>Zizek, Deleuze, Debord, Lacoue-Labarthe

Could have been a good pasta but all these people hate Derrida, especially Deleuze

This is pasta from Wittgenstein, no?

there's not a good anything featuring pro wrestling

Can't take you seriously.

First open a discord group, then open a tinychat group, then open a whatsapp group, then NOBODY posts on lit, the only bastion of barely intelligent online discussion, and the lit community is forever separated into three or four chat groups.

And now ironyfags will say "lmao good riddance, like I give a shit if I get separated from you retards who only make John Green threads and DFWinterview.jpg threads and >muh threads".

And that is how they win. I don't know who they are, but this is their agenda. I am not even fucking joking.

I enjoyed it enough, but it's not really 'literature'

For the same purpose as this.

I haven't read the book or watched the movie, but dumb shit like this is only worth experiencing in movie form for shits and giggles. Spending more than two hours on something like this isn't worth it.

I'm the guy who rabidly denounces the original Roman chart on every possible occasion as being dogshit, and while I still don't think yours is perfect, you have really nicely improved it.

My only comments (and it's up to you as the one actually working on the chart whether or not to change anything) are:

* Some more content on the Republic. At the very least a book on the punic wars, which would help encapsulate the morality of the Republic while telling some of its greatest stories and introducing some of Rome's greatest heroes (and villains!) and shedding light on the various events (fall of Macedon, fall of Antiochus, destruction of Carthage and Corinth) which different writers heralded as harbingers of decline of the state. To us, it's easy to see all Rome as just Rome, but to citizens of the empire, the republic was already this ancient, lost state with truer virtue and more impressive morality. That's an important distinction to understand when reading all the (undeniably important) content from the empire. A selection of Polybius would be ideal (Penguin offers basically an abridged selection of his whole history, while Oxford's Polybius is only 7 out of 40 books, although in their entirety); Livy's books on the 2nd punic war, while more exciting (would definitely recommend them for anyone with the time!), have far narrower scope, although any decent intro will fill you in a bit.

*Include Plutarch (if only some of his Roman Lives), possibly in place of Josephus; the jewish events were a speck on the empire's radar. Also Plutarch is just so well known that it's a shame to gloss over him. Maybe at least point to his Moralia alongside suggesting Plotinus, at least to let people know those essays exist.

*Maybe include Sallust. He's brief, fun, covers largely ignored events of the late republic, and is an excellent commentator on the moral decline I mentioned above, especially given that he writes in the dying days of the republic.

All in all, great work; this is much better than the first chart. I hesitated to make my own since I'm not done with Roman primary sources, and so will limit myself to commenting on your efforts instead :)

Hope you'll consider my suggestions, but either way, well done!

Thank you.

Fair enough, I'll definitely be considering that.
>A selection of Polybius would be ideal (Penguin offers basically an abridged selection of his whole history, while Oxford's Polybius is only 7 out of 40 books, although in their entirety)
It shall be fucking done. Thank you for actually recommending a specific edition for once, instead of just saying "read some shit by this guy."
>Livy's books on the 2nd punic war
Well, Livy's entire history of Rome (or the surviving parts anyway), are already up there. So, I'm not sure if what you're referring to is a seperate work, or...?
>Include Plutarch (if only some of his Roman Lives)
Already up there. Just below the Twelve Caesers.
>Maybe include Sallust. He's brief, fun, covers largely ignored events of the late republic, and is an excellent commentator on the moral decline I mentioned above, especially given that he writes in the dying days of the republic.
Again, thanks for the recommendation. I'll be sure to look it up.
>All in all, great work; this is much better than the first chart.
Again, thank you. It feels good to get compliments on this board for once.

You have it backwards, Marxism is supposed to be psychohistory.

>>8046653
Anyone else thought that the end of this series got too cheesy?
I read it when I was 16 and I thought so.

Isn't psychohistory chaos math?

It's been a while since I read it, but psychohistory was him adding and doing fantastic calculations to draw likely conclusions hundreds of years in the future?

The Odyssey is a poem as well as Beowulf. So poetry at its best is eons above rap at its best.

Mos Def isn't bad, but rap is basically glorified slam poetry

I read the plot today. seemed fine to me.
is it any good?

It is really underrated because genre fiction

remember to check that thought experiment thread for good ideas of things to be reminded about

>>8045803
Clever but the thread does not exist in the thought experiment world.

I don't understand. I'm just choosing something to remind myself? Why don't I just get it tattooed on my forearm

OP here, I'd like to add that these characters should be funny, nihilistic with a wicked sense of humour.
