This. The blue aliums were racist and didn't make them write books b/c they wanted their children to look stupid.
floating just below the enclave, the skeletal figure whispered the unheard meaning of life from under the digital waterfall.
If this makes no sense, consider that meaning is meaningless for everyone but the meaner.
is writing the answer?
is the learned meaninglessness of life not wisdom, but defeat? does childhood understanding give way to adult egotistical delusion? adults get lazy.
the child has infinite energy and minimal imprinted patterns that enables him to constantly question and learn.
the lazy adult deems the pursuit of knowledge a childish endeavour and alocates his comparatively meager willpower to toying with ephemeral "adult" minutinae.
giving up "delusions" of staying in the center light the adult has long since set out on but one path out of the infinite.
is everything cliche? am i writing this for validation? am i too hard on myself?
are the rocks of stability we cling to floating in the ocean of uncertainty same as us?
the winding road of life leads quickly to death
obfuscation is imperative
insanity is imposssible
WHAT IS THE MEANING
there obviously is none
WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THIS INFORMATION
nothing really

Post the most disturbing /lit/ books.
>>8424586
unicorn chapter in the once and future king kek
>>8424586
Its single most disturbing, execrable passage:
Escorted by Desgranges and Duclos, the Duc and Curval make a journey to the cellars with Augustine in the course of that night; her ass has been preserved in excellent condition, 'tis now lashed to tatters, then the two brothers alternately embugger her, but guard their seed, and then the Duc gives her fifty-eight wounds in the buttocks, pours boiling oil into each gash. He drives a hot iron into her cunt, another into her ass, and fucks her wounded charms, his prick sheathed in a sealskin condom which worsens the already lamentable state of her privities. That accomplished, the flesh is peeled away from the bones of her arms and legs, which bones are sawed in several different places, then her nerves are laid bare in four adjacent places, the nerve ends are tied to a short stick which, like a tourniquet, is twisted, thus drawing forth the aforesaid nerves, which are very delicate parts of the human anatomy and, which, when mistreated, cause the patient to suffer much. Augustine's agonies are unheard-of.
She is given some respite and allowed to recruit her strength, then Messieurs resume work, but this time, as the nerves are pulled into sight, they are scraped with the blade of a knife. The friends complete that operation and now move elsewhere; a hole is bored in her throat, her tongue is drawn back, down, and passed through it, 'tis a comical effect, they broil her remaining breast, then, clutching a scalpel, the Duc thrusts his hand into her cunt and cuts through the partition dividing the anus from the vagina; he throws aside the scalpel, reintroduces his hand, and rummaging about in her entrails, forces her to shit through her cunt, another amusing stunt; then, availing himself of the same entrance, he reaches up and tears open her stomach. Next, they concentrate upon her visage: cut away her ears, burn her nasal passages, blind her eyes with molten sealing wax, girdle her cranium, hang her by the hair, attach heavy stones to her feet, and allow her to drop: the top of the skull remains dangling.
She was still breathing when she fell, and the Duc encunted her in this sorry state; he discharged and came away only the more enraged. They split her belly, opened her, and applied fire to her entrails; scalpel in hand, the Président burrows in her chest and harasses her heart, puncturing it in several places. 'Twas only then her soul fled her body; at the age of fifteen years and eight months thus perished one of the most heavenly creatures ever formed by Nature's skillful hand. Etc. Her eulogy.

Well shit.
Is there a novel (or rather a travel book) that only specifically goes through the scenery the main character sees throughout a journey (a book that's only about looking through a passenger seat window)?
>>8424284
the stranger
it's all just one big scenery maaaan
Please help me find a site I can download all of the work of a painter at once. I've checked all the normal places and slsk and they are often there but also often missing.
>>8424284
Not the entire novel, but much of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is dedicated to descriptions of scenery and the thoughts of the titular character as he travels.

Let's pretend we're Borges, and create books that don't exist.
You're not making any sense. Borges was the only one to create books that already existed.

This idiot was literally approving total censorship, why do you still read him and think he is relevant?
>>8422280
I too approve of total censorship so that shitty posts like yours could be censored
REDACTED
the prose is amazing
Which edition of the presocratics' fragments should I buy? So far I can't decide beetween the Penguin and the OPU ones. Also >start with the Greeks thread
OUP is the way to go.
>>8422138
I read the Oxford and it was very good.
Also could you please recommend some good secondary literature about Greeks' history, literature and philosophy? So far I've read and appreciated "The Greeks" by Kitto and "The Origins of Greek Thought" by Vernant.
Wow self-publishing is pretty great.

Pretty good, but no where near disturbing.
Try harder OP.
I want an honest answer.... I don't understand why many still cling to him...
Is it nostalgia, many people simply can't leave the 60s alone.
is it more of an aesthetic appeal to the ideas of Marx, without actually thinking about its
practicality
I think many academics remain marxist, not because they honestly think it is applicable, but because that is the reference frame they have viewed society through their whole academic career...its hard for many to adopt a new approach
Im not much of a marxist, but i think alot of it is simply many academics simply can't let it go, because like you said that's what they been trained in
Marxism had been thoroughly refuted. Just Google it for countless sites
Academia is a giant circle jerk for acceptance and tenure that exists in a government subsidized vacuum
Durkheim and Weber were both greater sociologists than him..
yet sociologists flock to this guy...its sad
