    It's going to be a great 2025 in literature, Ian, for that Literary Rennasance you have been wanting. I felt it long ago. I was glad to hear the enthusiastic confirmations and validations with your videos. Merry Christmas and I am certain we can all look forward to an exciting and consiousness expanding 2025 in the arts!

    Ian, did you know McCarthy wrote frequently about the futility of being a Toronto Maple Leaf's fan? 🤪

      The Road was inspired by being a Leafs fan. As a Leafs fan myself, the bleakness and hopelessness felt so…familiar

    Each new upload to this channel further convinces me that my book Vitruvia 144 would be incredibly suited to the tastes and ideals that this channel is all about. I hate to self promote, especially on the back of someone like Ian's hard work, but I'm absolutely certain anyone that doesn't just ignore my words will find this book to be an incredible experience. It nearly cost me my life and sanity to produce, and it is the greatest thing I'm currently able to offer to this world. Please consider reading it as a means of accepting my greatest offering.
    May the literary renaissance reign supreme and awaken all which yearn to see its wonders!

    Well, I’m glad me and McCarthy have the same type of feeling toward primitivism and animism. Definitely love me some Walden and am definitely a big fan of “return to monkey” blow it all up and let’s go back to tribes and let nature rebuild

    I'm reading Murakamis new book now. I'm actually extremely indifferent about it. I'm on Chapter 31...😑 I enjoyed 1Q84 much more at this point and am hoping that somethings gives. Idk maybe I'm not seeing something. I can't help but to feel some way about there being some underling Covid message. I believe he wrote this during lockdown? Hey can I pay up front for the book club? Instead of monthly?

    • @WriteConscious
      @WriteConscious  13 годин тому +1

      Yes, you can pay for it yearly! I feel you on his new book. But, we will be reading some better ones in the book club in 2025!

      @WriteConscious thank you I will look for that payment option. Also wanted to mention I have been so bummed out I'm not more active on the Skool. Homeschool, activities and my own personal reading and writing takes all my time I barely have time for anything else. I started writing the desert short and just could not finish it time. It's promising though so I will still finish it hopefully.

    Where did you get that chart about democide?
    I feel the tension with platforms like UA-cam, even substack tbh. It allows you to reach a niche, that's undeniable.
    The danger is you invite google into your heart with each post and so can we not be molded by technology despite using it all the time?
    I'm only observing not casting judgement.

      Agreed. Musk is a philistine, along with everyone in the corporate-political world. The word "visionary" should be reserved for Nietzsche and Rimbaud and Blake and Dostoevsky and real people who actually matter.

      @@victoryovergravity He sees a good idea which any of us can do, and then he makes an offer to the creators that they can’t refuse, takes credit for originating it, and then he tries to make it as cheaply as possible, f’s it up, while not using any of his money. Usually sells it to dumb politicians who use our money. Not a visionary, but definitely a high class grifter.
