the concept of 'the human' stopped being relevant around 50 years ago. since then, all consciousness has only ever been oscillating between two states: 'horny' and 'searching for the relevant jpeg'.
Someone abused me and told me to start up a philosophy general thread.
If you can answer these questions, you are good at philosophy:
>Name one thing Plato was wrong about
>Name one thing Aristotle was wrong about
>Name one thing Thomas Aquinas was wrong about
>Name one thing Martin Luther was wrong about
>Name one thing Descartes was wrong about
>Name one thing John Locke was wrong about
>Name one thing David Hume was wrong about
>Name one thing Immanuel Kant was wrong about
>Name one thing G.W.F. Hegel was wrong about
>Name one thing Soren Kierkegaard was wrong about
>Name one thing Karl Marx was wrong about
>Name one thing Friedrich Nietzsche was wrong about
>Name one thing Bertrand Russell was wrong about
>Name one thing Ludwig Wittgenstein was wrong about
>Name one thing Martin Heidegger was wrong about
>Name one thing Jean-Paul Sartre was wrong about
>Name one thing Albert Camus was wrong about
>Name one thing Jacques Derrida was wrong about
>Name one thing Noam Chomsky was wrong about
>Name one thing Slavoj Žižek was wrong about
Holy shit this is a bad thread

I want to write beautifully. What books should one read to improve the quality of his prose?
>>8962879
stuff written in the 19th century. just read it all. also, subvocalize constantly, ensure you hear the voice of the author. do that forever, isolating yourself from other stimuli, then put pen to paper and release the torrent. you may be surprised. unfortunately it may be short lived, however, if you were to devote years to this habit, perhaps you could maintain it.
>>8962879
no one will ever want to read your stuff except for other lonely and uncritical /lit/izens, but best of luck to you. why not produce some 18th century style water colours while your at it, or a couple of mesopotamian lyre songs, they will surely be relevant to 21st century aesthetic consciousness.

How will literature and art in general continue to be relevant in the world we are heading to with virtual reality?
This video got me thinking: https://vimeo.com/166807261

'being relevant' is antithetical to being literature, read blanchot's the space of literature
>>8962753
>>continue to be relevant
>implying it's relevant now
>>8962753
When we are also heading to idiocracy, the more irrelevant reading becomes, the more important it becomes that you partake.
anyone here read wittgenstein's mistress? is it as good as people say?
I got like 2/3rds through it, stopped due to impatience.
It's super easy to read, like a bunch of tweets. Not much happens however, far as I can tell. Cool book though.
>>8962677
I WAS Wittgenstein's mistress, and if you're referring to his dick, it was, indeed, as good as people (your mom) say.
