anything good written on or trying to describe/explain the transcendent experience of truly great art?
i find the best art brings me to a feeling of heightened consciousness like some frozen moment when you hear complete silence or the sun is hitting just right and everything feels fallen in place and as it should be
>>7715374
back to /r9k/ and watch some consciousness-raising anime, faggot
What do you guys think of Tim Urban's WaitButWhy?
>>7715301
i don't know but that pic triggered the fuck out of me.
has it been made by jewish cultural marxists who try to imply that scandinavia should take in more dirty Arabs to subvert western civilization and breed out whiteness?
take these pictures back to tumblr where they belong, we're 4chan here, and that means redpilled.
There is not room for more non-whites, and that's FINAL.

Non-native English speaker here. I haven't taken any course on writing and I was wondering if it's possible to write good shit without any structure whatsoever?
The less structure it has, the more revered it'll be. Just look at Finnegans Wake.
>>7715253
What is your language?
>>7715259
this, fampai. structure is totally gauche at the moment.
Daily reminder that when you procreate, you engage in the absolute quintessence of "begging-the-question" as well as committing an egregious offense against another human being

Fuck outta here, Dworkin
>>7715191
No you idiot, the "egregious offense" is the gamble you take on behalf of someone else who has to live an entire life, possibly fraught with turmoil because of your stupid selfish choice.
Is reading the science of logic necessary to understanding any major philosopher after Hegel? Is it okay if I just read his other stuff and come back to it later?
>>7715024
Logic isn't a science.
>>7715024
From what I hear, no. It's really abstract stuff that makes Phenomenology of Spirit look easy by comparison and no one really engaged with it.
>>7715093
Hyppolite engaged with it. (The teach of Foucault, Deleuze, Derrida, etc)
Has /lit/ ever had to re-write a story they loved so many times that they started to hate writing?
I've been doing that over the pat week and it hurts so bad
art is never finished only abandoned
post the first page anon and we'll tell you
>>7714838
It can be finished once you know there's nothing left to add or take away.

I've posted pretty much every version of the first several pages in the crit threads over the past two weeks. They're petty cringe worthy but that's not the biggest problem. The problem is that I've tried to fix it so many times I'm having trouble caring about the project anymore.
I'm bored with it.
The thing is, it's a multi-perspective story so I could pick up with another character and come back to this one later, but so few of my characters have been developed yet...

Hey, let's cool it with the antisemitism.
>>7714672
Ok, dad.
I don't get goodreads. its like last.fm for books but with an even more difficult layout.
>>7714535
I've always preferred librarything
goodreads was just a scheme by a jew to get a bunch of dummies to write a bunch of book reviews for free and then sell it all to amazon for a small fortune, basically a judaic shakedown built on the free labor of naive nerds
>>7714546
So...opensource for profit.

Hey /lit/
Are there any books that would actually help you get better at debating?
I've been looking for a book like that for a while but I can't seem to find anything. Some people suggested that I study philosophy or/and law but I'm not too sure about that.
Any ideas?
>>7713989
Start with the Greeks.
Reading Chomsky's politics works will turn you into a consummate gadfly.

Why post your writings here for feedback if there's a chance someone's going to plagiarize it?
what's wrong with plargerization?
Why post your writings here for feedback if there's a chance you'll publish it one day? That's some Fifty Shades of Gray shit
Hardly anyone posts OC here. If they do its too shitty to steal.
What did he mean by this?
fucking quote websites .
>>7713281
yeah he's definitely right. We both should tolerate the extremes of both sides and since we don't we live in a fractured and hostile society and it's really shitty.
>>7713308
>yeah he's right
>he's wrong though

Dear /lit/,
Since I'm not a native speaker, I'd like to improve my English. Have you got any suggestion of books to read? Nothing too hard, but at the same time nothing too easy/childish.
Thank you.
pic kinda related since I'm Italian
>>7712368
Gibbon and Hume. Hemingway if you want "plain" American, Thomas Hardy if British.
>>7712401
Not considering Hemingway, wouldn't they be too much archaic?
By Hemigway I've only read The old man and the sea, is there anything in particular I should start with?
>>7712423
No, their English is probably the most beautiful high English I have ever read.
Churchill's History of the English Speaking People is another good one.
For Whom the Bell Tolls is my favorite Hemingway.
