Tell her that analytic philosophers are merely LARP'ing as mathematicians/physicists, because they are too stupid for the latter two subjects.

Get her to start with Frege and then be really sneaky and slip some Cohen and Natorp in there. Then tie her up and punch her in the tits over and over again until she understands what intentionality means and starts saying "always already" when describing epistemological stances or semantic content. When you think she's ready, show her some Quine. If she starts making pained faces and asking for something a little less discursively naive, let her go. If not, you're gonna have to start breaking fingers.

B her TFO with your superior continental strain, obviously.

>>8221746
Series, not serious. Wtf?

>And yet, she is an anti-gun liberal cunt in real life, somehow doesn't see the parallel to actual guns. Are there any other authors this out of touch with the themes of their own novels?

It's a fictional story, fampai

It remains a mystery to me, anon. I truly detest this woman and any of her fans who think that HP is legitimate fantasy.

make it about an AI that was put into a human body and dropped into a city with nothing.

Steppenwolf?

Old Axolotl by Dukaj (polish sci-fi writer)

>>8221326

Read it, then think about it, until it becomes essentially organic. Schopenhauer put it well, but I can't find the aphorism right now.

Basically, until you make a thought (or piece of knowledge) your own, it is essentially a prosthetic limb.

I've been very guilty of 'reading without thinking'. I recently read Beyond Good & Evil, and would be hard-pressed to tell you anything I remember.

My sincere advice is to read Plato.

If I'm feeling crazy I'll take notes on what I'm reading. Helps a little

Take the redpill.

Women are simply inferior, your better off without them

>>8221233
there isnt any reasoning behind womens inferiority

as bitter as i am (and trust me, im pretty fucking bitter) it is not the fault of a gender for my loneliness and it is immature and vindictive to think otherwise

50 years x 200 books a year. Problem where?
Nonfiction books that you're mining for data especially don't take a lot of time nor attention

He looks like a fucking redditfag who heard about it via r/4chan or some shit.

Who the fuck is Rick Springfield?

>>8220765
let's be honest, all hypersphere's fans are from reddit

yes, many, but not enough

well one is pop trash while the other is literature so why do you find that surprising?

>>8220591
trash, yes

pop, no

I always read it as swords of radiance

What's the most emotionally crushing fantasy book?
Preferably stand alone

>>8220573
>The Underpeople, animals modified into human form and intelligence to fulfill servile roles, and treated as property.
Sounds pretty furry to me.

except their child

>>8219978
The child is all female wants of men which was Nietzsche's other observation, but the child is also an adornment. Just look at how society lavishes attention on pregnant women, notice how women constantly post baby pictures and quickly identify as 'mom' to claim the social prestige that comes with motherhood. Women get postpartum depression because the attention and special treatment that she got during her pregnancy go away.

My sister has been pregnant 3 times now and each time she moaned about the sickness and inconvenience of it all, yet she keeps getting pregnant. Her hubby was fine with just one child but she insists on more. She needs more adornments for her collection. The cradle is an over glorified jewelery box.

>>8219953
Do we really need a thread to reassert our feelings of superiority over women for the upteenth time?

>>8219647
my spanish mate said don quixote is harder to read for him in spanish than in english.

Cervantes makes it a joke to use archaic spanish for the don to make him seem that much more crazy. (Imagine shakespeare using what he considered old english as a laugh).

>>8219657
yeah, pic obviously unrelated, I guessed so too. I'd actually rather some newer stuff (as in, the last 100-150 years) but I'm not picky in any way if it's good and relatively easy for a self-taught Spanish learner to read.

Selfish by Kim Kardashian.

>>8219628
Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima

It was only written in 1949 too. Pretty recent novel.

>>8219632
What could I possibly learn from this?

I'm glad I have an e-reader.

>>8219085

How many do you have?

>>8218701
10,000 words will probably hit about 20 pages or so. That's a good size for a short story.

The upper cap for a short story should be "I can read this in one sitting." That's ultimately why you're writing a short story and not a novella or a novel. 20 pages is well within that.
The lower bound is a bit tricky. If you can make a meaningful story in a few pages, you have quite the talent for terseness.
If I didn't know the author beforehand I'd say it should be 6-7 pages minimum.

I find I work in 2500, 5000, and 10,000 categories.
