Was Heidegger an über-autist for hating small talk?
"...[B]y its very nature, idle talk is a closing off since it omits going back to the foundation of what is being talked about. This closing off is aggravated anew by the fact that idle talk, in which an understanding of what is being talked about is supposedly reached, holds any new questioning and discussion at a distance because it presumes it has understood and in a peculiar way it suppresses them and holds them back."

Heidegger was an insufferable sperglord in general, there's good arguments on how one should deal with small talk but his is not one.
Nothing wrong with being an uber-autist. He's done more for the world than you ever will.
>>8033881
No he's pretty correct. He's not saying to avoid communication, he's saying to avoid trite communication.

kek. Godspeed, anon.
just wacked off all fucking morning, no regrets
OP here. So the copy is actually in a "special collections" part of the library. I'm not sure what this means and whether or not I will be actually able to take the book. I'm also not a student so I'm sure they're gonna ask for a student ID.
any advice? do i just rush in bank robber style?

If the bible is the literal word of God, then why does God have so many writing styles?
>>8032440
God working through the Authors, God the Holy Spirit, working through many different authors over many different generations.
Each author was a different person so obviously each of their writing styles, genres, subject matter, etc would come out.
Also, it is not the "literal" word of God in the sense that everything must be taken literally, when Jesus spoke of a mustard seed moving mountains, he didn't mean that literally did he?
>>8032445
Wouldn't that imply that God then inspired not wrote the Bible?
>>8032447
Basically, Men wrote the Bible, God worked through man to get it done.
Where do people get the idea God literally wrote the Bible?

Please confine all John Green hate to this thread. Post quotes and shit if ya want. Anything minor that doesn't need its own thread should go here. Anything major should go here as well, frankly. Just as long as it's a meme & it's supreme, it's welcome here, ya hear? Treat this thread like the orphanage you were sent to when your mom abandoned you on the street.
C'mon guys, admit it, we may hate him on the inside but we all know he's our secret mascot.

Opinions on this book and on black literature in general.
That book was literal trash.
Black literature in general is mostly focused around dindus or "muh racism." There was a black literature thread in here in the past, and pretty much every single good book boiled down to those two concepts.
>>8030797
>Black literature focuses on black people and racism
I mean the racism part is arguably not the only thing they could be talking about but why the fuck would you call it black lit if it wasn't about black people.
are you dumb. read gloria naylor you stupid faggots.
Since some Stormfag /pol/tard has started a thread on "essential nationalist literature" I thought it a good idea to have a thread on essential anarchist *fiction*. There's plenty of great anarchist political science, and I'm sure we've all read Conquest of Bread, ABCs of Anarchism, God and the State, and so on. I'm more interested in seeing whether there's any good anarchist, anti-nationalist *fiction* which I've missed reading.
My list of essential anarchist fiction:
- The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin
- The entire...

Sadly, there isn't too much anarchist fiction of which I'm aware.
Unless you're cool with egoism, in which case you could probably say a lot of sword & sorcery fantasy is up that alley. People just doing whatever the fuck they want and sticking it to the man.

what do u think /lit/?
>>8026492
Complete and utter nonsense.
By the way, The Stone in general is a haven for pseudo-philosophy. Avoid.
Trash.
Academics are trash though, so it's not surprising. They think they are forward thinkers for embracing the death of european culture, it's basically the world against european thought.

Can we have a Portuguese literature and Portuguese critic thread? If yes, just post your work and offer criticism.
Also, I have a question for the Anons who work with poetry:
I have heard many theorists say that the greatest verse metric of our language is the decassílabo, the meter on wich, as you know, Camões wrote Os Lusíadas. However, whenever I pause to ponder on how inferior our poets are (in general, with exceptions, of course) when we compare them to the poets of the English language, I often come to the conclusion that, because English have shorter...

Por tantas vezes
Já vi, cheirei, provei a guerra que
Os órgãos da sensibilidade em meu cérebro
Estão todos curtidos, todos secos.
O demônio vagou por sobre a Terra
E entre suas pegadas me arrastei.
Vi homens possuídos pela fome
De matar: o crepúsculo da mente,
Quando todos os lobos saem da toca
E em esquilos e lebres a empatia
E o raciocínio minguam, quando os corações
Em frutos de saliva e dentes apodrecem.

KUMORI: Parasitas jamais nos roubam de nós mesmos,
Embora se alimentem do que somos.
Podem até sugar as pulsações
De nossos corações rumo ao silêncio,
Mas jamais serão nossos corações;
A sanguessuga que bebe o bater
De nossos peitos pode até engordar
Em víbora, mas não vai ulcerar
A pérola de um cerne honrado e digno
Em cabeça-de-peixe apodrecida.
Você é doce, gentil, vivaz, valente,
E o monstro de seu pai não teve forças
Para plantar um só fragmento sujo
De...

HARUT: Vou renascer em chamas como a fênix*,
Que possui gratidão e amor maiores
Do que a mãe que dá a luz ao seu bebê,
Sabendo que naquela vidazinha
Que ali chora, vestida com seu sangue,
Jaz a origem de seu amor mais forte,
O ímã e razão de seu viver;
Sim, serei como a fênix, que supera
Esse amor, pois a si mesma da à luz.
Após morrer devora o próprio corpo:
Em rubi espumoso ferve o sangue;
Em novo trigo a carne idosa queima:
O grisalho falcão de cinzas morre
Em...

They tried to think beyond phallic, Oedipal sexuality so if they did it was probably wild.
