I agree with this on principle OP, but there is usually some good books that come out of bad situations and suffering, of which indonesia is a top exporter. It may be that they are suffering from the whole "cant write good books as a muslim for fear of death" thing

Be prolific. Even if only half of your work is any good you'll build up a loyal base. Eventually publishers stop rejecting your work.

Why does /lit/ like Lacan so much? I am genuinely curious.

Also, how would you respond to criticisms calling him a hack? And is he superior to, say, Freud or Jung?
19 posts and 1 images submitted.

I'm still only in the 1800s.
I'll answer in autumn.
>>
>>9633919
Because /lit/ are for the vast majority existentialist atheists (or "Atheist/Post-Christians") and Lacans approach to the mind incorporates these presuppositions into a coherent framework for understanding the mind and desire.
Most critics who simply dismiss him outright I have found just simply have not had the ability or willingness to actually engage with his work at all so their dismissals are meaningless.

He viewed himself as a continuation of Freud's work and the exact differences between them are rather complex and debatable.
Jung is a joke, no discernable talent especially when viewed from a Lacanian perspective his ideas were ludicrous.
>>
>>9633919
Pure fraud, can't be excused by historical relevance like Freud or aesthetics like Jung and therefore not remotely worth engaging with

Free will is defined as the ability to choose between different courses of action. I see a lot of arguments stating that free will cannot exist in the universe whether it's all predetermined or random or a mixture of both. I disagree that there's no free will.

If you do a little experiment, and choose between A and B, C and D, E and F, and see whether you're able to do that, you'll see you can. I chose A, D, and E; this clearly shows that I have the ability to choose between different courses of action. That means I have free will.

Any person who's basically intelligent will find he or she has free will with the experiment I just showed.

It doesn't matter if our universe is completely predetermined; we still have free will. It doesn't matter if our universe is random; we still have free will. It doesn't matter if the universe is a mixture of something that's predetermined and random; we still have free will.

How am I wrong on this?

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/free_will
The above link defines free will as the ability to act at one's discretion (i.e. being able to choose between different courses of action)
Also, Wikipedia states free will in the way I have it defined

Sup c/lit/. I've been in a big essay writing mood lately and wanted to tackle a 2 in 1 project. My idea was a complete critique and breakdown of both liberals and conservatives in America, and how closely related the followers actually are behind all of the open hostility and idealism. Problem is most of my political reading has fallen way behind, the last thing I read was Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 79. What should I read to help keep a contemporary style on this subject?

Pic unrelated, I'm at work on my phone

politics are so limited in time and unimportant when looking at what makes the world turn. Don't get yourself stuck in bagatelles like contemporary US politics anon, look at the great scheme of things, from which ever stance you want to do it
>>
>>9633817
I wasn't planning on making it a magnifying glass "this is a liberal, this is a conservative" style essay. It was moreso going to say that once you get outside of the Red vs Blue mentality and look at the individual citizens you realize how both political teams use the same tactics to draw out the same responses. The more ingrained a person is in a political party, the easier they are to control and vote with only half of the whole story

What happened to aesthetics in the West after WWII? Art, literature, architecture, you name it, it all turned to shit after the war. The only exception might be music. But postwar music (rock, r&b, rap) is mostly derivative of older folk music. Postwar music is also more libidinal than aesthetic.

So wtf happened?

Postmodernism. Computers and technology causing things like helvetica to completely shift the platform of marketing. Simplification of everything stems from it.
