Well the ending continues into the next book

Canterbury Tales in space. Still quite good. And introduced me to Teilhard de Chardin, so there's that.

Then you are not reading enough. I play video games to take a break from reading and rest my mind.

Yes, exact same thing. Don't worry too much about it. When you read more often and more demanding works you'll be glad to take a break with some videogames for a while, and that's good for you.

I read, I write. I watch dota sometimes.

>>8176312
Actually, yes.

>>8176312

Why not both?

What's not to shrug at?

>literally millions if not billions of pictures of girls scantily clad or nude

>society with lost morals and easy access to displaying or accessing hedonism

well m8 i think it's not the worst to shrug at what you posted.

Rubbing your spear between a boys thigh was over hyped up by scholars anyway in its occurrence.

>le hedonism is a dirty word may-may

What are you, a masochist? It's just pleasure, m8. Even Christ enjoyed turning water into wine. Did he later send those people to hell?

There is literally nothing redeemable about the Greeks. The Romans, on the other hand, at least learned how to fuck women, as Ovid showed us. Ovid and Lucretius also wrote better about materialism than any of the Greeks.

>>8176168
Yes and no.

Marx's argument is that society is a product of material conditions. A huge portion of his life's work was arguing against the Idealist view that society is just an idea.

>>8176178
This.

OP kill yourself

Fuck off.

Why not explore how the series uniquely uses the interactivity of its medium to enable storytelling techniques that are otherwise impossible instead?

>>8176143
care to elaborate?

The greeks, if you don't start with the greeks you're another undergrad armchair boi.

tractatus logico philosophicus (I never read it but it has the most badass name of any philosophy book I've ever seen).

Ordering your mind is always beneficial.

That's like asking if doing Yoga, then some pushups and stretching in the morning for 20 minutes would be a good idea.
How wouldn't it be?
It's a question of dedication, if you can manage to cut other crap daily activities and do that instead

Diaries are basically quintessential if you want to write in a well-reflected way.

Disregarding your opening comment, does anyone else think this "trial" was an atrocity of justice?

Young man, did not participate in the planning of the system or the actual killings. Was drafted for the war, had no choice about it. Spent some months in the camp because he was assigned there.

Sentenced to 5 years.

Seriously, what the fuck? What could he have done differently?

If we, as the western civilization and jews in particular want to convince the world we're not the bad guys here, we're doing a shit job at it.

>>8176067
I didn't follow it.

But seriously, Junger lived past 100, Leni Riefenstahl also..the list goes on

So is Nazi Literature in the Americas any good?

It's the black magic. However, they did die and then their soul went to the Hell.

No

Dunno

Nasu can cram as many edgy ideas into his visual "novel," it doesn't change the fact it's poorly written by a literary standard.
Not that Tolkien is any better.

If you think that reading about theories of the world being flat will 'make you think' you should kys or go back to whichever year of B.C. you came here from.
With that being said, Descartes, I guess.

>>8175903
lmao that pic

>>8175936
Whatever dude, some of us strive for knowledge and understanding. Stay a sheep.

It's a tad overrated but still okay, just read it, it's short.

It's a pretty great book. Fuck how accurate the public perception of it's greatness is.

It's got nothing to do with it being popular, but I really don't like it.
