this.

if you're an idiot, they're great. if you have half a brain, it will become readily apparent that these books belong at your local salvation army.

Unless you're really perceptive, you probably won't get much out of it on the first read. It'll just come across as a directionless, anticlimactic story in a fairly interesting setting that didn't live up to its potential.

If you're willing to read it three or more times, though, you'll find one of the most rewarding works of scifi of pretty much all time.

Their minds are liberated

Because it's whats right :^)

Depends on your definition of good writer, but maybe it's because they see everything from all different angles and just decide that's what they thought was best?

Just my thought

>he actually believes anything is worth reading except Finnegans Wake

For most life is relatively fine; who wouldnt want things better? If they could be; but at what kinds of what cost?

Always what does it mean? What does it matter? All about actual and discussion of potential value/s? And the relativity of the accuracy of beliefs?

The worst things in the world are: Evil (having power), poverty (of material, of physical, of mental), ill health, dangerous ignorance, accidents, failing to fulfil legal obligation and desire?

Life can be a lot of work but there are various modes of ease; some for some, many for many; and all the ways to ask how things for who can, should, be better?

What is the least that must be done to assure no evil occurs?

Are the way things are now alright, good and acceptable?

Who overseers places that are not alright, good and acceptable?

How many bad plans should there be?

Who is in charge of good planning?

How much power should good planners have?

How much should one who is not well be helped?

Where is the discussion of how many things in the world are wrong?

How much power should there be to force what is bad to be good? (person, place, thing)

How can we be most certain the strongest and most desiring to be righteous powers are not fallible?

How many deals are made behind the door anyway and how much say can and should the people really have?

It would be so near impossible to not have terrible people exist
(partly because the variously relatively terrible people pleading their case with the persecution of an innocent or other)(the struggle of defining and enforcing, though it is done largely, and largely successfully to degrees already, as law)

Is a poor person more guilty for being poor than the committer of a white collar crime?

If power is currupt, if the system of justice is unjust, is that ok, is that ever good, acceptable? As long as its not hurting too many?

One of the largest reasons we might be interested in the events of the world, is because we believe some of them may be wrong, and we would like to see them righted?

Do we not mainly want everything to be alright?

But what would that take?

How many things, places, people right now are allright and will be, for how long?

How can we define alright, and agree on that definition?

I am interested in Truth, information, the world, importance, value/s, beliefs, arguments, discussions, right and wrong, justice and injustice, the variancies of power and the relative worthniesses of its desires, the relative justifications of complaints, problems and solutions, the arguments for what is and what should be.

Maybe some of what I wrote would inspire some conversation on any potential interesting topic


These statements and questions can be read in a minute or two, but every day and every hour, is full of life, and many lives all striving to flourish, to carve out their own space and tracks. The space of the reality of time and lifes action, desires, creations, and strivings.

>Maybe some of what I wrote would inspire some conversation on any potential interesting topic
You know what else would be interesting? Talking about books.
Which book? Books considered literature. /lit/ if you will.

Better idea, instead of role playing as a communist revolutionary, how about you role play as Werther in the second half of the book.

Werther died because of the patriarchal system depicted in the book. Telling of western civilization.

OP: no, you're Lafayette Ron Hubbard. you can't write for shit, you lie constantly and you devoted your life to finding a perfect free ride. the high point in your life was when you were on the high seas in a boat paid for by someone else, fondling thirteen-year-old girls in tight pants and slowly starving the rest of the crew to death.

I'm Žižek. I love drugs, smart literature, cinema, love communism, funny, and probably have the most deep psychoanalytic skills into the human and cultural psyche that most of the normie dweebs here on /lit/.

Any communist or syndicalist recs?

Almost 13. Gore Vidal says that kids need to get into reading between 6 and 13 or they will never learn to read well, so there's not much time to waste here.

it's too bad that jewish kid who mowed down all those communists in virginia didn't write a manifesto it would be a best seller
