Probably, and I'm gonna deeply enjoy the fan tears.

He'll die first, someone else will use the notes he leaves behind to write the last two as well as a number of spin-offs. These will be even worse than the originals, leading to all the idiotic fans lionising him further as some sort of genius.

The pedos usually hang out at /tv/.

Anyone know if and where Nabokov's postscriptum of his Russian translation is included? It's a pretty obvious omission of my annotated Lolita.

was nabokov a pedo?

I studied English at a top UK University. I really enjoyed it, but it was a tricky finding good paid employment after graduating. It worked out in the long run. I now work in a comms/marketing position in a theatre and love what I do but it's taken a comparatively long time to get there and I'm not particularly well paid.

It's easy to be 17 or 18 and pursue something because you love it (rather than for the money), but when reality hits after graduation, it can be tough.

Are you American? Then don't.

I have a Master's degree in English but I'm Scandinavian. It's been alright, but you definitely have got to not mind teaching because that's pretty much always Plan B.

You won't become a professor.

Where did your peers end up?

Why do you say I won't? I have pretty good communication skills so I could probably network. Also single and don't plan on kids so I have time

Also, things like disenchantment / dialectic of Enlightenment, obviously.

Maybe the Unabomber Manifesto

Bought it but I haven't read it yet. It seems pretty interesting, but I want to do more background reading in philosophy before I try to tackle this (as I assume I'll need or at the minimum benefit from such prior reading).

You need to start worrying about getting your dick wet, son. Priorities are all out of whack.

She's only pretending to give a shit about men here. What she's really saying is that she's attracted to guys who treat her like shit but is at odds with the fact that being treated like shit isn't actually fun yet she can't help the attraction regardless so she's conflicted and angry with herself. And if she's conflicted and angry with herself then naturally it is men who are at fault because she is strong and woke and men are baddies.

Modern poetry is pretty difficult in general and I'd say Stevens is particularly difficult until you understand what he's about.

I suggest to keep reading and thinking about them. Or get a book or essays about him. I suggest vendler's Wallace Stevens: words chosen out of desire

So is this Gnosticism exclusive, or do you consider this compatible with Christianity? I ask because I read about Phillip Dick's belief that a demiurge uses the material world to distract us from Christ's return/arrival.
