Systems are stupid. You're just waiting for someone to dismantle it and make their own, only to repeat the cycle.

There is no real point in reading if you don't possess photographic memory.

Placing a book on your shelf, cracking the spine and convincing yourself that you read it about two years ago is the same as actually sitting down and reading through it.

Season of Migration to the North
The Corpse Exhibition

I have had a hard time finding good arab fiction myself, but have hopes that the trauma of 2001-2016 and on and the refugee crisis will result in at least one great brutal novel of war and suffering.

Seconding Season of Migration to the North. Just finished it. Very excellent. Good companion read for Black Skin, White Masks if you're even remotely into theory. I'm generally not but reading the two of them was a really excellent aesthetic experience.

Well, Berkeley outright denied that there are material substances, and Kant affirmed material substances. There is one difference.

The difference is Berkeley was right.
