Keep nothing in your mind, experience it as a human.

Throw away your modern day outlook.

The Iliad and Odyssey exalt the nobility of Honor.

The very first word of the Iliad is “RAGE.” The “RAGE” of Achilles when his honor is violated and his rightful prize and love is taken from him by his very own commander.

Right here we see Man versus State, as Achilles is the superior warrior, and as he takes all the risks, he ought get the reward. That is the Natural Law of Zeus, for after Achilles Natural Rights are violated and Achilles quits, Zeus sees to it that the Greeks begin to lose, as Zeus’s will was done.

Long before Atlas Shrugged in Rand’s cheap novel, Achilles quit the Greek army.

Homer shows that women who honor their commitments, like Penelope, lead to happy endings. Women who disregard their commitments, like Helen, lead to War.

Achilles quits for the sake of Honor, refuses to return when offered millions times more prizes, arguing that once honor is taken away, mere money/prizes cannot buy it back. He also reasons that all the wealth in the world is not worth him losing his life in an arena where his honor was taken away. When offered honors and awards, Achilles states, “I receive my honor from Zeus, not from corrupt Kings."

And too Achilles returns to fight for Honor, so as to avenge the death of his friend Patroculus, knowing full well he will die.

Simply put, Achilles is a man who lives and dies not for mere prizes, nor perks, nor tenure, nor titles, nor money, but for honor, and honor alone.

Because idiotic women in teens/twenties/onwards think they can live vicariously through their writing because nobody wants them

>>9059832
this, but without being a complete twat:
it's where kids without writing or life experience go to write.

Parrots what I said and insults me while sharing my opinion. Project harder darling

The trick is to develop particular traits and ticks to make yourself seem endearing.

Par example, Richard Stallman once ate something from his foot and now he is recognised as the world's greatest computer scientist.

Zizek is just the most visible among Slovene philosophers who were into the same thing, at the same time, at the same place.

"Making it" is basically complete luck. And if you follow the stories of who makes it a bit more closely regardless of the industry, you will see it always follows the same pattern.

A group of people all into the same thing, at the same location, at the same time. You put in the work to position yourself to make it, but the actual opportunity and if you're going to be the guy (or among the guys) that makes it is 100% random.

>>9059827
So you mean Slovenia has rich philosophical traditions?

One of my friends shares from this page all the time. But she also shares lots of good memes so I don't want to delete her.

>>9059697
I deleted the friends who see to sasha gray as great artist and dj.

I hate those faggots

>>9059697
Why the fuck they are associating AUM with this faggotry ??

Why did you do it?

>>9059704
Because I don't have the social skills to ever have a real job.

>>9059707
Is it a good substitute for a real job?

the language, mostly.

French writers are from France, and German writers are from Germany.

the garbage is eaten and your dog is pregnant

west is best

>>9059592

because the west is civilized while people in the middle east and Africa are too busy hitting each other with sticks.

Funny if you consider that civilization started in those placed but never excelled there.

In the end it's because the Europe as a continent is hard to conquer, you need to be already civilized to a certain extent to do it, but if you manage to settle there it is the best geographic environment to create advanced civilizations. And as soon as a group of people managed to civilize it is able to produce art and culture.

>>9059592
Because the bourgeoise of the past wanted to look smart, so they paid actual geniuses to produce art. Do this for a few hundred years and you'll get a cultural tradition going on.

That said the WEST at large doesn't have an abundance of literature and philosophy, stop appropriating German, Italian, French and Spanish accomplishments, especially if you're American.

about the same time I realized that in all of human history, decadent entertainment has been the central focal point.

What if it's just one big poem desu.

>>9059508
You're half right there boss. Only poetry is worth reading

if time is a limited resource, I believe stereo typing is a useful tool

You are an ancient hominid, you see the silhouette of a large cat in the grasses. You aren't sure if you should limit your necessary foraging, but time is of the essence. Based on previous experiences with another large cat species, you decide to not take the risk and leave the grasslands to seek refuge. Your neighbor does not make this generalization and gets robbed by a nigger.. I mean cat.

In all seriousness I think stereotyping is caused by lazy thinking. Is it really that difficult to take a few seconds to judge someone based on their individual behavior? Wouldn't you want someone to do the same unto you?

>>9059463
>an extreme form of generalizing and therefore, as the argument goes, hinders critical thinking

Does not follow. Generalising isn't useful?

>>9059463
>>9059477
>if time is a limited resource, I believe stereo typing is a useful tool
for some reason, for a few minutes I thought stereotyping was a type of shorthand writing.

the greeks and kant are a good place to start with Nietzsche.
