I extended my universe into your mom while she seemed prone

i just write whatever i feel like and cut the extraneous bits. they strengthen the main story by way of making you informed of the depth that isn't going to make it in the final cut.

Thanks, they have it in my native language too I've just noticed.
Should you ever read translations?

if you like dfw already

i wouldn't go out of my way to read it if you don't

Personally I found it fucking intolerable. I liked Infinite Jest and I get that DFW has a stream of consciousness-y style sometimes but this read like a bad imitation of it by some girl on Tumblr.

Finished IJ a couple months ago and really enjoyed it. Knocked off a couple books from my backlog since then and wanna read more of his fiction.

Deciding between this or The Pale King but all I hear about TPK is that it feels so broken and unpolished (cause it is I guess)

>>7431160
The former is a major reason and because of that influence, it can lead them to make foolish decisions. The latter is more of spookbusting.

>What's so bad about ideology? Is it just the fact that people don't often recognize its influence on their thoughts/actions

it's not bad in and of itself, it just means you're stupid. explicit articulations of thought that happen to agree with current ideology is fine.

> a society's culture to not be driven by it?

this is incoherent, read more on what ideology is.

>I see a fair amount of posts here deriding "le ideology" which, without a solid grasp on their answer to the question above, seems very fedora-ish.

mein gott pure ideology

People's world view can be distorted by their ideology. There is tons of psychological research on bias. Many people do not even read opposing views.

Now, there is nothing wrong with a person having a good ideology or a society having a good ideology, but it becomes detrimental if that person or society cannot escape a particular ideology when environments change or new information is found.

No, but this is.

>>7430964
You might. A lot of it is just logical inference.

I didn't really like the book. Mostly because of the message, which is a bit fucked and a perfect example of the dangers of extreme liberalism. That being said it's worth trying to push through.

>>7430964
You should be able to figure out most of it from context.

>she still has the mind of a 15 year old because women stagnate mentally at a young age, whilst men continue to develop into their late twenties.

Let's not forget that 99% of women read YA.
