Take the redpill and drop all continental philosophy, marxism, and psychoanalysis which are all wrong.

Go for Moldbug, Hitler, and Evola. We have to reclaim our white lands

Get A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis by Bruce Fink

This is like waxing poetic about Demons. You do understand Black Swan is the Brothers Karamazov of Taleb, yes?

>>9633418

I don't see how that's true. It's like a fractal where zooming out makes you go from fooled by randomness to black swan to Antifragile.

Never read him OP, what's good about him? I'm been considering picking up his work since it was recommended in an autodidact thread.

sorry, should have pasted in some lures
>This pseudo-modern world, so frightening and seemingly uncontrollable, inevitably feeds a desire to return to the infantile playing with toys which also characterises the pseudo-modern cultural world. Here, the typical emotional state, radically superseding the hyper-consciousness of irony, is the trance – the state of being swallowed up by your activity. In place of the neurosis of modernism and the narcissism of postmodernism, pseudo-modernism takes the world away, by creating a new weightless nowhere of silent autism. You click, you punch the keys, you are ‘involved’, engulfed, deciding. You are the text, there is no-one else, no ‘author’; there is nowhere else, no other time or place. You are free: you are the text: the text is superseded.

If you didn't at least smirk at that you're autistic.

Post it, girlbrain.

I was at the playground
I went to the water fountain

To see if there were coins in it

Slides, hot from the sun. Wood chips allover, looking to jump in my socks at every buoyant step and hapless fall. The beginnings of the love for thrill, as I kick up to harder to get go fast on the swing. Eventually someone's going to dare me to jump.

Prose did not replace poetry. Are you just blind or you're too lazy to find a good poem?

because we suck and are the ones with heads filled with straw

>>9632912
I think that more people read contemporary prose over contemporary poetry. Contemporary prose is better but not by much. Both are abysmal. I also think that modern poetry is waaaaaaaay to pretentious or just wayyyyy too low brow. Its like poop on a canvas. People throw crap on a page and because its confessional or edgy it is published.

>>9632874
Yes. When coupled with love, this effect is almost twofold in strength.

>>9632882
but love,when you talkof the love between a man and a woman itself doesn't really exist, for women can't love as men do. I was like you, I loved love, but that is over now. I still greatly appreciate beauty though

>>9632874
Absolutely nothing is by itself fulfilling enough to be the essence of life.

Apparently not, although it might help if you post the template.

You can read most of his works as standalone stories. Honestly, I just got several books of collected works and started reading the ones that appealed the most to me.

>>9632735
Lovecraft did a lot of standalone stories, none of them really relate to each other. Some people will reccommend starting with the first of his work and read onwards.

Personally I own 3 Books of Lovecraft's work.

First was 5 or so stories,

Second had about 10 stories

Third book I got was the complete collection with all stories.

I've read them all and can honestly say in my opinion order doesn't matter, I read them in the order I bought them from page 1 to x.

That being said if you want to start off with the first story I read of his you can: The Dunwich Horror.

I think it is a good entry piece, it gives you a very good feel of Lovecraft, or if you want to read another good story you can always start with my favourite The dreams in the witch house

I think I'll follow your advice and start wih "The Dunwich Horror", I found a book with the whole collection of his stories, but it's in English, do you think his books are easy to read for someone who speaks quite good English ?

I reject outright the idea that a word in isolation can be beautiful or ugly.

Because we don't have many beautiful words to begin with.
