you must be a pleb

Peiple "like" Diogenes the same way that people "like" Stirner or Nietzsche.

I like the anecdotes around him. I also like degenerates, bums, punks. tramps, druggies, losers, slackers, shut ins etc. they're my people.

He's like Socrates, we only know what people wrote about him, though much more was written about Socrates.
Doesn't make him any less based.

Daily reminder to never take 'all ___ is/are just ___' thoughts seriously.

>>9329241
but why?. simple premises can be powerful.

ill take this like a no.

>>9329150
I flip through, read what's interesting, mark my favourites on the contents page. do you mean how many times in one sitting?

>>9329167
Yeah, how much time/pages do you typically read in one sitting? I've honestly never actively read poetry before but I have some collections of Rilke and Pound I want to read.

>>9329173
oh cool. you should just read whichever way works for you. I find people tend to read and understand poetry in idiosyncratic ways.

I hate big collections and prefer smaller ones. it's hard to say because I read throughout the day. usually I'll read a bunch in a row during breakfast. then I'll re-read whichever ones I'm thinking about on my commute. etc.

so read a bunch > re-read the interesting ones > read another bunch. rinse, repeat.

always keep a pen or pencil on you. as you read deeper you'll want to mark up the poem as you go.

>At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if I gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.

what did james joyce mean by this?

with 1984 it makes sense in context, as sexual relations are prohibited and Winston, trying to be a rebel, is magnetically attracted to such things.

Idk what the fuck Joyce was trying to say there tho

>>9329242
I have a degree in literary analysis and I think he was trying to say

Rude.

As with every board. You have to wade through mountains of shit to find the real gems. It's worthwhile though because the few great illuminating discussions that do crop up from time to time far exceed that of other sites.

>>9329134
That's what I'm still here.

What is teh alternative

>not minimizing character count at every possible moment

This might be a good place to ask. What does t. mean? I see it on here. A t with a period. What does it stand for? Thanks.

who taught this camel how to write?

Start with the Greeks and read the fucking sticky.

Start with the Greeks and/or read exclusively Russian authors.

Don't listen to these memers. Read what sounds interesting to you. Is there any specific genre, author, region, time period, etc. that you are particularly interested in?

looks like a circlejerk for STEMautists, economists and posthumanists

>>9328823
Buzzfeed but more postmodern circlejerk

>>9328834

STEMautists would not want to be seen anywhere near anyone who would even consider having a peek at the contents of THAT garbage. Please.

>>9328773
I'm not sure how suitable a match it is, and it's prose poetry, but my first thought was Gaspard de la nuit.

>>9328789
This is a piano piece by maurice ravel. Are you sure you're not getting mixed up?

The poetry of Borges and Pessoa?
