what is the black pill?

>>9493528
I like Philip Larkin, but I can't remember any of his poems, I just remember that I like him and I like the ones I have read.

Anyone else ever experience this?

>black pill?
I assume he means suicide

Germany takes all the good ones.

stupid thread

>>9493168
Due to a combination of factors:
-a sense of cultural superiority
-group think / overwhelming emphasis on francophone literature and philosophy
-dominance of postmodernist thought, combined with interdisciplinary influence from psychology (especially Freud, Lacan, Jung)
-strong position of leftist thought and political movements
-rigid and isolated academic system

Dissociation?

get help op

>>9492980
No, dissociation is different, although I do get that from time to time, meaning it's mild as fuck so it doesn't matter.

What I'm talking about is something different.

>>9492947
don't worry op. i understand what you're talking about.can't think of a great word for it though.

it feels like a veil's been lifted or something

Other rockets you stupid fuck

In the time you're going to spend analyzing individual sentences of a pointless fucking meme book, you could read shit that will change your mind and soul forever.

You could read Balzac or Dostoevsky or Shaw and start a dialogue with yourself that you will carry with you for life. Or you could read this and ask "on page 197 what did he mean by 'ZYZM BLORP!' Was it a postmodernism?? do I need to read Ulysses to understand this?"

>>9492325
So back then you compared the sound of rockets to the sound of other rockets?

first for books about

When I write muh shitty scifi fanfictions I usually use systematic reviews off ncbi (linked to library) and google scholar (linked to library).

First do some research around wikipedia and look at the citations/terms and use that to farm research articles. Scihub if I need to fill in the holes.

I also download student/advanced textbooks and have a flip through them.

Anyway, the abstract/introduction will usually spoonfeed you most of what you need to know even if it looks difficult and you can skip the methods/results and read the discussion/conclusion if you get lost.

In the spirit of the OP image for the last thread:

How about some /sffg/ about love between two vastly different creatures?

I asked something along those lines two generals ago but that thread got deleted

>>9489222
I genuinely don't get how serious is Alan Moore trying to be.
I mean, he's clearly not a dummy, and from his interviews he seems pretty insightful and down to heart, and then he proceeds to release these books. Does he want them to be taken seriously? Are these just a game for him? Is he writing these because there are some people who will buy them? Is he a actual schizo?

I guess we won't ever know.

>>9489231
what the fuck? why does any other novelist release books? he enjoys writing and feels like he has something to say, which is likely the same motivation behind his comic book work.

>>9489231

Man has been in a magical war with Grant Morrison for 10 or 20 years, he is off his rocker.

the older i get the less i agree with his shitty speech

I will never not laugh at the greatly deserved ridicule of this hack fraud. DFW will be remembered by posterity as the most incompetent snake oil salesman western literature has ever produced.

The only sincere act of his life was when he kicked away the chair. His life was nothing but a series of ironies and lies predicated on the the joke that is new sincerity. The big punchline was the creaking of the rafter and the piss trickling down his leg to the floor.

his epiphany that the only viable thing for him to do was to kill himself was the best thing to happen to literature in 30 years since he began writing because behind all the self aware gimmicks and self help books and the drugs and the audience pussy there was no discernible talent

why bother reading someone who couldn't even live with himself. the only sincere moment in the life of David Foster wallace was when he kicked away the chair. the rest of his life was a lie, the new sincerity was a joke whose punchline was the creaking of a leather belt around the rafter.his literary career was a menagerie of self help lies told to keep his depression at bay. the audience pussy and drugs were the ghosts at that feast of hypocrisy. the depression was warranted because behind all the gimmicks and the self awareness and the bandannas was no discernible talent

What is the best book for learning Latin? I am currently using a book titled "Getting Started With Latin" by William Linney, but it kind of sucks and is short.

He's shit talking pseudo-mystics bores such as Kant, Hegel, Luther and Wagner.

>>9499375
Two sentences prior:
>But such replies belong to the realm of comedy, and it is high time to replace the Kantian question, "How are synthetic judgments a PRIORI possible?" by another question, "Why is belief in such judgments necessary?"—in effect, it is high time that we should understand that such judgments must be believed to be true, for the sake of the preservation of creatures like ourselves; though they still might naturally be false judgments!
>Kantian question
>Kant
Damn, you must really know your shit. To understand that completely out of context. Dr. Peterson, is that you?

>Maybe they should have made Nietzsche
I can't even tell if this is bait, but Nietzsche wrote in German
