Toward the Teaching of Style

1

Of prime necessity is life: a style should live.

2

Style should be suited to the specific person with whom you wish to communicate. (The law of mutual relation.)

3

First, one must determine precisely "what-and-what do I wish to say and present"‚ before you may write. Writing must be mimicry.

4

Since the writer lacks many of the speaker's means, he must in general have for his model a very expressive kind of presentation; of necessity, the written copy will appear much paler.

5

The richness of life reveals itself through a richness of gestures. One must learn to feel everything‚ the length and retarding of sentences, interpunctuations, the choice of words, the pausing, the sequence of arguments‚ like gestures.

6

Be careful with periods! Only those people who also have long duration of breath while speaking are entitled to periods. With most people, the period is a matter of affectation.

7

Style ought to prove that one believes in an idea; not only thinks it but also feels it.

8

The more abstract a truth which one wishes to teach, the more one must first entice the senses.

9

Strategy on the part of the good writer of prose consists of choosing his means for stepping close to poetry but never stepping into it.

10

It is not good manners or clever to deprive one's reader of the most obvious objections. It is very good manners and very clever to leave it to one's reader alone to pronounce the ultimate quintessence of our wisdom.

I believe the video poster took Bill's comment wrong when he said that other people do not have mental powers that he does not. Bill meant that they do not have special powers that give them answers about an afterlife in which case he is exactly right.

[guitaoist]

but some do have special powers if thats what you want to call divine insight which i believe is very possible with the use of shamanistic herbal psychedelics. im gonna expect a laugh about now but hey u asked

[alukkkard]

If you cannot see that religions (all of them) ARE ridiculous then you have no mental power like Bill does. The only right way to respond to people who defend religion is, "c'mon!" and then move on. Listen to the fat italian guy at the vatican. That was my favorite part cuz he said something like theres nothing you can do about it but live with those stupids believing stupid shit. That is one of the most insightful advices I've ever heard.

[guitaoist]

oKKK, kkkeep thinking that

Nietzsche was a genius. Him and Jesus would have been homies. And they would laugh at how moronic, childish and simple-minded Maher acts towards religion and religious people. Then they would debate whether to punch him or to turn the other cheek.

[guitaoist]

amen, theres much better ways to converting someone than by insulting them after the first 2 sentences. Yeah, Fred and Jesus wouldn't take the time to do what i did, "walk on byyyyy"

[Donal277]

And a final ps. at the end of the vid "hey buts thats just my opinion" should be your screen saver to remind you your beliefs or those in books are not science when based on opinions. The only thing i agreed with. But hey im just going by evidence based science...

[Donal277]

Your videos honestly give me a headache. So much nonsense. Im offended by your ignorance. Il take some positive energy and not watch anymore. Keep smoking those mushrooms and mistaking your gullibility for meaning.....

I take a deep breath from a baggie containg gold spray paint.

[lassek85]

Religion is a structure which withhold different values which are dependant on others understanding of the structure and what it means to themselves. This isnt very complicated, when you remove the base of that structure whatever values it will hold for whoever "disappears", there is no longer one higher value and a lower one defined as such after that previous structure.

IF there is a god or not is not the question, the question is how you best find out what there is.

Wearing shades indoors...fuck me you love yourself astro-boy.

[nogogma]

I think Bill Maher should make more movies like this in order to expose the idiocy of superstition. Religion has been given a pass for much to damn long. It doesn't deserve respect. It needs to be ridiculed just like any other stupid invention or fable. Especially when a religion motivates it's followers to kill and murder people different from them or who have different views on life.

[SOEHS2YIMMT]

Yep, there was a definitely a chuckle. The answers to questions about an afterlife are an acid drop away !!!

[SOEHS2YIMMT]

I am 0% religious. To me most humans are very subjectable to brainwashing. Where they were born and what they were taught growing up defines their beliefs.

As far as Im concerned let people be religious. But when it comes to muslums that think killing non muslums is good for them in thier after life then thats when I have problem with it
