bring all my bitches back

it's amazing how whores like jennette mccurdy admits in public that they are whores.

>>23371379
What's amazing about it? People love whores, they're a lot of fun to be around. Unlike prudes, ew.

>>23371379
>>23371418
Thats because whores are for the public
They are public property
People love whores, individual persons rarely do
Or at least they like them as a fun passtime, not something you tie your life to and can rely on

You’re late. AI generated stories and art already swamp self publishing. They aren’t one man operations either and have 20 chinese or indians in a basement making 20 of them a day.
If production costs are nothing you need only a couple of sales to make it work. It’s even happening in audiobooks. Downloaded something from “Charles River Editors” (free mind you) and realized the repetitive nonfiction narrative was going nowhere. Voice they used was pretty good too. Enough to fool you at a casual glance.

>>23371430
I am not talking about AI garbage.

retard.

I don’t want to be rich anyway. The struggle is all I’ve ever known, I’m nothing without it.

Damn, so the Trinity actually is real.

The only anagram of Byung-Chul is ugly bunch.

>>23371203
Mid tier philosopher, will be forgotten as quickly as the trendy topics he tends to milk

>>23371240
Maybe, but is there another philosopher with a better framing of 21st century problems? I've only read The Burnout Society so far, planning to read The Transparency Society next, but I really like how he set the stage to talk about modern issues. It all makes sense and he condenses it in an approachable style.

>>23371203
He is simple to read since he only has a couple of insights he keeps repeating throughout his short books. I liked his book on Shanzai

Brazil by John Updike
>Tristão Raposo, a nineteen-year-old black child of the Rio de Janeiro slums, spies Isabel Leme, an eighteen-year-old upper-class white girl, across the hot sands of Copacabana Beach, and presents her with a ring stolen from an American tourist. Their flight into marriage takes them from urban banality to the farthest reaches of Brazil’s wild west, where magic still rules. Privation, violence, captivity and poverty afflict them; his mother curses them, her father strives to separate them, and neither lover is absolutely faithful. Eventually, ancient charms change him to white and her to black. Yet Tristão and Isabel hold on to the belief that each is the other’s fate for life, as they develop in ways they never thought possible.

>>23371285
I agree.
Though cant say im sorry for it.
That was Wallace's and Franzen's main beef with him. (well that and trying to put a best selling competitor down) They were both upset that he didn't write a defining masterpiece but instead worked on at a book a year. Some were better some were worse but they both tried their hand at writing great American novels and thought he should do the same.

>>23371299
The Rabbit tetralogy is clearly his most important work. What else is on that level? Also Franzen sucks, who cares what he said.

>>23371304

In the Beauty of the Lilies is a near masterpiece and to a lesser extent so is The Centaur.


Rabbit has that first book to get through. It's absolutely fantastic afterwords.

Wtf is a "stylist"? Sounds extremely gay.

>>23371185
Why do you not suspend judgment when avoiding to cross the street without paying attention to the cars?

>>23371208
Because tge pyrrhonian skeptic is content to simply follow appearances and not theorize about how car accidents are racist

>>23371215
Wait, Pyrrhonians follow the senses? Are you batshit crazy?

>>23371185
Sceptics are the comfiest writers. Cicero, Montaigne, etc.
>>23371336
Yes. But they do not dogmatically affirm that their senses are 100% verifiably true.

>>23371339
If the senses prove to be mistaken and grant no ground for truth, how can they provide justification for belief about them?

>>23371147
Out of the conflict this is the only western journalist i know of that was not parroting the "official narrative".
picrels mostly about the terrorists in Macedonia and Serbia. Reads like real journalism of its time.

Round/Oval-shaped things are scary.

nothing can be more disturbing than my own life

>>23371294
To point out the sheer depravity of the French psyche

>>23371294
ovals, french are horny, and how everything can be related to sex & depravity according to Bataille

Cannibalism is simply not for me.

It's almost as there's an agenda behind it

It didn't feel like she had an agenda, it just sucked cause she references random stuff because "memories"

>Our souls are like those orphans whose unwedded mothers die in bearing them: the secret of our paternity lies in their grave, and we must there to learn it.

what does this mean?

>>23371057
Basically, that we live in the world without knowing or understanding our origins (in the analogy symbolized by our “paternity”). We have no clear understanding of how consciousness (ie “our souls”) works or how it comes about, and can only wonder and speculate

>>23371057
It really is sad how low reading comprehension is. Are you a zoomer? ESL? Is this normal? That's not an exceptionally hard line to understand.

>>23371057
It means our souls are like those orphans whose unwedded mothers die in bearing them: the secret of our paternity lies in their grave, and we must there to learn it.

>>23370924
For prose? Just read Addison & Steele, Johnson, and Carlyle.

>>23371856
Nice sexual fantasy leftoid, right up there with fucking little kids and miscegenation

>>23370917
Bimanual writers might build bridges for that reason.

Correct, the society was fine until the subversive elements took hold.

Oh hey cool a literal subhuman.

>>23371893
Better that an intellectual anyday. Good thing the Khmer Rogue got rid of your kind.

it seems your problems could be solved by getting a job or an education anon

>>23370874
it's because of the "smartphones"
steve jobs was turned into one of the horsemen of the apocalypse as a punishment for the iPod
sure he was eliminated before he could "innovate" beyond the iPhone but it was too late
now the only way out is through
the double crusade: expel scum from civilized places (Europe, Northern America, Australia, and Japan) and confiscate technology from the rest of the world

I'm reading the Cossacks by Tolstoy and it has this
Apparently they were called 'jeunes hommes'

>>23371009
>'jeunes hommes'
you mean
>I was then nearly sixteen. Tutors still attended to give me lessons, St. Jerome still acted as general supervisor of my education, and, willy-nilly, I was being prepared for the University. In addition to my studies, my occupations included certain vague dreamings and ponderings, a number of gymnastic exercises to make myself the finest athlete in the world, a good deal of aimless, thoughtless wandering through the rooms of the house (but more especially along the maidservants’ corridor), and much looking at myself in the mirror.

that does not imply "incel" unless combined with pic related on one side and "smartphone geniuses" on the other

For me, it's The Poverty of Historicism.
Guaranteed seethe from Hegelians and Marxists alike, and you can usually rope a Spenglerian too

He understood everyone he wrote about perfectly.

> Popper is philosophically so uncultured, so fully a primitive ideological brawler, that he is not able to even approximately to reproduce correctly the contents of one page of Plato. Reading is of no use to him; he is too lacking in knowledge to understand what the author says.

I'm not close to being done with the book and I'm an unliterate retard so any deeper meanings will likely be lost on me, but I really liked reading about Orin putting glass tumblers on cockroaches to suffocate them
