What is schizophrenia Anonymous 05/28/22 (Sat) 03:58:07 No.17092 [Open thread]

Schizophrenia is defined at 19th century. But there was schizophrenia before. In each nation. At that time, nation tops have relation each other. At 19th the world become global. Schizophrenia is like Nietzsche.

統合失調症は１９世紀くらいに定義された。旧名、精神分裂病。ただその前も、あったのだろう。国の中に限られて。国のトップみたいなやつは、よその国同士で繋がりはあったと思うけど。１９世紀くらいで、グローバルになったからだろう。おそらくニーチェの感じのことをやらせるような

Hey, I’m wondering if any of you remember the info graphic showing the goals of the lower, middle, and patrician class’ relationships to food, furniture, and entertainment. If you’ve seen it, what’s you’re judgement of it. Is it correct?

I haven't come across this informational graphic too often, although I'm also curious about it. Though my activity is a little connected with it. Although, I come up with some ideas on my own and also look for information on the Internet. This source helps me with pattern graphic bundles https://masterbundles.com/graphics/patterns/black-and-white/ It's great that there are similar sources where you can get inspired and get fresh ideas.

Can't remember the name of a book / author, help? Anonymous 05/26/19 (Sun) 05:20:55 No.16270 [Open thread]

There is a book that I read when I was 13 (26 now)… I can't remember the name of it, but I do remember the basic plot. IIRC, seemingly everybody in the world save for a single class of college students vanished. One of the characters had a twin sister who she had an empathic link with, and she felt her sister just disapear. Meanwhile, even animals vanished, and the students begin vanishing unless they have someone to love - One of the main characters vanished suddenly as well. It ends with the class essentially splitting into two groups, the degenerates who just want to fuck all day, and the main characters who fuck off in a private plane to some other location, trying to meet up with people who contacted them via radio signal.

Really bad synopsis, but its all I can remember, save for one part where one of the main characters says he hates acid jazz because you can't dance to it.

Anyone happen to know what book I'm talking about? I know it was the first part in a series, but other than that, I can't remember. I'd like to try and read it again, just to see if the parts I didn't understand when I was a kid would make sense now.

Great writers don't have time for such nonsense. They have enough worries. I can't imagine how much effort it takes to write a whole book. I can’t just write an article at the university, but they have been doing it for years. Recently wrote at university about costco, used https://graduateway.com/essay-examples/costco/ for this. I just wouldn't be able to do everything myself. Well, in general, they read manga anyway, I'm joking.

Rand was important landmark of the noosphere, so maybe for historical context. But other than this… unless you want edgy "lone wolf" philosophy, reading Taleb is infinitely more useful. And quite interesting.

Moldbug gives some good explanations on economics. And a few other things. Sometimes he goes into flights of fancy, though. That's why I'd recommend Skin in the Game before reading Moldbug.

Lowen's "Betrayal of the Body" could have saved me years of suffering.

Wish I had read through the New Testament and the works of Plato around that age, as well. More to the point, I wish I'd just zeroed in on the subject that I excelled at more than others did, to the exclusion of all others (for the time), majored in it, and then never had to work an unskilled position or live in a moldy apartment for even a day. Being in my early 30's, I could have excelled in my field by now to where a career change would have meant a lateral move, and not starting over on the bottom rung.

You might want to take Cal Newport's first or second book with you to college and live by it until you're through it.

I also recommend the book by Harold Bloom - "The Western Canon" since it is a 1994 book about western literature written by one of the best critics. In the edition, the author defends the concept of the Western canon by discussing 26 mostly English language writers whom he sees as central to the canon. I found on the EssayReviewExpert site a review about the EduBirdie service on which I found an essay for my literature homework in which Harold admires Shakespeare as a personality inauguration. I recommend https://essayreviewexpert.com/review/edubirdie/ to discover on the expert review service how helpful EduBirdie is and, therefore, find more essays and books for your college years because I am a student and I get a lot of help and college materials, essays.

I'm about two-thirds of the way through and I'm entertained so far. It's kind of what I'd expect from a book from MDE.

Overall though, I'm not really sure what to think of it. The jokes are all laid out within the first 60 or so pages and the rest is a strange narrative with a slowly evolving plot that's leading to an unpredictable resolution.

It's great that there are people who share such materials in the public domain. It's just that I recently needed to write about an "inspector calls" book, I used https://writix.co.uk/essay-examples/an-inspector-calls for this since I couldn't find the book in stores to read. To be honest, I even liked this variant. I didn’t really bother and didn’t read the whole book in its entirety, I learned only all the most important things.

This is a rather rhetorical question from you. Everyone knows the answer to your question. You just need to read more. The last one I read was an essay about comparison different perspective international issue climate change, I used https://envrexperts.com/free-essays/essay-about-comparison-different-perspective-international-issue-climate-change for that. I read a lot of essays. Since I consider them more informative than taking the same books. This is a short version, which outlines the most important.
