inb4 old books that are regarded as great deserve it

Out of the literal millions of books written in history, not every book warrants a 400th year reprinting, and if I can be bold enough to say it none of the books published in the last ~60 years would deserve one either

>its another "contemporary literature is dead" thread by someone who doesnt read contemporary literature

I plan on being known as a writer who fucked off and did his own thing, which in its own way was brilliant but which wasn't really connected to the trends of the era, at least beyond the simple osmosis that comes from being immersed in said era.

lol if you think the end of the cold war was somehow significant compared to all the events from 1991-2050, you got another thing coming, buddy.

What the fuck is your problem?

This board has a glaring flaw in that it can not distinguish between wisdom and intelligent. What you say you are seeing in Russian literature is wisdom. But something such as The Divine Comedy is intelligent. The Russian literature is wise because it is basal; it's a real human experience beset with insights and guidance. You don't need a reference because you are the reference. Whereas Alighieri wrote intelligently because his text was based off another text considered to the One reference. So it doesn't focus on you, but the ideas and implications of life outside of your control. It's theoretical, riddled with allusions to other theoretical allusions all relying on the fact that you know them. And that is an intelligence. So yes while being keen to one over the other may imply you aren't intelligent, it's only within the realm of intelligence itself, if that makes sense. Because you are keen still on the Russian literature, and that means you are not unintelligent. Your 'intelligence' in one of an inherent nature. Which is to brings us back around to you being wise over intelligent. Again, not a negative thing. Can't stress that enough; today's day and age has destroyed the concept of intelligence.

>Alex Jones
>con artist
Alex Jones is one of the greatest philosophers of our time, and will be remembered long after we are dead.
>A humble water filter salesman born in Florence, Italy, he devoted his life to uncovering the mysterious forces that drive society. Although mostly eschewed by the people of his time, his works have since been recognized for the masterpieces they are, and are now taught in college classrooms across the country.

I recall reading an article that said that compulsive liars will eventually believe their own lies.
The guess was that to avoid stress, detection and extra work, the brain starts handling the situation more efficiently.

Zizek talks about this, he calls it "Fetishist Disavowal". He characterizes it as "I know very well, but...", a tendency to compartmentalize part of your knowledge and behave as if it wasn't so.

It's also related to "Belief through another", that is that no one believes sincerely, but believes because they know someone else who believes the same thing. This is key to 'gas lighting', if you can isolate someone and convince them that they're the wrong, they'll start taking on false beliefs.

>>9453150
if memory serves me right he declared himself agnostic, so he ain't atheistic

>>9453157
>Berlinski says he is skeptical of evolution for a number of reasons, including the appearance "at once" of an astonishing number of novel biological structures in the Cambrian explosion, the lack of major transitional fossils transitional sequences, the lack of recent significant evolution in sharks, the evolution of the eye, and the failure of evolutionary biology to explain various phenomena ranging from the sexual cannibalism of redback spiders to why women are not born with a tail.[11] The article was described by historian of science Ronald L. Numbers as "a version of ID theory."

No, because my general quality of life and access to information is several orders of magnitude higher than anyone pre-20th century
