I was talking in the shower to myself about the domestication of dogs and now I want to write a short story about the domestication of dogs
It'll be about a boy who lives in Siberia and who has an encounter with a wolf pup, wolves already being a similar sight around their settlement
I'll write it in third person which is limited and not an omniscient view
Since it is set a long time ago I won't feel the need to do so much research

I'm an INFP and I don't ever say the n-word because I think it's wrong.

Dang, he has the power to save your mortal life? That's pretty impressive.

Do you get more or less time to read when you graduate?

>Thinking about picking a female author to look woke
Don't do this anon. Unless it's a book which you are sincerely interested in, she will be able to tell what you're doing, and will think less of you for it.
She will be more impressed if you pick a book by a male which you think she would enjoy, showing her that you are familiar with her interests is the ticket.
That said, what are her interests so we can better come up with a recommendation?

I’m an emotional man, someone please help me

How do I get into poetry friends? Should I not bother and just stick with prose?

It's moments like this that make sticking with this board worth it.

My mom thinks I'm weird because I bought 20 books. She thinks I'm a hoarder or something. Am I weird for buying 20 books?

hey i don't know if you guys remember me, but I was that anon who thought having gay sex would make me a better author and more kino. (fyi it didn't and I don't like men)

i got tested recently, and I don't have any stds. i really dodged a bullet, but let this be a warning, if you aren't gay, don't have gay sex thinking it will make you like a great gay author like bram stoker, oscar wilde, ernest hemmingway, walt whitman, james baldwin, or john green

As a Christian I have become very disillusioned with the world and think I agree with what Marxism and Marxists say, however I don't like how a lot of Marxism is dismissive of Christianity or religion in general. How can you dismiss something that is such a large part of a lot of people's ways of experiencing the world when you claim you are doing historical material analysis? So I have been wondering if there were any Marxist thinkers that find a reconciliation with Christianity or just religion in general.

Books about veganism? I've been watching videos of what happens in factory farming and it makes me angry, depressed, and hopeless that there is a holocaust happening in our backyard and nobody cares.

thanks i like novellas, cutting, and diapers

For me it's Virgil's Ecologues

since nobody in this thread has bothered to give a reasonable criticism, i guess it is up to me

U.G (the OP post) is just merely describing consciousness as process, which we can agree to be process, whether or not we're so called idealists or reductive materialists. where the actual issues between the two is the result of dualism between the "mind" and the "body", but monism ultimately defeats dualism. you can think in terms of everything being made of densified spirit (idealists) is a form of monism, and everything being made out of particles (materialism) is also monism. so you both agree that everything is essentially one substance. and since U.G. is merely describing the process, it is up to us to actually make an effort to explain the process. and this is simple when you actually take the time to delineate "consciousness" from "self awareness", from "pure awareness". since consciousness is just a process, it becomes irrelevant whether or not consciousness is generated by the brain and body or not, because consciousness is not the end point of investigation. so what is above consciousness? the "self consciousness" that humans have is what separates us from the animals and plants, since in a rudimentary way they are conscious as well. the "pure awareness" that we have to delineate consciousness from, which exists within and outside of you whether or not you take a drug, or sleep, or if you're an animal or a rock, or think of yourself as you are in this present moment, or whoever you were 20 years ago. continuity is there to protect the body between individual moments, and to HAVE SEX, but the real you doesn't really care. so to imagine it visually, the pure awareness would be a constant beam of white light, your individual consciousness is little more than a colored filter that the light passes through.

so now you might be asking, "why did we develop self consciousness"?, but it should be clear by now that the question is actually "who is the self?"

Go vegan and help your animal frens. Don't fall for meme diets that will give you a heart attack and that push ideology like "durrr top of the food chain." We need to recognize that animals are just a part of the ecology as well and if we keep trying to dominate and destroy nature we ourselves will go out with it.

Animals are your frens plz don't kill them. Also factory farming is horrific and a vegan diet is great for you there is no reason to not go vegan.

I’m in an almost identical situation. Stay strong, brother. We can make it.

Why is there so much distrust for intellectuals in this day and age? Especially in America? If anything we need intellectials more than ever today. Why is everyone an anti-intellectual?

If I am drawn in by Whitehead's philosophy am I an atheist? He has a so called "God" but it is more of a metaphysical concept and not anything religious and it is not even a God (not all powerful, knowing, or good).
