Yes. Look at Nietzsche's description, wouldn't you want to live like that? Happy, healthy, long lives, ineradicable and strong?

I have actually never played the game but I guess you can't go wrong with Roadside Picnic.

Bumping. Got the game on a steam sale. Seems legit but I never played it before.

You gotta give it a go. Its a bit stressful and quite slow paced, but very original and well written.

From him you learn that if you can't win an argument you just call it a "spook"

absolutely a meme, he has no influence whatsoever of later philosophers and anyone who does even know of him treats him with the same disdain they do Rand

stirner's definitely not someone you want to bring up in public. in any circle. but after marx and engels, i think he is the young/left hegelian most worth reading -- i don't think he's more than a meme to most people who mention him online; that's a shame because while he was no genius, his work demonstrates a tremendous leap in the sequence of german thought following kant, hegel, and then feuerbach's contributions. i think without marx's work, stirner's is a dead end, though i also think marx's engagement with stirner shaped him in a really profound way. make sure to read 'stirner's critics,' and the portion on him in balibar's marx's philosophy. if you want to see some 'practical stirnerism' look into some of the illegalists like the bonnot gang and enzo martucci. wolfi landstreicher, jean-michel rabate, and alfredo bonnano are all good sources on him as well -- avoid bob black. for a view from the right, look at junger's eumeswil. there's also this weird pamphlet you might be interested in called 'the right to be greedy' -- stirnerite marxists, they're real.

No, you can't.
>Hurr Durr can I understand non-euclidean geometry if I never learned long division?
Nietzsche mainly critiques others, if you don't even know what he's critiquing why would you read him?

so what or who am I suppose to read before reading nietsche

check the catalogue

Mmm look at that sexy norton

my edition of norton is beaten up, has dozens of its onion skin pages wrinkled up like a an old person's back, and has its spine nearly broken in half.

its one of my favorite things in the world and i intend to repair so i can continue perusing it for as long as possible.

I've learnt nothing but it was very entertaining. Self does call him out on his bullshit and doesn't let him stray too far from topic.

>What can change my mind?
Walt Whitman

historical fiction is a broad genre really.
I feel like you're right but not in the case of recreating major historical events but more in exploring the lesser known aspects of history throguh fiction.

>>9554959
Or using a historical era/event as the backdrop or building block of your story

>>9554957

I avoid it because I don't want the purity of my historical understanding to be tainted by some autist's fanfiction. I think it's by far the most pleb genre.

Don Quijote.

>>9554933
The Neverending Story
The Magus

i hated infinite jest while i was reading but i did cry at the end.
It was surreal. I think it's a good ending really is all.

Goddamn dude provide some kind of criteria for what you want to read that isn't generic crap or you're just going to get meme replies and "Star with the Greeks!"

I would like a story driven book,but philosophy is also acceptable.
