Give me 10 reasons RIGHT NOW for why oral culture is superior to written culture.
>>17648229then i can only ask what you are doing on /lit/ instead of sitting outside and shutting up
>>17648233Redpilling you.
One other thing I will note about oral vs literary culture, which I have often encountered in my study of religious texts, is that the meaning of words changes over time, and a "living" line of oral transmission maintains understanding of changing language better than a written text.I have encountered this problem as an English speaker studying Sanskrit, Pali, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, etc, hundreds or thousands of years after a text is written down. I simply don't have the "cultural awareness" to recognize that a word has changed meaning between such-and-such text and another in the same language five hundred years later, and because of the "cultural disconnect" through time, wherein I am trying to interpret a culture through the very narrow lens of the literature they left behind, it is almost impossible to correctly understand what was written. The more I have tried, the more I have realized that it is a little bit "hopeless" to think you can accurately interpret a text thousands of years old from a completely different culture.Here is an example which springs to mind: in studying Buddhist texts, one comes across the term Nirvana a great deal, which I'm sure most of you are familiar with. A common definition you might find of this word is "extinguishing" or "blowing out," (nir- "out", va- "to blow"). In English, this conjures a very specific image that makes Nirvana sound nihilistic, as if the soul is being extinguished. However, through the oral tradition of Buddhism, by questioning a monk about this issue, he explained to me that in the classical Indian idea of the elements, the element of fire could be said to be latent at all times within a candle or matchstick. When a matchstick was struck, the flame would become "bound" to the match in manifestation until the exhaustion of the fuel, and when the flame exhausted the fuel or was blown out, the flame would become latent again. In other words, it would become "unbound" or liberated from the matchstick.

>>17648258But friend, that is one of my chief interests in this world.
What are some books that can be considered "Lynchian"?
Those who give Shakespeare the esteem of one of the greatest poets of all time are in the same vein as those who favorite the Beatles. Piero Scaruffi's infamous critical analysis of the Beatles can easily be applied to all art forms and literature is no exception.
>>17648266Are you that schizo spic who has been shilling his anti-Shakespeare narrative for months now? Get a life dude.
>>17648287No. I'm an Aryan chad who frequents /mu/, I have no idea what you're talking about.
>>17648298Oh, well at the very least you're in the same vein as that loser schizo spic. Right?
Why do so many kids hate Freud? He's right. He always was right.

How the fuck do you write an action/fight scene?Any advice?
You do research, anon. Before the director of the Revenant filmed the bear mauling scene with Leonardo DiCaprio, he watched (honestly) every bear mauling video he could find. Authors often do similar things. If you want to write action scenes, look up who are regarded as great action writers and read some of their scenes.I've only read a little of his stuff, but I know Sanderson is considered a master of those sorts of scenes.
This is a faggy answer, but read action scenes.

I'm reading Euthyphro now, and let me see if I understand this.Let's say I have a glass in front of me. If I look at the glass, it is a seen thing. So it is me who changes the glass into a thing seen.The glass is not a seen thing, and therefore I see it. So things become changed, not because they are changed things, but because something changes them.And this is Socrates argument for why what is loved by the God's is not the same as what is pious. What is loved by the God's, is not loved because it is loved in itself, it is only loved because the God's love it. So therefore God's love things that are pious, but it is not the God's love that makes something pious. It is pious in itself.I'm more challenged then I thought I would be, maybe I'm just a brainlet, but I'm trying to really engage with the text as much as I can and make sure that I truly understand what is being said.
>>17647749I'm not saying this is a bad thread. It's just that reading your posts makes it feel like you expect us to spoonfeed you the right answers and tell you what is important to read and dive into and what not. That's not how any of this works.
>>17647824Thanks, I will. Going to start Crito soon and look forward to it slowly ramping up. I have already read the symposium before with my girlfriend. >>17647831I don't know what I expected, but I got a mix of great replies and some shitters saying I got filtered etc. I learned a lot from it though, who to feed and who not to feed.
>>17643037>I honestly didn't expect these kind of replies, and so many so fast. Guess I just got a little disappointed because I was genuinely excited to try and argue some genuine philosophy on here, instead of just shitposting in another thread without purpose.kys shit nigger if you want good soi points switch to fucking reddit. Either you post what you have to say here like dumping a log into a pot and accept whatever splash hits your ass or you fuck off. Nobody is entitled to get jerked off here for his opinion
>It is by being changed that something becomes a changed thing, not vice versa.Wow Socrates how insightful. Is this all philosophy is? Holy shit. If I write a book saying the sky is blue will people likewise worship me as the greatest philosopher?
>>17642864The point is the structure. Where is this from??? did you come up with this, good way of putting it
If you opened a book and it began like this:>HOOO NOOO ROOO SOOO DOOO NOOO ROOO YOOO ROOO FOOOHow long would you keep reading before giving up? Would you be willing to read entire pages of that before just throwing in the towel? Wouldn’t you always be afraid that the book was going to get good right after you stopped reading?
>>17647037If I bought it, I would read the whole thing. That's how we did things back then. Papa only gave me 80 cents after I broke my back doing chores. I didn't have the money to "give up" on a book.
>>17647071 Based hard worker
>>17647071>I couldn't afford to have standards for my timeSad
>>17647037Depends on context. If Borges started a story that way, he'd tie it all in in a genius way. So, if there's a referential, then yeah. But, most likely the case: it's just bland sound poetry written by some creep.

Books about slowly going crazy?
>>17648083my diary desu
>>17648083I have borderline paranoid schizophrenia. Shutters Island pretty well nailed what it's like to descend down the type of conspiracy that got me that diagnosis, after I broke down and got sectioned in a mental health facility.
>>17648167Was a girl involved, or was it more a parental malign influence?
Any anons here that has younger siblings and anxious of their future?
I was but I gave up on him.
>>17648188He gets upset after everything I say, like really emotional, it's pathetic. We have a group chat with the family and are all trumpers except him and call us racists and shit if we have any opinion outside the box. I would put him in his place at first but after a while you just realize a guy is irrational and looking for attention, even if it's bad attention. I hope he gets better and becomes a man but there's nothing a can do about it. A grown man hysterically crying and going to his parents over political conversation is not something you want to see
>>17648151fuck them and fuck their future. those passages where main character praises his fucking siblings are worst dreck I've read in a long time. sentimental shit. fuck his whole family.
>>17648151It's kinda doomed
It is impossible for a book such as The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged to be "critically acclaimed" from critics or academia. Not because they are somehow "poorly written" or are "philosophically flawed", but because you cannot have a right-leaning book (in the sense of individualistic and self-respecting) be praised by mostly left-leaning judges. That's why critics hate it and the average, real-world-living person recognizes them as literary achievements
>>17646867one is an author stand in, monologueing for fifteen pages straight, and the other is a life-hating death cultist whose only rebuttal is "this doesn't FEEL right"^ really this should be pointed out way more often, it's like the exact opposite of the religion debate in brothers karamazov
>>17646867>work of moral philosophy has character that represent ideas BAD!
>>17648106>other is a life-hating death cultist whose only rebuttal is "this doesn't FEEL right"that's most people's response to economic issues. It's a simple fact that price controls and rationing do not work and lead to worse results. There is a limited number of flashlights in a certain state, If during an emergency you let flashlights rise to their natural price of say $400 based on supply and demand, bob may buy 2 flashlights for him family to share, if you force them to be sold at 3 dollars he's going to buy one for each member of his family and other people will miss out.
>>17648119then... economics badthank you all for coming to my reenactment of most of the debates in atlas shrugged (and possibly the sex scenes too because I fucked you good)
>>17646773Rand never advocated for the destruction of the family unit.Never wrote anything about race in her books.>Claming pride in things or actions of people that you have never interacted with and only share the melanin percantage in your body. She tells people outright to not wageslave their lives away.Seems to me like you didn't read a single page of her, but just watched some rightwing faggot talk about her.
