Hi guys! I just finished reading Will to Power and I was wondering where I could find some Dionysian art. I'm looking for painters, composers, bands, books, ect. that capture the Dionysian spirit. Any help would be much appreciated.
"dionysian" and "apollonian" are spooks
it's kinda funny to see teenagers falling for the nieztsche meme
>>9365317
Fuck off you memelord
that's the cutest nietzsche i've ever seen
i too would like to know the answer to your question oh pee
>>9365317
nietzsche is the best possible philosopher for teenagers
I've been on 4chan everyday for a decade now and it feels more of an "addiction" or more plainly a habit that I get pissed at myself on. I hate it. I don't even use the internet for much else. This feeling started back when I was playing games online, usually don't, and I noticed that memes were mostly used by squeakers to kids in high school, then I began to get insecure about my total investment into memes. It's a lack of self control I readily admit to that. I am a NEET shut in or a recovering one and this place is just a crutch for socializing.
Now /lit/ did help but for the first few years I mostly spouted memes about books I haven't read (having read almost nothing) now I've read some few hundred books. When I started reading it was shocking the amount of self-loathing I could soothe with literature and the insight into how to present myself better and even talk without mumbling out half thought words. In a way having a book on me at all times is why I even met my girlfriend. It's not as bad as I am making it but whenever I feel bored, which is often, I'll find myself on here.
It was only ever teenagers who meme spewed elsewhere in the first place.
I'm here for alleviation of loneliness. I have no friends, I'm mentally ill, and I love writing. I come here to read educated people's conversations, then I read for the rest of the day. It's a great relief when loneliness comes along.

>I'm mentally ill
So what have you got?
>he thinks that ironic shitposting is still shitposting
>>9365230
>he thinks my post isn't shit
>CRASH! The cat looked away from the pancakes!
>>9365270
Unholy...I want no more!
my university has an incredible library
what are some rare books i should try to read before i graduate?

Who cares, what's this catboy's dick look like?
>>9365171
I showed you this catboy answer me
Stephen king is always a good read
What philosophical position do you hold?
death to nerds
Also which philosophers are your biggest inspiration for that view?
transcendental idealism + anxiety over unconditioned being + belief in god as a ridiculous, unreachable but nominally guiding concept
What for?
that's a lie.
In High School, I had sent probably close to around 200~ emails to both English and Philosophy professors, and received a reply from about half of them.

>He doesn't have good relationships with professors who would be glad to help him
lmao
Whats your favorites long ass mother-fucking book?
The History of the World. I'm trudging through it now, and learning quite a bit on what shaped the modern world by looking into the past. It's about 1125 pages of facts. Hard to remember, so I have to reread a lot.
>>9365092
Holup holup might as well memorize the Bible at this point.
>>9365100
If I ever finish this history book first.
Can Graphic Novels ever be as deep and meaningful as real books, or are they forever limited due to the focus on imagery?
Does /lit/ have any preferred Graphic Novels?
Pic unrelated
>>9365057
Theoretically, yes. Its just words and pictures. Its going to take a real artistic movement or two to pull out if the capeshit rut that plagues the comics industry, but there are writers and artists that can pull it off. Jean Giraud, Will Eisner, Art Spiegelman, and the like were establishing some great works before the big 2 blew up and damn near shut down the medium. Comics are constantly pushing boundaries these days, but nobody really reads indie or alternative or experimental comics. But that's the real patrician shit. I don't consider comics to be literature but they certainly have a literary component and many display legitimate artistic merit.
As far as newer works, my favorites are
>The Wrenchies - Dalrymple
>New Construction - Alden
>Low - Remender
>Oyasami Pun Pun - Asano
>Tekkonkinkreet - Matsumoto
>A bunch of obscure indie shit by people I don't remember, published by Koyama press, Studygroup Comics, 2D Cloud, etc.
comics could be the new patrician artform if they can escape the Marvel/DC circus
>>9365057
I've always thought so, just that most American comics are capeshit, so people tend to prefer the "legitimacy" of writing prose when they're going to write some shit.
I still really like Asterios Polyp though.
>>9365057
>tfw got away with writing my final essay about this book in 8th grade
Ahahaha funny as fuck. I barely remember anything from that time because I was all fucked up on SSRIs and overly elated but still, it was a humorous exercise in realizing just how much I can get away with.
How do I increase my vocabulary? Do I just look up words I don't know as I run across them while reading? What did you do to get a "more bigger" knowledge of word meanings?
>>9365039
My dad was fucking crazy when I was young and made me read the dictionary. A page a day for years. 6 years. Grade 3-9.
>>9365045
Did you retain anything?
>>9365045
Yeah a lot. It wasnt about writing though. It was for splling bees. Like I said my dad was crazy.
Can /phil/ be created already? Philosophy threads are literally the only good thing on /lit/ or /his/ and since /his/ was created the quality of /lit/ has dropped exponentially. As far as I can see all the creation of /his/ has done has lead to philosophy not being discussed on either board. What the fuck how has this not been dealt with already.
I know you miss the days of stirner and Wittgenstein
Let's build our case and present it on /q/ or whatever the feedback board is called
Ideally, /his/ should be deleted and philosophy should be merged back onto /lit/.
It might also be necessary to create /rel/.
>>9364955
/his/ functions as a containment board for whatever the equivalent of /lit/ on reddit is.
>more boards created problems
>more boards will fix that
mhmm, no
>For some time, the justified true belief (JTB) account was widely agreed to capture the nature of knowledge. However, in 1963, Edmund Gettier published a short but widely influential article which has shaped much subsequent work in epistemology.
>Consider an example. Suppose that the clock on campus (which keeps accurate time and is well maintained) stopped working at 11:56pm last night, and has yet to be repaired. On my way to my noon class, exactly twelve hours later, I glance at the clock and form the belief that the time is 11:56. My belief is true, of course, since the time is indeed 11:56. And my belief is justified, as I have no reason to doubt that the clock is working, and I cannot be blamed for basing beliefs about the time on what the clock says. Nonetheless, it seems evident that I do not know that the time is 11:56. After all, if I had walked past the clock a bit earlier or a bit later, I would have ended up with a false belief rather than a true one.
>>9364917
im simply redpilled
>>9364917
>published in a mexican journal
My secondary major at UMass Amherst was philosophy. My philosophy professors would occasionally mention Gettier and they hold him in relatively high esteem. I could never figure out if it was because he's brilliant or because they're jealous. Probably both.
>ginsberg
>kerouac
>burroughs
what was the most artistic and creative counter-culture and why was it the beats?
Also why has no other subsequent counter-culture produced anything on par with them?
>>9364889
They suck tho
>read the shit beats
speedfreak pls go
>>9364889
The Beats were one of the most establishment cultures in all of contemporary literary history. Every person you mentioned in your post was a member of one of the most elite social institutions on the planet (Columbia University), every person in your post had the vociferous backing of academia and establishment tastemakers like The New York Times, every person in your post subscribed to a Judeo-Christian morality despite a superficial contrarianism, and every person in your post held progressive political beliefs.
The fact that they were also pedophiles with crabs, drug problems and a predilection for lusty Negro rhythms makes them part of mainstream culture, not against it.
Do you like to drink when you're reading serious literature, or do you feel like you take too much of a cognitive hit by doing so?
I think mild/moderate drinking can be useful in making the mind a bit more limber and allowing for easier connections to be made between disparate ideas/topics, but beyond that, things just get incoherent.
The minute I crack open any sort of alcohol, I'm shitposting and not reading.
>>9364859
>drinking anything other than water or coffee while reading
>>9364870
>forgetting tea
Daily reminder that if you haven't read W. G. Sebald then you're a literary fraud.
>>9364813
fat ugly shit. looks like some sort of fat faggot
>>9364819
It hurts to realize you have not discovered anything of true intellect in your readings.
It's ok, anon. I'm rooting for your enlightenment.
>>9364823
I'm redpilled fucking cuck.
Take your fat disgusting degenerate and fuck off, celebworshipping bluepilled normie drone
>Sebald was shown images of the Holocaust while at school in Oberstdorf and recalled that no one knew how to explain what they had just seen. The Holocaust and post-war Germany loom large in his work.
wow so he's like that? haha, enjoy being destroyed in your brain from liberalism and disgusting globalist hegelian dialectic
