What does /lit/ think about John Rawls and Theory of Justice?
Is redistribution of wealth and equal opportunity worth attempting to reach?

There is no justice apart from God's will, and Heaven is a kingdom not a democracy.

Rawls acknowledges this flaw in political liberalism, how the idea of the original position only works when society decides to be secular. But, with secularism rising, doesn't Rawl's model work for the future?

Any notion of justice that departs from justice as an institution to deter criminal activity is bullshit and dangerous. An injustice cannot come from a spontaneous order, it must be a deliberate act by an individual. Rawls's idea is basically a blank check for increasing government power.

I got this book excited to read what everyone was raving about. I should have noticed something was amiss when reddit was praising it.
You described it perfectly. The humor is so fucking cringeworthy and bad.

What does /lit/ think of "Lolita"? I personally love it. Nabokov is excellent.

/lit/ thinks that since it's a meme book it's bad. it's not. 10/10.
nabokov is easily top 20 writers of the 20th century. they just never bothered to read anything else.
his short stories are quite amazing and no one reads them.

(For those of you that leave the house) How do you go about finding a muse? I find that my best work comes when I'm inspired by or around another creative.

Just finished reading this and I need to talk about it.
What a ride!
This is best book I've ever read. Don't know why I didn't read it years ago since I've pretty much read almost all his major works. Maybe I was afraid to be let down... I feel so stupid now.
Anyway, many parts of this book blew me away, but first lets discuss why do you think Dimitri is the best Karamaov.

When we point out to you that this is a blue board, that doesn't mean that kind of blue, it means 'blue' as in 'not red'.

Just vomit a bunch of vague sentence fragments. It's not that hard.

I don't mean some hemingway or jack Donovan meme shit, I mean more like hardening the fuck up and doing what needs to be done, working hard, stiff upper lip, persevering, stuff. I've always read a lot of camus and whiney "what is le point" trash, but recently read The Doctor Stories by William Carlos Williams and had my mind blown. Give me more stuff like that.

There's certainly a place for it. Kind of strange that it's themed around specific brands though. If the philosophy were first and foremost it wouldn't be themed, there would just be a smattering of examples from multiple reaches of pop culture that would illustrate the philosophical ideas. When it's themed you know it's mostly about the brand, not the philosophy.

It was a shit book. They made George look like a total and complete loser in life in the book. George was my favorite character and I thought he was the most complex of the gang. He was the lovable fool, the book paints him to be a thumb-sucking loser who wets the bed at age 40.
