Literary fiction is for people in whom the Imagination (Phantasia) is predominant, who see movies in their head when they read. Women and sub-conceptual men are heavily overrepresented in this demographic. For conceptualizers (mostly white European men), reading literary fiction is a significant investment because all the effort to sustain the pretty picture show had better be worth the payoff in conceptual and symbolic content.

Yeah, I realized that a book needs to have a strong plot or theme or purpose to capture me. Most literary fiction is just a bunch of words to dazzle you, but it's empty underneath.

This is why most great novels are partially philosophical. Every year new kids discover Karamazov

>> No.23156955

Also it's worth looking at guys like Hemingway or Goethe whose every work had some kind of point. There is a restless energy and motion to their writings, and it's no surprise Faust pt. 2 was published posthumously -- for him, it was a never-ending cycle until death. When you look at most Litfic writers though, they're extremely satisfied. Their novels contain no real themes or messages or plots, it's just a quiet stroll through the park.

Novels are dead. What they need is life. We need restless, unhappy writers who inject their hopes and dreams into them. Until then, Litfic remains a hobby for boring people.

The New York subways being patrolled by the military’s show a great vase of the regime showing its hand. It cuts through all the bullshit. “Random" searches by men with rifles in public.

This proceeds accordingly from the Left presupposition that people lack agency, and society itself is responsible for crime due to social reproduction theory.

They can't blame criminals for their own crime, so they treat everyone else as guilty by presumption. This is the philosophy of a police state, everything the leftoids were saying Trump would do, they did.

I got a job at a university back in 2017 and they were offering to pay in full for my PhD. So my plan at the time was to work there, get my PhD on the side, and make the jump over to faculty once I got the degree. But then then the COVID shit happened, every university whatever shred of reasonable sanity it had left, all the progressives I worked with went mask off, and work became suffering. So I lost interest in academia and asked to convert to a remote position. I’ve been working remotely ever since and I still basically don’t know what to do now. Do I leave and find a new career? Do I start the PhD anyway? Do I just enjoy my remote job and use my freedom to write? I have no idea.

I woke up at 0530 to the sound of my alarm after a deep sleep with vivid dreams. I’ve had two dreams now of J--. Abstaining from weed for the past two weeks has made my sleep much more restful. I was drooling, and when I went to the bathroom to clean my mouth-guard I noticed that a deep line from my pillow was engraved down the left side of my face, running across my eye like a dueling scar. I filled my mouth-guard container with hot water and dropped in a dissolvable denture cleaning tablet with the guard. I doubt it does a great job of cleaning it, but I don’t really give a fuck. Brushed teeth, put lotion on dry face and arms. My eyes remain chronically bloodshot. I think I ruined them with over-the-counter red-eye-relief drops. They’ve been red for over a year now. The doctor diagnosed me with ocular rosacea; it’s uncurable. The best I can do is heat up a bean-bag for thirty seconds in the microwave and plop it on my eyes for a few minutes to get some juices flowing; it doesn’t help much. It’s hard to make eye-contact when you can see people looking at your eyes.
I didn’t feel like making coffee so I drank pre-workout. at 0630 there is still a line running down my face from my pillow. Why is this taking so long to go away? Maybe I should start eating food with more collagen.
Black boot, black jeans, grey shirt, black hoodie. Work-phone, ID-card, transparent backpack containing: laptop, laptop power-cord, cellphone power-cord, ethernet-cord, wireless mouse, allen wrenches, fab-approved notebook, black pen, wireless earbuds.
I took the stairwell down the four floors to the parking garage. The Mexican janitor was, as usual, breaking down cardboard boxes at the dumpster. We exchanged greetings. These fucking assholes refuse to breakdown the boxes from their endless deliveries. There are signs on every floor, at every trash-shoot, that ask people to flatten out the cardboard and carry it down to the recycling dumpster, but every morning I see him with bins full of unflatten'd boxes diligently preforming his menial and thankless work.
I live five minutes from the factory. My car doesn’t even have time to warm up by the time I pull into the parking garage. I crossed the bridge, grabbed a coffee, and went to the pass-down room for the morning meeting. A--, who just returned from an assignment in Germany where he was working on some old tool that nobody else on the planet has his expertise on, brought donuts. He brings donuts every ‘Friday,’ I haven’t figured out why exactly yet, psychologically speaking. I didn’t eat any; I had been fasting for the past two days and somehow wasn’t hungry. Maybe abstaining from weed was suppressing my appetite. I had also been trying to see what it felt like to starve. I had been meaning to start writing a story about a factory-worker who starves himself to death, and wanted the raw experience.

A few days ago I spent a night at my cousins' house. One of them is a little girl. 6 years old. I told her to wake me up in the morning so I could eat breakfast with her. I woke up before she did and laid in bed thinking. Eventually I hear a light knock on the door. I pretended to be asleep. In she comes on her tippy toes, trying to be as quiet as possible. Before she could yell in my face to "WAKE UPPPPP" I yelled "BOO" making her jump off the ground a little. She gave me a hug and then sat on a chair facing me. We talked about the pet chickens in her school classroom. I think that was probably one of the greatest moments of my life. Stuff like that is the reason for living. Imagine coming home from 9-5 and your cute daughter runs to the door to give you a hug and say hello. "Daddy, you're home!" Must be the greatest thing in the world. It sucks to be a weird, awkward 20 something year old man. I don't have a single female acquaintance. I will probably never experience that. At least my cousin is too young to realise or care about what a subhuman I am.

Masturbation allows you to indulge in sexual fantasy, which will relieve some of the emotional tension that the sex drive inflicts, but over time one's satisfaction with the simulation of sex dwindles and is replaced by a deep shame over awareness of the self-deception.

But just in general, the gasping wheezing spastic blubbery runny nose act is awful to behold. There's something so entitled and narcissistic about how they know instinctively that it will work, they really think someone will just let them off the hook for burning down an apartment complex if they start sputtering and wheezing and boogering.

Miyamoto Musashi's swordsmanship style is known as Niten Ichi-ryū, which translates to "Two Heavens as One" or "Two Swords as One." This style is characterized by the simultaneous use of two swords: the katana (long sword) and the wakizashi (short sword) or kodachi.
Duel wielding is considered to be a disadvantage to all but the most skillful swordsmen. In his manual Musashi describes his strategy for containing multiple enemies at once (for he was known for slaying multiple foes at once). Swipe both at both sides of the enemy formation, until they form a line. Then cut down each individual foe as you would. Force them to form a line, such that any deviation from the line would receive your strike.

how do normies deal with this? is this what life is for the majority of people? i feel so stressed, it's one thing after another, there is no end to it. the solution seems simple but obviously painful: just stop caring and let some relationships fall to keep others. yes i know it's my fault for accepting invitations but at the time i really did have nothing else better going on. welp it is what it is

I recently took an IQ test and scored higher than I expected at 143, but I don't feel smart. I've always assumed I was maybe 120 at best, so my ego is in crisis and oscillating between arrogance, shame, doubt; apparently I have genius-level intelligence, yet I made C's in high school, dropped out of college, can't hold a job, and live with my parents. I don't enjoy math, I don't speak eloquently, if I'm being honest, I can't write well and don't have anything new to say. So either IQ isn't a reliable metric for intelligence, or lady luck had a miscarriage.

Homeless people do not become homeless overnight, it is a long process and can be stopped and reversed at any time. At least in West there are like a million social programs that aim to help homeless get back on track and few of them do but majority stay homeless until they die of an overdose. I have no respect for homeless.

People who genuinely outsmart the tax system (avoid) are highly intelligent, why should they pay more tax than is legally required? People who evade tax may or may not be of high intelligence. They should still be respected because they put themselves first rather than the shitty system.
System itself is garbage, anyone who pays tax (or at least does not evade/avoid some of it) is basically a retard.

Charisma comes in two basic forms. There's the common or benign kind that, somehow, however it does, makes about 1% of men and women instantly enjoyable to be near. You see one of them from from across a room and, no matter what they look like, no matter the circumstance, it's love at first sight, Sublime silliness, and profound mutual trust, becomes possible. Then there's the rare evil form typical of cult leaders, oriental despots, demagogues, serial murderers, grand scale financial scammers, and such. In every case they're personally revolting, spooky to be near, no matter what else.

Both are ultimately more costly because you're not just backfilling those services from your own pocket, you're also increasing wealth disparity which requires further spending. And most people who are doing it are not rich enough to afford the consequences of either. If you are rich enough to pay against the consequences, you don't even need avoidance, because you just pay to change the tax laws. The people who do what you're outlining are precisely the people who can't afford to not pay taxes.

in a brief lapse of judgement, i decided to watch some webms that i knew i shouldn't watch. in ruminating on the horrors i witnessed, i was reminded of this clip i saw a while back where slavoj zizek said something to the effect of "to truly love someone is to accept and embrace that person without idealizing them; it is refusing to prefer the perfect caricature because, for you the real person is perfect even in their faults."
then he said "those who claim to love life should take the same approach -- love the world's beautiful landscapes, but also love the landfills."
at the time it struck me as a very admirable approach to life. unfortunately, i have since become convinced that it is impossible. some parts of life are simply too much to accept. it seems the approach is an idealization of love itself, which is rather ironic.

Skip the critical bits in pic related and just read the poems to find poets you like, then buy collections of those poets. If you are looking to get into poetry writing I suggest reading Fryes "the ode less traveled" and dantes "vita nueva," the first for an easy entry into terminology and simple analyses, and the second for expounding on poetic writing method by one of the greats first hand. Plus I think both books add up to be about 400 pages in total so it is a pretty succinct starting point.
