Countenance the verb is gay, countenance the noun is based. Know the difference.
Is there an online video of Zizek at the south bank centre on July the second?
>>8249548
Not as far as I can see, but there's a few other recent videos on the same general topic of Europe/Brexit.

And sho you see *shniff* the European Union is really the totality of all inverted ideology, the *shniff* body without organsh in sheer metaphysical form

It was one of his better talks, he made some interesting points about power and how it functions today but the bit on brexit wasnt as good, wasn't bad though.
Redpill me on Jane Austen and the Brontës /lit/.

My gf studies Enlish and totally loves Janes Austen. I think they're great make-out movies and I find them hilarious because they remind me of that TV-show from Max Payne. I'm sorry that I'm an uncultivated pig

This book
Why does /lit/ have such an enormous hateboner for this book ?
It's not just /lit/; have you ever been in the real world? I've never met anyone that thinks highly of The Great Gatsby. Even as far as forced high school curriculum goes, it's far worse than The Lord of the Flies, Catcher in the Rye, Of Mice and Men, and To Kill A Mockingbird.
>>8249461
Yeah I've noticed people calling it shitty
What I wanna know is their arguments, since no one ever goes beyond the "it's shitty" from what I've talked with people
So I asked here
Why don't you personally like it, anon ?
>>8249441
>marathoned
>chapter is literally like less than ten pages long.
How do I motivate myself to read more? I enjoy reading but I can only go for about 40 pages at a time and I have a hard time getting started. I wanted to use the summer to burn through my to read list but I've yet to finish a single book.

Eat less processed foods and sugar. Get more sunlight and fresh air. You will find your ability to concentrate on reading is improved. Your comprehension should also benefit.

If it's impossible to understand life, then what value does trying to understand anything has?
>>8249343
You should learn the value of proper grammar.
All my life, false and real, right and wrong entangled.
Playing with the moon, ridiculing wind, listening to birds,
many years were wasted seeing the mountain covered with snow.
This winter, I suddenly realize snow makes a mountain.
>>8249346
I question the value of proper grammar.
Post the personal things you've written out.

What do you all think about the continuity of consciousness and the nature of human identity considering the past and future are just functional markers utilized by our minds?
>>8249299
Stop reading nonwhites they give stupid opinions like the tripe you just wrote out.
>>8249340
I believe the continuity of consciousness is a pretty big topic within western philosphical circles.
Buddhism has some pretty accurate assements about life imo
>>8249363
I've noticed while tripping on acid that I can relate to Buddhist ideas easier, but they amount to the same things written by Western philosophers. Specifically Nietzche's idea of eternal recurrence.
What are some books that deal with sexual promiscuity?Can be from both spectrums, and/or from a positive and negative light.
Nymphomaniac from Lars von Trier is about sex-negative feminism

ROBOTS GATHER 'ROUND
All women these days take over 500 dicks before they leave high school while I'm forced to be shunned forever because I'm a genetically inferior male.
And they talk about 'male priviledge'? Give me a fucking break.
