As with all genre fiction, there are a handful of gems on top of a pile of shit

I'm redpilled, a white and proud masculine man, who will not accept you putting a postmodernist, a modernist degenerate, and a woman on a pedestal.

Choose proud white men of a conservative bend, or fuck off to plebbit

Read more commentaries, and essays on the books and reread them. As you read their comments see what they pick up on and start to apply the same techniques and

What the fuck is that I never heard about it?

I thought Celine was going to be a redpill alpha male role model for me, but dudes just a degenerate who writes about homosex and getting cucked by sluts all the time.

empiricist: the only legitimate claims are those which are known through sensory experience
skeptic: how did you find out what you just said from sensory experience?

>>9587211
Well, you could stop reading things. Watch a lot of MSM and game shows and junk.

>>9587231
>skeptic: how did you find out what you just said from sensory experience?
And the empiricist be like psychological certainty

Don't bother. Empiricism culminates in skepticism, IS skepticism. Kant figured that shit out way back which is why he was such a sperg because obviously (to him) science and rational justifications for ethics existed.

I just don't find him that convincing. Probably too high iq 4 me

When I was dumb and edgy.

I always knew they were right

The movie is shit and so is the book. Waste your time on something better.

t. /lit/ and /tv/

Seriously don't get why it became so damn popular. Makes me suspect some shenanigans went on, like with Rowling.

Didn't read it.
Celestine Prophecy tier

Andy Weir's The Martian.

The humour is what irritated me the most. It felt like it was aiming for a more young adult/teenager audience so a lot of the humour felt very immature to me. One of my friends defended it, saying that he didn't find it funny either but that it made sense as the protagonist is attempting to lighten the mood for himself, otherwise he would just be in a spiral of self-wallowing and he isn't that type of character. I sort of agreed but I don't think that excuses lazy attempts at humour (lazy attempts without any sense of irony). When the protagonist isn't in the chapter, the pace also drops to a stunting halt as various people at NASA with no characterisation spout paragraphs upon paragraphs of hand-holding exposition.

I only read the book because a friend gave me a copy and he wanted to know what I thought about it.

Anything by Mark Z Danielewski. That motherfucker relies too heavily on formatting and graphology gimmicks to pass off subpar mysteries as post-modernist experimental literature. You remove any sense of gimmickry from his writing and you're left with a pulpy book with some twists and turns. He's like Stephen King, he just likes to waste paper.

The Greek meme is dead

This is now a Peterson thread.

Agamemnon's stories are a series of fuck-ups whether it's the Iliad or the tragedian's plays.

>>9592035
See if you can finish the rest of it in the same time that took you to get there, that'd be an improvement. Then again there's no infamously boring Catalogue of Ships to slow you down.

absolutely not

almost as shit as donald glover

Why do you people insist on posting shit you hate every day?
It's like the /pol/-retards and frogfaggots who go out of their way to search through social media to find something to screenshot and post on 4chan.

Because myths are created from the ancient human sub conscious and can be linked to our own desires and concerns. How do you not get this? The only retarded thing is the synchronicity chart.

No such thing
