...in the teleological movement that arises from vibrant-matter or is it potentia-living-matter...

... mattering and storytelling are in an intra-active relationship...

...Storytelling is not just a sensemaking or linguistic account, it is also about mattering...

... Storytelling is the teleological movement that arises from timespacemattering that is not strictly reducible to sensemaking consciousness...

I have no idea

i have a stupid girlfriend who only reads that shit too, but i've been suggesting her to read the wheel of time series. idk. opposites attract. get her to cook or suck your dick more or something while you handle the intelligent side of the relationship

maybe Hemingway, that halfnasal whine of any of his characters will ultimate be counteracted by the works´ literariness.

bump?

Aristophanes is pretty based, and easy to get into. Makes for light reading compared to the philosophies and epics that are the "must-reads"

Fart jokes are truly universal

Pretty irrelevant to where I live. Even so I've read more than enough black gripe stories. I also find it irritating that this is the guy who wants white people to pay black people trillions of dollars in "reparations."

Can you imagine the chaos? Months of alcohol fueled riots, people walking away from their jobs, buying luxury goods, and then ending up just as impoverished as they were before. Except for a clever minority that makese a killing of the stupidity of white liberals. It's disgusting and hateful idea.

No matter eloquent this fellow is I'm not buying into this modern guilt fest when I live in a country that never really had slavery and actually provided a good refuge for runaways and black loyalists. But of course I'm the evil white male who needs his privilege checked.

You guys just don't fucking get it. Jesus. I mean, how can so many people posing to be so many things get so much so wrong so often and so completely implausibly? I just can't even begin to grasp the grease soaked truth that is all of your undeniable pads of intellectual shoulder meat that you braise in the overly reductive bourdelaise sauce stirred by nature's nefarious specter of glum n 'turbation and his sommelier buddy George who's just here for the weekend.

I mean, FUCK. You guys just think that you're all the tartest in the smarties bag don't cha? Just the shiniest scalp at the old people's home? Just the wettest pair of panties at church, huh? The deadest joke ITT, yeah?

Well You've got at least one other thing coming your way from my way that you didn't see coming your way cuz they call me Nighthawk.

Remember that name.

Nighthawk will strike with his [my] tumescent talons, my scalpael sharp talons of justice and pugnity, forged from Haepheastean steel and made with the finest oils made from God's most delicous of fish in the clearest sea on the shore with the most beautiful Brazilian women who you can't even really tell have had kids because for some reason that skin just snaps back like a fresh leathercowhide rubber band made of the freshes mozambiquean rubber (that's where they get the gest rubber).

NIGHTHAWK: prowler of truth and sanctifier.

Of course it is possible for someone do outdo them, but the average person, no matter the time, will never be capable of doing so.

>>7384939
so, can we agree the average person is mediocre as fuck and don't wanna get gud?

Nope, never ever.

Anticipation weighing you down?

I'm reading his Conspiracy.... right now (literally right now) and although it flows well and is very entertaining, I don't really see anything that I haven't already read elsewhere etc. I mean the first quarter is basically a defence and justifcation for Zappfe''s 2000 word argument against procreation. The next quarter is a mockery of reasons to live and a justification of the pessimist worldview. I'm halfway through right now.

>dune
>1965
Bait harder.

>>7384886
I think he's referring to the redesigned cover, not the plot itself.

Did Dune inspire Star Wars? It seems like the Jedi take from the same idea of Sufi-type desert people.

aged out after the eighth but loved them a lot when I was younger. worth finishing?
