It hadn'tnd'd

I'm far less convinced of any of my beliefs and am often paralyzed by the thought that life is truly absurd.

Nothing is valueable, everything is just believe, politicis is in truth Post-Politics. One shoud just sit there and watch Star Wars, hope that one time the ideology of neoliberalism and duty of work stops thus you get free money and can watch Star Wars 24/7.

U mean 'finally'? The beauty of 4chun is that it leeches all meinung from such words, correct? No need to kys, therefore. Life's just too exciting. Youll be calling yourself 'fucktard' tomorrow.

Why are there so many John Green posts on /lit/?

I just eat my money or set it on fire, it's much less of a waste that way.

It's a fine press that makes great bindings. What the fuck do you expect to hear that would warrant a whole thread?

It's Nausea summed up in 2500 pixels, amazing.

It's either simply social anxiety or a hyperbolic joke at this "meme".
Kinda like
>when the author uses an adverb
and they post the frogfaggot face

>when the author uses a word

I would recommend the Oxford Guide to Writing by Thomas S. Kane. Discusses elements of good writing, goes into nuances, and provides famous examples that illustrate these qualities.

zeus, plato didnt believe in divine family feuds so he only cared about the boss of olymp

>>9388436
So it is just a translation of Zeus to God?

It's complicated

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotheism#Classical_Greece

The metaphysical idea of monotheism, or of an originating metaphysical God that would either make the polytheistic mythological gods merely allegorical or at least into lesser entities, was common enough that Plato could speak about it pretty casually.

Plato was preceded by a few generations of people talking quite a lot about metaphysical issues like these, though not nearly as refinedly as Plato did. The Neo-Pythagoreans were influential on Plato and spoke of "God."

Sort of but not really.

Not an argument

Checked. And yes it's true now lower your fucking voice.


[whispering] As with any federal department in the US, the right qualifications and a form will make money appear. Artists with artist credentials (eg, in MFA) are eligible to receive government subsidies so they can produce art. It does not cost much and is a way of making sure art does not die in a capitalist system.

>>9388311

It's not that simple though. Most MFA students on a "full ride" are going to be doing TA work. So the school is basically waiving tuition and giving you a stipend to be an adjunct.

>>9388311
The same way it justifies its own existence: griping about the necessity for cultural standard-bearers.

If you think artists need or want compensation for their art you are a literal philistine

The Invisible Man by Ellison

Do you guys actually enjoy audiobooks? How do you stop to analyze a paragraph? Do you get the same benefit from listening?

>>9388291
You just skip backwards and pause.
I can't read because of an eye problem, and I have no issue listening to dense books.
It's all about effort, like with anything.

junger is an ever bigger meme than stirner

Memes aside, is that a good book?

>>9389176
It's real weird, more philosophy than a book.

>>9388229
i know this is bait but kill yourself. a thread had to die for your unfunny ''joke''. end thyself. OR ELSE.

Yeah, in the 3rd Edition, they hired Matt Ward to consolidate the lore and he revealed that the Necrons did it with some kind of techno-plague they stole from the Old Ones. The Gray Knights got involved and fixed it, and now apparently two lost Primarchs are coming back.

>>9388229
No it wasn't, but that wasn't the point so it didn't really matter.
