The student is the counter culture of the 70s. The same one that makes you read books by feminist authors instead of great literary heroes.
Fuck that guy.

Imagine being such a brainlet and dork that you have to boast about knowing about a stupid movement during the 20th century instead of answering the question.
What next? Ha! This guy doesn't know about Flux!
Embarrassing.

Listening right now. Sam Harris is at his best when attempting to apply rational thought to politics, and doesnt try to teach an undergrad philosophy course.
>Are you a cuck?
The show seems to imply that Trump cucked every single person in America, personally. And euros.
I like bannon, and understand liberals are so garbage right now that they have to be fought against, but the evidence is piling up that trump is not only insane, but incompetent. My agreements on Islam, labor, the liberal press, protectionism, etc are irrelevant.

Would you ever use the word "nigger" in your writing? Or is your writing too politically correct?

as a narrator - I don't have to because I have many black friends and I like them in general
as a caracter - sure, why not?

Are you sure those are the only two options OP?

I use nigger extensively, but then again most of my writing is shitposting on 4chink.
My heart tells me that there is god in the universe and a purpose and a path for the soul, but my brain tells me that the universe is cold and uncaring, and that I should be an egoistic nihilist.
On a physical and material level, there are far more advantages to being an knave instead of an altruist. This is adds another layer of contention.
I often find myself doing something like asking the universe/god to provide the answer to a big question in my life through something such as a coin flip.
But I can provide so many examples and reasons in support of nihilism. Frustration. Injustice. Unfairness. Suffering. Wrong decisions. Decades wasted going down paths of suffering with no light. And so many more reasons.
How can I reconcile the two? I have FELT destiny. I have FELT a master plan. I have FELT something bigger. I have FELT fate and peace in my heart. But I have also felt nihilism, and a cold uncaring world.

For instance, I get in a wreck. "Was I doing something wrong in my life? What thoughts was I thinking today? What path was I on? What is god trying to tell me? What do I feel guilty about? What is the universe trying to tell me?" vs "I got in a wreck. That sucks. It happens."

Let's talk about existentialism /lit/. Kierkegaard has interested me lately. Correct me if I am wrong, but his basic premise is that people must find their own meaning in life?

Who talks about the idea of meaning existing a priori and that it need only be shaped into a form that can be acted upon?

Sartre, Jean-Paul. Even more awful than Camus.

>Conservative group cancels speech by Yiannopoulos
https://archive.is/k52vV
>Highlights
Simon & Schuster and its Threshold Editions imprint announced that "after careful consideration" they had pulled the book, for which pre-orders placed it high on Amazon.com's best-seller lists.
The subject of intense controversy from the start, "Dangerous" was originally scheduled to come out in March. But Yiannopoulos pushed back the release to June so he could write about the protests during his recent campus tour, including a cancelled appearance at the University of California, Berkeley.
At the time of his publisher's decision Monday, "Dangerous" ranked No. 83 on Amazon's overall list and No. 1 in the subcategory of "Censorship & Politics."
Simon & Schuster did not offer any specific reason for pulling "Dangerous."
More than 100 Simon & Schuster authors had objected to his book deal, which was announced last December, and Roxane Gay withdrew a planned book. Some bookstores had said they would not sell it, although the National Coalition Against Censorship and other free speech organizations had defended the publisher.
Threshold is a conservative imprint that has published books by President Donald Trump, who has defended Yiannopoulos, and former Vice President Dick Cheney, among others.

Anyone who reads trash non-fiction by political hacks does not belong on this board. I was talking to a qt who told me she loved history. I asked her about some recent history works and she told me about pic related.

Dropped.
Maybe he can self publish on Amazon.

In this case I always confess as I can not trust the other person not to. Confessing feels to be a safer bet, and the average between 0 and 5 is lower than 1 and 20.
Also the chance at no prison sentence is more enticing than the chance of a 1 year sentence. because with silence 1 year is the best I can hope for.

Because he holds public conferences?
He is more a public figure than an intellectual for sure but at least he speaks to people nobody dare to engage.
>>
Nobody thinks he's intellectual, including himself. Milo constantly says that he never expressed any ideas that aren't commonly agreed upon by millions of americans
>>
Because people like you constantly give him political oxygen by never shutting up about him.
>"The author turned 23 only two months ago, but already he is being hailed as one of Ireland's finest contemporary authors"
>"In these 13 stories [...] a sunny disposition is nowhere to be found. It’s a collection saturated with nihilism. Nearly all the characters are men, several are writers, and all suffer from failures of some kind — literary neglect, listless sexual encounters, creative impotence.[...] In “Paris Story,” a failed novelist, envious of his friend’s success, writes a cruel review of her work that haunts him for years. “On Nietzsche” recalls the narrator’s obsession, years ago, with writing a book about Nietzsche, a project he cannot complete. Elsewhere, an aspiring writer suffers “a prolonged psychic unraveling” when he accepts, finally, that he will never write like Martin Amis."
>"A few of the stories seem slight, like clever vignettes. More often than not, though, Doyle plumbs the bleaker aspects of literary life with startling precision and candor."

Is it worth it to learn Latin to read older litterature in its original language?
I don't have a specific period in mind, it could be anything from Cicero's "De Oratore" to Spinoza's "Ethica, ordine geometrico demonstrata".

Are you telling me you're not fluent in latin yet? Geez louise!

Learning Latin is going to have more use for you outside of reading original Latin texts. Your perspective on vocab will change, and you will be able to pick up many words and languges quickly.

What language did he write this in?
Do the words for man (masculine) and man (human) and man (grown up) all coincide in the language he wrote in?
