Everything
>tfw all my thoughts about the concept of the Ubermensch, all my philosophical ponderings over how to live the correct life, the negatives of hedonism, the superiority of the life of art, the values of asceticism, all the knowledge about life and literature from the hundreds of dense tomes I have spent my entire life reading, all my theories and philosophizing about consciousness and the mind, all my thoughts about culture and the importance of art and the life of the mind in their ability to overcome death and to create a meaningful existence, all my ponderings about love and its supremacy, about God and his relationship to art, all my hours spent writing and trying to create characters and beautiful stories, my attempts to live an artistic and aesthetic life, my theories of the aesthetic and literary life and its importance, my ponderings about the correct culture that we have to create, the philosophically justified means of creating this culture, the very meaning of my life and my deepest desires and loves, all come crashing down after seeing a cutie and realizing that Chad will be nailing her in the ass tonight
>>9788822
>not just continuing the /lit/ lifestyle and becoming chad at the same time
>>9788844
>becoming Chad

hey guys
reading philosophy has totally fucked my head, reality and my mind have blurred in my head, and its lead to ocd-like compulsions
blog it
>>9788692
Which philosophy in particular?
Intellectualism is an ideology.
Literally every single "intellectual" in history was rich. That really makes you think, doesn't it? It's funny that these rich people think that they've transcended the world. They believe that they're above it all, looking down. In reality, they're just living in a bubble, completely disconnected from reality. This explains why communism always failed, for example, and why hippie culture brought with it the degeneration of civilization.
>The C average complaint club
>>9788699
Where's the lie, though?
>>9788680
correct, they also only work within the realms of ideology itself meaning just like the ideology, the intellectual is also flawed and deceptive
heres a hint: intellectual-ISM
Thoughts on college language:
I have to option to take ancient Greek or Russian next year in college. I am Russian and want to learn about my heritage but ancient Greek is the foundation of western Canon. What do?
just get drunk. What the hell are you talking about?
Take Greek. Learn about Russian heritage on your own.
>>9788678
Another aspect is if I where to peruse either, Russian would be more useful in a profession
How do can I read for longer periods of time/increase my attention span? For me, I can only read for a little over an hour before I get tired of it and move on to something else. Sure, I might come back to the book later in the day, but I also might not. It would help me reach my daily reading goal more easily if I could read for longer increments. How can I achieve this? pic unrelated

Taking a break is fine and even a good thing. Just make your breaks shorter, rather than considering them the end of reading.
get a stun gun and zap your nads every time you find your attention straying
What is the Dark Souls of literature?
Gormenghast
This is now an Art Nouveau/decadent literature thread.
Tale of Genji. Even Japanese have trouble reading it.
Do people actually enjoy this heaping pile of garbage? I mean, it's quite literally pitter patter throughout the entire novel, in between the autistic ramblings of Bateman and his escapades which I highly doubt even occurred in the first place.
>>9788521
I'm reading Players right now by DeLillo and its obvious that BEE took a whole lot from that book, which DeLillo obviously did way better. However AP is pretty well written, although not really anything much more than a period satire
>>9788521
you missed the point. its empty and vain just like bateman
>>9788535
Now I see.
There are roughly two approaches to psychology: the approach of "human psychology", for instance Nietzsche. This approach offers theory of general motivation and mode of operation. Then there is the "mystical psychology", as for instance embodied in Dostoevsky. This sees psychology and things like motive as largely personal and mysterious, as opposed to a matter of human nature. Each person must be known personally to understand, as opposed to understanding through analytical theory (this reflects the divergence of theology following the Great Schism)
Which approach do you prefer?
>>9788466
You are so wrong it's hurting my head to think of a proper response.
>>9789076
Forgive me if I've caused you any discomfort.
>>9789146
I will not, sir.

Nihilism aside, is the desire to leave a long-lasting mark on culture, history or science that will outlive outlive you by lifetimes a valid goal, or is it, much like romantic conquest, a vapid and narcissistic dream that one is supposed to grow out of to reach maturity
It is narcissistic, but I reckon a lot of great men were. Is it vapid? Who's to say? If it's bordering on the delusional then it is vapid and insane. A truly ugly predicament to find yourself in when you would dare to be self aware.
a disgusting drow like yourself can give up hope on ever achieving anything of even local merit.
>>9788449
>Nihilism aside, is the desire to leave a long-lasting mark on culture, history or science that will outlive outlive you by lifetimes a valid goal
I genuinely have never been able to understand this desire. What does it matter when you're dead and when literally everything will turn to dust and all human accomplishments will vanish without a single trace?
saw pic related and i think it made me want to start a cult, probably ironically. should i join one just to test it out? what's some good /lit/ on this?
>>9788415
absurd mumbling. only the lowest will follow. enjoy your retarded cult members.
>good lit
principia discordia
>>9788426
i didnt write that, but im honestly not averse to retarded members. seems like that would make everything a lot easier tbqh
>>9788429
i didn't think you did, your OP was coherent. you could try going to a scientology meeting to test the waters. i wouldn't fuck with actual cults, which wouldn't recruit you anyway.
Which artists of the last 25 years would be literary juggernauts if they went into literature instead of their respective medium?
Morrissey for sure. Who else?
>>9788307
No. Morrissey and all other pop musicians are brainlets and therefore incapable of being great writers let alone "literary juggernauts." Maybe some current scientists of the last 25 years but definitely no other artist lol
I hate the Smiths
>>9788360
>maybe some
that's convenient
