Why are you sacred?
She is ripe for the picking

I liked the part where the guy turned into a deer then his hounds ate him

>>8204544
that bookshelf would be a cool furniture piece.

>>8204544

>So, I'm dumb

google translate you mongoloid

please delete this thread.

>>8204522
Google it nigger

>>8204528
There are too many sentences, it's very impractical to type all of them. And google translate is shit anyway.

>>8204529
What should I even google, you cretin?

Did you get to the part where Midori talks about reading Dostoevsky?

Also, I re read after posting and I sort of fucked up some words and sentences. I'm sorry.

>>8204510
If it's just a mention yeah, it was just mentioning she liked him so it could had been any author.
I was sort of surprised with Psycho-Pass actually quoting authors and discussing arguments and counterarguments. You usually just see some cover of a book that somehow connects with the plot but without someone discussing it there is no real interpretation to make, it's just "look, this two things are alike". I hate that.

good lord, did someone photoshop her face a la "woll smoth" memes or is that her actual face

Kant -> Schopenhauer -> Nietzsche -> Darwin -> Ludovici -> Stefan Molyneux

Have you read all the Greeks, little one?

>>8204501
The Romans.

>>8204469
Because it's used as a catch-all shield against criticism. When you're detached from what you're saying because everything is buried under 14 layers of irony, you and your actual opinions are safe from judgment

>>8204469
dfw was an idiot and didn't know what he was talking about.

>>8204486
this isn't always true but it can be.

>>8204486
Maybe I dont really understand irony then because pynchon and delillo and letterman all seem to have clear statements about the world despite being ironic.

I heard Groucho and Eliot bung each other while Pound leaned back in a rocking chair taking notes on Eliot's form. Groucho made a joke that Eliot had found the wrong hole and called Tom a Faaaaaguh.

>>8204683
This sounds right but the way I heard it Groucho was meatspinng Eliot while he had him doggy and asked why he wasn't going up.

>absurdism
Another form of leap to faith that likes to deny that it is a leap to faith desu. I used to be a huge absurdist until I realised this, and read Kierkegaard.

It's obvious Camus really didn't understand Kierkegaard.

A Short History of Decay is a good book.

Cicero didn't achieve his ultimate goals.

Farage did.

>>8204456
His goals go far beyond leaving the EU. The necessary purge of London is going to be much harder to achieve.

why's he copying Bernie Sanders' stage movement tho?

Audiobooks are boring to me and usually slower than what I read at.

I record them, but I don't know how people can listen to them.

BTW, if you want free books written by shitty authors, a large number of them upload the entire book in the audition section of ACX for some reason.

>>8204400
I'm currently listening to the Dune series, pretty good tho.

Democritus, of course.

Why should I care about them?

Plato, Descartes, Kant, Schopenhauer and possibly Nietzsche did more than they ever did.

>>8204394
That's funny. That's exactly what I said when I was invited to my parents funeral.

>>8204362
The meme trilogy.

You are stupid to an impressive extent.

Good work. Keep it up. You can make it through this and quit forever. I believe in you.

It got a 1 star review on goodreads by a guy who didn't finish it so...

>>8204305
Those names went from everyday to Pynchonian disturbingly fast.
