How do you deal with the fact you can never safely say "I am this!" and are constantly moving from ideology to ideology day by day as you are presented with different arguments?

>tfw sam harris baits a trap

Oh man. Please God let this happen. Vox or Molyneux or somebody should tell Cernovich to rein it in. This would be on par with Hitchens/Mos Def. Harris had Peterson shook, I can't even imagine what he would do to Cerno. This would be a bloodbath.

I want this.

>We know that in Shakespeare’s time, women were not allowed to be actresses, but women characters are heavily involved in Romeo and Juliet. Think about the life and roles of Juliet, Lady Capulet, and Nurse. In this essay, you will explore the women characters in this play and ultimately explain what it meant to be a woman in Shakespeare’s play.

pls /lit/ i need help. shakespeare's plays arent sexist at all. the female characters all have individual personalities, there are little to no generalities. how the fuck do i write this essay?

You should argue that the agency of the female characters was present because they were played by male actors.

what exactly do you mean by agency of the female characters?

They are responsible for their own decisions in every sense of that phrase.

Alright gents, Australian culture is fucked. We need to look back.

Who here has any knowledge of Australian literature?

I'll start off. Anyone read Xavier Herbert's "Poor Fellow My Country"?
>Primarily, it is the story of Jeremy Delacy and his illegitimate grandson Prindy in the years leading up to World War II. The novel's subject matter includes Aboriginal affairs and Australian patriotism and Australian nationalism,

Anyone have any recommendations for Australian literature both fiction, history, political theory, philosophy?

It's a very nice idea to include a link to my profile on my résumé to show off how many technical books from my field I've read.

It became more prominent once the SJWs started making people be guilty of things that they didn't have control of, especially their race and gender. White guilt and male guilt are great examples of these.

Does technical writing require any literary talent? Are all STEMfags the true masters of language?
13 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
Yes, it does actually.

Just because you're smart, or you understand science well, doesn't mean you can write.

In fact, MOST smart science types are absolutely horrific at writing. If you tell them to write a brief 10 page outline of how a car works, they'll send you a 50 page document with the first page calling you an idiot for thinking it's possible to briefly describe how a car works, then the other 49 pages will be rambling about how the natural logarithm works with electricity, interspaced with jokes nobody gets about battlestar galactica or something.

I'm not exaggerating by the way.

This is why technical writers exist. They're there to formulate dork's ideas into a coherent, easily understandable form.l

>>9190104
As a succesful STEMfag, I can tell you most actual STEMfags (at least at respectable universities) aren't usually even that into shitty sci-fi. The one who work and/or study in really good STEM departments actually tend to be pretty /lit/ when it comes to their tastes in art.

What's an axiom? Is it like a sonnet?

This. You sound like a pretentious and pompous pseud.

Axioms are the fundamental assumptions serving as the basis of a formal system - not the brief pseudo-philosophical quips of a grumpy, sexually frustrated "redpiller" (i.e. a kekpiller).
