Anon, surely you've read the Book of the Dead? The pyramid texts?

Wut. The most popular threads are jordan person threads, nick land threads, general philosophy shit, and fascism/communism bait threads.

Wow, people want to discuss books on the book board. Hot take right there.

Read the confession threads. Everyone on here reads genre fiction and manga primarily. They're all just so obsessed with being a patrician they argue on the level of high schoolers in philosophy class and borrow from the middle school next door when they need insults.

The genre fiction of yesterday is the literature of tomorrow.

the british empire restored in binary.

write about how you dont have any ideas then. what you write doesnt matter unless you wsnt to write a detective novel to make some money.

I was under the impression that writing a detective novel was good, in that it prevents you from being pretentious and trying to imitate the literary greats.

You could always try writing a short story every day with a set word count that feels comfortable to you. If you are stuck on what you want to write about I would suggest looking into different writing prompts online. With time and practice your writing will improve and your style will take shape. whatever you do don't make writing a chore just have the motivation and drive to write everyday because you actually want to.

audiobook cake boys everyone

It's more reminiscent of Bush, really. Also, as much as I like Lewis in general, not his best work.

I wish I could resurrect him and show him how beloved Moby-Dick became.

Don't ever speak to women like that ever again or else.

>>9704505
Why not just commit yourself to taking the redpill and ranting about women, semites, blacks, and liberals online?

knew someone who did that, teaches Latin at a Catholic school now

not to bad

>>9704513
I don't mind any of those groups :)

literally the two specific authors I consider red flags when someone likes them. pseudointellectuals that got way too much attention.

People who consider Orwell a pseudo-intellectual objectively deserve to be gassed because his life work revolved around investigating the ways in which cancerous fuckheads like you poison political and intellectual discourse by any means necessary. Orwell, for all of his faults, never passed an opportunity for reflection or self-criticism, which made him one of the most intellectually honest men of the modern era. And while I have little respect for Ayn Rand, I find that she attracts the most sniveling and obnoxious pseudo-intellectuals desperate to signal to the world their conservative or liberal values by praising or condemning her. The critics are the worst offenders of sophistry, since at least the fans have read the book and gleaned something valuable from it—detractors usually resort to quaternary sources.

If anything, these polarizing figures are great for identifying useless faggots like you.

bruh, im just now getting through guyer wood's introduction to the first critique. let me get back to you on this one is like 3 months.

more people need to read Quine, he is the culmination and the summum bonum of the traditions of scientific naturalism and logical empiricism
way more thoughtful and compelling and even writerly than any other so-called analytic philosophers then or since

>>9704378
>*dismantles your analytic-synthetic distinction*

People don't realize what a good thing this is. The STEM-Humanities divide is just a meme and its destruction is all thanks to Quine.

It's about a vicious gang rape from a cricket's perspective

When Blair dies he's going to Hell.

I'm reading it right now, although ist beautifully written i must admit i expected more.

I fell for the learn a trade meme. I don't mind working the trade itself but tradesmen are either fucking insufferable or just sad.

>>9704329
This. Took one day of laying concrete for me to know that this shit is not for me. I don't mind the work, but the people are insufferable. Motivated me to go to college Now I got a scholarship to go study Spanish literature at uni, then join the military as an officer when I can't find a job.
