I thought this would be interesting, it's a list of books Stephen King listed in his book "Danse Macabre" that he thought were the scariest books written from 1950 to 1980.

I see dead people-
Mangled sex;
fucking corpses.
Jumbled texts,
over the sky tops.
Drove my corolla down
the white suburbs to hoboland,
took my knife out and
shanked a bitch,
methed up, heroin heroi.

I couldn’t tell when I started,
I always dropped people on a whim
drowned myself in the creek,
that sort of thing.
Deep-down the needle stick
I think I know
I think I do.
‘Fuck the world’
And my sloppy dick
Is in another orifice,
and like the rapids down the river,
my cum shall gush.

i read and loved Brothers Karamazov, notes from underGround, Crime and Punishment and Demons - but what the fuck is this??? i've tried to read it twice and I get so bored. it's not even about a gambler it's about a beta cuck who gambles for a woman. you could replace the gambling with literally anything else and it would be the same. fyodoro dostoyevsky's The dishwasher

why is this praised?

"This radiation can be observed only when the beam of emission is pointing toward Earth (much the way a lighthouse can be seen only when the light is pointed in the direction of an observer), and is responsible for the pulsed appearance of emission"

If i took out the comma from the sentence would it change the meaning? I mean would the pulsed appearance of emission refer to the radiation instead of the beam of emission?

I'll probably be shit on for asking this, but for those of you that follow a particular faith, do you ever write things that would be seen as against it?

For example, if you believed in some deity, would you feel strange to write about a setting where that deity doesn't exist, or is killed by some other deity or even man?

i didn't get this book. not because i couldn't follow what was going on, but because i rarely knew what I was supposed to feel post-part one. i enjoyed it best for the various scenes unrelated to arturo and lima

My parents discovered my copy of The Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra while over at my place and discovered that I had worked on it.

I haven't let them read it but they're eager to do so. How long until they realise what I've done?
Have any other co-authors had their family discover this shame?

40 KB,

Are there any good books that provide a broad overview of different epistemological systems? Perhaps something that also addresses philosophy of science?

I'm wondering because I am uncomfortable with purely positivist approaches to knowledge that assume we have unmediated access to truth.

On the other hand, constructivist and postmodern epistemologies seem completely unsuited to rational inquiry and argumentation in the real world. For instance, I really don't feel like adopting a construvtivist view of knowledge if I'm debating with an anti-vaxxer, or someone who doesn't believe in evolution. I really want to be able to point to (capital T) Truth, in those instances.
