Existential Crisis

He literally starts with two high school tier books. I don't need to read the rest of his list to know he's an utter pleb.

>>9150607
He started with the best books, he's an utter patrician

>>9151416
Moby Dick is high school tier as well. Wanna tell me that it's pleb as well?

Hi George. How's your mother doing lately?

It was good. I had fun with it, but I doubt I'll ever go back to it again. There are a few things I didn't like.
Did anyone like how it ended with that black guy riding with Lincoln? I didn't.
I also didn't like after Willie proofed into firelightwhatever there was a chapter of him flying around and shit.

>>9149646
I just free write. That, or use a mind map.

>>9149646
I can always think of things to write but when it comes to endings call me Mr King.

I also use the writing prompts on reddit to stir up my creative juices.

sniff, snaff IDEOLOGY

>>9149228
Yeah I'm interested in this question too.

Is Zizek actually any good? Worth reading at all?

>>9149241
I'm having fun with the preface desu

If you liked Hero then you might like The Golden Bough. I found The Morphology of the Folk/Fairy tale by Propp interesting too.
Bear in mind it's really an academic pursuit, these things won't really help you construct better stories yourself.

This is more of a basic intro to theory but it still discusses a lot about storytelling

Dont read women. Their inferior

>>9155082
Do these issues implie that the novel is disappointing ? I haven't read it already but I heard it was a little boring.

>>9155082
You're attributing rather heavy concepts to a rather straight-forward book.

Is our continuous not part of us and is it not often shaped by outside factors?

Based Google, they always fall for it, Stirner would have been so pleased.

1. Yes. He is indeed talking about Max Stirner.
2. The ego did what he wanted.
3. Among anarchists.

>>9155029
There is one world and one Max Stirner. This is all Stirner concerns himself with.

>Stirner: why hold ego to a scale of values? Whereas Nietzsche: we find abominable any decadent spirit who says: 'Everything only to me!'

He is no better than everyone he denounces before him, considering that his intellectual endeavour amounts to nothing more than a seduction. In its own little way it is a sort of immature, petulant and infantile seduction as well, one that does not have the sincere conviction behind it of past ideologies but on the other hand it has the gall to disrupt the game of rhetoric (and I mean rhetoric in the general, system-level sense that I think De Man uses) that ideologues gleefully take part in, sort of like a child who disregards the rules of a game because he is tired of losing at it or some such poor behaviour.

Stirner knows his own doctrine does not have a leg to stand on, that the whole exercise he engages in is contradictory. His whole project is a failure simply because it's a contradiction. The only way you could consider it a success is if you think the overall outcome is that you have the ability to question or attack ideology. But that is hardly a quality specific to Stirner's writings, it's simply the ability to think critically, and it's what most philosophers with a system of thought have done throughout history. Except Stirner appears to be inferior to most of them because where every other philosopher attacks the previous prevailing ideology and replaces its center in its own coherent if not infallible manner, Stirner simply attacks these ideologies with no center to prevail in replacement, the attack itself is contradictory, and there is no real insight gained into the lack of the center because Stirner himself has no answer or interest in attempting to solve this contradiction of negation. So where every other philosopher has been out with the old and in with the new, Stirner is simply out with the old, and not even in a logical manner, with no new. You're getting short-changed and fucked in the ass. And on the other hand there are numerous more in-depth attempts to address the contradictory logic of negation Stirner is using, from Zen to Deconstruction.

Assuming that he has ghostbusted the spooks is to assume a very ideologically-charged perspective about the progress of conceptual thought in the west. And it's not only that, we must also consider that language is dialogic, which means that the language, the concepts Stirner uses to poke around with in first place are all shaped and ideologically charged before he even gets to employ them, he inherits his words and thereby whatever ideology is embedded in them, so it is not even clear whether there is really a distinct Stirner-type ideology critique and not just some permutation of a prevailing ideology. His whole endeavour is shot to shit and full of presuppositions, which is why people are debating over ideology, why Stirner did not solve the problem of ideology, and why its usefulness even as a concept today is in question.

Minima Moralia no doubt

He has a double chin. I can't take him seriously if he is incapable of maintaining his own weight.

If you're too dumb to get references, then you're too dumb to be starting threads on this board.

Pynchon doesn't want you to get his references, that's part of his appeal and mystique. It's also why people criticize him
