Am I angry? I am angry. I AM angry. I am ANGRY!

Based Tempest, never seen anybody else do what she does well.

One of her best songs.

A video that proves to me, for the umpteenth time, that English sounds ridiculously awful and clumsy. Thank you anon.

How dark was he? It was a great grandfather wasn't it that was brought to russia from africa right?
Or an earlier ancestor?

Why do you care?

But he is the goatest of all time already

the creator of this video doesn't have to be a postmodernist

Peterson is good at basic life advice but very little else.

The only reason he's popular is because he appeals to a bunch a uneducated basement dwellers who get overhwlemed by even the simplest issues in life. I would bet that the majority of his audience don't even know what post modernism is.

what book do you want to talk about?

Usually anything I've read recently or whatever topic I happen to set my mind on for whatever arbitrary reason pops into question, but with my peers it's usually shit like "oh man you seen the new spider-man trailer? How fucking awesome does it look?" "Yeah dude hella-fucking-epic can't wait to see the new mummy movie bro!" "oh yeah man gonna go home and play me som crash bandicoot today after I watch Baywatch©"

What have you been reading lately, Anon? We're happy to listen.

Is the Women and Men reprint actually going to be released in five days? I feel like they're just going to change it. I'm referring to the date on bookdepository and target's website. I don't see anything on Amazon. And that pic says fall of this year.

Thanks for any info

>>9721469
Also, the last time I checked his site (until two seconds ago), the date for the W&M reprint was spring 2015, as in it never happened. So is it safe to assume Target and bookdepot are wrong?

Not really a sample but would anyone be interested in a novel that explores contemporary political philosophy through dialogue? It also has a plot but it's secondary to losers talking about politics

>>9721419
Sounds interesting but awfully hard to pull off. You would have to provide some legitimate insights to make the book worth reading. I can turn on CNN for "losers talking about politics." You would also have to keep the dialogue well balanced so one point of view doesn't take over the book and turn your story into a masturbatory piece of propaganda which alienates half of your potential readers. The easiest course may be to write it as satire but even so, I think the major challenge is in overcoming our incredibly polarized political world with genuinely unique ideas or new perspectives.

I ve been reading Junkie by Burroughs.

you would probably have to explain
what this means
or provide an example
for the confused ones
who know not

Aquinas' first part of his argument the Five Ways - the First Way - is argued using the Aristotelian method for understanding causation, the act/potency distinction. I am wondering if the argument can be valid if worded in modern methods of understanding causation or if it depends on that method.

>>9721384
Aristotelian conception doesnt invalidate modern causation interpretation and vice versa

I was waiting for a chance to delve into Tolstoi, so this is a wonderful recommendation. Thanks, I'll definitely read it. Any other work come to mind?

Let us here your take Einstein?

You pig

Pa. Why is bacon breakfast?

What.

You can put eggs on lunch.

Ye.

But if you put bacon on stuff it becomes breakfast?

The man spat and said the bacon is not for this world or from this world it comes from the pig but the pig knows it not.

He wiped his chin and spat.
