saw pic related on reddit, don't enlarge it at first. When you do, play around with defocusing your eyes and moving it further and closer to you.

Any good stories where AI is just placid and creative. Kind of like the Technocore in Hyperion, if they weren't actually evil

Learn to laugh about it. Step back when ever you feel anxious and you'll see how silly it all is. That's not to say you can't find meaning, but that the journey to that meaning nowadays can take wacky turns.

Did he ever say that there are no moral interpretations of not facts?

NEETzsche's entire output is booktuber-tier in all aspects.

For someone who had a genral grasp on Joyce (because of /lit/) and read Portrait, i would say that a intense, creative and almost exoteric levels of obscurantism. The prose, ideas and themes of everything in the book, including the book itself, are trying to convey something. Joyce tried to be a new age, modern version of a encapsulator of a language (like Camões, Shakespeare, Goethe). In that his goals were to create meaning and generate a new reality that convey with his ideas - a more optimistic and creative view of reality.

You will absolutely never make it through.
When you fail don't post here about t being a bad book.

It's not that bad content wise. But form wise, it starts strong but the lack of variance forces this into more of a droning list than a poetic thought. Maybe try varying the rhythm after the first few lines to liven the piece up, and give it some character. Right now it feels flat.

>Rhythms of Fire

Drumsticks matched with matchsticks
drum erupting snares of embers.
Alternating and pulsating
orbs of rhythmic fires
conjure bursting storms of sparks
becoming twisters dancing spirals.

Summon me my will to be,
You frantic beating meter!
Tell me now, Hephaestus, how
Dionysus helps me neither!
This blazing pounding scares me not
of burning bloody ether.
Chaos born was Eros,
Surely so could we together.

Twisting body-coals ablaze
my thoughts can see no other.
Exhausted, forging hammers stay
and fires start to smother.
Cooling off, though not all froze
My mind returns to me.
I strike a match and light a bone
as ash falls to glowing screen.
