I'm writing one right now actually

I'd do it but I'm scared that my knowledge from reading them might come really close to what they're actually doing and make them freak out and force them to check me out and probe my anus
so what i'm gonna do is write a satire on sexuality how reptilians are the ones fucking like crazy while real honest human beings try to be monogamous/sexually restrained
If I write really high-tier science fiction, will I be able to marry a bunch of my humble followers daughters too?

Mormons write only mediocre or shit tier fantasy and sf, like OSC and Sanderson.
But you will get a shitty wife.

If OP is 18-22 he still has a chance of finding a pure Mormon qt, after that you're fucked though

Virginity and virtue are two very different concepts.
Also sanity.

ITT: Memes and philosophy
>>7728631
what's the difference?
Philosophy IS a meme
thought it could explain the universe without studying it, then got replaced by science, now a sad hollow husk of its former self.
To quote the Youtube commenter Edward Jones:
Principia Mathematica > Tractatus
Jail for war protest > shooting Tommies
Pugwash Confederence > slapping kids
Banging loads of chicks > sucking dicks
Organised arguments > oracular assertions
High society > cartoons and pork pies

How did you get the idea for this thread, OP?
I dont come here often, so if this is against the rules i'll delete the thread.
I'm looking for a book I read in the late 90's, genre fiction fantasy.
The major points that stood out in the book were:
everyone is capable of magic, this magic allows them to create night-black materials, like housing and clothes, temporarily.
there is a rising amount of people being born with blue skin, these people are more aggressive and eventually migrate to form their own society and country
the two countries have a war, and it's established...

i forgot to mention but the blue people are people born without souls.
Have any authors suggested how to combat overpopulation while maintaining civilization?
>>7728581
Read some data for once
The phenomenon that caused European population to decrease will happen to other populations once they industrialise.
Realistically we just need to improve technology to accommodate the new demanding markets efficiently, so we don't suffer from worse things such as climate change.
Eventually we might actually have the problem of a worldwide decreasing population, and I don't see a solution to that
the two prevailing themes in science-fiction are interstellar colonisation or maintaining a fixed population, IE one born for every one that dies.
Are there any free Amazon ebooks that are worth checking out?
Every ebook is free, dumbass.

What type of writing do you find to be completely unappetizing and awful?
For me it's anthropology. I have never read an anthropology paper or book that isn't brimming with jargon and ideology in every single sentence.
>>7728394
Type or style? Like sometimes i find sorta descriptive writers like updike and similar let their words get in the way of the story.
>>7728430
Anything, really. Just any class of writing that bothers you. Let it all out.
Proofs, corollaries, and scholia. Axiomatic stuff just makes my brain shut down.
>I bet I could throw a spear over them mountains
would have done good in the Iliad
The basement left no impression, yet was objectively terrible. Black and yellow checkered carpet. The walls were the wrong shade of dark green. There is no right shade of dark green, but among the various wrong ones, this was wrong. Other than that, old, unmatched furniture and exercise equipment.
Comfortable couch.
So how often does shit like this get posted? It has a certain insanity to it, yet its that insanity that is just out of reach. Attainable my a night of missed of sleep, not completeyly off the deep end.

Their Eyes is such a peculiar book. It's like 2 separate ones, diametrically opposed. I don't know why it's rated so highly but it is curious.

What's the best way to read this man's works?
I've heard of his stuff being riddled with typoes. I've heard of one of his friends ( forgot the name ) publishing/republishing his stories after adding significant changes to them, thus ruining them. There's versions on top of versions on amazon, some don't have all his stories. Some have the typoes. Some of the books are pieces of shit that have pages falling out and binding falling apart after days.
Is there a definitive way to read me some lovecraft? I'd hoped there was a book...

Do your own research. It'll be good for you. I promise, little bird.

I recommend reading The Brave New World now and then going for some Hannah Arendt, for thoughts in generally related directions and enjoyable reading.
