hey, thanks man. any particular starting point you would recommend for someone who's knowledge of the subject extends little further than pop culture exposure?

>pagan shit and sinners destroyed by their own vices but anything goes.
That's really not what HPL is about.

I thought there was a lot of "pagans triggering an old evil" shit in his writing. At least that's what a friend who digs Lovercraft told me.

Then what can I read that fills with that themes?

Those aren't difficult books. You're going to need to start with John Green and work your way up.

It's not necessarily wrong. It advocates you study philosophy, do your job, not worry about the past and the present (Aurelius), or anything out of your control (Epictetus). It tells you to be manly, but not too strong, and it highlights the power of the mind.

It revolves around reason vs emotion, and that already was fought between Plato and Aristotle.
Plato won btw.

>Plato won btw.
Did he? I remember Aristotle giving him quite the beating

it's 17776 isn't it. that's the singularity.

I doubt /pol/ shitposters like OP even read the writers they shill on here, if in fact they read at all. If they were familiar with her work they'd know the subtler Savitri Devi book to recommend is Impeachment of Man, since it at least has some passages about veganism and cute animals in between all the demented rants about murdering non-Germans

why doesn't /lit/ do a collaborative radio play of this? would take a lot of work but we'd be legends

>>9759879
It's too long, nuanced, not-very-well-known and difficult of a work. Anyone making a play of it would have to be a genius at least on the caliber of Gaddis to, first off, read it and sufficiently appreciate and understand it enough to make a play-adaptation of it, and, two, to have the ambition and desire to make this adaptation, and, three, to make it without butchering it and make it somewhat good. A play-adaptation of JR would be a work of genius indeed. So what you're basically asking is, "Why hasn't there been a specific genius who's done this specific and very difficult task?" Genius in playwriting or anything else is already rare enough.

It would be a long, long play. I'd rather see three/four ten-episode seasons made by HBO. Of course it'd need a great director. Sorkin always comes to mind when I think of a film/television adaptation of JR. But I'd be fine with someone else.

i am capable now of writing some of the greatest prose i have ever produced. i am still working to cut away the traces of inspiration, and ensure that only my own voice is heard.
my mind is still relatively hollow, however. where once a trove of information lay extant, now, only scraps and phantasms. ah, but i won't trouble one too much.
i am quite happy for your likely success, my friend, i wish you nothing but joy in your travels.

>>9759875
It has been an arduous road. I spent ten years in psych wards being misdiagnosed, but I believe I have turned my suffering into the means for my success. None of it would be possible unless I knew her, which keeps me humble. Joy to you as well friend.

>The first draft
you havent even written a novel. you gave yourself away in the first 3 words. if your make-believe novel really was in the hands of a big time publisher it would have gone through countless drafts on your end and a few drafts with your agent. also, your novel wouldn't be read by a "publisher" it would be read by an editor at a big time publishing house. learn a little about the industry before you engage in this kind of LARPing. it's the most pathetic form of LARPing too. you cant brag to friends or family because they'll call you out on your bullshit so you come here to collect good feels on your "big success". you're a fucking loser.

The Moral Discourses of Epictetus

What's the problem with Eco and Calvino. The former's book on the middle ages is nothing short of amazing.

>>9759672
OP already knows about them ya dumas

>No Eco

rip in piece funnyman
;-;

Zizek came up with this. Look for the video where he walks around in the garbage dump. This guy is toy af.

>>9759308
Looks like a fucking youth pastor. Also it's another let's anthropomorphize nature man.

>>9759327
I already know that
And I agree with Zizek that we don't need to reconnect with nature

I think there's a lot of interesting stuff happening within the sciences, some of it spooky
Take for example the research into plant intelligence or animal behaviour, or microbes in our bodies

Like this paper: "Humans as Superorganisms: How Microbes, Viruses, Imprinted Genes,
and Other Selfish Entities Shape Our
Behavior"
