way (which is massively unlikely).

As you say, it wouldn't have to be anything very grandiose. Just a name and a logo, and a bit of typesetting help perhaps. Output could be a mixture of anon-authored stuff (if it's decent quality) and our own editions of public domain authors (with non-woke commentaries).

One field that's really wide open is translation. I've translated a lot of poetry (Martial, Catullus, Dante, Li Po, Cavafy among others) simply because the English translations I've read are so terrible. But there are many possibilities.

This is what I was thinking too; we could publish stuff authored by the anons here, we could make re-issued and re-typeset editions of all of /lit/'s meme books, and start a series of "annotated editions" like we did with Moby-Dick. I have some experience with LaTeX (I knew the guy who helped (?) typeset the /lit/ Moby-Dick, before he disappeared), but I really want to get into InDesign because that's what all the professionals use. I'd also be willing to pay for some nice fonts too but I think some of them are included with InDesign.

>One field that's really wide open is translation. I've translated a lot of poetry (Martial, Catullus, Dante, Li Po, Cavafy among others) simply because the English translations I've read are so terrible. But there are many possibilities.
What would be the copyright situation on this? Sounds interesting but, as a small publishing house with no budget, we really wouldn't want to get slammed with some kind of lawsuit

[Anonymouṡ No.20862799]

>>20862732
>re-issued and re-typeset editions of all of /lit/'s meme books
No point doing this unless you can seriously offer something better than what's already out there. (Also you would run into copyright issues for a lot of stuff.) It would be nice to produce a decent anthology, something like "One Hundred Poems To Learn By Heart". (But again, copyright would be an issue I think. It would be too constricting to have to stop with authors who died 70 years ago,)

>like we did with Moby-Dick
The problem with the /lit/ Moby Dick was that it didn't know what it was trying to do. There was some decent legitimate commentary, some decent humour and an awful lot of rubbish.

>copyright situation on this?
All the authors I mentioned are safely in the public domain, aren't they? (Cavafy died in like 1925 or something).

The main point of doing this would be to have all of /lit/'s meme books easily available in print, kind of like how Dalkey Archive's initial goal as a publishing house was to keep the works of authors like Gaddis and O'Brian in circulation.

>The problem with the /lit/ Moby Dick was that it didn't know what it was trying to do. There was some decent legitimate commentary, some decent humour and an awful lot of rubbish.
I agree, Moby-Dick was a mixed bag all around. Thinking about it now, there was an anon in another thread talking about how he wanted to go through and make a "Selected Prose" edition; maybe we could do that for the meme books, going through and picking chapters and extracts and compiling those into a portable edition. Also, I'm fairly certain most if not all of the meme books are licensed under Creative Commons, so there shouldn't be a copyright issue there.

>All the authors I mentioned are safely in the public domain, aren't they? (Cavafy died in like 1925 or something)
I'm not sure; they might be, but we'd have to check before we go ahead and print anything.

Do you have a burner email address I can contact you at? we should keep in touch and discuss this further. I'm interested in going forward with this and would be open to discussing it further, if you're interested

This is not an accident though
In a sense, I wonder how it was from locals POV
I'm sure poverty can push some kids to suck old white dicks, I'm not surprised
But the parents, the adults? I don't think they weren't aware of what he was doing. They accepted just for the cash he brought to the community? Or what? I don't think random pedos can act freely in muslim countries (inb4 that afghan thing of dancing boys)

Muhammad was a pedo, the problem might be with the fact they were boys, but the entire Maghreb/NA is gay as fuck. This was already true in more remote history but 20th century North Africa was the faggot paradise. It spread even to Egypt when luxury accommodation could advertise themselves as "bed and boy". Authorities didn't care, if only because it was better to have arab boys bottom, and they were spread thin on other matters.

Gaiman is literally the whiniest of progressive cunts. Every single thing he’s ever written is dripping in progressive ideologies. In one of his stories the trans character has something bad happen to them instead of the usual constant winning and that’s enough for them to turn on him.

>Germaine Greer
In her book The Beautiful Boy, which contains pictures of "pre-adult boys... with wide-apart legs" and sought to "reclaim (for women) the right to appreciate the short lived beauty of boys." Also blamed male victims of rape as enjoying it, since they get an erection during their sexual abuse "then clearly it's his responsibility."

Dav Pilkey being on there surprised me. Apparently his adventures of ook and gluk book promoted harmful stereotypes, and they stopped publishing it in March of 2021. I purchased that book when it came out in 2010, when I was 6 (I'm 18 now), and I still have it. All I remember is that it was about cave men kids and they had a pterodactyl as a pet. It's written in his comic book style that I really liked. Maybe I'll re-read it.
His books got me really hooked on reading as a young kid. I wish he would have stood by his work instead of caving to the mob. Oh well.
