Nice find, Beard - thanks for sharing. I think R will include this in the next history/glossary.All credit goes to the noted Earwan archeological team of Nôwan Nös and Khan Tri Membr, who should absolutely be credited in future TSA publications. And, truly, can we show some love for Zöreius Öenghus, comic, wise man, deserter (probably), and general nogoodnik.
@Wilshire - i agree w/your comments re: Bakker. At this point i find him to be an intentionally undependable narrator of his own story in a lot of ways. Im sure he would tell me that my loss of faith in him would be his goal and that i am now better off.This really resonates with me, Rots. Similarly, I no longer completely trust Bakker as a story-teller, and, as you note, that's probably the position in which he wants to place his readers. It's a very modern, or perhaps even a modernist approach to fiction.
Ill buy whatever, if anything, comes next but im much more neutral towards the author and thus the work.
Cixin Liu's "dark forest strategy" in action. Scary stuff.One more galaxy stripped clean by the No-God.
This actually made me laugh out loud - that said, it's troubling to consider your joke seriously - it could be the result of someone and not something.
Well, as a strict armchair Kantian and "physicist" (that is, an idiot who reads things he can barely understand) I have no idea what this article is trying to tell us.Very good. Sublimity resides in the perceiver, not the perceived.QuoteSo, indeed, nature, of course, is not sublime, in and of itself, it is sublime only in our perception of it. "The sublime" in other words, would be phenomena not noumena, as a matter of course. So, nature, as noumena, is not sublime, a priori, the sublime is a posteriori as a matter of course. I'd think that is a bit like asking if there could be an a priori phenomena, which might be like asking if there is a married bachelor though...
Finished Neuropath. Art. Definitely the best book I have read in the last year.
