this thread (and forum?) started that way

Arguably much greatness starts this way.

Read Nietzsche but don't read Heidegger.

Also I've been drinking coffee.

Read Shakespeare, don't read Ezra Pound. Read Goethe but don't read Wyndham Louis. Basically avoid anything @luka exalts, apart from Finnegans Wake.

cut sales tax on shakespeare and goethe! make pound and lewis prohibitively expensive, luxury items. the super-rich will resultantly read pound and lewis, and a new world will be born.

third has not read a single page of any of those authors. you should read them all of course.

 

[Clinamenic]

@luka so are you the only person who has read a book on this forum?

 

[thirdform]

Read Russell Kirk but also read Amadeo Bordiga and Paul Mattick. Read Edmund Burke but also read Marx. Don't read Pat Buchanan and forget Tucker Carlson. These are tinpot conservatives. Go for the real revanchist, aristocratic deal.

 

[Clinamenic]

Some people can see through stuff without needing to engage with it as fully as other people need to.

But which will most help him pull?

 

[Clinamenic]

Of course I also think one can learn to see through stuff, but that is the sort of exquisite science that has proven so difficult to programatize.

woops has read a few, craner has read a few. jenks has read loads. limburger has read some. version has read gravitys rainbow.

I have given I wasn't a skunk casualty when I was 16 and actually studied English literature. You see unlike your pasty-faced buttocks I can take drugs and read.

 

[craner]

Only Jenks can read everything, the rest of us have to plot our courses.

Luke treats books as consumer products. Bang bang, I get what I want from it, job done. It's why he always has to invalidate me on this subject, because I don't see art as sacred, because sacred is always conceptually dependent. I find it funny he'll probably be going to church in 20 years time.

 

[Clinamenic]

Actually this thread is turning out pretty well, I'd say.

its actually cos you never give any sign of having read anything. you just spurt these nonsensical opinions and injunctions

I mean that's you. sever everything from its context because it's art maaan.

As if you even understand an eighth of the cantos.

 

[thirdform]

You're whole approach is that it's fun to read about other people reading, but then accuse me of doing the same. which is hypocritical in the extreme.

 

[luka]

i dont understand what that means

i dont understand what that means

I'm sure @craner can explain it to you, not in the mood for you deflecting this afternoon.
