> Because so many writers have commented on Ulysses, you can use it as a sort of test. If they say the book isn't good, or that they couldn't read it, then they aren't worth taking seriously as a writer.
>
> There's a list of them here.
>
> I like Hemingway's comment from one of his letters:
>
> Joyce has a most goddamn wonderful book. It’ll probably reach you in time. Meantime the report is that he and all his family are starving but you can find the whole celtic crew of them every night in Michaud’s where Binney and I can only afford to go about once a week.
>
> Gertrude Stein says Joyce reminds her of an old woman out in San Francisco. The woman’s son struck it rich in the Klondyke and the old woman went around writing her hands and saying ‘Oh my poor Joey! My poor Joey! He’s got so much money!’ The damned Irish, they have to moan about something or other, but you never heard of an Irishman starving.

Hyperian cantos by dan simmons book

That T-54 tower guarding the sea... It's like straight from Strugatsky's book 'Обитаемый остров'/'Prisoners of Power'. Collapsing state, supposedly enemies everywhere, mind control over society... That book was prophecy

i’m reading 'The Goal' and it’s possibly the most autistic novel i’ve ever read, it’s pages and pages of infodumps on how to efficiently manage a factory, it’s the most beautiful thing i’ve ever seen book

book

Yakitori: Soldiers of Fortune is one of the most shockingly honest depictions of being in the imperial core I’ve ever seen. Earth was conquered by an interspecies East India Company, and humanity’s best shot at a good life is being elevated into one of the ruling class races. Book

William Barton, 'When Heaven Fell' is roughly this in written form. Book

Michael Crichton predicted a lot.

State of Fear & Next are quite relevant today too. Book

The Camp of the Saints
book\
The Camp of the Saints (French: Le Camp des Saints) is a 1973 French dystopian fiction novel by author and explorer Jean Raspail.[1][2][3] A speculative fictional account, it depicts the destruction of Western civilization through Third World mass immigration to France and the Western world. Almost forty years after its initial publication, the novel returned to the bestseller list in 2011.[4]

Stand on Zanzibar, sci fi masterpiece from the 60s by John Brunner

kind of unbelievable how he nailed the spirit of our time in the 2010s/2020s from way back then. the tech, culture, corpo-geopolitical tensions. feels like every specific he missed still has a parallel in today book
Nice! I've wanted to read it for many years but have never been able to tune into it. Brunner's later Shockwave Rider is one of my fave novels and I also think it's unbelievable how much of its spirit still resonates.

“tuning in” is the right metaphor. he writes in these fragments sometimes that are meant to be absorbed more than they are meant to be read. but it’s powerful how vivid those few words can be, like he’s taking you on a video tour through his/our world in the span of a page

“The Cult of Intelligence” by Victor Marchetti, executive assistant to CIA director Allen Dulles when he hatched the plot to kill Kennedy. I’m thinking about recording an audio book of it, I have a good voice for it. Book

Book anyone who thinks that she is the problem here and not the entire system around her needs to read making of the atomic bomb. "interpersonal savvy" is a symptom of decadence and why so little gets done, epochal science is done by scheming autists trying to one-up each other

This might be the best Romanian novel ever written. It's up there with Dostoevsky's masterpieces, as Cioran said upon its release. book
And I'm someone who read Dostoevsky (and Tolstoy) religiously in highschool, and tasted Balzac, the common inspiration of both Dosto and Eliad, who is himself famous for having novels with epic scope. book
Read Elevul Dima first, it will whet your appetite book

Pynchon wrote his first novel about how sus Boeing was (he worked there). He changed the name to Yoyodyne.

The name comes from "yoyo", a repetitive motion, and "dyne", a unit of force -- it "symbolizes the destructive force of sameness and artificially structured order". Book

Read this. It's short and extremely compelling. Nietzsche considered it one of the gems of German literature. Book

You're right, but Karl May's Western novels basically cemented the concept you've described. "Old Shatterhand" was Harry Potter-level popular in Germany back then, you can't discount May's influence book

Bonus: The Carlos Castaneda books about mystical Amerindian desert adventures in the US & Mexico were hugely popular, too.

One of the most underrated writers out there. DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE is one of the best novels about America I've ever read book

>>> If you really want to learn about Japan, study Confucianism. Which is the basis of Asian thought since 500 bc.
In short: Everything is about loyalty and family. You should give your all to your overlord, no matter the cost.

I really fucking hate these weebs. They don't know shit. Japanese are the most racist people that exist. You will NEVER assimilate. You always be a 'big nosed barbarian'. No matter what you do, how well you speak the language or how you act. Japan is not for you, only for them.
Second, you will not be able to bear the workload. You are much to spoiled. We are not wired to take that much shit, we will revolt and become violent.
Go read your countryman Karl van Wolferen's book "enigma of Japanese power" for a less romanticized version of the way things work.

Any bookstore owner or librarian can tell you stories about communists coming to their store or collection and demanding works be removed because of XY or Z... Most universities no longer carry any works of David Irving, once the most prominent historian in the world. And I've heard from bookstore owners the Entire genre of westerns is now under attack (racist against natives) and an increasingly large swath of Bookstores now don't carry them for the hassle these dysgenic freaks and caricatures straight from an Ayn Rand novel will give them.

>>> Read Max Havelaar. The situation is pretty much the same. You are getting screwed on both ways. (in the book the 'peasants' had to keep ancient traditions and give pledges to their native nobles AND be slaves to the dutch colonial system both at the same time).

I even believe that situation is worse than the 19th century slave system in the Antebellum south.

> Have you read the Structure of Magic books? Their basic premise covers the fundamentals of what you are describing with words and hypnotism. I believe they studied a psychologist named Virginia Satyr and she had an uncanny ability to make people feel better by using gestures.
I remember the book focused on how people reveal the most in the words they don't pay attention to. There are a couple more books that followed after it, but I haven't read them.

> The sad part is that he read it in audiobook format, which has been heavily edited and has had all of chapter 15: 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion' removed and memory holed. If you can find the unabridged version, you're in for some good times....but just be forwarned that once you start cross-referencing and researching his claims, you're really going to start going down some rabbit holes to which there is no return. Best wishes.
>
> P.S.- Because the audiobook is so good, and the way he narrarates it is amazing it's unfortunate that chapter 15 is missing, but what you could do is maybe listen to the book until you reach the missing parts and then read those parts and then go back to the audiobook.

Atlantis and the Antediluvian World - Ignatius L. Donnelly. Specifically first edition 1st through 11th printings. Later versions were (((censored))).

Its early work but its in large part been proven correct over the century and a half since being written. Humanity likely didn't reach our pre-flood development until the European renaissance or even later. Very key to understanding how and why "out of Africa" was invented and why the powers-that-be are terrified of humanity rediscovering our true history.

>Resistance to Tyranny- Joseph Martino
>The Tactical Advantage -Gabriel Suarez
>Total Resistance -H. Von Dach
>Citizen Soldier- A Manual of Community Based Defense
>Fry the Brain - John West
>On guerilla Warfare -Mao Tse-Tung
>Guerilla Warfare -Che Guevara
>150 Questions For A Guerrilla - Alberto bayo
also books by

>William Lind
And remember than just being a soldier isn't enough, you'll need a strong ideological foundation, public support to some degree, and compatriots that won't rat you out when things get hot. The left side of this book list should help.

Canticle fucks, love how much of it *feels* like if Fallout 1 was written as a novel with all the wit/characters. That and the way civilization rebuilds in the backdrop over wars and industrial development to the end was way more refreshing than perpetual Mad Max book

> “No, the Boss corrected, I'm not a lawyer. I know some law. ... but I'm not a lawyer. That's why I can see what the law is like. It's like a single-bed blanket on a double bed and three folks in the bed and a cold night. There ain't ever enough blanket to cover the case, no matter how much pulling and hauling, and somebody is always going to nigh catch pneumonia. Hell, the law is like the pants you bought last year for a growing boy, but it is always this year and the seams are popped and the shankbone's to the breeze. The law is always too short and too tight for growing humankind. The best you can do is do something and then make up some law to fit and by the time that law gets on the books you would have done something different.”

Book list ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Orwell’s 1984 (published 1949), Hersey’s The Wall (1950), Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), Chambers’ Witness (1952), Miller’s The Crucible (1953), Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 (1953), Golding’s Lord of the Flies (1954), Pasternak’s Doctor Zhivago (1957), and Shirer’s Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (1960)

Christopher Lasch’s The Culture of Narcissism

Tom Wolfe’s essay “The ‘Me’ Decade and the Third Great Awakening,” and Robert Bellah and his coauthors’ sociology of American religion

Habits of the Heart

1950s— The Lonely Crowd, say, or The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit

William F. Buckley’s God and Man at Yale in 1955

Allan Bloom’s The Closing of the American Mind in 1987

I just finished reading Anna Karenina while everyone else was reading tweets. Dostoevsky said: “Anna Karenina is sheer perfection as a work of art. No European work of fiction of our present day comes anywhere near it." William Faulkner said it was the best novel ever written. Novels were invented by Europeans in the 1700s -- for they reflect the deeper, introspective, psychological depths of Europeans. Book

Read "That Hideous Strength" by Lewis. It's every bit as prophetic and disturbing as Brave New World or 1984, but focuses on the dangers of Scientism. That book will explain it better than I could ever do. book

Sun-Tzu's THE ART OF WAR is a powerful guide for those who strive for success.
MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, so rich in similes and subtle shadings, is a contemporary classic.
Anna Pavord's THE TULIP offers an expressive history of the unique flower that changed global economies through the ages, accompanied by lavish and memorable botanical illustrations that bring the flower to life.
Finally, John Berendt's MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL, now a perennial on the bestseller list, is notable for its intensely charismatic central character (who is equally compelling alive or dead) and its extensive details about high and low life in Savannah.

>>> >>A secret society meets once every three years at a small diner in West Virgnia.

To join, you must come to the American Grill diner located in Cricket at 9:30 PM on September the twenty-first. The only uniform is a heavy overcoat and a green tie.

Order an "Eggs and bacon platter with coffee." The waiter will tell you that the breakfast menu is unavailable, reply, "Well, just the coffee then." You'll be allowed to stay after closing time for the meet.
The meeting itself is a meeting of minds and philosophy regarding immortality. The society is called "The Socratic Method." They hoist their mugs at the beginning and end of the meeting and say "Death to Socrates."

It's rumored a little hemlock is added to the first cup, and an antidote to the last.

A little odd, given hemlock has no antidote.

> For when we sincerely lived with the possibility that the power of man, unconstrained at last, could achieve anything in this new world: Moby Dick and Blood Meridian.

In manufacturing, this is known as the Theory of Constraints. Popular books such as The Goal (for manufacturing) and The Unicorn Project (for software) have been written to show how common it is in the business world, and how to solve the problems it poses.

The concept of godshatter comes from a story by Vernor Vinge, A Fire Upon The Deep (spoilers below). Vinge’s setting has the universe segmented into “zones of thought”: close to the galactic center, only very simple thoughts can form and almost no technology functions. Further away, more complex intelligences and technology can emerge; the extreme fringes of the galaxy are the playgrounds of super-advanced AIs book

Book t boggles the mind that there is not a modern rendition of The Count of Monte Cristo, or Kidnapped. Either would be excellent.

Stand on Zanzibar, sci fi masterpiece from the 60s by John Brunner

kind of unbelievable how he nailed the spirit of our time in the 2010s/2020s from way back then. the tech, culture, corpo-geopolitical tensions. feels like every specific he missed still has a parallel in today book
Nice! I've wanted to read it for many years but have never been able to tune into it. Brunner's later Shockwave Rider is one of my fave novels and I also think it's unbelievable how much of its spirit still resonates.

“tuning in” is the right metaphor. he writes in these fragments sometimes that are meant to be absorbed more than they are meant to be read. but it’s powerful how vivid those few words can be, like he’s taking you on a video tour through his/our world in the span of a page

-Burton on ME ethnography & Jews
-Many David Irving books, though he distributes copies himself

(Camp of the Saints and 200 Years Together as well, though not for long)
Seth Klarman’s Margin of Safety was passed around like it was worth its weight in gold book
There are other books so strongly “banned” that most people don’t even know they exist.

Burton’s treatise on the Stodatic Zone and his works on Middle Eastern ethnography, for example.

Only known copy of the latter is locked in a private collection, closed to all viewers
Other books are “soft banned”

A good example was My Confession — the original was out of print and going for $1k+, but there was a sanitized, edited version at a normal price point

Similar things happen with translations and “annotated, modernized” editions of classics

[Message 75] Biographies. Lots of people have asked me lately what I think of "Biography". I think it's the hardest genre to write in, and 99.5 percent are awful, but here are five that I think are indispensable.

1. Jefferson and His Time (D. Malone)
2. Some Sort of Epic Grandeur (M. Broccoli)
3. Eliot and His Age (R. Kirk)
4. The Years of Lyndon Johnson (R. Caro)
5. Bedford Forrest and His Critter Company (A. Lytle)

Network to community leaders. Formulate your goals for meritocracy. Set into motion building communities, exiling undesirables, and build up militias. The hardest part and your make or break moment will be planting a mole in the CIA. If you can't infiltrate the CIA it's over. But you have the best shot at doing this over anyone else because you're non-white.

Sun-Tzu's THE ART OF WAR is a powerful guide for those who strive for success.
MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, so rich in similes and subtle shadings, is a contemporary classic.
Anna Pavord's THE TULIP offers an expressive history of the unique flower that changed global economies through the ages, accompanied by lavish and memorable botanical illustrations that bring the flower to life.
Finally, John Berendt's MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL, now a perennial on the bestseller list, is notable for its intensely charismatic central character (who is equally compelling alive or dead) and its extensive details about high and low life in Savannah.

Kids also need modern practical stuff about great men (& the petty conspiracies that fill gaps between them) to not give up on pursuing heroism. So add Carlyle “On Heroes & Hero-Worship,” Woods “The Influence of Monarchs,” Srinivasan “Americana,” H-du-B Reports, & Michelle Malkin book

o problem anon, don't get too caught up with the fringe elements of NatSoc. The book I recommend from Ellul is Critique of the New Commonplaces, The Technological Society and Propaganda, these will give you a basic understanding of our current society. He is influenced by Marx, but don't let that cloud your judgment of him, always be open to reading ideas that might be considered "leftist" because this dismissal of Marx and the Frankfurt school as the ultimate evil of the Left has made conservatives intellectually lazy, you don't want to fall in the trap of the National Review crowd. James Burnham's Managerial Revolution is also a must read for understanding this new society we are in. And remember to hide your powerlevel. Don't stop reading, instead of shitposting read a book, you'll understand once you explore this recommended reading, your grasp of society and social change will be much better. Also frogtwitter and Kantbot are great. AutisticMercury.com Don't get too depressed though!

There is a book called “Strategic Relocation”. I covers a lot of these possibilities and U.S. areas that have potential to get nasty.

It uses facts across key social and political factors and uses historical context (Like the Germans pillaging civilians along the Audubon ahead of the Eastern front as it collapsed into the heart of the country) to give context to the assessment and it does it for every U.S. State.

It’s a fantastic, data rich publication for war gaming the “what-ifs”. Book research

One Second After is also an excellent look into the effects of an EMP, which is much, much more likely than a civil war. The US EMP Commission believes North Korea has one or two “super EMP” weapons in orbit over Omaha six times a day disguised as weather satellites. Book research

Alas, Babylon", by Pat Frank, makes a fair guess at how this might go down. Rural America will need to be prepared to defend itself, and it won't be easy. Book

> There was a book by a pretty well known current author (I always have a hell of a time finding him/it on google, but I think he tends to write non-fiction about subcultures and cultural fears) where he set out to write about all of these really disparate conspiracy theory cults (The Black Israelites, doomsday preppers, stuff like that) but then realized that in the end all of their conspiracies were almost identical, so he pivoted and focused on what they alleged.
>
> He has a great chapter about following some nutjob out into the desert because he claimed he knew where a secret meeting of the global elite was taking place. So he's sitting out there, hidden, waiting for hours watching some hotel in the middle of nowhere through binoculars and suddenly limos start arriving and rich, powerful people start getting out of them. It was a meeting of the Bilderberg Group. And the author is like 'Holy Shit, this stuff is real!'
>
> And the next chapter starts out with him finding out they have a press agent and aren't really hiding the fact that rich people get together and see how they can help each other (and themselves) get richer and that is what The Bilderberg Group does. And he's like 'Oh yeah, this is the least surprising, least shocking thing imaginable. It's a business meeting. It's exactly what the prepper alleged, but described in different terms it's entirely pedestrian.'.
>
> He also snuck into Bohemian Grove and it was more of the same, but for leisure rather than business.
>
> Anyone know what book I'm talking about?
>
> Edit: Found it! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1823.Them

> 'Them: Adventures with Extremists' by Jon Ronson
(Webpage Title: Them: Adventures with Extremists by Jon Ronson | Goodreads)
> It sounds like Them by Jon Ronson. Goes into Ruby Ridge, the Bilerberg Group and Bohemian Grove. He describes the book in the introduction as "a shapshot of America on September 10th, 2001" and a lot of it is that 1990s heydey-of-conspiracy stuff.
Edit: BTW, it's the guy who wrote 'The Men Who Stare At Goats' and 'So You've Been Publicly Shamed'.

>>> Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vennegut is a good fiction book to read which addresses this subject.

Radicalized is a collection of four short stories by Cory Doctorow, and the last one is explicitly about building a bunker for the collapse of civilization and how to pick who to let in. And also the really important question of when you actually go and lock yourself in. Book

https://archive.ph/PtiwC Adam Konantovich blog A reference to an outdated russian internet meme - "Kurchatov's Strait", a proposed sea between Canada and Mexico (presumably created using nuclear weapons, as Kurchatov was "the father" of a soviet atomic bomb) that would exist in a perfect communist world. I spiced it up a bit, adding "Kurchatov Capitalist Preserve" on the insular remainings of the US, as well as not one, but two competing communist world states. I also lowered the global sea level, as to fill some areas water must retreat from others. Not exactly, but if you havent read Nick Sagans trilogy Idlewild - Edenborn and Everfree I higly recommend. Dune from Frank Herbert is a cool take as well, not focusing so much on human modification in genes and augmentation but education and harnessing skills

Twilight knew that she was relatively unique among ponies in that she actually found bureaucracy to be an incredibly fascinating area of study. It was a trait she shared with her brother and which she was fairly certain had been a significant contributor to her family’s rapid ascent to Celestia’s patronage. Where the rest of high society might drink or take in a play, evenings often found her and Shiny sprawled out on the floor of one apartment or another surrounded by flow charts and civil codes, tracing the path of particularly important decisions through different ministries and inking in suggested improvements to the process.

That, though, had been back in Canterlot, where the engines of policy were vast and beautifully complicated things upon whose continued smooth operation literally millions of lives depended.
friendship is magic redux

Twilight strode confidently forward brandishing the paper in her telekinesis and summoned up her best Buck Bower impression- she wouldn’t say that she legitimately enjoyed the jingoistic serials that had become disturbingly popular as of late, at least not in the way their authors had intended, but she had to admit it was great fun to sit down with Spike and Shiny over a long weekend to pick apart their numerous tactical, historical, and magical inaccuracies.

Literary Taste: How to Form It book
One day I will write the essay about how almost all ideas of "western civilization," "great books," and "conservative tradition" from 1950 forward are down stream of secularized Jewish scholars who, for several centuries in Europe and several key decades in America, created these concepts to find a spiritual and cultural home. Explicitly rejecting their Jewish heritage, but in turn rejected from both the national (read: Germanic) traditions of Western Europe as well as from "Christendom," they turned instead to the idea of the "west" grounded in the worship of ancient Greece.

In the case that Lyman highlights, we have this idea that western democracy/egalitarianism/proto-liberalism are the children of "Athens and Jerusalem" instead of the Things, Hustingers, and Lawspeakers of the germanic tradition.

There are many other omissions that flow from the "western civ" narrative and its worship of the ancient Greek.

The real question is whether he ever engaged the actual literature of elite formation. Not the sociology of who rules, but the cultivated arts of men capable of ruling. Castiglione laid out the full program in 1528. Gracián went further in 1647, three hundred maxims on discretion, timing and reputation management, the kind of thing Schopenhauer kept on his desk. Before either of them there was Plutarch, whose Lives the old public schools assigned not as history but as a formation manual. How character sustains or destroys a man under pressure. These are what old families quietly hand down. Eton was not built to produce scholars. It was built to produce governors

I'm not quite sure my reading took off until I noticed there was a pattern in nearly all the canonical works, which gave me a filing cabinet to store memories for all further reading. Before that, it was all just reading without a goal, and so memory was even bad. That pattern for me was eleusis, which I found out was the garden of Eden, which I found out was the tripartite relation between man and woman and God. Eleusis is political which is man and woman. Garden of Eden is theological and political. Really this is the central nervous system of it all. Without it you're just floating on a raft in the ocean. Read the Greek Canon because they all encrypt it differently. Read everything with Hercules in it extant. Read the wife of Bath's Tale. A third of Shakespeare's folio is about it. Tennyson's idylls of the king, but it's as hard as hegel.

Baudelaire book research

Karl May is extremely underappreciated in America. One of the greatest authors of the Western. Old Shatterhand and Winnetou are absolute classics. Yet despite the many adaptations of his work, he's just never gotten big in the United States. It's kind of surprising to be honest. Book research
He's widely influential in Europe yet he has little to no relevance in the U.S. Louis L'Amour is still the most popular Western author. One would think Lex Barker would have been a huge draw for Americans but I guess not. Something I can't really explain
Karl may is mandatory for eastern euro youth

I had a student at the U of Montana several years ago, Matthew Eck, who wrote his first novel about serving as a Marine in Somalia. (He also participated in our freaky "invasion" of Haiti -- remember that one?) He told me he'd concluded he'd fought in those places to create chaos, not end it.

I believed him. I believe him even more now.

The novel is called The Farther Shore. It's up there with the work of Tim O'Brien as an evocation of weird modern warfare. Get it.

This is like reading Asimov's Foundation trilogy where in one chapter Hober Mallow meets the hereditary Siwennan technician of a nuclear substation who can not explain the workings of the station but just performs the rituals to keep the station working.

>>> To summarize: keeping some activitythat led to meeting new people (like hobbies). Not shying away from many failures/not losing faith. I have only one life, being scared of being hurt all my life sounded dreadful.

I tried a few hobbies before finding one that I enjoyed, including dance (was too out of shape), magic tricks, and camping (surprisingly many women do that one).
But as I didn't connect with people well nor took enough interest, eventually I came back to my old hobby that is SF literature.

Going to some science-fiction festival where many enthusiasts enjoy talking about their passion there. Utopiales was one of those.
After a conference about Ursula K. Le Guin, during the Q&A, that girl asked the host a loaded question that I disagreed with. So I debated with her after whether The Left Hand of Darkness was a Type-1 or Type 2 in SF (Glossarial Works vs Culturally Linguistic Workds). It was fun nerd talk and banter, even if we clearly both were socially awkward. We kept contact and now live together. We're both nerds I guess, who prefer to enjoy indoor activities.

But all this is anecdotal, the truth is I tried and failed many times to talk to new people before that. Sometimes, rarely, I got a friend though I suck at keeping them, ideally if you manage to have a circle of friends you enjoy hanging out with it makes everything much easier. Well not me, I fail at enjoying going outside.
But eventually one of those "meeting new people" worked out to her, just had to handle failure to connect many times.

The story is “Primary Education of the Camiroi” by R.A. Lafferty. There is a sci-fi story I once read about a human ambassador in an alien society. The aliens use Sortitions (random appointments) to manage their affairs, the human asks how can their society function like this? and the answer is that the average alien is just so competent he can manage practically anything. It's notable that the ancient Athenians also relied on sortition as the primary method of appointing officials. Book research

Young relative tells me Beowulf isn’t the hero because Grendel was misunderstood by the noisy & close-minded people who thus kind of deserved to be eaten. Fun take—but it’s because he was assigned summaries of it which assume that the homicidal uncivilized monsters must be decent John Gardner’s Grendel is the best version of this: over 50 years ago, it parodied such mindsets so well that modern wokies who don’t even read it assume that it was entirely sincere, so they can scold bright charming energetic young boys to plug ears & look down noses at heroes.

Paul Fussell is an awesome writer. His book the Boys Crusade was a great WW2 memoir. Stark and honest without the romanticism

The book was about trying to make Thor Heyerdahl into some kind of Nazi by focusing on his most outlandish views but was thus unwittingly extremely interesting. Basically his theory was that some larger islands existed by the Azores, which they are now the only remenants of. The islands sunk into the sea because it was at a trijunction of tectonic plates moving apart, giving birth to the "pyramid civilization" scattered across the equator. IIRC Heyerdahl claimed to have confirmed this by matching carbon dates of trees sunk into the Silfra crack in Iceland with corresponding dates from the bible, pyramids, myths or something
J. R. R. Tolkien, in a letter to W. H. Auden, 7 June 1955:

In any case if you want to write a tale of this sort you must consult your roots, and a man of the North-west of the Old World will set his heart and the action of his tale in an imaginary world of that air, and that situation : with the Shoreless Sea of his innumerable ancestors to the West, and the endless lands (out of which enemies mostly come) to the East. Though, in addition, his heart may remember, even if he has been cut off from all oral tradition, the rumour all along the coasts of the Men out of the Sea.

I say this about the 'heart', for I have what some might call an Atlantis complex. Possibly inherited, though my parents died too young for me to know such things about them, and too young to transfer such things by words. Inherited from me (I suppose) by one only of my children, though I did not know that about my son until recently, and he did not know it about me. I mean the terrible recurrent dream (beginning with memory) of the Great Wave, towering up, and coming in ineluctably over the trees and green fields. (I bequeathed it to Faramir.) I don't think I have had it since I wrote the 'Downfall of Númenor' as the last of the legends of the First and Second Age.

Not really, no. I'm not a good editor. I've got four people who clean up each chapter's punctuation. My grammar is functional, but punctuation is a mess. I don't much do criticism, either. I learned what I like and awful lot of what doesn't work from watching my own development and other writers.

At the end of the day - and I hate to say it because it sounds trite as fuck - persistence and a willingness to squash your own ego are basically the two most important things about being a writer. Imagination helps, but 90% of what I wrote was cribbed from something else. I literally stole the 'weirdo living train' from Final Fantasy. Hard Boiled is just Humphrey Bogart. Taxi is a combination of a couple people I know personally whose lives are super fucked up. Swift is a caricature of the 'eager newbie' at every job I ever worked. Limerence is my ex.

Your sense of self is 'who you are'. It's skills, hobbies, knowledge, connections to other people, sense of place in the world. It's a feeling of connected-ness that transcends momentary discomforts.

Your ego is fear, anxiety, and the belief that you're the most important thing in the world. Your ego is the big monster. Your ego avoids confrontation. It screams at you to 'BE BETTER' then never tells you what better is. Ego says 'IF YOU AREN'T PERFECT, WHY TRY?!'

Kill ego. Drown it. Bleed it. Feed it to tigers. Hunt your self-importance down and shove it into a woodchipper. It's unhelpful to anyone and everyone. Ego is death...and worse than that, ego is writer's block. I did a whole heap of magic mushrooms to get rid of mine, but after the first time when I could identify where the little beast lived and what it felt like to have my ego in the driver's seat...then suddenly not...I could chase it down wherever it rears its ugly little head.
Depression is shit, too. You can't write with depression. Do WHATEVER is necessary to get out of depression if you're depressed. Quit your job, move to the woods, fuck a lemur...whatever. I had to work part time, have zero social media, no cell phone, and cut off 95% of my family to get away from it.

You get one life. Wasting it on an unwillingness to be confrontational with yourself or to have your own needs met is essentially suicide with extra steps.

Fun story, the HP Lovecraft story about rural incest monsters was inspired by him visiting a part of rural upstate NY where I lived for many years. Incest was and still is a serious problem in parts of Schoharie County, and I had some patients with grandpa dads. It apparently used to be much more widespread and stood out even back in the good old days. Not really a conspiracy theory but still neat

The terms "mistpouffers" and "Seneca guns" both origin in Seneca Lake, NY, and refer to the rumble of artillery fire. James Fenimore Cooper, author of The Last of the Mohicans, wrote "The Lake Gun" in 1850, a short story describing the phenomenon heard at Seneca Lake, which seems to have popularized the terms.

You should watch that show Years and Years by that globohomo faggot Russell T. Davies. It's a blueprint and it's going to happen. You might be housing those who just happen to be (((displaced))) out of Yorkshire first, due to some false flag sewage plant explosion or whatever. I hate this gay country.

“Madness is usually just a reasoning whose comprehension follows a structure we do not understand,” Slip Stitch chuckled, squishing a couple of crumbs that’d found their way onto his doctor’s coat. “In this case I think it’s not because it’s illogical, but because a very, very big mind is the only one who can hold all the bits and pieces at once.”

Stilgar, Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah quote

A fact which cannot be disputed is the weakening of human beings in the West while in the East they are becoming firmer and stronger. Six decades for our people and three decades for the people of Eastern Europe; during that time we have been through a spiritual training far in advance of Western experience. Life's complexity and mortal weight have produced stronger, deeper and more interesting characters than those produced by standardized Western well-being." Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Harvard Speech on the Decline of Courage (1978)

"I think if you were Satan and you were settin around tryin to think up somethin that would just bring the human race to its knees what you would probably come up with is narcotics."

“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door...”
― Jean Raspail, The Camp of the Saints

“In trying to free myself from these tormenting appearances, I tried to concentrate my thoughts on some peaceful, quieting scene I had witnessed. This would give me momentary relief; but when I had done it two or three times the remedy would begin to lose its force. Then I began to take mental excursions beyond the small world of my actual knowledge. Day and night, in imagination, I went on journeys — saw new places, cities, countries, and all the time I tried hard to make these imaginary things very sharp and clear in my mind. I imagined myself living in countries I had never seen, and I made imaginary friends, who were very dear to me and really seemed alive.

“And let me tell you this: our higher senses are so blunted, we are so drenched with materialism, that we should probably fail to recognize real wickedness if we encountered it.” ― Arthur Machen, The White People

When the devil asks you dance, always say never!
Because a dance with the devil, will last you forever....

This is the best book on Russian Literature. Nabokov said the same. It will get you 80% of the way to “getting it”, even if you don’t know Russian and never intend to learn.

> My last semester at a certain college I was assulted by a football player for walking where he was trying to drive (note he was 325lbs I was 120lbs), while unconscious on the ground I lived a different life.
>
> I met a wonderful young lady, she made my heart skip and my face red, I pursued her for months and dispatched a few jerk boyfriends before I finally won her over, after two years we got married and almost immediately she bore me a daughter.
>
> I had a great job and my wife didn't have to work outside of the house, when my daughter was two she [my wife] bore me a son. My son was the joy of my life, I would walk into his room every morning before I left for work and doted on him and my daughter.
>
> One day while sitting on the couch I noticed that the perspective of the lamp was odd, like inverted. It was still in 3D but... just.. wrong. (It was a square lamp base, red with gold trim on 4 legs and a white square shade). I was transfixed, I couldn't look away from it. I stayed up all night staring at it, the next morning I didn't go to work, something was just not right about that lamp.
>
> I stopped eating, I left the couch only to use the bathroom at first, soon I stopped that too as I wasn't eating or drinking. I stared at the fucking lamp for 3 days before my wife got really worried, she had someone come and try to talk to me, by this time my cognizance was breaking up and my wife was freaking out. She took the kids to her mother's house just before I had my epiphany.... the lamp is not real.... the house is not real, my wife, my kids... none of that is real... the last 10 years of my life are not fucking real!

> The lamp started to grow wider and deeper, it was still inverted dimensions, it took up my entire perspective and all I could see was red, I heard voices, screams, all kinds of weird noises and I became aware of pain.... a fucking shit ton of pain... the first words I said were "I'm missing teeth" and opened my eyes. I was laying on my back on the sidewalk surrounded by people that I didn't know, lots were freaking out, I was completely confused.

> at some point a cop scooped me up, dragged/walked me across the sidewalk and grass and threw me face down in the back of a cop car, I was still confused.
>
> I was taken to the hospital by the cop (seems he didn't want to wait for the ambulance to arrive) and give CT scans and shit..
>
> I went through about 3 years of horrid depression, I was grieving the loss of my wife and children and dealing with the knowledge that they never existed, I was scared that I was going insane as I would cry myself to sleep hoping I would see her in my dreams. I never have, but sometimes I see my son, usually just a glimpse out of my peripheral vision, he is perpetually 5 years old and I can never hear what he says.
>
> EDIT (24 hours after post): never though anyone would read this, I changed a line so that it no longer seems that my 2 year old daughter bore a child.
>
> I have never seen Inception or the Star Trek episode so many have mentioned (but I will eventually)
>
> I will not do an AMA
>
> I've had many PM's describing similar experiences and 3 posters stating such experiences are impossible, I'd say more research needs to be done on brain functions. Pre-med students, don't assume you know everything.

You need to pay actual attention to the people around you to do this in the first place. Everyone and everything can be good material, from specific interactions you witness or become part of to just general behavioural patterns that aren't usually represented in media.

Driving on a mountain road, gravel and dirt full of ruts, took a cut back to quick, car slid half way over a cliff tiling back and forth, four people in the car, me and the guy in the passenger seat can't get out, hanging over the fucking cliff, if two guys in the back get out car is going over the cliff. Sit there in the car shitting actual fucking bricks for like three hours and it's getting dark. Some old dude in a beat off old pickup comes trundling down the mountain from the logging camp up top chains onto my bumper and pulls us back. Smoke a fatty with the old guy and give him a couple of beers.

Several times when I was younger and doing a lot of stupid shit I had guns pulled on me, always talked my way out, once bought some weed from this paranoid meth tweaker, pulled a shotty on me, fired one off into the wall beside me b/c he thought I stole his $20 (turned out it was in pocket), thought I was done for but talked him into checking his pockets.

Once me and a few friends were hiking in the Smokies, got chased by a bear, lucky no one got mauled.

Was a kitchen manager at an Outback for a year after college, general manager got us on this work release program to get a tax break, as the manager I had to deal with a parade of losers carted through my kitchen, none of em lasted more than a couple weeks. This one crackhead named Eric, thought he was real gangsta (skinny little white boy), wouldn't work at all. I rode his ass like a $5 whore on Saturday night. One night I talked all kinds of trash b/c the little prick wouldn't lift a finger, he picked up a 12" chefs knife and came at me. I caught the knife with a pair of tongs and punched him in the face with me free hand. Two of the line cooks grabbed him, dragged him out back by the dumpster, beat him senseless. His parole officer showed up next day having a fit, the entire kitchen staff testified to her that he tried to kill me and we stopped dealing with the work release BS.

A blizzard hit the town I lived in during college over spring break, it's a college town so, spring break, it's a fucking ghost town. My electricity and water were out had to hike two miles through waste deep snow to get to a friends apartment who was still in town. the road to his complex was built on a berm that dropped off steeply to each side of the road. Due to snow drips it was hard to tell exactly where the road was, fell in a drift about 12ft deep thought I was dead for sure, dug my way out but almost froze to death.

> >You will never be a real genius. You have no photographic memory, you have no prodigiousness, you have no insight. You are an average man twisted by accelerated prefrontal cortex development and government-inflated math test scores into a crude mockery of intellectual perfection.
>
> >All the "homework help" you do is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back no one thinks you're "the smart quiet kid". Your parents are disappointed in you for turning out average, your teachers laugh at your self-aggrandizing, desperately verbose essays with their colleagues.
>
> >Real geniuses are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of academic erudition have allowed prodigies to verbally break down frauds with incredible efficiency. Even gifted kids who end up above average are mundane and frustrating to a real genius. Your lack of any acumen in a serious field is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get published in an academic journal, real scholars will turn tail and bolt the second they get a whiff of your circuitous, blathering communication skills.
>
> >You will never truly grasp any subject beyond a high school level. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and think about your straight As in Algebra II, but deep inside you feel the imposter syndrome creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
> >Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with no title to your name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a midwit is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a worthless valedictorian diploma.
> >This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
