I read one of his books and thought it was just meaningless words. But he seems respected, so guess I'm wrong.
Time will tell, if textbooks mention him in the future, I suppose I was wrong.

Memetics is not thought highly of in anthropology and linguistics, but who knows maybe they are wrong and memes will be useful. I doubt it.

Anon, I won't say anything about Dennett but...

>Time will tell, if textbooks mention him in the future

This kind of thinking is shit. Time doesn't tell anything. If jews run the world today, nazis are evil. If neo-nazi got into power, the jews will seem to be forever evil. If science take a turn towards this or that, the textbooks that we will read will be completely different. The future doesn't know better than what we have today. Each given time chooses its own precendents, its own influencers. Today, christianity is on the low and science is on the top, so we look at the middle ages as some dark age of painful plagues, superstition and shit. Except anyone into history knows there is plenty of color and interesting thoughts to that time. If the roles reverse, I don't know, 200 years from now, you'll see the atheist forces of enlightenment age as a huge mistake that hindered our christianity. HIstory is rewritten everytime it is remembered. Bach whad to be rediscovered by Mendelhson, Renaissance rediscovered Greek thought, etc. Don't leave for the future to tell if you are wrong or not. Perhaps in 50 years Dennett will be considered a fantastic hugely influential philosopher and in 100 he can be totally forgotten. Then someone might "misread" him as some wise guru of centuries ago.

Time doesn't tell shit.

Is this a people whose deaths you will celebrate thread?

The KJV is a holy translation. If it says "kill," God meant "kill."

I don't think there was much of a reason. Just a mistake they made.

this is full of sun and happiness

you should enjoy it, unless you're a self-cutting goth kid

>>9169686
check out throbbing gristle may see the cut up on a different perespective

Considering he gives the cutup method aesthetic and philosophical significance in the trilogy, I think it's completely justified

>>9169686
I have to agree
Burroughs was trying too hard and it ruined a few books

This thread again? It is as if you are complaining about complaints

Is Meursault really pragmatic? People are always talking about the book here but i would never guess so. I will give it a try.

Odysseus?
that's like the founding of literature is the acknowledgment of sense as a virtue

Don Quixote just transcended it and changed the zeitgeist

I dreamed of smashing up the head of a person like a pumpkin last night

'of' and 'that' can be of religious power when used well.

Switch to a less pleb language.

>getting this mad about somebody getting mad about a calendar

They wrote a blueprint back in the early 1600s called "The New Atlantis". It might be a bit outdated but it's probably worth checking out to see their early plans.

A more modern book would be "The Open Conspiracy" by H. G. Wells.

They do explain it, and you can even find it in print. They just don't talk it about it much openly because they sincerely & unironically believe that they are Nietzschean Ubermenschen and we pleb Untermenschen wouldn't understand.

Too bad God already passed judgement on them thousands of years ago (see: Psalm 2).

We're redpilled here, cuck. If you think Hitler was wrong then you're simply brainwashed.

Start with Luther's 'On Jews and their Lies', then 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion' and finally McDonald's Culture of Critique Series.
If someone tries to slam you for being an 'anti-Semite' think for yourself: "why can't I be one? Hmm. Maybe they WANT me to not think so"

Godspeed, white brother

Simon Schama (SS) has written a book on the history of the Jews especially for goyim like you, OP.

Is getting an e-reader not an option?

E-ink is seriously underrated by people who have never seen it irl. It's closer to a real page than it is to a screen.

Try Yandex Browser. It supports fb2 and epub. For me it's ok. It's not a joke and not an adv.

>>9168689
I need books that are a bit more recent than that, published in 2016 or 2017, danke

Weird question, sort of on topic, can anyone recommend easy, simple to read German literature for a person learning German? I'm around A2, I've tried die Verwandlung but it's still a bit above my level of comprehension.

It could be from a film or anything tbf

Star Wars
