Sure I'll go.

Identity politics is hot garbage.

many of the more famous works of art by female abstract expressionists is in Denver right now, where they're having a show exclusively dedicated to them. stupid to get irritated by that, though, because it's widely believed by art history scholars of all gender identities that the female abstract expressionists works were less substantial and more derivative than their male counterparts.

>Will you London litizens go to the royal academy to enjoy this?
Were there even any good female abstract expressionists?

What a retarded complaint. Also Pollock is based.

Nah, don't touch that thing. I'm afraid someone will come crack it and I'll fall through the floor and on to a cranky tenants bed.

All the time. I've got one of these:

>https://www.amazon.com/JOTO-Waterproof-Samsung-Windows-Motorola/dp/B00LBK7OSY/

and read on my phone. Whenever I use a bath bomb I feel obligated to stay in the tub at least an hour, so I usually spend the time reading.

>>8529872
I get so sad whenever the word tub is mentioned. I used to live in a house with a bathtub, but recently I moved to one that does not have one (nor the space). Reading in bath is something so soothing and relaxing, and now I am not able to.

Can I visit any of your houses for an hour or so?

It's not canon.

It's a shitty book which you should throw in the thrash to help eradicate religion off the face of the planet.

He didn't pull that stuff out of thin air. Unbaptized babies going to hell was the usual teaching, the 7 deadly sins go back a long way, I don't know about the 9 circles of hell but the idea of there being different levels of hell would make sense since there were different levels of heaven (2 Cor 12:2) and pseudo-Dionysius expanded a lot on these levels of heaven iirc what I heard in a class years ago.

>>8529801
Don't mind the typos.

Go to a college. Point.

>>8529801
Hi, I kind of agree with >>8529810 .
You can't avoid history of anthropology when learning about it, and it's much more simple with a good teacher

No it's not. The apostrophe is a visual representation of how we pronounce the word. We make a "c" sound then say the word "mon".

>>8529705
is that a real dick?

Haven't read it desu

Then I guess I wasn't asking you

Yes and yes. One of the most readable experimental pieces of /lit I've ever read. There were a few characters that I really looked forward to getting back to. The camera eye is a faux disembodied perspective that exaggerates and dramatizes the free indirect discourse (3rd person POV) of the narrative. It's a very interesting technique of narrative foils. The newsreels is like an in-text new historicist contextualization of the narrative before new historicism was even a thing.

A great and underrated work.

Medieval epics, like Chretien de Troyes', really do it for me. Don Quijote had it right in that regard.

Robert E. Howard's stuff is my go-to escapist reading.
He brought the pacing and variety of subject needed to keep my attention.

100 Years of Solitude
VALIS
Catch-22 maybe?

haven't felt as immersed in reading lately, but these are the last books i remember being submerged in.

Continental philosophy is much more advanced than you and other people think. It is born as a reaction to the realization that Analytical philosophy is all vanity. Observable truth has no ability to tell you the reason why Man has to suffer, and why suicide isn't preferable for everyone. Continental philosophers know that these facts provide no reason, therefore they make their own facts. They believe that their made up facts hold more value than existing facts, and it is true since observable facts are essentially valueless.

Continental philosophy, of course, is another form of idiotic pseudo-nihilism. But you know, truth really is painful, so ignorance is bliss. For people who don't believe in God, suffering holds no value, life is meant to be enjoyed, and the continental philosophers know the best way to enjoy life. If you hate God, this is the right philosophy for you.

Why is this a trend on /lit/ now to make the same shitty fucking threads over and over again hoping it erupts into shit war. Do you think people don't notice you're doing this over and over and over again. If you need help with adapting the bait format to here, especially since this belongs on /his/ (and so do you), make a different thread each day to shove your stinky ideology down everyone's throats instead of making the same thread daily hoping it will stick.

It will at least make the board seem less repetitive, and not filled with people who are in community college, or high school. Who need such basic questions answered to them.

Thanks, god bless.

analytical philosophy isn't all vanity, you just suck at logic

Publishing isn't an award, it's a business. They will publish the illiterate if they think it will sell.

>>8529561
YA hacks from reddit get published all the time. The "holy...I want more" guy ended up sending his material to a publisher and getting it published

In short, it's easy but /lit/ assumes the worst and doesn't bother sending their work out

(also most likely a crippling insecurity)

>>8529561
130% as good as the best of /lit/

isn't it just pseudo mathematics?

>>8529592
No.

wat

proper recognition of the only thing it's ever been any good for. fine with it

If being wrong was an exclusion criterion for not being in the canon, as opposed to being not influencial, there wouldn't be much of a canon.

He despised rationality.
Philosophy does not necessarily have anything to do with the rational.

Don't worry lad. Dominant values are cyclical. The white man will be back.

>>8529186
We will be waiting. A silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Dark Knight.

But not really "dark"

Because we're white.
