ye sure np son

You should make this thread a DFW general

It's an obfuscation of undergraduate automata theory with some cool references posing as a theory of consciousness.

Got this the other day for five bucks. Bump for more opinions.

Did he predict /pol/?

So /lit/,

How much truth is there in solipsism? Everybody seems to reject it out of hand, but to me it always seems like one of those "natural and unavoidable" illusions of reason, of which Kant was so fond.

Read the Old Testament first, then just read Matthew to Revelation as you find it.

>>9024061
Thanks. Already read most of the Old Testament, but what parts of it are the relevant ones to the NT? Which ones sould I review/make sure I read?

>>9024078
>Already read most of the Old Testament,
Then finish it.

>what parts of it are the relevant ones to the NT?
The NT references the OT all over the place, cataloguing all inter-testamental cross-references is something that kept Biblical scholars very busy.

It's mostly the Pentateuch and the Prophets, but also Psalms, Historical books, etc. get their share. You'll know them when you see them.

read more, who gives a fuck what his face looks like

>>9024022
This figure, that thou here seest put,
It was for gentle Pynchon cut,
Wherein the graver had a strife
With nature, to out-do the life:
O, could he have but drawn his wit 5
As well in brass, as he has hit
His face; the print would then surpass
All that was ever writ in brass:
But since he cannot, reader, look
Not on his picture, but his book.

>>9024022
Wow nice argument fagtriño I read all (ok, most) of his books and meant to dedicate this thread to my astonishment that he was only 16 in that one. Without evaluating his appearance in any negative way. Perhaps you're just projecting your mean-spirited judgement, buried somewhere deep below all those ablaze verbal guns?

I would. Don't feel bad. I have a mick name and I'm highly considering changing it, at least for publishing

if you're a pajeet, chances are you're talentless anyway

Literary taste is neither "objective" nor frivolous like a favourite colour. It's an extension of one's values.

Trying to convince a shit tasted person that their opinions are not in fact good but shitty and dumb is usually an exercise in futility

>>9023968

Personal enjoyment and emotional resonance is subjective and arguing about that can get you nowhere.

Whether something has important historical value or has a masterful use of literary techniques can definitely be argued based on evidence and reasoning.

Did you shit on my head? Asked the little mole to the dove who was just flying by.

Yes, it's the best history of philosophy series in English.

>German

Even Nietzsche says he'd have rather written in French.

Disgusting language desu.

A japanese hosso monk and zen master was teaching a class on Lao Ze, known riddler

”Before the class begins, you must adopt a meditation stance and reverence Lao Ze and accept that he was the most enlightened being the world has ever known, even greater than Heraclitus!”

At this moment, a brave, phenomenologist, continental German philosopher who had published over 1500 papers on hermeneutics and understood the necessity of an ontological characterization of human beings and fully supported all deconstruction of metaphysical thinking stood up and held up a rock.

”Does this rock have buddha nature?”

The arrogant professor smirked and smugly replied “mu, you stupid Westerner”

”Wrong. An existential analysis of the rock reveals that it has no language and therefore it is not opened to the disclosure of Being. If it was neither Dasein or not Dasein and its ontological nature, as you say, was indeterminate… then its rock-Being should be a concern to it!”

The monk was visibly shaken, and dropped his bonsai and copy of Tao te Ching. He stormed out of the room reciting those obsolete buddhist sutras. The same sutras buddhists recite for the “souls of the deceased” when they jealously try to devalue responsibility over their finitude from the deserving authentic Daseins. There is no doubt that at this point our monk, Gautama Bodhidarma, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than an inauthentic onto theological thinker. He wished so much that he had a non metaphysical characterization of truth to reconstruct his ontology over a groundless ground, but he himself had petitioned against it!

The students applauded and all registered with the university of Freiburg that day and accepted Nietzsche as the last and greatest western crypto metaphysician. An eagle named “Ereigenis” flew into the room and perched atop an ancient oak and shed a tear on the now standing reserve of timber. The Ister was read several times, and Being itself showed up and spread existential angst across the country.

The monk lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the technocratic plague nihilism and was tossed into the impossibility of possibilities for eternity.

Ex nihilo omnia
p.s. It rests by changing.

>>9023787
Nope, you're fucked. Start with the Greeks. Presocratics to be exact. Marty fuxd with Parmenides.

Drop the course.

>>9023800
And based Heraclitus.
