/lit/ - Literature

Copywriting seems like a comfy job where you get to work from anywhere and pays half-decently.


Anyone here a Copywriter?
How do you become one?
How do you like it?

Philosophers that talk about Biological Determinism, and how varying hormone levels greatly affect your perception of reality, even when you do not strive out to align yourself to certain values?
-
I notice a lot of writers that have really deem opinions about life, and existence tend to be people that are suffering. This pain taints their works, and their reasoning, even those who seem to claim to be rational (Kafka) (Nitezche).


Specifically.
Any Philosophers that have gone out of their way to take microdoses of LSD, and Inject Testosterone as a way to see how changing their biological homestatic state, even if temporarily, affects their perception of reality, and world view?


Thanks

Are Bhuddist teachings anti progress?

>Let go of attachments
>Stop giving importance to things

>Never obsess over anything, or do not let yourself suffer

Why? Suffering is what fuels success. The most productive, and happy I've been on my life, ironically was as a result of having a psychotric breakdown after taking Marihuana, I was in so much mental pain, that I could only distract myself from the pain by taking a hobby, so I started drawing. I made more progress in 6 months of that, then I had in the previous 5 years of my life.
I felt so in control seeing progress so quickly.


My argument is that Meditation, and Buddhist teachings are actually going to stagnate you in achieving stuff you want.

>A large number of studies have demonstrated that people can know information without having any contact with what they have learned about. From the 1880s to the 1940s, there were 142 published articles describing 3.6 million individual trials with 4,600 people attempting to identify the number and suit of a playing card face down in front of them. In addition, ESP tests performed on the radio added 70,000 participants to the database. The studies were performed at over two dozen universities around the world by hundreds of respected professors.36

>The result was that participants were, on average, able to identify the cards at rates higher than chance. They knew information they could not have received unless their minds were able to obtain it without using the body. The results prompted Professor H. J. Eysenck, chairman of the Psychology Department at the University of London, to write in 1957, Unless there is a gigantic conspiracy involving some thirty University departments all around the world, and several hundred highly respected scientists in various fields, many of them originally hostile to the claims of the psychical researchers, the only conclusion the unbiased observer can come to must be that there does exist a small number of people who obtain knowledge existing either in other people’s minds, or in the outer world, by means as yet unknown to science.37

I don't know what you mean. What I'm saying is that some of these leftist postmodern thinkers like Baudrillard or Deleuze seem, in some ways, to be more conservative and traditional than today's so called "right wing". Their postmodern criticisms of modern society and capitalism and liberalism and so on seem to be actually rather conservative.

>Why is Saul of Tarsus (pbuh) so hated by bugmen?
I didn't know that he was. What did he do that they don't like?

There is beauty in God's mystery. It is not knowing that makes this life wonderful.

Needless to say, the psychopaths at the top of the pyramid are trying to manifest Hell on earth.

If you had what we call in table-top games, Spirit Sight, you'd be able to see the spirits and souls of shadow and the dearly departed lamenting over the nightmare life on earth has become. They are all around us.

The shift in the RAJAS of the world will afford to those, pure and virtuous enough in spirit, body, and mind, literal superpowers to offset the severe evil taking place. The RAJAS shift is coming very soon.

The best (and I mean relatively) place to occupy during the coming cataclysm would be the middle east.

RAJAS = world aether / dimensional manifestational energy

All of the worst of our entertainment is going to come to life, but all of the best of our entertainment is going to come to life.

Basically, anime will become real, and at the culmination of it all, will be the return of the Christ.

Reminder that Zizek is /lit/ and Peterson is reddit.

I like Jung but Peterson is a neoliberal hack fraud.

What are some books about being better than everyone else? I can't stand other people. They're so dull and tedious and gross. They make me feel nauseous. I wish I could just seclude myself alone in my room forever.

Are there any books about a man who loses his mind and falls into a deep dark pit of mental illness but eventually makes a slow and arduous recovery and starts to get his life back on track

How do you make a strong, good character interesting?
