King Lear is written in a shrieking-saccharine register which convinces its audience that every Shakespearean tragedy is written in its register, while it is the aberration.

It uniquely concedes to every contemporary self-conception and aesthetic taste. It is written with a sincere belief in all of the things that the liars in Hamlet believe about themselves, which, in Hamlet, gets punished with slapstick death.

All of the dark coloring of King Lear is cultivated to prop up the image of Cordelia's ultimate goodness. In Hamlet, the idea that someone like Cordelia can even exist is mocked as impossible.

No.
I’ve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever

The history of the world is entirely in the style of 9/11. Whether this is good or bad is your choice. The events themselves do not speak in contrarieties.

I am 27 and you are onto something actually. By 27 - 29, there is no longer potential, only results or atleast a visible path to those results. You can feel "youth" leaving you. I dont know how to describe it but those how know, know it.

Even after death, I imagine, you'll greet Death as a friend and ask him to take you to a place without slimy people, and he'll immediately take you to the Place of the Slimy People, being slimy himself.

Walter Benjamin did not come into this world under the sign of Saturn, but he did come into this world with Mars opposite Mercury in Saturn's bound, a configuration of criminalization and exile, and those are also both death signifiers in his chart.
Benjamin: "Yo vine al Mundo bajo el signo de Saturno: la estrella de revolución más lenta, el planeta de las desviaciones y demoras."

They are filled with dumb droids and aliens who make dumb noises. In fact, the only characters that survive all six films are the droids. That is the lesson George Lucas wants you to take: Politics change. The toy aisle endures.
I keep on hearing people say “the Prequels are bad,” yet no one can actually explain why or how they are bad. It almost always boils down to personal preference. Rarely does anyone point to an objective flaw with the film that diminishes them in some capacity.

This is what you are looking at when you watch Star Wars. When you are not looking at this, you are hearing the droids scream in automated fear. Then there's some crying and yelling, maybe a few Marvel jokes, followed by more of this.

Self-described 'Extremely Sensitive Young Man' weighs in on declining Chipotle quality. He has written an entire book.
I've been eating at different Chipotles all over the country and I can affirm this is 100% true. All the workers at every Chipotle seem dead, and the food just gets worse and worse. It's eerie... I don't see it so consistently in any other fast food

My only true disgruntlement with the world is that nothing is worded correctly.

It is true that the world has already been adapted to and that is what is signified by being alive rather than dead. It should be worded exactly like that, with the connotation of that.

You may find it suspicious that both my favorite contemporary published writer and favorite contemporary unpublished writer have written about me personally. I find it justifying.
