The cartoon. Kinda comical but it's the best portrayal of Son Wukong in media

>talking
>derrida

why am I not surprised

>>9997936
lol

>>9997916
Probably the easiest way into Derrida is "La Voix et le Phenomene", in which he offers somewhat radical analyses of Bob Dylan's earlier lyrics. Stuff like "The (de)Construction of Highway 61" gets a little heavy.

>>9997903
Too many adjectives.
Too many 'I's.
Confusion of past tenses: is it perfect or not?

You're American, aren't you? Apart from the double-quotes, Americans always use verbose language like this.

>>9997958
but is it good or bad?

>>9997981
4/10.

I only respect theists and nihilists

nihilists don't believe in anything, just like atheists

>>9997963
Clearly they believe in something, because I've seen them doing things. An action requires interpretation and an interpretation requires belief. Without fully believing in anything you wo'nt be able to do anything.

Literally anything by John Green.

Learn to draw dicks. Draw dicks in it.

Play dead immediately.

>>9997609
Of course not. I just read Wikipedia summaries of books and then talk about how bad they are

>>9997609
Yes, at least partially. Otherwise, what would you be talking about?

A retelling of a book conveys far too little of the original effect, so no.

Also, that's a stupid picture, trying to turn games into some pretentious interactive storytelling instead of letting them be games.

>>9997511
Thanks, but do you have something that's around 300 pages long max.

>>9997559
Nineteen Eighty-Four
Siddhartha
Most Cormac McCarthy Novels

Also don't limit yourself to 300-page books. As long as the book captivates you, youll keep reading it

Auden.

We would rather be ruined than changed
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die

Homer, The Iliad. I can't read Greek.

All of them would get crushed ala hillsborough

>>9997349
Nihilistis would be the first ones to die

>>9997359

Have any noteworthy even been made yet?

The Liberalization of Islam has only just begun.

>>9997322
Is that what he's actually saying? Seems too absurd to be made up.

>>9997346
i dont know, thats why iam asking

>>9997297
>Absolute Truth
Nice meme, kid

>>9997297
That's called critical reading not epistemology

Let me try:

OP is a faggot.

>translations

heh...

>>9997233
I read 100 pages of this book every five months or so. Too repetitive otherwise. Incredibly funny though

>>9997234
It's even worse. I'm reading an English translation but English is not my native tongue.
