Ye

It's a combination of good genetics and good environmental influence. Genes make you learn fast, environment provides the tools and opportunities to learn. Pretty much all of it is down to luck until we have the technology to make designer babies that are genetically modified to be super humans, cognitively and physically.

>do you think

is the sky blue sounds just as relevant a question. rightfully enjoy ur tastes bud, never defend them, and if you have to, you can't have better odds

>>9403222
And assume your gender or ethnicity?! NEVER!!!

>minorities can never transcend minority class-consciousness
>only intersectional majoritarians are free from the mental fetters of minority-status
>only intersectional majoritarians are thereby capable of objectivity
>only intersectional majoritarians are capable of appreciating literature for its own sake
only white men have good taste in books

Stop limiting literature by using correct syntax.
Stop drunk getting.
Stop caring about what anonymous people on the internet have to say. (that includes me)

Stop ruining a good poet by posting him on /lit/.

God he was hot

Read the Bible. I'm serious, you need help. Do you realize what you're doing?

>>9403077
I have. There is no ritualistic qualities that would directly benefit me. Also, I don't appreciate you looking down on my way of life. I've left everyone I know so that I could learn and practice, and I'm doing just that

burn in hell, heathen.

I'll pray for you but don't expect any miracles

why would an academic, or even a rational adult, take Briggs-Meyer tests seriously.

>announcing your suicide on social media
>commodifying your own death


thats sad.

>>9402911
Why is the test result worse than any other self-descitpion. If he agrees with the collection of traits summarized in the 4 letter word (lol), then why not use the term. If you reject the result, you'd not care about it.

I don't think this is real.

The guys in his 40's/50's and talks like a teen.
the entire document is peppered with gems like "my brother has mad social skills"...... nobody over 18 speaks like that. the author has the mentality of someone who was raised on the internet and spent too much time on /r9k/.
I call fake......might be an elaborate fake, but fake nevertheless.

random burnings, gotta shock the cultural body, keep it guessing so it doesnt plateau

>>9402653
who made that beautiful painting (I guess it's a painting)?

>>9402375
Chomsky ish pure ideology

And by "direct action" you mean urging people to vote democrat?

Both are shit.

>Being a leftist
Why even bother?

Join the agnostic master ace

Ecumenical Congregational Christianity. I dont need the feel good aspects, I just cant deal with being a secret hypocrite or heretic due to my beliefs.

>too redpilled

>for religion

I see you stopped your education halfway

I doubt I've read more than Dante or Aquinas

>>9402284
They didn't have access to a nigh unlimited supply of literature in the way we do.

Even if you don't think it applies to them, it certainly does to the old Greeks. Very few people will have read less than Socrates.

>>9402303
I imagine they read everything they could and I do not do that

>>9402260
None. It is baffling how people believe in a magical man in the sky creating everything.

>>9402260
Cosmological argument isn't bad, but I think it points more to a deist God than a God of religion.

>tfw seeing pictures of clouds immediately makes me think of dfw memes and sam harris
/lit/ ruined me

>>9402100
What does it do?

>>9402137
Its not "what does it do", its what it does.

>>9402100
Isn't that like, a copyright infringement machine?

Tales of the Early Franks by Thierry. The Memoirs of Philippe de Commines. Earthwalk by Slater. Origins by Zerzan. The Agony of the American Left by Lasch. Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God by Grant. I could go on and on...

Is this by the guy who hates Napoleon op? And is royalty. Or is that a similar book.

I guess it's him but I haven't read his one about Napoleon. The Radetzky March is about the decline of an Austro-Hungarian noble family and the Empire in general.

>Anyone else hate novels set in modern times?
Yes, I feel like there is a great chance of falling into the Murakami trap, where modernity feels listless and boring, and the concerns of the protagonists are far less than that of other periods, resulting in a whiny protagonist. even houellebecq falls into this trap.

>most modern novels have no quality or poetry
strongly disagree, you just have to find several vectors of interest and critique when creating a "to-read" list.

welcome to the end of art.

The problem is in your escapistic tendencies and immaturity. You replaced Hogwarts and Tolkien's Arda with the Greek mythology and premodern ages, but beneath the shift in surface style you are still a child that doesn't dare to look at and confront this real modern world and itself as a person within it. You are still stuck in some idealized Neverland.
