How is this a lie? What does it even mean? lol

>the idea that startups actually have done anything at all when the majority of them never produced a profit and a majority of those never brought a product to market
Moldbug never claims many of them produced a profit or a product. In fact he claims the opposite.

>that the modern equivalent of the Viking raiders or Teutonic armies is the Silicon Valley startup scene
Never said this as far as I know, post proof/context.

>, that the Dimes Square scene isn’t cringey and shitty
Moldbug would agree with this.

All in all I'd say you failed to name a single lie of his, which is embarrassing, because there's a good many you're clearly too dumb to actually recognize.

>Neuromancer filters so many people
Yeah, there isn't a single post in this entire thread that couldn't have been typed by a bot. It's genuinely sad 'people' want to share an opinion, when they don't actually have one. It really goes to show, mass literacy was a mistake. These proles should be tilling the fields, instead they are shitting up this board.

969 years. The joke here, since you are clearly very unintelligent and need it explained, is anyone cans anything on the internet, so I'm Methuselah obviously, why not? It's no less true than your comical facade which in fact only reveals your dilettantism.

Go on, say anything original for the first time in your life and prove you've actually read the things you pretend to be so 'above' and 'expertly' about.

Jesus /lit/, don't quit your fucking dayjobs.

>/lit/ helped me realize Christianity is true
I think you misunderstood the books you read

Because we don't actually read the books in question.

I completely stopped effort posting ages ago because no one reads them and instead replies to the same derivative meme and bait and coom and pol bullshit day in and day out.

>implying pol reads anything
>implying you've read Evola
>implying you aren't more pol than Evola fags could ever be
Sad but true.

>buy a copy of Infinite Jest at the airport bookstore
>can't board with it because it's too heavy for hand luggage
>security confiscates the book because it might be used as a bludgeoning weapon

Best books to read out loud to your gf?

Going on a road trip and she wanted something for us to take turns reading.

holy fuck this board has actually been taken over by straight prince of nothing spoilers and posts. im super hyped cause it seems like a cool series with demons and lovecraftian horror mixed with fantasy which is basically everything i want from a book but goddamn have we ever done this with anything else?
i wouldnt be surprised if sales have actually climbed a bit since /sffg/ started shilling it
the only other time ive seen this was with dfw and infinite jest back in 2015

>What they want to hear is that a [genotypically and phenotypically male person, who suffers from severe delusionality] is literally a [genotypically and phenotypically female person] No amount of "I have [mentally ill] friends" or "I don't hate [the mentally ill]" comments will matter. Is it that hard to understand?
It’s not hard to understand, it’s hard to justify

You've got the DFW disease. The only solution is not to care, and you can achieve it through two ways: accept the smugness of your writing and actively try to sound as smart as you can; or realize that there's no problem in being a smartass once in a while and just carry on. Both solutions involve personal honesty. You sound confused, as if you don't know the reason to why you're writing in the first place. And it's ok even If you are actually doing it in order to be perceived as an intellectual, searching for acceptance and all. Just you just need to continue writing.

>“Do you know, I am filled with a strange uplift; I feel as if all time were echoing through me, as though all powers were mine. I know truth, divine good from evil, right from wrong. My vision is clear and far. I could almost believe in God. But,” and his voice changed and the light went out of his face,—“what is this condition in which I find myself? this joy of living? this exultation of life? this inspiration, I may well call it? It is what comes when there is nothing wrong with one’s digestion, when his stomach is in trim and his appetite has an edge, and all goes well. It is the bribe for living, the champagne of the blood, the effervescence of the ferment—that makes some men think holy thoughts, and other men to see God or to create him when they cannot see him. That is all, the drunkenness of life, the stirring and crawling of the yeast, the babbling of the life that is insane with consciousness that it is alive. And—bah! To-morrow I shall pay for it as the drunkard pays. And I shall know that I must die, at sea most likely, cease crawling of myself to be all a-crawl with the corruption of the sea; to be fed upon, to be carrion, to yield up all the strength and movement of my muscles that it may become strength and movement in fin and scale and the guts of fishes. Bah! And bah! again. The champagne is already flat. The sparkle and bubble has gone out and it is a tasteless drink.”
Do you consider this well written?

Do not read Harry Potter to your kid. Not unless you want them to grow up to read Stephen King.
