Oz is literally a political satire concerned, among other things, with the gold and silver standards for the U.S. dollar.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

I'll remove this post once the answer is posted to this dumb ass question.
Is there a book called Men & Women? It's by an alive but obscure writer and I'm pretty sure it exists with a variation of that title. There is also a reprint of it coming out soon IIRC.

I haven't read any fantasy books in years but recently i've been thinking about getting into the game of thrones books.
I really like the show but i feel like its being pushed to a path with too much mindless action. I like exploring the characters and having more build up before the climax takes place
Will the books satisfy my needs or will i be bored to death?

Tell me more about your love for the book, i.e. convince me to read it.
>>
>>9906357
That one is a really quick read because its illustrated and abridged.
Its a rare look into a fascinating time period and setting that very few Westerners are aware of, basically China transitioning out of being ruled by an Emperor, Westerners increasing their control and influence and all the growing pains of a huge nation that might have been on the brink of modernization if it weren't for the subsequent setback with Japan and WW2.

I read whatever I want fag
The way that becomes a way is not the Immortal Way
the name that becomes a name is not the Immortal Name
the maiden of Heaven and Earth has no name
the mother of all things has a name
thus in innocence we see the beginning
in passion we see the end
two different names for one and the same
the one we call dark
the dark beyond dark
the door to all beginnings

Made an alphabet matrix to help with writing poetry.
Green color means the syllable combo sounds smooth or is easy to pronounce.
Red color means the syllable combo sounds rough or is hard to pronounce.
White means in between green and red.
Discuss if you think some syllable combos should change color and what is easy or hard to pronounce for you.
I am not a native engish speaker(I am Dutch) so I am wondering how people of other languages view this chart.

This might seem very obvious to most, but I really got new insights into how words are formed.
For example:
The syllable combinations
RI, IB, BI, IT. are green.
The syllable combinations
RB, BT are red and white.
Combine the greens together:
RIIBBIIT. Remove unnecessary syllables.
RIBBIT.

Read Apophthegmata Patrum [archive.org has a good epub conversion and proper pdf]
6. A brother came to Scetis to visit Abba Moses and asked him
for a word. The old man said to him, 'Go, sit in your cell, and your
cell will teach you everything.'
4. The same Father related this: 'Abba John, abbot of a great
monastery, went to Abba Paesius who had been living for forty
years very far off in the desert. As he was very fond of him and
could therefore speak freely with him, he said to him, "What good have
you done by living here in retreat for so long, and not being easily
disturbed by anyone?" He replied, "Since I lived in solitude
the sun has never seen me eating." Abba John said to him, "As for
me, it has never seen me angry." '
"44. Some old men came one day to Abba Arsenius and insisted
on seeing him. He received them. Then they asked him to say a
word to them about those who live in solitude without seeing
anyone. The old man said to them, As long as a young girl is living
in her father's house, many young men wish to marry her, but when
she has taken a husband, she is no longer pleasing to everyone;
despised by some, approved by others, she no longer enjoys the
favour of former times, when she lived a hidden life. So it is with
the soul; from the day when it is shown to everyone, it is no longer
able to satisfy everyone.' "
14. He also said, 'The man who has learnt the sweetness of
the cell flees from his neighbour but not as though he despised
him.'

To you, what is the difference between self identity and self expression? How and why do certain authors condemn the former and promote the latter?
4 Posts / 1 Images

>>9905897
Self-expression is the actual form of self-identity. Perhaps the authors who condemn self-identity do so in order to encourage action over words. The self has no substance until it is given form by expression into reality through word or deed... but talking about your self-identity means that you are acting in accordance with it, does it not? I see few ways that these are dissimilar. Perhaps the caution is one against the holding of a belief of identity that is incongruous with the identity that is actually expressed.
>>
>>9905998
Relative to Marx and Eastern philosophy, they reject self identity because they find it vain or as a way to distance yourself from community. There has to be done difference between vanity and art, right?
>>
>>9906080
I don't believe that having a sense of self is inherently vain at all. How is one supposed to create art (is self-expression inherently artistic?) that illuminates their inner self if they have no sense of what that inner self is?
There may be fault in cultivating uniqueness at the expense of social acceptance. Once again, however, the individual's actions have alienated him; he has expressed himself as opposed to society, and his self-identity has become actualized.
