When I was approximately fifteen I had a job interview at a small, independent firm as an apprentice. It was my first job interview, I was nervous obviously, and the guy interviewing me was a writer for their weekly publication, or whatever. Anyway, he asks me if I read and what I'm reading and for whatever reason, my mind went blank and the only book I could think of was this one. He said, "Isn't that that garbage gangster crap with the rules and the author, wrote for 50 cent or whatever?", and I mumbled some shit and tried to get the fucking rejection over with cos' I knew I blew it right then and there. I'm pretty sure sweat must have been running down my forehead, haha.
So yeah, I only fucking mentioned this book and it cost me a fucking job...

is it possible to reroute fetishes? Like instead of fetishising incest and cuckoldry, you train your brain into fetishing socialising with girls, writing stories and working out? Could you rewire your brain to get pleasure from that? Through hypnosis maybe? Or just want whenever you write 250 words,and when you ask out a girl?
Did Nietzsche ever talking about this?

How is this? From what I understand it has a much different approach to 'feminism' than what we often see.

Books/material to crawl out of crippling depression?
No job, no girl, no real passion to pursue anything.
Apparently reading might be my one saving grace to turn my life around at the ripe age of 35.

Do people actually believe that people who post shit like that aren't being ironic? Like are there people on this board that are so stupid that they see what is an obvious overexaggeration of /pol/ and go "damnit /pol/ go back" and not "lel nice meme"? You have to be truly stupid to not see that the posts like that one and all the others that are going over the top with the /pol/slang are joking and being ironic.

If tou want to approach Heidegger that way, pretty much the entire history of philosophy, with super special emphasis on the greeks, Kant, Husserl, Nietzsche, and Hegel. But if you just want to read Heideger because his books have great titles just jump in. The YT channel philosophical overdose has some great videos on Heidegger, as well as most other philosophers too though.

>>8976878
Read some Descartes, he's like Marty but only a light version of him and a good introduction to the super advanced concepts he brings up later.
What else besides Being and Time by Heidegger is worth reading by him?

Why don't we have a thread comparing and discussing the prosodic features of our native language? I'm mostly thinking of prosodic features of the traditional poetry (including, not only meter, but also things like rhyme, alliteration, or pitch cadence as in Classical Chinese poetry), but information about the modernist innovations would be cool too. I'm not sure if this should go on /lit/ or /int/, but it seems like there are enough people with a language other than English as their mother tongue for this to work. Discussion of classical languages is also more than welcome.
For my part, as a student of Spanish, I know that the traditional prosody is more or less like that of French--i.e., neither stress nor syllable length (which is of course nonexistent anyways) are taken into account, and the only metrical restraints are syllable count and caesurae. I also know that by far the most common Spanish meter is el octavosÃlabo, just as the most "natural" meter in English is blank verse.
That said, I know that many modernists and proto-modernists imported classical meters (dactylic hexameter, iambic trimeter, etc.), using the stress accent of Spanish. Perhaps the most notable of these (correct me if you disagree) is Rubén DarÃo, whom I think I like, although I've only read a handful of poems of his since I have to look up a word every other line. That said, my question is, which of these "classical" meters has been the most successful in Spanish, and which is the most "natural"? Is there any particular stress pattern that you think is most natural in Spanish, as iambic is in English?

By the way, if any ESL learners have any questions about the finer points of English prosody (impoverished as it is), feel free to ask.

Do men have a sort of inverse "mansplaining" culture unto themselves, that explains the low level of intellectual discourse on this board? Wherein, due to being brainwashed into thinking that being male gives oneself intellectual ability, a lackadaisical culture forms based around the fact that the concept of "learning" and "gaining ability" are reject out in totality in lieu of extreme egoism?
Do you think that through "forcible" immersion of women into /lit/ and the introduction of a heteronormative structure would enable male humility and thus the greater expansion of critical and intellectual thought?

Post-modernism is accepted to have started as a reaction to modernism, which profoundly marked the 20th century world.
But when exactly did post-modernism end? Or has it not ended yet? And if it has ended, what era after post-modernism are we living in now?
Other than authors who say post-modernism is this or that and make no meaningful critique but just put negative labels, can you please recommend me some philosophical works that thoroughly refuted the entire logical construct behind post-modernism? If there are any of course.
Pic slightly related.

We looped back after hitting modernism again and now we are in nu-post-modernism. In a few years we will become aware of the cycle and our culture will arbitrarily pick a set of values to adopt and enforce. This will be post-sincerity.
