Please understand my situation. I need this meme. I simply cannot do without it. It is just the meme for the time you see, no other can do! Without this meme the day will be impoverished, perhaps unrecoverable. But with this meme, the day will be made! To have such a meme would not merely be the cherry on the pastry, but the very crust and dough and filling as well. It is the difference between the whole meal or the empty banquet. I am a meme beggar, I admit it. I never saved the memes I enjoyed, only amused myself idly with their transience, and my lack of foresight has returned to wreak vengeance upon me this dreary and desperate day. For if I had the Kant meme of which I speak, I would not have to come to you like this, in such a pathetic and debased state. I have little to offer, perhaps this meme will do. It is all I have. Just please take pity on a memeless man such as myself, and if one has room in their heart and sufficient will, relieve me of my destitution and my desolation. Please, I implore you, kind passer-by. Provide this forlorn urchin with the meme of Kant with the red lens flare eyes and the grin, much is at stake....

Do you know of any good books written before the 21st or even 20th century that deal with the theme of nostalgia and how the past was so much better? I find past perspectives on an even more distant past to be quite interesting.

Will suffering irl make me a better writer?

never read it but
>1) anything dense takes a while to read if you actually want to absorb some portion of it. took me 3 hours once to read literally 11 pages of Carl Jung's synchronicity because I had to keep writing down paraphrases and bullet points in order to follow his logic.

>2) I always end up feeling similarly disappointed whenever I pick up a book expecting to learn some inner-secrets. it is possible to write a good instructional book, but as memey as it sounds---if he knew so much about the secret forms and patterns of poetry, he'd probably just be writing poems and not scientific breakdowns of poetry. he sounds a bit like Mozart's nemesis in "AMADEUS"
>3) it's still certainly good to get some more objective context and form for poetry. i'd wager that even if it feels like it's just going right through you----the important stuff will stick and you're already doing 15x better than all these modern day free-form, experimental poets

I learned to face the truth, that unless radical steps are taken whites and western culture will go the way of the dodo.
