Isnt anarcha-feminism just a critical lens?

>>7931315
They're all shit tier because none of them maximize aesthetics.

Ghostbuster tier: Egoism

Buddhists are quietists from a culture (read: entire continent) that never developed individuality.

Go directly to the Upanishads and don't look back. Buddhism is for fuckboys.

>>7925474
Check out the book Buddhism as Philosophy. I have a PhD in phil and think it's a great book on the topic.

Read on it and form your own opinion, if you're drawn to it you might find it fruitful. Zen in particular might be to your liking.

/lit/ in general is far too insular and Eurocentric to offer you anything insightful on this topic, better to just dive in.

/thread

not at all if you're not a teenager any more

can you fuck off with this worthless thread

Even in the Humanities it's pretty bad. Even in philosophy graduate seminars I've been in.

It's really weird. After five years of becoming a philosophy guy, shouldn't you be able to do more than a bizarre surface analysis of 37% of a short book or article? Every single reading discussion we had went like
>I felt like he made his argument really well, but I didn't like that he _________.

Just a vague-ass statement like "I liked it", and the critiques were always so off-base that you'd wonder if they even read the thing. Like, I've seen third year PhD students summarise the point an article is arguing AGAINST as if it was the argument of the article, because the article briefly synopsised the former argument for like a page.

University is weird. All these rich niggas but no brains

Perhaps they've been ushered into the wrong field of education.

Who would want the "wrong types" to pool into their communities, anyway?

Job.

This post was actually incredibly motivational.

Have you read the Te of Pigglet where the author goes on a rant about how feminists are destroying the masculine/femmine balance?

Hang yourself faggot.

>>7929683
He's right but Anatole France is not that great.

It's right, you can't create a new word in French whenever you want it. However Anatole France isn't that bright.

>>7929683
he was an sjw cuck of his day, so fuck him

50 when I'm not motivated to read
100 on a normal day
150 when I'm liking the book so much

The again, I'm a NEET.

Extremely relative given the size of this book and that book, and how youd have to caluclate to measure what you read digitally would fit as a standard book, etc.

Defining the standard of measurement would help too.

Most days I get to page 3 or 4 but sometimes I find an interesting thread on page 1 and stick to it while browsing porn.

Hume is wrong about induction because he didn't know about heuristics.

>>7927538
Hume wasn't wrong. Who told you he was wrong?

>>7927544
Heuristic reasoning especially when used in applied ethics can be unnecessarily harmful and holds people to a much lower intellectual standard than they should be imo.

not even close
finnegans wake is definetely abstract at times, but very pointedly so. in the end it's just a prose poem about a pub owner named humphrey earwicker that parellels his life to the folk song finnegan's wake and the fall of man. it's definetely not child's play but it's a concrete piece of english literature

>>7924408
Okay so what is?

A.non is a pretentious faggot when he says 'not even close'.

>writing poetry

There is no good contemporary poetry, just get over it and create something truly original.

>>7900230
I sometimes think about this, do you think poetry is truly dead?

Tower of Ivory

Watercolored. I have been given a vision of foliage and trees.
Painted forest surrounding, sun teasing the branches, rocking in sky-spangled seas.
Beyond the cloudmeadows, an apparition of Mary I approach on my knees.
She is beckoning me, and the dragonflies drum over the singing of bees.

Her eyes are made of dirt. I am pushing my fingers into her head.
And her tongue notyetwilderness, with her silvery hands she silently said
a litany, while the centaurs wept for her son, the priest of the mountains, their lord who was dead.
She baptized me with ashes and mud, and from her stigmata soft rainwater bled.

Kaleidoscope twilight. I have commanded the creatures to build me an altar.
The deer write on my face with her blood as I am robed in my daffodil halter.
Gratia plena, Mother of Sorrows, in gargled unlanguage I receive the new psalter.
And the angel descends, sulfur and lilies, his unknowing stone face tells me to begin.

This is my body. The oak and the maple kneel at the burial mound.
This is my blood. The raspberry and strawberry crawl like the sunlight toward me on the ground.
Ecce Homo. Ecce Virgo. There is no more sun. There is no more sound.
And I am over Adam. The land still is dying, the plow still is rusted, but I have consecrated his sin.

Foucault and his power economics.

>>7930672
He wasn't an economist.
He just was a philosopher

>>7930678
I think that he is an economist and my own opinion is sufficient to me, thanks.
