WTF??? It's one thing for an individual to get this idea, there will always be utter weirdos of all factions, but so many people giving so much money???
I'm pretty pro identity politics -- like to the degree that I avoid using 'retarded' as a slur even on 4chan -- but this just boggles my mind.

>During Thoreau's day, it was commonplace for writers to use the word "men" when referring to humanity as a whole. The frequent reference to men – when he really means people – in the original text might be jarring for some readers.

Reminds me of with Huck Finn, replacing "nigger" with "slave". What the fuck? Jim is a nigger, and he's trying to run away from slavery. From being property. When you call him "slave" at every time, you make it that he is a slave and always was and is property. And that's just accidentally ironic because the people who destroy literature like that are absolute idiots.

Not him, but a person ought to have the right to put whatever chemicals they choose into their bodies, regardless of effects on health and thoughts. If they choose to think of themselves as female/male, then it's polite to refer to them as such; just like it's polite not to mention physical deformities (AFS, ugliness, wrong number of toes, ext) or mental deformities. (Autism, Dissociative Gender Disorder, HPD, ext)
>>7714428
If a person insists they are a dog and you should refer to them as 'here boy!' would you do it out of politeness?
What if you were doing a survey and an ethnically Japanese man insists he is of immediate African descent, what do you write down?
>>7714466
For the first example, if I thought they were serious, yes I'd refer to them as a dog. It's polite, and it costs me nothing.
For the second, no. Being polite isn't a priority when it comes to science. Accuracy is important academically, socially though, anything goes.

But, like, the modern reader--i.e. the hipster doing the Kickstarter--might not get some of the language used. The modern reader--i.e. the male feminist beta doing the Kickstarter--just doesn't understand Latin. The modern reader--i.e. the nu-male likely to get convinced to enter into an open relationship who's running the Kickstarter--just might be confused and possibly upset by gendered language.
I'm glad someone is finally making a version that will speak to the modern reader such as the guy running the Kickstarter who is likely to convince himself that he is bisexual when no woman touches him but will never know a man's touch either because he's not actually bi.

So silly, do you have no standards of judgement for anyone or how people ought to act in a society? Substances have severe consequences that undermine judgement of the individual and likely harm the community. This assumes people have an exact understanding of what the chemicals will do to them. Most often people underestimate the power drugs will have over them, and yet you give them a nod as if they are agents of their own destiny.

Again: it's not like the original is going to go away, and even if you're given the choice, it's not as if you'll be forced to read the "new" version, or that the "new" version won't be clearly labelled so you can't tell it apart from the original. Nobody will ever force you to read the "new" version, either.

It's just a generic warning that the publisher puts on old texts. They did the same thing to their edition of the US Constitution, as Fox breathlessly reported a few years back. It's really a non-issue... it just seems very out of place when applied to Kant's Critiques. Same warning on Huck Finn or Naked Lunch has a different meaning.

Half the reason Thoreau is so charming and fun (and also annoying) are these many-clause sentences. Our "editor" has decided it's best to give each one an independent sentence, and remind the (dumb modern) reader what the subject is so he doesn't get distracted or confused and post Thoreau quotes on Facebook instead.
I hope this doesn't become a trend. It's disgusting. Neuters the writer, shits on his ideas. Id rather people not read Walden at all than read it in this "form".
>>7717456
The thing that's so outrageous about this particular example is that Thoreau himself explicitly defends reading Homer in the Greek, to such an extent that he says something along the lines of ~he who has not read Homer in Greek has not read him at all~.
The chapter "Reading" is an argument for classical, deep and careful learning. It's absolutely obvious from the themes in this chapter that Thoreau would totally oppose this sort of thing. And the idea that "English has evolved" (since the mid 19th century?!?!??!!!) to the point where an edit like this needs to be made is infuriating. All that's happened is that people have become dumber and lazier.
>>7717472
I would understand an adaption of the Canterbury Tales, because that is reasonable. But it's just cultivating laziness, ignorance and fearfulness to do this.

I agree. This fuckwit says he "Read Thoreau in 2014 and it changed my life." No other qualifications apparently.

>I just want to confirm that this project is indeed satirical. I find it difficult to fathom why someone would simplify and greatly change sentences in modern English and repeatedly insist they are not dumbing down the text when that is clearly what is happening. That makes for an excellent critique of those who refuse to put any work into reading, and are incapable of reading a dictionary or a footnote. It's a tragedy that a satirical piece like this needs to exist, and speaks to the sorry state of the intellect of the modern reader.
Even though I find the satire interesting, I think it is unethical to take people's money for it.
But this did make for a good laugh, and the amount of work you put into it is commendable.

>have you not interacted with mentaly (sic) ill people before? That is exactly what you do, you go along
No you fucking well do not.
I mean YOU might as you're a fucking retard but no responsible person would in any situation that actually required one to care about their health or wellbeing. No one with any experience of actually mentally ill people beyond Alzheimers would ever reinforce delusions or psychoses. Not agreeing with them isn't the same as fucking harassing them, agreeing with them.
This is literally the stupidest and most dangerous thing I have read on here today, I literally wish that I could reach through the screen and strangle you, you unspeakably worthless cretin.

We're talking about literary censorhip here. Germans just released unabridged Hitler book, so that does not compare.
