A shame, the world being an archipelago instead of a generic fantasy climate seemed like makings for great lore
>>7429544
Maybe
You have 30 seconds to refute Stirner's The Ego and His Own.You can't. All your "counterarguments" are spooks.
>>7429496
i don't wanna refute it
Spooks are spooks
>>7429496
the creative nothing is itself a spook
the reification of the ego is spook as fuck
the distinction between non-ego and ego is spook
I don't know whether this topic is relevant enough to /lit/, but might be interesting to discuss.
What does /lit/ use to help them read/write more and better?
I mainly use cigarettes, vape, coffee and tea. Pretty standard really.
Lately I have been trying out some kratom. Mostly white sumatra and green malay in portions of 4-6g with some redosing 1-2g after 1-2 hours. It works pretty well I must say. It has a slight opiate effect (so you feel warm and fuzzy) and at lower doses also a nice mental stimulating effect. Feels pretty good if you have to work 10+ hours on something and feel backpain and such.
Tried to work a few times on assignments with some alcohol but that just doesn't work for me.
So anybody here using uppers or downers? Combinations? For what tasks? Formal texts? Creative writing?

coffee + weed + some nootropics, other drugs are not necessary
Get your appropriate rest, read what intrests you, use the tangerine technique, and take incremental breaks every half or so. Best way to learn and comprehend anything.
I've tried most classes of drugs; some might give you inspiration for various sorts of writing but really the best way to go about it is >>7429484 but perhaps with the right mix of nootropics (not including modafinil) for you. Eating well is also important.

"4chan circumscribes a systemic, self-sustaining inter-reaction between diverse bodies and minds who, stripped of their ontic qualities, engage in a metadiscourse based on conceptual absurdity and culturally-transmitted, discrete units of information that take on the latent qualities of those through whom it is transmitted."

Books about science and/or farms. Preferably both.
Novels? Poetry?
Anna K is a good place to start. Lots of farms and old sci. Or do you mean science fiction?
>>7429311
Idek novels about farms, poems about farms. The science thing is secondary.

Post your novel blurb here
Some people abandon each other but don't know why. Others keep seeing their doppelgangers. Siblings fall in love. A woman predicts her own death.
It is true that most people think, but do not admit, that sperm tastes better in the afternoon. But one day, one brave free thinker forced an entire retirement home into doing a week long experiment that proved the matter ones and for all.
That's not what this book is about though. It's about hamburgers.
it's like a choose your own adventure but for people who want to fight

There's plenty of heroin and gay sex too.
Yeah, totally /lit/.
It's up to the administration whether or not you get access to books or writing materials. If you commit a bad enough crime or if the warden just wants to fuck with you, you'll be stuck sitting in a concrete box for years with no reading materials at all. Some prisons don't even have libraries.
Pretty sure any prison library won't have anything worth reading.
What is lit's view of the philosophical pessimist author Emil Cioran?

What have you done today to increase utility?
>>7428924
I wish the bastards who founded this idiotic ideology just committed suicide because it would be the closest they could get to fulfilling their principles.

You seem angry anon, I'm sorry to say, but that's decreasing utility.

Enslaving a minority for the majority is A-OK.
