You can take what he said in a non marxist way anon

>and, to discover things .... that are more important than your suffering or pleasure."

Communism in a busted nut shell

>>8695491
I don't know what is particularly Markist about what he said. You find a cause that makes the suffering in life worthwhile in the end. It doesn't seem political to me really

>>8695440
>Which one do we exist in? What's unique about ours?
The one where Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, triggering WWI!

>>8695444
Solid answer, especially because the plot came so close to failing. Not to get too /his/ but don't you think the political and cultural climate was set for war even if some other event was the trigger?

Also checked.

>Not to get too /his/ but don't you think the political and cultural climate was set for war even if some other event was the trigger?

Of course it was. That's very clear from not only the actions of the countries involved or their extreme over-eager reactions, but also plain to understand from just the nature of the pre-existing alliances, especially their purpose.

The point is though, we are the timeline where Ferdinand was assassinated, which was the official trigger for WWI. We are also the timeline where Mozart didn't live to be 40. We are the timeline where Zuckerberg owns facebook and the timeline where I just ate some rice.

I do not know of any theory of alternative timelines where any of these events are more significant than others. It's a meaningless question to ask "Which timeline do we exist in?" because the answer is: The one where the events took place, that have taken place so far.

>what is google

postmodernism is not for /lit/ to define, degenerate

>>8695393
Google says it's an architectural movement. What I want to know is the deformed, memed-the-shit-out, specific definition by /lit/

>>8695396
>open Google
>type in "postmodern literature"
>click the first link
and you would get your fucking answer

>Google says it's an architectural movement

I used to write a weekly reflection on the state of my life in verse, but then my life turned in to too much of a mess and I gave up.
Now my diary is purely a rhetorical device desu

>>8695170
yes, we have nothing better to do than waste over limited time on recounting the events of the day. half of my diaries read "and now im writing in my diaries, still writing"

>>8695170
>Do people here actually have diaries?
Yes.

>Do you write in them everyday? or on a whim/eventful days
Whim.

>Should I start one? Do they make you feel good?
IDK.
Yes. I don't talk to people often. Writing things help me to get them out of my system.

My gf has two dobermans she named Sarah and Dolan. Isn't this disrespectful?

Write hard SF, it's autists writing for autists, you'll fit right in

You're defective, kill yourself?

Then write a first person narrative from the perspective of an unempathetic character. Have a disinterested god as the narrator. Surely you've at least observed the effects of emotion from the outside and can understand its effects empirically? I mean I'm in the same boat as you but I got around it by figuring out how people work, and it is both fascinating and would make for an excellent narrative perspective.

get real deep in that classic pomo shit from the late 70s and early 80s man
