Good article, but it seems very unlikely that Chomsky will receive a nobel prize in the political climate of nowadays.
Maby if he was black and had no real opinions, you know, like jamie Foxx.

>>8194605
Ben Affleck is going to play the next Chomsky?

not clicking on that virus but Chomsky is trash and has contributed nothing to political economy

you want the satyricon m8

why would you want to buy it? downloading it is enough, it's just not that good.

Do they really care? If they cared that much why would amazon sell it? IIRC you can no longer buy confederate flags, and you could never buy nazi trinkets like banners or tee shirts. Why would they give a shit about a book? You can read it online for free anyway.

This is also a real possibility.

/lit/ is annoyingly tolerant of 'slam poetry', so congrats on what will probably be an active thread.

http://handbook.mq.edu.au/2015/Majors/UGMajor/Philosophy

Though then again we're only ranked alright in Commerce majors

The courses look pretty standard for an undergraduate degree. Large breadth, covers most areas of philosophy. The more interesting information is the professors and their area of interest. A class titled "metaphysics" will be taught completely differently depending on who is teaching it. Do you have particular interests?

Set it in an English boarding school (co-ed of course).

>Character traits
Protagonist should be constantly on the alert for pronoun misuse, and gender typing based on what people look like or their name. Character should have a suitably gender-neutral name such as Sam so that the genderfluid audience can project onto the character.

tupac was epic as shit, i didn't really appreciate him when he was alive cuz i was into east coast shit and he was doing poppy west coast records with mtv videos of california mcmansions at the end of his life, but if u look at his whole ouvre, he lived the hip-hop lifestyle more fully than anyone ever probably, i mean he had every angle...revolutionary black nationalism, drug dealing gun fighter thug shit, ballin' out money man, sensitive badboy sexin all the honeys like true playa, etc. he covered it all in his music which would be an accomplishment in itself, but even more he lived that shit, from coming up as the son of a black panther in baltimore, to going to prison, to dying by gun violence, he was authentic as fuck, and did it all before he turned 27, he really is the greatest

OP actually managed an excellent retort...
Still a faggot though.

Yes, go do something life threatening, its the only way to live.

no

philosophy isn't self-help for 'i'm so smurt' people. it's a field of inquiry.

>>8193760
no, his ideas are likely to act as a poison, alienating you from others while given you a false sense of worth.

but do read him. though only if you're truly curious so you can read him away by exploring others ideas.

>Is Literary and Modern Fantasy Possible?

yes but whenever something gets awarded with the literary label it sheds the genre ones

c.f: the fortress of solitude, delillo, 'magical realism' etc

>>8193740
If it's good enough to be considered literary, it's not genre fiction.

cf: Margaret Atwood making other scifi writers fanny flustered.

The Lovely Bones

GREAT EXPECTATIONS

trust me. also, the tie-in between the book and the song by the gaslight anthem 'great expectations' is so killer

>novel
>good

The appeal to novelty (also called argumentum ad novitatem) is a fallacy in which one prematurely claims that an idea or proposal is correct or superior, exclusively because it is new and modern.

Not a Bernie supporter, I want to write a book that involves this, so thought it would help to know what the hell I'm talking about.
