What happened to the ban-happy mod who banned all bait and politics threads?

Need him back desu

>>9433002
I think Hiro has decided to double down on 4chan's "free speech" reputation and encourages jannies to be much more liberal with what threads they allow.

Yes, I agree fellow anons! We need more moderation on this board! It's literally impossible for us to stop ourselves from replying to bait, so we must rely on the mods to save us from our own destructive behavior!

Psychological Determinism seems more likely. Hard determinism has already been disproven though.

TL;DR determinism destroys logic. Don't try to espouse the former and then make use of the latter.

From another site:
>It is wrong to deduce determinism from logic, because logic is a branch of deductive reasoning, and "deduction tells you what follows from your premises, but does not tell you whether your premises are true."*

>Determinism is a scientific conclusion. It is based on such empirical observations as opium will have certain effects on behaviour, and "constitution" is hard to say when one is drunk. All scientific conclusions are tentative, subject to revision based on new evidence.

>Edit: There is no such thing as logical law; there are only premises.

What is psychological determinism

Just read Lenny Bruce and watch "Pump up the Volume". If you can't write comedy after studying those then you don't have the talent in you.

>>9432940
b-but Lenny is jewish

>>9432924
Going to college for comedy writing is a pretty funny idea.

Aristotelian excellence
Stirnerist spookiness
Marxist ideology
Christian virtue
Buddhist annihilation of ego
Stoic stoicism ;-)
Hedonist pursuit of pleasure
psychoanalytic ethics of desire
Socratic self-knowledge
Nietzschean Will to power/struggle
Heideggerian being-towards-death
Kierkegaaridan leap

in short, I don't fucking know. Putting my face betwixt the butt cheeks of a hot grill maybe

Romantic poetry convinced me to analyze, dissect and cultivate my emotional spectrum

Actually, it has only convinced me that life is nothing but misery.

>>9432728
only god's law counts, try a redpill cUck

>>9432735

Hey thanks for the bump man.

Anyone have any good law fiction/nonficiton? I already know all the historic cases, and I believe the law scene now is very much different with many different iterations of precedence. I'm just looking for a book to expand on that.

>>9432728

Well there's not a whole lot of law nonfiction that you probably haven't already heard of if you're interested in the topic.

Fiction, if you aren't interested in it, is pretty much what law as a genre has to offer. Otherwise you're just reading the proceedings of a case that actually happened.

How could anyone take a picture like that today without looking like a massive inauthentic posing retarded fedora?

>>9432547

>>9432544
>Why dont they let soldiers take these badass style photos anymore?

What are you talking about? Are you claiming that a picture of someone actually kitted out for combat isn't badass? Because there are plenty of those pictures.

>>9432361
Kys faggot

Proust isn't Romantic...

>>9432361
Proust is a modernist.
Anyways, ISoLT is what you go to after other stuff, not vice versa. it's seven volumes of God-tier literature.
If you like Proust try Woolf(Dalloway, Lighthouse, Waves, Orlando) as well as Joyce(Dubliners, Portrait, Ulysses)

>>9432317
I have "The Complete Poetry and Prose of William Blake" edited by Erdman, and I quite like it. As for the best? I really can't say, but this does the job for me.

>>9432317
