I do inconsistently. It seems super helpful but I can't really get into it. I might try harder in the future though.

Reminder that, for humans, everything is mind, and theres nothing else than consciousness itself. This can only be realized by direct personal experience and has nothing to do with language.
Once you have realized this, all the speculations about how that consciousness arise, be them artistic scientific religious or whatever, are a model that the mind sends to that same consciousness, and are therefore ruled out from the start.

>The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip.
>The body count climbs through a series of globewars. Emergent Planetary Commercium trashes the Holy Roman Empire, the Napoleonic Continental System, the Second and Third Reich, and the Soviet International, cranking-up world disorder through compressing phases. Deregulation and the state arms-race each other into cyberspace.

not sure if you are being sincere about some concept for a novel but these just read as highly verbose and intellectually shallow descriptions of what is the state of today and where we're heading

Is an authority figure needed to redeem ourselves or is it possible to absolve ourselves from within?

I interpreted this as:
>"Do I need daddy's help to fix my fee-fees or should I actually grow up?"
The answer is simpler than you may think!
>>
>>9345440
The problem lies with your use of the term 'ourselves.'
Statist authority figures are different from the individual mentors. Everyone needs an example or a model to follow. But there is some agency involved, that is to say, you should be aware of *choosing* the model which you follow.
People who say Follow Me are bad enough. It's worse, however, when you do it simply because they said so.

Probably books that have to do with architecture. Just a wild guess, maybe there are some people who know about architecture browsing /lit/ who can give a better answer.

Ballard wrote two books loosely related: High-Rise (deals with brutalism), and Concrete Island (deals with urbanism).

Hegel's dialectic is based on thesis, antithesis and synthesis. Literally just Google it.

Atlas Shrugged
There's an "anti john galt" character that wants all the greatest minds to leave, and wants them concentrated in the valley, in order to kill them all with the sound weapon.
His goal is to be the only genius left and rule over the US, and then the entire planet. He's also anyi government and is seen as a third major player behind Galt and the state.
He thinks he succeeded but is made irrelevant by the coming second reinnessance and released human ingenuity and freedom of the common man. Galt proper knew this would happen and so never bothered trying to stop him.
>>
>>9345231
I will allow it but ONLY if the new ingenuity includes an enterprising rock band that sings about freedom.

This is it lads. I've decided to kill myself. I can no longer live in fear and deal with my hypochondria. It's not worth it. I have a fair bit of work that I would like the world to see. I will be leaving instructions for my girlfriend to come here and give it to you guys. Try and get me published or take my work for your own or just read it. I really don't care. I'd just like someone to see it. Thanks guys.

Why not give us the work now? Do you really think your girlfriend's going to be focused on uploading your manuscript to 4chan right after her boyfriends just killed himself?

If everything in a story is supposed to be advancing either the plot or character development, how does world building ever fit in ... or is the environment considered a character?
