Vary your comma use, sometimes cutting them out of sentences entirely. Throw in some semicolons and em dashes even if you have noidea how they work. Try to describe things or talk about them longer. Figure out how to do more than just saying what happened in a way that doesn't feel awkward or forced to you.

thank you

>adjectively

You're a lost cause.

They're as good as any other words. Plus swearing in English is kind of cute in it's expressive deficiency compared to other languages.

>>9063889
I prefer the use of "d---" as in romantic novels.

Only in dialogue.

Confirmed for never having been to Ireland, Scotland or Australia.

Literally nobody is worshiping philosophers.

>>9063825
this is literally exemplified in another thread i was on, but i wonder if you come to that conclusion genuinely independently, or does the philosopher and culture itself hold such an influence over you that it is inevitable for you to come to these conclusions seemingly of your own volition, when in fact it's an inceptionesque germination of seeds planted by these genius predecessors, shapers of civilization as we know it? best thing to consider is the possibility of hubris clouding your judgement.

This one is on human behavioural biology, but the prof is really good and it tackles a lot of interesting (though surface level) problems in the phil of science

how about you read nietzsche... and then you'll see what truth actually is

>>9063723
yeah that was the quote i forgot what it was

In "Truth and Lies in a Non-moral Sense," Nietzsche writes about how truth is socially constructed by society in order to avoid pain; that what is considered painful is categorized as a lie and what is best for the weak is truth. He says that this is fucking dumb, and that what humans think is painful doesn't matter wrt to truth. At the same time, he expresses serious doubt about whether or not humans have access to any kind of truth, and so he suggests the rejection of commonly held truth in order to live by one's own truth.

I know this is a meme thread, but it's an interesting little essay. It's very early Nietzsche, so keep in mind that he thought a bit differently by the end of his career.

The book we recommend is entitled "my diary desu" (マイダイアリー です). It is very rare and not available anywhere online. I was able to find mine through a rare books dealer (myself). I translated it from the original Japanese and have considered sharing it, but I think it would be unfair that others be spared the great toil to which I was subjected.

Ah, makes sense. I was wondering why a children's illustrated novel was so highly praised by /lit/.

It's funny when Muslims claim that he's one of them.

>>9063296
No, I am.

>>9063296
he has the expression of zizek

I'm interested in what your "struggle" has been like

Did you one day go for 10 hours before eating?

Did you lose your mom at the supermarket once?

Did Tommy from school take your eraser?

No normal publisher is going to pick this up, so familiarize yourself with the white nationalist publishing houses.

Most likely your book will be printed and spiral bound in some bearded dude's garage.

Now I realize why they call them Generation Z, because it may just be the last generation.

Either the Bible or the Quran.

>>9063115
my word. that pic is horrible.
great expectations was great for what it was, a book for a child.


Ann Karenina is the most overrated book in existence.

>>9063065
You're not anyone special, therefore you must understand you are not of importance to anyone. You are just another human being. another ant working for the queen.
Only he with status, power and respect is allowed to look down on others as he has the prerequisities in which he can be considered "better than someone else". It is because you lack these things that you are who you are and you must accept the reality that you truly are;
Nobody special.

You are not important, so kill yourself.
Just kidding.

Don't give a damn about anything and you will overcome it.
