Originall written in the 70s updated slightly in 94. He takes a bunch of contemporary exegesis and makes a lay summary of it. Might be interesting to fans of Kierkegaard

I don't know anything about this Wallace guy. Will have to look into it.Scumfucker wrote:caldwell.the.great wrote:reading The Idiot. Moving slowly. Enjoying it very much. I like Dostoevsky's psychological depictions; the way Natasya Filipovna is portrayed is absolutely brutal. All youthful force and stormy egotism. Awesome.
I read an awesome essay on dosteovsky by David Foster Wallace. It's in one of his collections. He explains how much writing has evolved and how nobody could possibly do what dosteovsky does because melodrama was once acceptable and now is not after the self consciousness of postmodernism.

Excellent review, bored. 8.5/10Gunny wrote:Nazis: A Warning From History 9/10
So yeah, its based on a documentary. However, I am one of those that find things much easier to digest when interpreted from print. Very insightful, very knowledgeable, and more than a tad stressful. Where's that Krieg guy... explain yourself, fucker.
Ok, so not all Germans are bad, and not all Nazis means the world harm. Whatever, damage done. I think there's a passage in the Bible about the sins of the ancestor fucking up the afterlife of the descendant. Maybe not. You guys don't know... Either way, shame on you assholes.

Sartre too eloquent? You might be the first person I've ever heard say that. He's certainly idealistic.Morpheus wrote:Since it looks like another year of part time work and dossing about for me, I've decided to read as many books as possible. I tried reading Sartre's 'Being and Nothingness' but it was too eloquent, I couldn't understand a lot of what he was trying to say, but besides, from the other things I've read by him he seems like an idealistic romantic, so maybe it's better I stay away for the time being.
I'm currently reading Liberty by John Stuart Mill. After that I'll try Descartes, Kant and Locke, and then on to Hegel and some of the postmodernists.

oh ! sorry man i haven't read that one in a lot of years.father of lies wrote:riley-o wrote:what ?father of lies wrote:So like (Riley? Anybody?)SPOILERSPOILER_SHOWIS HE EVER FUCKING AWAKE GAHSPOILERSPOILER_SHOWI'm trying to figure out if there is a particular thread of "actual" reality anywhere in here. Is his memory in cryosleep of Rybys being such a bother and noticing that her dome is filthy his actual memory? Or is Belial's influence on Earth bleeding through like the music and tainting all that has gone before? If Yah can turn Zina's world into the real world...? The apparent rise of Harms and Bulkowsky in Zina's world surely has to do with Belial's anticipation of escape? During the cop encounter, is he perceiving Belial bleeding over into his mind as still being asleep, because he's asleep but not in cryosleep? To actually defeat Belial, don't they need to actually restore him to the Godhead? Fuck!
