Does anybody else picture famous literary characters in a weird way?
For some reason I always thought Hermione from the Harry Potter series was white.

Ok, /lit/, I get it, the Bible is the single most important book of Western civilization. It's not opinion, it's a well-established fact.
With that now out of the way, in which translation should I read the Bible? And no, I'm not accepting the KJV for an answer, because the language is out-dated and it is probably not the most accurate translation to begin with. So, which one to pick; which one does actually render the meaning of the original languages the most accurately in English?
Bonus points: What's the most important book of Eastern civilization? The Analacts, the Tao Te Ching or something else entirely?

The Manuscript Found in Saragossa

I bet it's because your writing is gay as fuck

Judging by the fact that you sent that many emails, they probably read like they were read by a crazy person, because they were.

curly kept Vaseline in his glove because he wanted to be ready to have sex at any moment?
did this make any sense to you guys? why not keep a jar in your pocket? he just walks around all day with Vaseline in his glove?
I thought it was to keep his hand moisturized or something.
>>9032930
"Well, that glove's fulla vaseline."
"Vaseline? What the hell for?"
"Well, I tell ya what- Curley says he's keepin' that hand soft for
his wife."
George studied the cards absorbedly. "That's a dirty thing to tell
around," he said.

How have you facilitated accelerationism lately, /lit/?
>Posted from Tokyo, first time in Japan, which is awesome so far. An open society without being stupid about it would be the NRx fast-summary (sound, but limited). It was vastly easier to get into Japan than the United States.
>Staying in the AirB&B equivalent of a coffin-hotel, but the situation is good (in Ueno).
>Civilization level meets high expectations, and friendliness level exceeds them.
>Much more English signage than expected, and the inherited Chinese characters have preserved their meanings, if not their phonological values, so the urban landscape is surprisingly intelligible.

Is Japan the geopolitical equivalent of Paradise?

Heidegger is an absolute occasionalist and has no theory of time despite “time” being included in the title Being and Time.
time is a mental construct.
take away the clocks, calenders, numbers and dates, and you're merely left with everything as everything is. constantly changing, shifting, arriving and leaving.
the real time is transformation
>>9032714
What has happened to those who, like Heidegger, have tried to find their ways in immediacy, in intuition, in nature, would be too sad to retell—and is well known anyway. What is certain is that those pathmarks off the beaten track led indeed nowhere.

Theres like 3 photos of the cunt and it's when he was a fapping teenager
do you exist? your post is like 90% meme, 10% human thought at best
his face and name are both straight out of the pynchon world
i think thomas pynchon is just a character invented by whoever did actually write those books
This is Pynchon with his then seven year old son Jackson
Why is Kant credited with critical philosophy when Descartes obviously pioneered it?
>>9032679
Define "critical philosophy"
I was reading Spinoza's On the Improvement of the Understand and he pretty much ripped off Descarte's Discourse and Meditations wholesale with more literary flourish. How did he get away with that shit?
Because Descartes is stupid and boring, while Kant is boring but not stupid
