I thank him for guiding me.

Mistakes of the subhumans. They immediately interpret the idea of subjectivity as giving them free reign to support any viewpoint that they want, no matter how incoherent, ignorant and wretched. Sure, the ant too has its own perspective of things, and therefore its own subjective reality, but who gives a shit about the reality of an ant? The greater the man the greater — and hence the more objective — his perspective, and therefore the idea of subjectivity does not undermine the absolute rule of inequality in the universe but is precisely the mechanism by which it comes about.

"Everything is subjective" means that everything can be perceived from a variety of perspectives — indeed an infinity of them — it doesn't mean that all perspectives are equal. From the plurality of subjects it by no means follows that all subjects are equal! But that is precisely what the subhumans contend. With a terrifying consistency they take the idea from the philosophers and utterly pervert it, until it comes to mean the exact opposite to what it meant at first. For if all viewpoints were indeed equal they would have to be identical! i.e. there would not be an infinity of viewpoints but only a single one! i.e. there would not be subjectivity!

Se camminando vado solitario
per campagne deserte e abbandonate
se parlo con gli amici, di risate
ebbri, e di vita,

se studio, o sogno, se lavoro o rido
o se uno slancio d'arte mi trasporta
se miro la natura ora risorta
a vita nuova,

Te sola, del mio cor dominatrice
te sola penso, a te freme ogni fibra
a te il pensiero unicamente vibra
a te adorata.

A te mi spinge con crescente furia
una forza che pria non m'era nota,
senza di te la vita mi par vuota
triste ed oscura.

Ogni energia latente in me si sveglia
all'appello possente dell'amore,
vorrei che tu vedessi entro al mio cuore
la fiamma ardente.

Vorrei levarmi verso l'infinito
etere e a lui gridar la mia passione,
vorrei comunicar la ribellione
all'universo.

Vorrei che la natura palpitasse
del palpito che l'animo mi scuote...
vorrei che nelle tue pupille immote
splendesse amore. -

Ma dimmi, perché sfuggi tu il mio sguardo
fanciulla? O tu non lo comprendi ancora
il fuoco che possente mi divora?...
e tu l'accendi...

Non trovo pace che se a te vicino:
io ti vorrei seguir per ogni dove
e bever l'aria che da te si muove
né mai lasciarti. -

Read this if you want major fedora tipping.

How can you introduce someone to semiotics? Don't you need to understand what the signs are to be able to read? But then you already know everything. Anyway, start with the Greeks.

You might look to Umberto Eco for something on semiotics.

Read a fucking book.

So? I can predict the next entire 1000 years. "There will be 1000 more years" there you go.

doesn't matter. more important, how would they evac a whole planet? how would there be a bomb in a core? if it does not explode or melt on the way down, how will it explode?

De0ends on the country

I'm not looking for recs, just interested in what other people have found compelling.

I believe that books on writing are useless shit, feel free to prove me wrong by posting something you wrote here.

These are books I've read for school, two grad and two upper level fiction courses. I'd highly recommend Eagleton and the bottom, they're wonderful introductions to theory. The middle is a good warm up for those. And if you haven't read Elements of style you're missing out.
