/lit/, I need your help. My idiot dog ripped up two books I left on my desk while I was at work, one of which I wasn't finished reading yet.
What's a proper punishment for this behavior? I need him to learn that this is NOT okay.

I can only assume your guess is correct.
But you should do what suits you. Then, of all the good ideas you have, take the one with the highest chance of success.
>>
But WHAT are you trying to write about, OP. Black people are, in this case, as much as a receptacle fro ideas on history and culture as white people, in other case, would be.
What's the meat of your story, what's your style? And by the way, if publishers aren't throughly racialized and you're halfway decent I don't see why you shouldn't have a chance.

What is /lit/'s opinion on the writings of popular scientists like Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins?

I should have added that when I see people discuss them online they are invariably the types of mouth breathers who say things like "well, I appreciate brave intellectuals like Krauss because he uses logic and scientific reason in his arguments", and so I hope for somewhat better quality discussion here.

Good scientists, poor philosophers.

Powering intellectual. Rational and logical to the extreme. Unparalleld.

“Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs...thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.” ―Arthur Schopenhauer
Does anyone know where this quote is originally from? Couldn't google out the source. Thank you

Being authentic is much better it will lead to a happier life you may not be able to articulate it to people but integrity leaves a person with a better opinion of themselves as they are not living off the opinions of other in the first place.
Fakers are at the whim of the people they lie to, it will haunt them and cause stress in their life. It only takes a single person to expose them and it's all over, once more they know it.

Where do you get your inspiration from? Do you spend your days arguing online over tomatoes until you have to vent it out, do you go stargazing and let the eternity take over, is it the warmth of a blanket that demands praise or the noise of a street that stuns you?
Me? I need quite a few things. Sleep deprivation is a must- no words will come from my pen or keyboard if I have slept well.
I need something odd and peculiar to stop me from going in rounds.

I guess you can lose your mind in traps of all sorts. Cuck porn, though? What for? Tragedy or comedy?

What are some essential books on why I -- as a friendless, prospectless, lonely virgin loser -- am nevertheless inherently superior to most of the world?
I've already read Schopenhauer's 'On Women' and The Bell Curve which helped a bit.

No Longer Human by Dazai and Jude the Obscure are the obvious patrician answers.
