Pathos is able to persuade anyone's heart if the person even considers it an inkling of pathos, while logos seems dull and monotonous most of the time and loses people's attention.

he's just hiding his powerlevel. the shatman is a bona fide patrician

>After graduating from McGill University in 1952, Shatner became the business manager for the Mountain Playhouse in Montreal before joining the Canadian National Repertory Theatre in Ottawa, where he trained as a classical Shakespearean actor.[14] Shatner began performing at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario, beginning in 1954. He played a range of roles at the Stratford Festival in productions that included a minor role in the opening scene of a renowned and nationally televised production of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex directed by Tyrone Guthrie, Shakespeare's Henry V, and Marlowe's Tamburlaine the Great, in which Shatner made his Broadway debut in 1956.[15]

You've read shit stories or are retarded if you can't see the point of short fiction. Have you read Chekhov, Borges, Tolstoy's short stories? Dostoevsky has some great ones. They are economic and deliberative pieces of writing without the bloat of plot, that can be read in one sitting. Here are my favourite short collections

Jorge Luis Borges - Labyrinthes
Anton Chekhov - About Love And Other Stories (OUP, Bartlett trans)
Dostoevsky - White Nights & Other Stories (OUP, Myers trans)
Tolstoy - Death Of Ivan Ilyich and Others (Penguin)
Philip K Dick - Reader (Gollancz)

It's also the best form of genre lit particularly sci-fi.

Short stories can b e just as great as novels. There are a decent amount of writers who were masterful short story writers, so i'm not sure why you've not been exposed to at least one of them yet. I think the first short story I read that had a lasting effect on me was Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Birth Mark: I shed a few tears at the end, and that's not even an especially amazing short story.

Read Chaucer, Chekhov, Von Kliest, Kafka, Alice Munro, Flannery O'Connor, Barth, Barthelme, Borges, Denis Johnson and Nabokov and get back to me.

I guess you could entertain the idea of some kind of redemption.

I guess the pendulum is moving back to spiritualism and something new will eventually come up as society changes. Perhaps POMO was the forefront of these changes and as such the new ideas will have to deal with it or in some way declare it dead at some point due to not being useful.

Kinda a pragmatic stance, but at this point I take anything that isn't POMO senpai

Pa. Why are eggs breakfast?

What.

You can put bacon on lunch.

Ye.

But if you put eggs on stuff it becomes breakfast?

The man spat and said the eggs are not for this world or from this world they come from the chicken but the chicken knows it not.

He wiped his chin and spat.

Nick "the particles of infinite cracked planets flow through the hyper-reality of my quasi hand' Land

St. Nick

Autismo, Lord of Colorectal Nightmares

He's still a fucking Marxist. Angry counter-neo-neo-hey-guys-no-you-have-to-listen Marxist. Still fucking up the universe as per usual. Baudrillard without the Gallic verve, or the empathy. More amphetamines, less literary flair, and less women. Deleuze without the actual emancipatory spirit of hope. A patron saint of passivity, burnout, anger and dread. A ghoul feasting on the bones of dead revolutionaries.

In short, a man of the time and the philosopher we deserve.

Lee Harvey Oswald

If you tried to kill the president you could die in the attempt, better to go after someone less well protected, but otherwise yes.
