The only project I'm working on is my life.

It's shit so far though.

I hate this meme.

This is a real dream I had, how dare you.

I had a dream about Pynchon once and he had no face, just a voice

(the first chapter is enough)

Hey guys, I've been dreaming about Wittgenstein lately, and I dreamt about him most recently last night.

Here's what happened:

I'm in college, and I learn that one of my professors, a sardonic veteran academic who studied under Michel Foucault and knew Wittgenstein [not true, as far as I know, specially since Witty is dead]. Somehow or other, I convince him to let me meet him. Then suddenly we're waiting for him in my old middle school's library. We're eating lunch, having sandwiches, me and the professor, and we're waiting for W. and his wife to show up.

My professor gives me a few ground rules. Don't draw attention to the fact that he's Wittgenstein. Don't ask him about hidden rihnos. Don't even mention the titles of his books. I say, that's fine, having a sandwich with the guy is good enough for me, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I thank him again for doing me this favor.

Suddenly a man sits down next to me at our round wooden table and of course it's W. and he says hey to my professor and they shake hands and then his wife comes into view across the table and my professor stands up and they stare coldly at each other and mention how it's been a while and so on. Nobody's paying attention to me.

Then my professor introduces me and says Hey, this is Anon, a student of mine. W. puts out his hand and says, "Hey there—Ludwig" and I put my hand in his and say, "Hey—Picture theory of language." And for a second I don't even realize I've said this, but I notice the mood's turned awkward. Then I say, "Sorry, I just realized that instead of my name I said Pict—you know. Sorry, my name's Anon, I don't know why I said that. Now this is simultaneously the best and worst moment of my life." They all laugh at that.

W's boyfriend in the dream is Focault with thick hair in his late 20s he's funny and a good storyteller. He's mostly talking to my professor, and W. and me mostly stay quiet. Then for some reason both MF and my professor leave the table and it's just me and W. It's awkward, but I attempt the tactic of addressing the awkwardness head-on, in an effort to be funny and candid and also to impress W. with my awareness. I say, "Looks like we're in the dreadful situation of being one-on-one." And W. chuckles and says, "Looks like it."

Turns out my professor is actually gay.

How do you know that YOU have a mind?

Visit /pol/ and ask to be "red pilled" on how the economy works.

>Neil Gaiman
No.

>>7237980
Yes. But only for a certain type of person. Consider the fact that although lit Is a hivemind the real world is not.

>>7237987
Okay. Anything you want to recommend with good quality writing and which isn't past 2000?

How about we concentrate ourselves on serious threads instead of mocking things that no one takes seriously anyway?

>god is actually three people in one

chirstfags will defend this

I don't find Sam Harris cringey or "fedoracore" at all.

No it's not. Literature is literature and poetry is poetry. Lumping them together is retarded even if you're just looking for an excuse to post it.

Is it better than Brave new world? cause this one was a shitty one

Poorly-written relic that's only worth reading nowadays for historical context

i found that some of the ideas were fairly interesting. i agree that from a writing perspective this book is a piece of shit. its hard to follow because of his way or wording things and punctuation (also in context with the time and his background) but the material he tried to get out is still sound in my opinion. why didnt you like it if you could explain more?

Philosophical Investigations

If you're into phenomenology, Merleau-Ponty's The Visible and The Invisible is a must read. It is a manuscript published after his death, so it's in an unedited state and can get tedious to read at times, but the insight provided is incredible.

Sort of. I'd imagine his pretty ez-mode compared to the others you mention, but I got something of a dreamlike vibe from Kafka on the Shore.
