nothing of his remains relevant. well, maybe if you count calculus, but i don't think that's what you meant.

animalsplural of an·i·mal (Noun)
Noun:
2. Any such living organism other than a human being.

sports are for animals

good:

- recommended me a lot of books (and oddly enough art), most good, some great.
- gave me a honest and useful critique of my writing
- stripped me of any shame/pretension i might have about anything i read, listen or watch

bad:

- made me aware of the existence richard feynmann (the tripfag)
- it's not /lit/'s fault per se but i've spent a lot of time getting trolled or arguing with true imbeciles here
- it's made me unfit to hang around non-anonymous writing/literature sites

i'm not sad, i'm just bored.

ficciones and labyrinths are his major works

read borges' The Lottery in Babylon for an example on how to do this

average, mediocre at times, with an interesting gimmick/crutch.

b- would not read again, would recommend to a friend.

there's no reason to assume they shouldn't.

>valuing anything other than truth

sure is romantic faggot in here

saying that beauty is omnipresent is saying that there is no such thing as beauty. adjectives without exclusionary clauses mean literally nothing..

can you explain a bycycle's lateral dynamics to me

>>2374376
oh well.

i hate hotness. i flee countries whenever it turns summer. i got your core idea, but my point was that whenever you reach some kind of balance or happiness or even just contentment you'll be forced to deal with people and they'll ruin everything.

do people living on rich people coasts classify as "local fishermen"? if so then my bad.

>>2374354
i don't know what you would call a "jamboree" but they had retarded pseudo-parties on the beach, where they parked their cars on the sand and left the doors open and let the radio on at max volume and then proceeded to get drunk, pass out, occasionally fight and then go home to use their wives and children as punching bags.

>>2374332
more than coastal fishermen, that's for sure.

>>2374307
i read the post, i don't care about free will. why bring up quantum indeterminacy if you already know it's a moot point?

>>2374304
in the sense that a probabilistic universe is still deterministic.

i've lived in a pictoresque coastal town

it's a bunch of shit. everything smells of dead fish and salt, everyone is a xenophobic asshole, the bartenders will most certainly not take poems or minor proofs as payment, all your metal shit will rust, your shitty house will need maintenance and every handiman in the locality is a horrible, unprofessional piece of shit who will either swindle you on purpose or due to their incompetence. it's always hot as shit and there's only two seasons: wet and dry, and they're both hot, each in their own annoying way.

enjoy your dream, but never actually realize it. you will be disappointed.

>>2374277
the quantum card doesn't really matter here, a probabilistic universe is still deterministic

>guys im scared thinking frightens me

look kids, this is what an intellectual coward looks like.

also, OP, the world riddle isn't solved and science is still in its infancy. we haven't even solved physics yet, not to mention all of the other emergent processes that people are studying even with incomplete physics. we don't even understand the lateral dynamics of bicycles ffs.

i hate it when idiots talk about science. you don't know shit, and neither does the human race.

foreign enough to induce interest, but not so much as to alienate the reader? i don't know, to me it seems somehow more honest than its contemporary counterparts? strictly speaking of the 19th century here though.

>>2372964
why... i just assumed... it's name being nancy and all

cortazar's short stories? they're god tier.
