ITT: We post good threads from the warosu archive
The Steve Bannon's Library Thread:
>https://warosu.org/lit/thread/S9075761
>https://warosu.org/lit/thread/S9084193
--Might seem like a regular /pol/fag thread but quickly takes a turn for the better, with namedrops of a lot of interesting, lesser known thinkers and ideas.
--as far as I can tell the first time Girard (and by extension Girardfag) became a thing on this board, certainly the first time I really noticed him being posted.
>2017 is full lovecraft/gibson/land cyberpunk dystopia. A rotting mass of flesh and hair implants with the mannerisms of an used car salesman broadcasts bizarre infoblasts from the whitehouse literal NrX tech vampires are pulling the strings from behind the curtains. Biometric surveillance, drone strikes, bearded russian occultists, fully customizable, designer genders, neotribal gang warfare on the streets. It's really cool t b h
--makes a good point t b h
The Satori Generation Thread:
>https://warosu.org/lit/thread/S6047426
--Something of a meme concept to start of the thread but it quickly turns into a pretty comfy and fascinating discussion of contemporary anhedonia and ambitionlessness
--a lot of personal discussion rather than discussion of thinkers and ideas persay, which makes for an interesting shift from what these threads are usually like
>With the internet it really is very easy to avoid getting duped or buy into fantasies of wealth equating success or happiness. People just want to be "comfy" now. Nostalgia is practically its own brand of pornography. Music is dreamy and spectral, political engagement or sincerity are seen as embarrassing. The keyword is "disengage." Passion is a farce.
--Also a good point
--Got to take this thread in it's historical context tho, this stuff seemed a lot more pertinent in 2015... still a worthwhile read

Actually, I'm OP and I only posted the first post in the 2nd Steve Bannon thread, which was "fug drumb", not exactly something to be proud about

the summer & winter of meme-acceleration was all so wonderful. so good. so much fun. so interesting. cannot find a flaw. many strange thoughts percolated. the cup runneth over. cannot hold all these feels.

>A variety of reasons.
>Greek was composed almost entirely of native root words. Instead of "psychology" you had "soul-lore," instead of "metaphor" you have "carry-over," instead of "poet" you had "maker" or "song-weaver," instead of "lyrical" you have "harp-player style."
>Everything is more concrete - any bonehead can understand what poets and orators are saying, and reply in the same words without sounding like some yokel tripping over polysyllabic words in some pretentious eulogy.
>Second, literature was still a part of folklore. Some tall tale of a ballad sung in a tavern was on the same continuum with the Iliad, because you didn't need a golden handshake from a publisher or academic recognition. No paperwork. This also meant that people freely reworked folkloric stories - Oedipus is a fairy tale if ever I saw one, I mean, the guy's name is Swellfoot, and he marries a woman who wounded her child's feet and who would be around his age if he grew up - that's fairy tale logic right there, and not something Sophocles came up with. Anyway, this continuum meant that originality mostly lay in exaggerating parts of old stories. Some character brought in as a stopgap eventually becomes an important part, gets named based on his role, and people forget that he was once a walking plot device.
>History was a part of the same continuum - a local gangster sung in ballads like Jesse James or Wild Bill Jones, a glittering hero in a century's time.
>It was hard for people to fuck plots up - they could focus on style. It was hard to fuck style up - they didn't just repeat educated sounding gibberish, they knew what they were saying. They had to sing or speak their works in public where people might make remarks, so no weepy confessional my cat died when I was five bullshit. They did this in front of a crowd of people who might hiss, and where rivals might hear them, and where comedians (Punch and Judy-tier folk comedians) might satirise them if they were particularly bad: they were kept on their mettle. Writers were free citizens and owned slaves: no temptation to become a well-paid clown, and with no publishing industry, no ability to. Last and not least, the Greeks were exceptionally healthy and of a fine genetic stock that has never since been equalled. Iceland? Forget about it.
Good find anon
