You'd probably like a lot of Italo Calvino btw OP

it's an attempt at an explanation of subjective, unsolidifiable experience.

the soul is not a 'thing' outside or inside human beings. Start with the Greeks.

>>8643036
you know what he means.

Yes it's my favourite book I'd recommend it

You won't understand it without reading the Greeks beforehand.

No, you should read The Recognitions instead, it's like The Catcher In The Rye on steroids.

By eating pussy in public.

Like a man riding in a wheelbarrow you have to maintain a balance.

my diary, its full of charming nihilism and a wicked sense of humor

He has said he is the literary equivalent of a big mac and fries so no he doesn't give a shit

>>8642688
His nose bothers me. Look how high it is on his face. Like an orc.

>>8642688
He literally doesn't give a shit, he's perfectly comfortable churning out books regularly to keep himself rich.

You would think a complete collection of Loebs would be glorious and beautiful, but it's actually pretty ugly.

Ask me again tomorrow I'm busy

Ugly color scheme, reminds of of 1980s CGA graphics cards. But complete and relatively cheap. Any idea where to buy part of the series or maybe the whole thing ? 532 volumes should come to around 12000 euros, not really that expensive as a long-term investment.

some basic questions

in a society with no state, how do you build an hydroelectric dam? how do make sure the engineer is qualified? do rapists go to prison? who decides how many years he goes to prison?

if that society with no state and no social classes is impossible, then, communism can only offer us totalitarian dictatorships with no private property and planned economies, like those that existed in eastern europe.
but the hundreds of millions of eastern europeans dont seem to have liked them much.

Nobody cares at this point, man.

It shows his true colors.

I wonder what people who spent hours listening to his records, paid big money to experience him live, and jumped up in the air of pure joy when they heard he won, thinks of his reaction to their appreciation

>Sartre has also been noted for his open relationship with the prominent feminist theorist Simone de Beauvoir. Together, Sartre and de Beauvoir challenged the cultural and social assumptions and expectations of their upbringings, which they considered bourgeois, in both lifestyle and thought.

first of all, compatibalism.

Second of all, Kant.

Third of all, compatibalism, but using Sartre to pretend it aint.

I think the best villains are the ones that the reader has a problem finding fault in, but it's all in the context of the story you're telling it.

Villains also should have some antithesis qualities from the protagonist.

how'd they come up with the design for sauron helmet?

>>8641932
This is a pretty good description, the type of villain should fit well the story/hero. The villain should have traits the viewer can identify with to understand why he's doing whatever it is he does.
