He plays it safe.
My only complaint is he isn't willing to question 9/11 the same way he did for the other stuff, even though it is so tantamount to current US foreign policy.
No matter how he writes if off, it is still a gaping hole.

hes not as edgy as other pop-philosophers.

This is the same board that likes Lacan and Zizek, remember. Chomsky's work in linguistics is great, but his political stuff should probably be ignored.

Write drunk, edit sober? More like write drunk, throw everything in the trash the next day. This is the kind of insane trite I write when I'm shitfaced. It's always some sort of nonsensical erotic fiction. Worst part is I blackout and don't ever remember writing it, so I'm not sure if I do it as a joke or if I'm an actual retard.

/lit/ I think we should Attempt the impossible. We write a coherent novel, with an actual plot, readable writing, and less forced memes. I know it seems impossible since the last attempts have ended dreadfully but I believe they were just learning mechanisms so that we can improve our way of handling how we do things.
I think the best way to handle how we choose the plot is by rolling or deciding it as a group. Once one is chosen we can select a subgenere just for specifics.
Fantasy- High, urban
Scifi- hard or space opera
Realistic Fiction-
Historical fiction-
Mystery-
Thriller-
Horror-
Romance
Perspective and structure can also be rolled, depending if we want a 1st person, 3person Or
Pulp style,Connected short stories, Etc.
Characters, setting, and other things will be decided as a group and all work submitted will we looked over before be integrated.

High-Fantasy Mystery set in Bronze age civilization.
story is third person perspective but sometimes a narrator whom is the literal embodiment of /lit/ starts talking about how shit the story is and how everyone involved should just kill themselves; how gay all the characters are ETC.

You're in luck and you've come to the right place. There one or a couple of douches on /lit/ who love to post their poetry all day every day.
Poetry is dead and you shouldn't want to get into it at all, but I won't stop you.

do you think dogs are tormented by the specters of the beautiful cars they chase and their expectations?
that's my latest metaphor for sex. it's a feeling designed to make you have children. if you're not doing it for reproduction, the act is essentially as empty as a dog chasing a car.

Is /Lit/ into programming?
How do you see the future of writing? There is a robot today that can write 2000 articles per second and you can't tell that it was not written by a human.
Reuters uses and some other news agencies as well. And there are more coming?

When a computer will be able to write books, a computer will also be able to code (program). So programmers will be as obsolete as writers. If it comes to that.
