So any thoughts on the poem or what?

>>9103764
Did a 12 hour long full performance reading of this at uni. Staarted at 6am as the sun rises in the book, ended at 6pm as the sun sets in the book. Changed locations and read-aloud too

>Oh, but there is your face. I catch your eye. I, who had been thinking myself so vast, a temple, a church, a whole universe, unconfined and capable of being everywhere on the verge of things and here too, am now nothing but what you see—an elderly man, rather heavy, grey above the ears, who (I see myself in the glass) leans one elbow on the table, and holds in his left hand a glass of old brandy. That is the blow you have dealt me. I have walked bang into the pillar-box. I reel from side to side. I put my hands on my head. My hat is off—I have dropped my stick. I have made an awful ass of myself and am justly laughed at by any passer-by.

"Hey, what do you guys think of Ulysses?" --- OP

"it's shit, total meme book lol" --- Hasn't read book, ironic

"it's shit lol, you got memed by the literary establishment" --- Has read book, is actually serious underneath the ironic surface text, post-irony

Simply put, it's using irony to express a serious thought in a 'direct' way, as opposed to a contrasting one (traditional irony).

Anyone who says he's not a good writer is either:

1) A pseud faggot who has no friends
2) Retarded because no MUH GUN FIGHTS

He's good... goddammit, you fucking bitch-ass mafuckas.

Oh yes OP Dosto is indeed a meme author hehe

1. Literature helps me to detach myself from my worries.
2. Literature helps me to appreciate the little things. Reading two pages on how beautiful the sky can be inspires me to actually notice the sky sometimes during the day, for example.

I don't know about 'learned,' per se, but certainly familiarized myself with some events, emotions, people, etc. Don Quixote's fantasies, Iago's revenge, Hamlet's ambition, The Garden of Eden, Humbert Humbert's obsession over the ever-fleeting Other, Stephen's spiritual journey, and so on. It's wisdom.

That's why Joyce called it the 'most spiritual of all the arts." But even if there wasn't wisdom, beauty is still a supreme Good in the world. What has anyone learned from Bach?

If we want to include non-fiction too, then philosophy has changed my life, yeah.

literature has got me laid more than a few times

also access to the sublime, functional ethical training, enjoyment/amusement

>Elliot Rodger

That loser had a manifesto? Is it just rambling /r9k/ nonsense about muh sluts and muh degeneracy?

>>9102626
Yes.

It's an incredibly overrated book. But yeah, the title is bad too; or at least the title is bad nowadays. Not sure how long the word "stoner" has meant what it does now.

>>9101127
>can't bother even to read the title with her own eyes
>assumes immediately after it is spoken that it is a word rather than a name

Sounds like you dodged a bullet on that occasion.

Also, "intellectualism" is another word for "priestly," stop using this

>>9101137

History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides

This probably covers most of it, but if you need more up to date stuff, just go with this too.
Diplomacy by Henry Kissinger

How to Win an Election
How to Run a Country

Both by Cicero.

The Statesman by Plato.

From what I understand, its purpose is to destroy the race through the mass proliferation of cuckold pornography.

Just read Bostrom's paper on the 'simulation hypothesis'. Thought-provoking stuff.
Is this any good?

lol marxism is stupid it's not correct because of pseduoscientific it has proved wrong see how the west is falling and were not in communism yet, also notice that mao and pot killed 9 billion people together with stalin, equality simply isnt true theres a differnet between women and men and between whites and blacks that only the redpill can articulate in a coherent and sensible way, there is simply nothing called class, we must interpret everything through the lens of identity politics, especially white identitarian one

Frustrated with how stupid 4chan is.

>>9095421
It's not relevant. If it were there would be no need to peddle it under the guise of special snowflakeisms like queer """"""theory""""". Total Accelerationism is the wave of the future.
