>>14306677Camus is a total meme>Just be a nihilist bro only it's not nihilism because like DUDE ABSURDITY LMAONo respectable philosopher pays any attention to him whatsoever.
>>14307335>>14307526Camus is one of the few authors whose works really can just be reduced to statements like these. Pure trash.
>>14307533>>14308141Lmao @ newfags trying to fit in. If he wasn't a meme with college hoes you would be sucking his dick along with Céline.
What do you guys think about Hemingway's iceberg theory?
>>14308078That's just subtext and isn't an original idea.
>bro I swear TSAR is a good book, you just have to read the words I didn't writeit was cope
>>14308244lmaooo
There is no one right way to write a book. What makes Hemingway good is he had a philosophy of aesthetics undergirding his writing. His style is consistent, and there is purpose behind it. It works and he is one of my favorite bread and butter writers, though he’s not the best or brightest, you can learn a lot from reading him.
>>14308078Personally I liked his shotgun theory better.
>he thinks he can be a good author>he isn't severely mentally ill

How many pages should one read a day?
>>14307673How new are you that you that you think butterfly is comes from /pol/?
>>14307967Yes, it's me. however, I remain homosexual.
>>14307609>More like how many books?
>>14309004But I mean your posts definitely seem less pig dog bullshit than before. But not by much :*
>>1430760950-100 pages or 1-2 hours depending on your speed. If you read too much I actually think it can be counterproductive, especially in modern times, we can’t digest it as well as people used to. I know Flaubert used to read 6-8 hours a day basically.
Post your favorite poem or really any poem you like that fits in a 4chan post. I can never settle on one favorite but right now I'm liking "To a Waterfowl" by William Cullen Bryant, 1818. Whither, midst falling dew,While glow the heavens with the last steps of day,Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pursue Thy solitary way? Vainly the fowler's eyeMight mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong,As, darkly painted on the crimson sky, Thy figure floats along. Seek'st thou the plashy brinkOf weedy lake, or marge of river wide,Or where the rocking billows rise and sinkComment too long. Click here to view the full text.

What future awaits all languages of the world that aren't English?
>>14307186>Adopting english words.>Transliteration of english words.Already happening, a pretty common process in language history, doesn't destroy a language.>More people learning english rather than native.Probably will never happen.
>>14307058english is the new proto-world.
>>14307058>>14307186Actually it's the reverse.English is becoming the new global polyglot.It's becoming muttified, simplified, a kind of pidgin.
I don't think that an Anglophone country will continue to dominate the world for long enough for English to totally supplant the local language in many non-Anglophone countries. I think as we head towards a multipolar world we're going to see the rise of other lingua francas like Chinese, Russian and maybe French or German among others.
>>14308869Any actual linguistic evidence for this supposed recent simplification? Keep in mind, English is already a pretty fucking simple language compared to most other European ones. No declension, comically simple conjugation, no diminutive or augmentative, very rigid and limiting word order... and its origin is a mess too, a (devolved) germanic language whose larger part of the vocabulary is actually of romance origin. Talk about muttification and simplification.
I’ve noticed that my attention span has become noticeably reduced. I can no longer read difficult philosophical works as quickly, and sometimes I just can’t read them at all. What is happening to my brain? Is the coomer meme real?
>>14306366xd I know but how the fuck do I sleep when I get fucking horny
>>14306465This.I can't fucking do anything productive because this shitty online game has enslaved me with its fucking delicious drop rates and fun high stakes gameplay, or when I am doingnsomething else it is on youtube watching cheap fast content until the day passes and I didn't fucking work out
>>14309416>I can stop any time I want!
>there are people here who go based on 4chan bro-science rather than actually doing the research themself

>When Gilgamesh rudely rejects her offer of marriage, an enraged Ishtar goes to her father Anu, threatening to raise the dead so they eat the living, unless he allows her to use the Bull of Heaven to kill Gilgamesh.Is Gilgamesh the ancient Gigachad? He literally rejects the goddess of love, war and sex.

>>14307474She was also a bitch. Only their common brother Utu wasn't an asshole.
bump
>>14307498Remind me again how she was bitch? She seems to be always on the receiving end of something bad. >gets kidnapped as a girl by the dragon Kur>forced to be stuck in the underworld for all eternity after her uncle fails to save her>underworld is a worse version of the above world >first husband (the bull of heaven), dies repeatedly every summer >first husband killed by sister one time for giggles>sister tries to conquer her kingdom and succeeds in taking some of her power in the end>second husband (Nergal), insults her emissary/son, bugs out after a 7 night stand, and then forces her into a co-ruler agreement.>Also second husband maybe the son of her sister and brother At least she gets to be the Queen of Humanity.
It's been years and /lit/ cant still give a decent answer>inbx retards saying why do you assume nothing as the natural state of thingsBecause entropy read a book

>>14307305The question is absurd.There is something. There is nothing. You don't have to pick.
>>14307405Why would there be something?
>>14308812You just outed yourself as an embarrassing moron, but you already know that.
>>14307305Because if there was nothing we wouldn't be around to talk about it now would we?
