So it goes.

Just finished reading this. I really liked it.

Everyone is immortal, it's mortality that is an illusion of consciousness.

>>8154406
That's retarded because Archimedes won't be remembered if language dies. His ideas will have to be rediscovered and the new person will get the credit.
Or does he mean that Aeschylus will be forgotten when the Ancient Greek languages die? Because that's equally retarded.

>>8154406
Mathematical ideas do die tho. Remember when Pythagoreans had a hard on for all numbers being rational? More recently remember the whole Monster Moon Shine thing?

>>8154206

Neuromancer maybe?

>>8154206
Check out the cyberpunk genre, it begins and ends with this >>8154208

Th Night's Dawn Trilogy has some interesting themes about human emancipation and our relationship with technology.

>>8154139
I think you may have missed the point anon.

>>8154139
no

>>8154139
No. It wouldn't have been so tragic otherwise.

It's an addiction. I wonder if it effects the brain the way alcoholism does

>>8153207
fuck the will, burn it

>>8153211
It does. Internet addiction affects the brain the same way that alcohol does; behavioral and chemical addictions work in the same way.

>>8153182
Op here. I guess I should clarify that i'm mostly interested in counseling, therapy, educational, and maybe forensic psych.

>>8153182

It's a legitimate term of critique IMO.

publication of the philosophers stone

When she started retroactively changing parts in her books to fit the times.

the moment I registered for my high school's young republican club.

I would talk to you only after you've read the entire Dostoevksy.

if you read the english translations? with utter disgust.

Several cases come to mind.

1. I already know you, or know of you:

1.1. I already know that you've read Tolstoy's entire bibliography:
1.1.1. You do not know that I already know: I would or would not inform you of it, depending on the situation.
1.1.2. You know, but have memory problems that I know about: I would or would not remind you of the fact that I already knew this, depending on the situation.
1.1.3. You know, and have no memory problems that I know about: I would ask you why you are bringing up this fact now.

1.2. I do not know that you've read Tolstoy's entire biography:
1.2.1. I know that you can read Russian: I would await your further pronouncements on the subject of Tolstoy.
1.2.2. I do not know whether you can read Russian: I would ask for a confirmation that you can read Russian.
1.2.2.1. Your confirm that you can read Russian: see 1.2.1.
1.2.2.2. You inform me that you cannot read Russian: laugh, spittle, bend, knee-taps.
1.2.2.3. Neither confirmation nor denial comes: as good as a no, see 1.2.2.2.

2. I do not already know you, nor know of you:

2.1. We were engaged in a conversation to which your statement of having read Tolstoy's entire bibliography is relevant: see 1.2.

2.2. We were not engaged in such a conversation:
2.2.1. We were engaged in a different conversation, to which your statement of having read Tolstoy's entire bibliography is not obviously relevant: I would ask you why you are bringing up this fact now.
2.2.2. We were not engaged in any conversation: I would either nod, shrug, or ask what you are hoping to achieve by approaching random strangers with this fact, depending on the situation.

Note: the outcomes to which I have provided alternatives depending on the situation may take into account any such factors as your outwards appearance, poise, behaviour, clothing, sex - apparent or implied, apparent age, smell, voice, medical state, country of origin, etc., in no particular order.

Who cares? Just be yourself.

Christ is all and it is only through him that we shall achieve salvation.

Christ is the drop of water that makes all water known in all its qualities and aspects.

'Nirvana' is but a mirage compared to those who live in Christ.

what book is this from

I think so too. Sometimes, thoughts like this pass me by when I'm drifting off to sleep. I become so afraid that the warmth of husband's skin feels so alien and far away. I'm paranoid that whatever good things I have in my life is nothing but an illusion. I'm even more afraid when I think that the simulation is based on my wants and needs. When I don't see opposition to my beliefs or statements, I'm that much closer to believing that my life is completely and utterly fabricated.

>>8152440
Then it makes no difference to how we're currently living.

Also, you're annoying for thinking something so retarded.

was this cover inspired by John Greene

That is amazing
I love this board

>>8151500
I want a physical copy with this cover.

>>8150432
You mean the one that had its neck broken, most likely after being raped horribly by The Judge?

>>8150432
In the middle of reading this now, really liking it so far. Are there any more westerns /lit/ would recommend if I enjoy this?

>>8151105
Warlock
Last Go Round
Butcher's Crossing

haven't read any of them but I hear them get mentioned a lot.

Is that the pic of someones throat? Or....
