Does anyone have a mega upload of all of the "Realms of the Unreal" volumes and illustrations? I'm very interested in reading this but I'm too lazy to buy a copy of it. Thanks in advance.

What do you do if you're a pseudo-intellectual who's not really qualified to discuss philosophy and psychology but your knack for writing allows you to fake it reasonably well, and you're making a philosophical/psychological argument in an article and you know that despite whatever writing talent you have you're inadvertently coming across as laughably verbose and hyperbolic, but you don't want to omit or rework the verbosity and hyperbole at all because you strongly feel there's valuable glimmers of insight therein, you worked really hard on it for some insane reason, and you're somehow proud of it as prose? Turn it into a self-deprecating joke? How?

So, I started reading Lolita recently, and it's really fucking good so far so let's have a thread about it.
What I find the most interesting (beside Nabokov's skill with the language of course), is the way he uses the narrator to HOO HA manipulate the reader's perception of what actually happened. We only get to see the through Humber Humbert's twisted mind, and HOO HA, HOO HA this makes the reader actually kind of root for hiHOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA HOO HA

In celebration of my latest shittily generated ebook (Ultimate Religion, 6 in 1: A Journey from East to West), I'd like to offer /lit/ my unique text combining services. Give me up to three books to combine and I'll post a paragraph or so of what my program comes up with. They have to exist as text files, help me out if they're hard to find.
Also, help me out by buying or leaving a review on this book (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07529B9PL)
or my retarded James Joyce/Douglas Adams one (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MURDLPW)
and we'll call it a day.
Here's a sample paragraph from the religion mashup for the folks who don't remember my shit post about A Portrait of the Artist 2.
>They all came, the field where Life disports; And that which were gathered together to thee that utmost lore, Safe shall it will not yield thee; widowhood, poverty, famine, sword, and took all four quarters; and thistles shall it bring forth manna for him; and he smote off their heads and coals as large as thou hast not attained My rest, life stands in the middle time approaching : four years, so that he himself had been content with good will do us greater mischief Thy children shall die of hunger, and female like all the water.

Stay away from this place later on and the flock of keys. The Church, the German spiritual being or language is spoken, we can't win . Just as a statue, its apex. Out of the stands opposite them were out in the happier he seemed to risk it. And while Death began to ask Wood to call Filch, I should be afforded facilities for their kinsfolk through their nervous state, every pie though they do this only by winning at Quidditch, or collapse of that which English negotiations could take every step that seems a necessary condition of a whole Anglo - force and is at his own joke.

Where do I start with it?
>>
>>9998481
You are supposed to contact someone initiated in it and that is and official part of the TM community and thats allowed to "teach" it and give you a mantra which you repeat on your head
I cheated and used a word I like as a mantra. I tried with other 2 words before and they didn't work so good but the new one did the job
I guess I should contact an oficial teacher now, I guess the legit way most be even better
If you want more Google is your friend

Do you know about the philosophy of Gustavo Bueno?
If you feel like escaping postmodernism, nihilism or metaphisycs you may want to take a look at his thinking.
You can start here:
http://www.fgbueno.es/ing/gbm.htm
If you know Spanish watch this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfOpu56-wt0
Thanks to his philosophical system, a new theory could be developed that objectifies literature. If you are interested and fluent in spanish, check the work of Jesús G. Maestro.

Can you tell me a bit more about his overall ideas and where he's coming from?
>>
>>9998428
He denies the posibility of incorporeal life.
The fundamental concept in his thinking is the greek term Symploké. Gustavo Bueno is a pluralist: he doesn't hold that there are infinite realities or ideas, and denies that the relationships between them are infinite.
In order for knowledge to exist there has to be a selective set of relationships between ideas. If the ideas are isolated (you can't draw any relationships): you would need to know all ideas in order to know one specific idea. In the other hand, if all the ideas where connected to one another you would only need to gain the knowledge of one to know all of them. Thus, his philosophy stands beyond nihilism (nothing correlates to nothing) and metaphysics (everything is connected to everything).
He developed the theory of categorical closure. The sciences do not have an object of study. Instead, they have a field of study, in wich the ideas are interconnected in Symploké.
So, for example, a postmodernist like Jacques Derrida states that "Everything is a text." The philosophy of Gustavo denies that. The philologists would only apply to their own field of study. If everything was text, the philologists would be doctors, and they would cure cancer just by talking to it.

>>9998428
He comes from Spain.
He was considered a leftist when the dictator Franco ruled. Then he was thought to be a fascist in the times of democracy...
Gustavo Bueno died last year.

I was recently memed into reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. After reading a few chapters, I know only one thing: I want to rape Kvothe. I don't mean that in a metaphorical sense of besting him. I mean I literally want to sexually assault him. Every night I lie awake, imagining Kvothe's screams as I enter his tight pink virginal cunt and shove him back and forth like the world's most expensive fleshlight. He would piss himself from the mind-breaking terror of someone not being bewitched by his godlike intellect and skill, and I would rub his nose in the puddle of piss as if he were a disobedient dog. I would abuse every one of his holes until my balls were completely drained, and then I would leave him twitching pathetically in a pool of cum, blood, piss and vomit. For one last torment to break his will completely and beyond all repair, I would smile and tell him that Tolkien sends his regards.

You have to remember the kind of junk it's competing against in contemporary pop fantasy. Seriously, there are a lot of fantasy books out there much worse than it.

When I was younger, I had so many big ideas. They would just pop out of me at random, sometimes 20 in a single day! And I'd scribble them down in my notebook if I thought it was something I could build on.
Now I'm getting older. Mid 20's. I'm depressed. I have all the time in the world, but I can't make concise sense out of any of it. My new ideas feel dull. My passion isn't there.
Do you fight it? Do you work with it? Maybe you ask it for help, ask it to work with you.
Honestly, I am not sure.

How does one look up a Thesis paper on whatever subject?
I know what school it was written for, the author, and maybe the exact name of the paper, but just googling around brings up nothing. I went to the school website itself to try and find a hint, but its just a giant advertisement page it seems. I am not an educated man, this is unknown to me.

If you know the author's name could you possibly find them on LinkedIn or something similar and send them an email?

Schools usually keep them on file, definitely email the school itself
Also:

Plus for future reference it would be great to know how to if i don't have the dude's email.

Neat. I'll try that.
Not sure who i would email at the school itself

(You) adjust your perspective. Many expect 'the world' to yield them what it can in actual fact yield no one, and once their expectations are dashed, become desperate, or weary. Here's a little homework project. Read Chekhov's very short story Gooseberries. Rarely does so little say (and potentially 'yield') so much. Bonne chance.
