I don't get what's the intent. It just underlines that women are producing less literature despite largely preferring humanities.

Im looking for the book that depicted pic related. Its called "Was earth visited by aliens?"
It apparently comes from the 60s and seemingly dissappeared completely and cant be bought anywhere.
Allegedly the photograph was seen in the American Museum of Natural History
So I'm in search of any information about the book, the other content, author etc.
Maybe some of you have it in thei shelf or seen it. Im happy about every piece of information

Maybe it just failed to sell past it's niche audience of shizos and subsequently disappeared in a time where information was disorganized and uncatalogued before being picked up again in the eccentric annals of internet theorists desperate to blame anything unpopular on a universal conspiracy and not a lack of basic evidence.
Or maybe the Jews hid it.

"Such inactivity, however, is by no means emancipated from
productive activity: it remains in thrall to that activity, in an uneasy and worshipful subjection to
production's needs and results; indeed it is itself a product of the rationality of production. There
can be no freedom apart from activity, and within the spectacle all activity is banned a corollary
of the fact that all real activity has been forcibly channeled into the global construction of the
spectacle. So what is referred to as "liberation from work," that is, increased leisure time, is a
liberationneitherwithinlaboritselfnorfrom theworldlaborhasbroughtintobeing."
Where the fuck is the justification for this? Is this the typical Marxist claim that reaping the benefits of the system solidifies it's grasp over us?

Would it be possible to generate a mood, using the descriptive writing in the novel, that is so atmospheric and individual that it can rival the mood generated by music?
How much of an experience someone has had looking at a view can be transferred into a novel?

Nope. Literature works on the cognitive level, which is a more sophisticated but less immediate cerebral function than emotion.
Not denying that literature can induce rapture, but music will get you there quicker. It's direct emotional stimulation.
Also, if you like Harmonia, check out Cluster.

Even if you attempt to generate your mood, people will not always feel the same way.
>using the descriptive writing in the novel, that is so atmospheric and individual that it can rival the mood generated by music?
Certainly. It's just that compared to Music, it is a direct connection to a sensory node (your ears). Writing requires more processing to fully enjoy as easily as a movie or music. You have to cook your own food whereas something that appeals simply to once auditory senses is equivalent to driving-thru and ordering what you want.

Why do newer philosophers always get off scot-free when they butcher older philosopher's arguments.
They know taken as a whole their predecessor's work most of the time just by itself contradicts their vapid counterarguments.
But they just act as if it's not there or assume a priori their take is simply "better" and "that's that".
Why is this allowed?
You finally feel confident that you understand one guy but then the next one just goes around putting words in their mouths, quote mining or making a superficial or misrepresentational criticism which can easily be countered simply by pointing to relevant counterarguments in the work itself.
Guess I'm too high IQ for philosophy or something.
Feels bad man.
