Probably somewhere between when I started Out of the Silent Planet and finished Surprised by Joy

>>20364703
After I seriously, sincerely read through the Daodejing the second time around.

Humans are the natural world

This you?

Didn't this guy live in his friend's fucking backyard 10 minutes away from the nearest town? The modern day equivalent is living in a tent in some woods behind a Burger King parking lot.

imitation is a superior form than original

I feel bad for those who did not grow up trudging about in forests, they always have this idea of nature as something which is external to them. The idea that they are a part of nature is purely academic.it is not something innate, more a reaction to their society. You can always spot the city folk no matter how long they have been out of the city through this externalization, they treat the forest as they would the city, they go down to the creek with the same sort of mentality as they would go out to a bar, point A to point B, a destination. They follow that well worn path as if it were a sidewalk along a busy road, they window shop. When they do get to the creek they act how they feel one should act at a creek in a forest, which is surprisingly like they would act in a bar, they think it is ultimately a social place, it is a destination as is plainly clear since the trail ends here. If they encounter another person they must fill that silence and more often than not they do it by endlessly elaborating on how out here in the forest you can really hear yourself think or something of that ilk. This always causes issues for us of the rural persuasion, what the city folk want is validation, and then they want you to offer up something they can validate for you but if we validate them in the ir disturbing the silence it will only encourage them and if we do not it just causes them to become passive aggressive.

City folk need to realize that they are newfags, lurk more. A friendly smile and a nod will do, maybe affirm the general time of day with a 'morning' or 'afternoon' if you feel the need to vocalize, let the locals take the lead until you learn the lay of the land.

it's a statement on the form and not every case within. but I have never had "imitation crab" so I cannot judge. can you?

>>20365777
It is not terrible but not exactly good, it is just kind of weird in how it vaguely suggests crab in a distant memory sort of way.

Even as a statement on form it is a little silly.

>>20365846
imitation has an ideal against which it is possible to approach perfection; original does not. but you are right in that all reductions are silly. did you try "imitation crab" before or after you knew it as a meme?

>>20365873
Bringing in the idea of perfection really opens a can of worms. Growing up my sister loved imitation crab so we had it somewhat often, memes in that sense did not exist yet and I was too young to comprehend any sense of a meme yet. Would not surprise me if that was before you were born.

are you american?

>>20364703
Nature's great, but it's not God. Et in Arcadia Ego. While preferable to industrialized surroundings, death and suffering are still there. At least you will have more of your humanity when it happens.

>>20365958
What does that have to do with anything? Are you ESL? My English usage should give me away to any native speaker.

>>20366067
because never in my life have I known anyone who has knowingly eaten "imitation crab." I can only imagine it is a uniquely american cuisine.

>>20365971

>god is anything that is the absence of death and suffering

I found it the shittiest take on /lit/

>>20366118
It is Japanese and like 800 years old.

>>20366132
you must forgive me for not realizing this >>20365727 is like 800 years old

>>20366145
That is some of the poorest bait I have seen in a long time.

>>20366150
it's not bait

>>20366153
Oh, sorry, did not realize that you were stupid.

I spent a lot of time around trees and mosquitos. It's in my blood. No matter how many years I spend indoors now. It will never leave.

>>20364703
Bro I read Lord of the Rings when I was 12. I read Thoreau in the 11th grade. Kids these days... what do they read now?

>humans are incapable of creating beauty that is not inspired by the natural world

'nature' is a bestial chaos. 'beauty' is inherently metaphysical.

No, where should I start?
