Sugar addiction is a horrible, debilitating drug. It is difficult to give up our drugs of choice. Some people cannot even admit they have a problem. And if we can't admit our problems, we can't mature past them: for even for everyone's sake.

Why do you idiots keep making this same thread again and again?

>>9094371
Because you idiots won't give an authoritative answer to end all the naysayers.

my teacher said that Coetzee is the master-level english stylist.
America? Didn't say hehe

Yes. Yes it is.

>What is true is the less spectacular "There is no causal nexus in logic to justify such an inference", as Hume also argued (and Leibniz, and Autrecourt, and Ockham).

>Whether "There is no causal nexus in reality to justify such an inference" is another problem, and it is simply false that the former entails the latter, since there is more to reality than logic alone.

>And it should also be remarked here that any empirical testing of propositions involves an assumption that what the propositions mean is in some sense invariant, and holds in the future when and where the propositions are tested by their empirical consequences, for only in that case are such verifications or falsifications as one finds relevant to the probability or credibility of the propositions from which they logically follow.

Yes. Bravo. You've found the reference.

Awful self-doubt, anxiety and pain from the ulcers that would eventually kill.

Sounds like me, desu. Except for me it's the colon. He even looks a tiny bit like my father.

I quit 2/3rds into I Am a Cat because it was boring and the translation sucked. Should I bother reading more Soseki or is that it?

I need to take a look at that thread, but after reading a profile on Bannon, all l can say is he's a very interesting person to say the least, regardless of your views on the Trump administration.

Here's a link if anyone else wants to read it: https://qz.com/898134/what-steve-bannon-really-wants/

People who buy reclam are the scum of the earth. "Yes it's a yellowish, extremely cheap paperback and falls apart after a week of reading but it's cheap xDD" Disgusting.

>>9099700
Price matters you cunt.
And it's yellow
It's unusual.
Bu at least it's comfortable to hold.

No. He just uses /lit/ to drain money out of really insecure upper & upper middle class people with no real problems. He is a glorified self help Guru.

define 'truly great thinker'

>>9097271

all fields have reached their own particular levels of specialization that it would be absurd to think that anyone can make meaningful contributions to more than one. descartes, while impressive himself, thought that gravity operated like a vortex. thats just where they were at the times.

No reason that Bleeding Edge and Cannonball should be there. Taipei is a must, though.

I don't know.

Look into 'new wave' sci-fi. Ballard, Dick, leGuin, Moorcock are all varying deveees of literary.

Also I think William Gibson is a great stylist.

Blindsight, friend.

>One of my high school english teachers despised Hemingway and termed him a 'misogynist.
Well who would have thought that a man born and grew up before the feminist would have traditional views on gender roles? How ridiculous!

Your teacher is an idiot.

>>9096613
Yeah, but I don't understand how this book displays "traditional views on gender roles." When I think of traditional gender roles, I think of Men who act and women who react. But the book robs males of all agency, the narrative is controlled by a single women

>>9096650
I agree. If one hates a book because you think its "sexist" then they really shouldn't be teaching children with that ignorant and simple mindset.
