>>9791459
zizek has very brilliant insights but his way to develop thoughts is retarded and goes nowhere

also him being a leftist is basically just a meme, could have been as well a rightwinger

Coriolanus and Lear are his greatest. Get on my lvl.

Romance was quite common back then.
A play based on a power-hungy tyrant was something extraordinarily new

>>9791411
Lear is overrated. Macbeth and Hamlet are superior plays. However, his greatest play is Othello. If the Ancient Greeks assembled the skeleton of drama, Shakespeare added the organs and the muscles. And if Shakespeare added the organs and the muscles, Eugene O'Neill added the skin and the texture.

I usually just read the their manifesto or letters they've written. Wikipedia articles can sometimes be false (e.g. Martin Bryant) t.v. / movies more so. If they have a biography written that would work depending on how accurate it is. who are you interested in learning about? anyone in particular?

Nicomachean Ethics with Joe Sachs.

>>9791195

red-pill me on Nicomachaean ethics please

Read Poetics, Nicomachean Ethics and Politics, then move on. You won't understand anything else.

I always do so I can be a patrician in two fields at once.

No, any sort of noise besides something like a fan bothers me to the point where I can't concentrate on my reading at all.

I looked at a rock once very closely. I was reading a 5 billion year old love note to me.... from God

In the original, fragments from Ennius. In translation, the Iliad

The poetry of the blood coarsing through my veins.
The most obscure and personal lyrics buried and found in the earth which i sow.
A novel written every minute of my life, but will all be lost as dust in the wind.
My diary desu.

Les Miserables is pretty /lit/.

Maybe, I think most are just autism distractions though.

Every year the atheism grows.

>>9791022
Absolutely. The solution isn't a reversion to the slave faith of the Jew demiurge, but he is doing a great service in pointing these scientistic simpletons in desperate need of a leader toward Jung. They may awaken from their slumbers yet, and the Aryan race reborn.

I doubt it, if anything the nu-atheist crowd morphed and diversified. They are still present, and I'm imagining that certain online subcultures have former or morphed new atheists amongst their ranks. I'm imagining that the alt-light has a fraction of them.

The internet is truly interesting in that it allows information to spread so much faster as well as allowing much more information. I'm personally baffled by the explosion of the 'alt-right', and remember how we would discuss it here and nobody said it was a thing, until it blowed up in meatspace and the kekistani incident happened.

Perhaps you are seeing it wrong and it is a younger generation that takes Peterson as their lords and savior.

read the todd may book

Open the wikipedia page. Look up 'influences'.

Basically just read continental philosophy until your brain turns into pure energy and then everything makes sense

I wish I were joking. This is how you read all continental philosophy. Just keep doing it and eventually it's like you become a space alien made of ghostly elastic twizzlers that reach out and grab other continental philosophers and absorb them into your brain. I don't remember how my brain worked before I could read Deleuze or Derrida or Baudrillard with reasonable confidence. It might have been made of wood or something.

A time capsule for when this place changes or shuts down. Some funny stuff framed by shitposting.

>>9790768
Don't know how I've never heard of "Been Down So Long". Just bought the original edition off Amazon.

by not being born after 1970

have your characters wear a lot of velcro

This genre is dead, think of something a-new

doesn't matter, you're not going to get it published either way.

You should read of if you think it's a horrific racist screed or epic redpill manifesto, otherwise don't bother

>>9790478
these posts are so /lit/ lol. honestly though you need to read peter singer. wouldnt you save a drowning child? well, there are other people out there dying too... if you dont want to be irrational, the only reasonable thing to do is to help them

>what am I in for if I do?

the truth.

but yes you should read it, it's a good study of the importance of intelligence in society. contrary to popular belief it's not all about race.

>dude if you wouldn't ignore a kid drowning next to you you should give all your money to niggers lmao

>>9790423
>dude not being a racist lmao

I wonder if he actually believes that we should kill all carnivores, or does that to sound interesting.
Nature is suffering, but it is clueless to think that removing carnivores from it vanquishes that very thing.

Not to mention it is impractical. But I have to say at least his idea is refreshing.
