I've basically only dated girls that don't read.

That's so awful, arrogant and pretentious. People who talk like this usually have an excessively favorable opinion of themselves, and read more escapist trash they like to display than proper literature. I've never dated a person who doesn't read but it's incidental, I would gladly meet and go out wouldn't it be the case.

Would you date a girl that couldn't read?

it was successful because it's a well-written feminist novel and was therefore deemed culturally important

She's been extremely successful since the 80's anon, I don't think a new adaptation has anything to do with it.

start with a daily journal to get you in the habit

Thanks for the reply.

buy a pen and a note book.
Make the pen really nice, so it's a pleasure to use for even writing a shopping list.

Then write.

I'll give you another sample:

It's "of it's time". There must be better experimental fiction out there.

ok

>african intellectuals

Pseud: You
Int: God

An intellectual is someone primarily interested in pursuit of knowledge.

A pseud is someone merely interested in giving off the impression of being in pursuit of knowledge.

A retard is an annoying teenager who doesn't understand the meaning behind those terms, yet feels he's in a position to apply them as judgement to greatest literary minds in history.

Examples:
intellectuals - most people in scientific research,
pseuds - that guy that gets pussy by namedropping french philosophers,
retards - you.

Build yourself a theology around them and interpret them in a way that makes them fit

Probably easier with Nietzsche than with Stirner t b h man

>>9372124

Nietzsche doesn't really speak against God, but people's degenerate interpretation of God.

Anyone liked pre-Trump Taleb more? Maybe it is my own political bias but Taleb always struck me as the middle ground
In antifragile he said he had issues with both the left and right, but ever since Trump came along he doesn't seem as critical anymore

He is still often right though, even about Trump

>>9372203

Trump has drawn out the vacuous posturing so hard. He is the world's most powerful magnet for this shit.

It is laughable that we had months and months of "Trump will lose" opinion and immediately after he wins we get mountains more """analysis""" such as "Here's why Trump won" or whatever.

I was listening to BBC radio just now and after this Trump standing up to Putin on Syria stuff they just barely acknowledged the previous 6 months of conspiracy theories they perpetuated before insulting Trump some more for not acting in a generic presidential matter.

I shouldn't have stopped spamming the phrase academia-media-publishing industrial complex.

trump's a chump

He's at his best in the Critic as Artist and The Decay of Lying. Two small essays well worth reading more than once.

He's on Morrisey's side

>>9371969
Your thoughts on his following works?
The Ballad of Reading Gaol
The Nightingale and the Rose
De Profundis

Superfluous man is boring and disgusting. Underground Man did it better.

But personally, I prefer the madman-is-sanest-guy thing.

>he hasn't figured out that identity politics isn't about equality or justice, it's about dispossessing the groups that have traditionally been in charge in the west

The feminists lied to you, anon. Now you must kill them. All of them.

They're New York women as well so it's a certain kind of woman.
