We're simply superior to women. Pepe the frog agrees

My method is putting that garbage down and picking up the Greeks.

i agree

it is justified hyperbole

Dune is very mediocre.

Some nice desert imagery in spots but that's about all you are going to get out of that one

ITT: Harkonnens.

Dune is like Star Trek, it really clicks for some people and really doesn't for others.

STEMspeak is so cringy

Anything by Wilhelm Busch if you can find a decent translation.

Give him On the suffering of the world by Schop and let him know early why his mere existence is a joke.

of

He couldn't heel

For a hero he surely seemed to have a woman attitude towards disputes. Didn't help until his best friend died.

His boytoy got ICED

I feel roughly the same way you do. A lot of people call it paranoid or cynical, but there is this sense of the wholesome in it that I like.

>>9433918
Wholesome is a good way to describe it. Especially the family life. Everything is so broken due to repeated divorce and remarriage but they all seem to be able to make the best out of it

I hate how much postmodern authors get thrown the "too cold and cynical" criticism

Even Pynchon has some warmth in TCoL49, it's not like robots write these books

>work for 1000 hours carefully sculpting statue from shit
>sells for less than a clay statue that only 20 hours of work went into
wtf I'm a communist now!

Demand is the basis of value, my guy. If people want something, it's valuable to them. If they don't want it, it's not.

>>9433441
If everyone took 1000 hours to make statues they would be fucking expensive. The guy who figures out how to do it in 20 might make off like a bandit at first, charging the same or only slightly lower than market price, but his method will get out and statues will all be made in about 20. Manufactures of statues will all compete with eachother until they're taking as low a price as they can accept. Less labor in the statue, less value.

>>9433495
BTW, that price they eventually accept after competing with eachother is Adam Smith's "natural price". Prices can be driven above their natural price by shortages and monopolies. A lean harvest won't make the wheat need more labor to bring to market, but since there's not enough to meet demand buyers will compete with eachother for the limited supply and drive up the "nominal price" (or maybe that should be the "money price"). The existence of the natural price in the face of the nominal price seems a bit ephemeral to me, and maybe that indicates some deeper problem with this whole idea, but the scenario I laid out in my first post there seems airtight to me.
