I know we have a /crit/ general, but why not a /writing/ general?

The absorption and creation of independent and thought provoking speech should, in my opinion, be our greatest goal.

So what say you lads?

I completely agree anon but most of /lit/ comes here for validation and anything that could possibly combat their tiny minds poses a humanitarian threat.

started reading IJ today. pic related (page 223) is the years in which the story happens, chronologically, from 2002 to 2010 (each chapter-title being 1 year)? so its a good idea to go to page 223 every new chapter to see the chronology, right?

*really sorry to make a whole thread for this, rip other thread

If you want to. Tbh I didn't, only went back once in a while if I was curious. The only real important thing I found was always immediately reading the footnotes when they came up.
>>
you read 223 pages in a day?

yes that's the chronology spanning 2002-2010. i don't think you'll need it, it's always there for reference but it's pretty obvious approximately when something is happening most of the time. there are little teases and jumps in time but the main narrative progresses linearly.
>>
>>9783604
oh ok. no i didn't read 223, just the first few chapters, but I read somewhere this "tip" to check 223 every chapter

>>9783596
well aware of the footnotes, but thanks

well since the thread is up, any other tips/recommendations regarding IJ are welcome

>>9783556
I met this girl a while back, we got along well enough and eventually she invited me to her place one night after work. I mentioned that i liked to read and she beamed "Me too!!" and asked me if I had read "The Alchemist". Needless to say that was the end of that... She called me a few times and I remember that she was hurt and confused, and not too sure what had happened. I sure dodged a bullet there.

it's pretty good look at labor history and civil rights, although it doesn't cover any lgbt struggles and when asked why not howard zinn weakly answered "well i'm not gay so it never occurred to me to cover it" but he's not black and still covered civil rights, so what the fuck kind of excuse is that?

I'm 20 years old and I've never studied philosophy. It's difficult for me to read books, I understand lectures more easily. Tell me about the good channels on YouTube or courses on Coursera/etc.

Levels

Dark and deep are the cracks and crevasses
Frightening is it’s atmosphere, yet somehow inviting
The surroundings are unforgivingly jagged
It has the appearance of fortitude but with mere pressure,
The walls turn to residue
However, up there is a different territory,
It has a sense of regal nature,
The space feels like property,
Yet, bewildering enough for me to make it my own
I think that is where grace lives
Sometimes I hear calls, beckoning me over,
But I just can’t seem to make the travel,
Inside, I know I am too much of a foreigner
Down here is my home, where I am familiar
This place, this most inhospitable place
For my reasons only,
Is my favourite place to stay.

I can't believe I think this: Maybe staying completely non-Spooked all the time wasn't such a great idea after all. If this is "real life" then I need some sort of mentality or ideology that can help me.

Is Ayn Rand good?

My (rigorously) reductionist outlook leads me to see all philosophies as vacuous pep talks. I abhor theory. I have epiphanies in evenings about simple, all encompassing possible life philosophies for myself that I cold implement to find success ("Have constant challenges", "Focus on a few things", "Do what you enjoy"). I set reminders on my phone for this the next day yet always find myself seeing them as stupid. The underground man is like me. But I have to accept that "default me" may be a fucking zero motivation waste of a life.

If I followed my tastes and intuitions, I'd give up most books within 10 pages.

People like to make fun of him for writing primarily in blog format or being half-Jewish or not believing in biology or whatever but can anyone name someone who has contributed more to political philosophy in the last couple centuries? Keep in mind Hobbes wrote in the 1600s and Machiavelli before then.
