>Also, you're really funny in the talkshow appearances you imagine yourself in as a acclaimed author
Heh, it's as an acclaimed musician but yes I'm glad we're all thoroughly autistic/lonely enough insofar as we have nobody to talk to sincerely

102:2.8.Again, there are other types of unstable and poorly disciplined souls who would use the sentimental ideas of religion as an avenue of escape from the irritating demands of living. When certain vacillating and timid mortals attempt to escape from the incessant pressure of evolutionary life, religion, as they conceive it, seems to present the nearest refuge, the best avenue of escape. But it is the mission of religion to prepare man for bravely, even heroically, facing the vicissitudes of life. Religion is evolutionary man's supreme endowment, the one thing which enables him to carry on and "endure as seeing Him who is invisible."

5:4.3.God is not only the determiner of destiny; he is man's eternal destination. All nonreligious human activities seek to bend the universe to the distorting service of self; the truly religious individual seeks to identify the self with the universe and then to dedicate the activities of this unified self to the service of the universe family of fellow beings, human and superhuman.

5:4.4.The domains of philosophy and art intervene between the nonreligious and the religious activities of the human self. Through art and philosophy the material-minded man is inveigled into the contemplation of the spiritual realities and universe values of eternal meanings.

Cool thread, anon. I just finished the story and, reading it after just having read Canetti’s Auto da fe, was a refreshing experience.

This is the first Salinger’s work I read. I downloaded the complete Nine Stories in muh kindle. Do you recommend the other 8?

yes, you might be like Kubrick et al., hate school, hate being ordered around, but energies pour forth when you’re free to follow your interests
it’s like a firecracker v. nuclear bomb
Derek Bok is another one—when he got to law school, energy and endless focus just poured forth

Yes it does. "Transexuals" essentially wouldn't exist if porn wasn't as prevalent as it currently is. Notice how the rise of transsexualism is directly correlated to the rise and accessibility of porn?

They are literally linked, Porn causes "transexuals". Stop watching porn and after several years you will be normal again, I promise.
