Who's the gaylord now?

And still my dick is in your mouth

Ray Bradbury was an irrelevant pap scribbler who had no original ideas, please don't attribute any sort of special predictive ability to him

>200 years of literature studied and pored over by experts in their field, a literal canon that tells you what the most important works are in western culture

>choosing to read a literal who with no credibility beyond the last 20 years of good reviews by paid newspaper shills and the publishing industry

>artificially padding your novel with completely trivial pieces of information that don't serve to advance the plot or complexify the characters, which are themselves only a means of plot advancement

Damn OP, learn to write lol

Vicariously suck my dick, you literal-brained peons.

>You have everything necessary to become a writer without going to school.

Why do people still insist on pedalling this near-complete falsity?

Yes, "just write", after you finish eight hours of work in an environment that saps your creativity and energy, among people who diminish your capacity to think originally by endless regurgitating trivial pop culture and whose knowledge events extends only as far as the latest Joe Rogan podcast.

And using examples of people who lived in the fifties as opposed to a period with a market that is vastly over-saturated with creatives, simply laughable.

Yeah, "just write" OP, you don't need any formal training anymore than a conventional artist does, you can just acquire skills on your own, through your own volition. You don't need an environment or peers conducive to your development, or mentors, or any of that shit.

>performed or suffered by one person as a substitute for another or to the benefit or advantage of another

Eat shit and suck on this fat dick you pea-brained faggot

There' s no realistic alternative. Gen X'ers could reject their shitty work conditions and become slackers. Life is too expensive for that now.

You can be a millenial and be thankful that your employers at least care enough to lie to your face about your welfare by providing you with bean-bags and a 4k espresso machine, and be a good wageslave, or you can be a zoomer, take that shit for granted and realize there's no meaning in your work, that if you are not a "creative" or well-put-together-human being you are effectively just serving as an economic function in society.

I guess I feel sorry for zoomers in some ways, because they are probably the people most entitled to be blackpilled about life and society now. They're raised with enough of a sense of self to realize that work is meaningless, but most of them are not cut out for meaningful content creation. It's an unresolvable situation.

>I cannot do it. I cannot wage slave. It has only been a few months of working (software engineer) and I cannot do it anymore.

Grow up zoomer, everyone works. If you were cut out for writing you'd be blogging since you were a teenager and already have 200+ patreon subscribers.

You're unhappy with your work, join the fucking club. Everyone else does the same shit and isn't so self-deluded to complain about it. Zoomers are hardcore retarded when it comes to a sense of self-significance and purpose. Get this, we all live vicariously on the weekends and holidays.

Most of these are principles that stand by themselves for healthy relationships and have nothing specific to say about monogamy/cuckoldry.

>jealousy
Yeah sure, you shouldn't be jealous in general, but whether you are sleeping with one person or 20 jealousy is not a healthy or productive emotion to foster

>sufficiently intense love
On point again but applies to any sort of long-term relationship

>meet your partner's every need
Again, not really indicative of any specific type of relationship

>commitment synonymous with exclusivity
Not necessarily, but as a general rule positively correlated.

>marriage and children only teleological justifications
Agree. People can get married for a variety of perfectly practical reasons to do with taxes and visas, and the commitment to marriage for a child's sake is no guarantee of that child's healthy upbringing, although it is still probably better off than a non-nuclear or broken upbringing as a general rule.

>insecurities are your partner's responsibility
Applies to monogamous and non-monogamous, you shouldn't be foisting that shit on anyone else no matter what

>your value is to a partner is directly proportional to the amount of time they spend on you
Missing the point, it's not about value, it's about the investment of time and energy, monogamous or non-monogamous. If you are a person of any considerable personality or involved in anything that requires time and effort, you simply don't have the same amount of energy to expend on a variety other people, unless you are either shallow and give nothing of yourself to other people, or give little of yourself to them, which makes for non-meaningful relationships as a rule.

>being of value to a partner
Applies across the board as a non-issue again. If you care about your value to other people in general that's a no-no.

A puffed up joke, as are most of the projects in digital humanities. A money-making scheme for universities. It doesn't change the project of the humanities in any significant way besides in the areas of optimization.

Dislike him. Writer of cowpokey chronicles. To consider them masterpieces is an absurd delusion. A nonentity, means absolutely nothing to me.

>it appears to have been bred out of them

Did your knee jerk all the way to your up to your thick skull or something?

>>13759664
This guy gets it.

Americans don't have any souls. Their values are either self-contradictory or illusory. They don't have a history of valuemaking so the furthest they can reach is laughably non-substantial nature worship, tedious social realism without any real commentary, 40 year old men running out on their families as a means of addressing individualism, and then postmodernist destruction of the literary tradition.

It's a vapid culture.

Nope. The chinks are just rehashing phenomenology and marxism.

>Indian Whitehead out there, right?
Indians aren't capable of philosophical thought, it appears to have been bred out of them. You cannot get the concept or concerns of philosophy through to an Indian, he'll just look at you with a sort of mixed incredulity and contempt at the idea of pursuing anything other than a life of thankless labour in the service of your family.

Gonna be hard to do that if they're all sequestered up your mom's pussy

Take your (you) and shove it up your fucking ass

>The Road
>Science Fiction

Name a single thing in that book that can be adequately described as "science fiction". Post-apocalyptic literature is not necessarily "science fiction". There's not even anything in this book that suggests the tropes of any sci fi novel. The cause for the catastrophe is deliberately left unstated because that's not at all the point.

And it's not even a post-apocalpytic novel, because the POST part implies that the story takes place AFTER an apocalyptic event.

The whole point of The Road, and why it isn't a post-apocalyptic novel, is that there is no POST-anything. The world is dying, there's not going to be anyone living on the planet in a few decades.

You people are so fucking stupid, I swear to god

Just say dune thread, fag. No spoilers, no retarded wind up, just say something interesting as a lead in.This isn't video game general, people have attention spans on this board.

>>13747969

Yeah cool, sounds fucking awful, might as well just read Mishima and Casanova's book

The trick is to have the mindset of most artists and successful creatives: be up your own ass enough to think what you're writing is worth something and not completely futile in the face of a world of better and worse content producers, but not so far up your own ass that you can't see the flaws in your work.

Probably the narcissistic creative doesn't even see flaws, he just sees things he wants to improve.

>I guarantee that if you visit a STEM department at any top university you'll find a substantially greater number of science fiction readers than literary fiction readers.

Indians don't read and for them sci-fi is having a working toilet, so again I find myself having to re-iterate the point that the mere fact that a novel has a "science" thing in it is not adequate grounds to call something sci-fi.

And this gay little "midwit" label thing you have going in the other threads is pathetic and uninspired by the way, only a shitwit would post something so dumb.
