Surely there's an adult swim hour at your public pool, anon. At mine it's 5-6p. Almost no one's there these hours. Going right now, in fact....
I knew the punchline after reading the first line

Do they exist?
Nothing exists.

>brainlets actually believe this
I just solved the right v left debate.
Cogito ergo sum
Therefore Lefties don't exist
I just absolutely destroyed my qt crush in a literary debate. I mean, it was brutal how badly she lost. By the end, she was just agreeing with me and nodding her head sadly. Should I have held back or did I do the right thing? Did I increase my chances or lose them all completely? Do girls like being intellectually brutalized into submission?
>>9901254
>Do girls like being intellectually brutalized into submission?
no, they only like being physically brutalized into submission
If she was agreeing with you by the end then she definitely wants the D.

His cadence is almost annoying enough to make you not like his writing
'Happiness' can never be achieved by every human. Therefore it is reasonable to only to try and maintain your own 'happiness'.
Am I right?
>>9900968
why the fuck should i care about people even if happiness was possible for everyone
lol

Why the picture of Rudolf Steiner?
>>9900978
I was suppost to upload a pic of Stirner, but I clicked the wrong one
Opinions on this from people who have read the books?
Because "critics" butchered this, even though it was better than trash like The Force Awakens IMO.
From someone who read the books it was goodish overall, due to it being a mix of absolutely amazing bits and absolutely shitty bits
>>9900916
>want to get into this series
>see one book at a flea market
>it's thicker than my fucking bicep
>"part four of the dark tower series"
How the fuck can you bring yourself to even get started? This is insane
>>9901620
I mean, is "Dark Tower" what you get when you pile up all the volumes?
Your opinion on Shakespeare? Favorite and least favorite plays?
What do you like / dislike about him?
and was he truly the greatest writer to live so far, at least in the Occidental world, in your opinion of course? Better than Homer, Dante, Goethe?
>shakespeare
umm first off, literally who tf is shakespeare?
And secondly what kind of gay name is that??
It sounds like a name my brother would use as a prank on the phone
Favourite play is definitely Othello.

I actually love that this guy exists and feel no animosity towards him because his whole persona and general identity is so fun to laugh at
Watching the beginning of his Bataille review was like observing a Woody Allen character without a hint of self awareness. Sublime.
This is amazing.
>>9900257
What did you like about it?
I have never heard of this book
>>9900262
It literally change the way you see the world. And it's not a meme this time
>>9900257
its a very hard book to tackl not only because of the topic which is one of the most relevant in the field of philosophy and cognitive science but merleau-ponty's lenguage demands a good amount of focus to follow his train of thaught but also takes alot of prior knowledge of which merelau-ponty kinga expects you allready have when reading his book. i dont know of any author that did souch a good job of providing souch a good acount and combining modern science (at the time) with fenomenology which is an inherantly subjective experience and thus very hard to put into a objective format.
Recently finished The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, The Scarlet Gospel and A Clockwork Orange.
I was thinking about picking up The Isle of Doctor Monreau next,
However I heard there was a sequel of sorts to The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, at least as far as Mike (The AI) is concerned.
Any thoughts or Suggestions would appreciated.
Any other pro war authors or books that anyone might suggest? Bonus if they are similar to Heinlein.
>>9901351
In fiction? That's a tall order senpai. The prevailing zeitgeist is decidedly antiwar
>>9901511
Hence the reason behind the inquiry.
