Isn't she rich enough?!

>>9953554
She wants the spotlight

>>9953556
why doesn't she just write short stories or something taking place in the HP universe? Or better yet, publish a collection of fan fictions, have the authors sign a contract saying they won't get any of the money because its just to promote them. People would love that shit

Which books and segments do you mean specifically

>>9953508
Because Pynchon knew about MKULTRA. Ken Kesey was a subject in the program while living in California, and even stole drugs from MKULTRA to use recreationally. Anyone who knew Kesey or was part of the west coast literary community would have known about the program, and there were likely other, less famous leaks.

It's also likely that Pynchon had friends from Cornell who went to work at the CIA. That agency was all Ivy-League back in the day.

So that the modern skeptic community could become the intolerable bunch of twats that they are today.

>>9952829
only if you've already read them

>>9952829
No.

>>9952829
Those are certainly worth a read, but just know that there is tremendously better literature out there, and once you read all these you're not very special at all.

The book of Hedon, by Hedon.

Try libertins from 17th (early ones) and 18th (degenerate ones) centuries in France

WAKKA! Congratulations, your IQ suddenly increased by 15 points! What are you going to do with it now?

>>9952481
get off the internet and step away from the tv.
that should give you a mental boost.

being on any social site is like being at an online party in a sense. and if you're on it too often, regardless of quality or content, you're going to feel fried.

In case you are serious, it's not like grills can't tell a troubled individual that lies with his eyes wide open at night from a fine fellow who is fun to hang around and bang with.

I own one, but singing out loud something I'd be embarrassed about on paper isn't much easier

>>9952178
I've had that suspicion. Something about his demeanor is off-putting. He makes philosophy boring, and he's a fat slob.

>>9952181
So he's like most academics

I'm pretty sure having people pay for tutoring isn't a scam, OP.

Start with the Gospel of Judas. Disregard the rest.

The failure of Gnosticism is that it attempts to explain away the evil and suffering in the world by saying that the true God is completely beneficent, and our world is created by an inferior and malevolent god ... but this again raises the question, why would this true God allow the inferior/malevolent god to exist in the first place?

Better theory I've heard is: evil (in the form of chaos, lack of order) is inherent to the beginning of the universe, and God is only slowly and with toil shaping this inherent chaos of the material universe (or evil) into good, like a point of light which found itself in the midst of an eternal void of darkness and then began to radiate in its midst and subdue it over an eons-long master-plan; but this means thus that God is not completely omnipotent as we would think Him, because He can't just do away with the chaos and evil all at once, He still has to abide by certain rules.

Black with a dash of cream

I don't drink coffee, I just like the smell of it.

I'm ambivalent, really. If I'm in a social setting and some is readily available, I'll partake given it's not too dark, but when it comes down to it I wake up every morning not suffering for its absence.

none actually, now that you mention it. odd.
