That the Buddha is a shit-wiping stick. Pay attention, anon.

there's two large camps of people: one has dudes saying that if you ever get lucky to have one woman who genuinely loves you, you must do whatever you can to not squander it away because it's such a rare occurrence. but on the other side, there's the guys that say, no matter how bright the fire burnt, you can always find love again and settle down in peace and tranquility.
i've been with a girl who loves me for a year now, and while i do reciprocate her feelings to a certain degree and had a life changing experience, i can't see myself having a stable family home with her in the future. our goals and aspirations in life are far too different, almost opposing priorities, we aren't planning to reach the same place and our beliefs really don't line up much, add to that many other red flags for unstability and i find myself really worried about a possible future together. she treats me very kindly and is enthusiastic about sharing a home, but i've been analyzing this thing from all angles for 365 days and i have to sadly admit that i just can't see it. We've already had fights over small issues that almost ended the relationship before.
Yet there's still this part of me that asks if i will ever receive this love again, or if it's me who hasn't tried hard enough. Classic issue of gut vs brain i suppose. I don't know. I just really don't want to hurt anyone. I've gotten heartbroken before and i absolutely would not want to make one of my dearest most cherished persons in this world go through that devastating experience. But what if the possibilities that are lying ahead in case i do stick with it are 10x worse? I don't know anymore.

I think i figured out the main problem with waldun's writing: Because he doesn't read, he takes inspiration for his woeful dialogue from shitty films and animes. The what's your name passage reads like a scene from a bad shonen. That's why the whole thing feels juvenile, it comes from a source of entertainment aimed at early teenagers. Maybe one could argue that the man himself has not grown up, but i don't really want to get into that.
Either way, this anon >>18926203 has got it right. He's going to turn into the dreaded film essay realm and larp as an avid criterion™ collector and shoot some dull footage on super 8. Such is the life of the internet poser with no solid identity.

>And for some goddamn reason, academics in the social science abhor biological explanations, as if it limits the infinite expression of the human spirit.
It absolutely does. Give me one single argument against that. Fuck biological determinism man.

Have you ever read a meta passage in a novel that wasn't overly tacky? Or contributed positively to the experience?

I've read about applied Ballardianism, but I've never read Ballard. Huh. Weird how things play out.

Every fucking time.

Books that evoke similar feelings as the post-modern masterpiece, Dilbert 3?

Books about the human irrationality and mind?
