You're a pussy. You can act like a man and still be "intellectual", despite what hollywood/internet tells you.

lots of really unenlightened smart people and vice versa. but in philosophy, i think it's an interesting idea, particularly in individualist philosophies, the idea that many people may have been led to ideas that in themselves reject communication, or just don't seek it.

The only thing you seem to stroke more than your cock is your ego.

Burden of proof falls on the dramatic claim, bruh.

Not saying much....

What's your first language? Nearly every language has a text which approaches Milton's if read untranslated.

Croatian. And I didn't think there was anything of that sort.

deleuze & guattari are monists, not cartesian like stirner

>>9455110
lol wtF how is stirner cartesian ??

If you want to argue that family should only matter when it serves one's rational interest, then yes egoism is anti-oedipus.

However, it is also fair to argue that being "anti-oedipus" is also a complex or as you put it a trap. Refusing any part in the oedipe is as neurotic as being trapped in the neuroses of the oedipe.

Anyway, read Jung. The individuation is the answer to both the oedipe (through differentiation) and pragmatic interest.

I was considering one of the following: coffee, kava, kratom, nicotine, or just sober.

I could potentially eat a cannabis gummy but idk if i'm feeling that for having to write for so long, i feel like i'd space out.

coffee is good because it's so common for writing but i'm afraid of the crash. maybe if i supplement l-theanine it would be good?

kava is nice because it's so relaxing that maybe i'd just be able to let the writing flow very easily. also a lot of kava is needed for me to feel the effects so it'd be hard for me to bring enough.

kratom is really really nice for reading but i haven't used it for writing before. i like this option but i'd have to figure out a way to be able to dose it before i start.

nicotine is easy. just pop in some snus. get a nice energy boost. but it makes me tired if i keep it in too long.

sober is fine. i'm a pretty capable writer (not to brag) and i'm confident in my skills.

i don't really want to combine these as in the past it had given me stomach irritation.

Caffeine, nicotine and modafinil.

>>9455050
whats an easy way to get modafinil in the US?

It's more of a "Wow everyone is stupid except me" tome.

The language is beautiful, but you'd get a better understanding of Nietzsche's ideas from Beyond Good and Evil. Zarathustra kind of drowns in its own poetry.

>>9454724
did you read it?

>>9454724
How does it feel to have wasted all that time and the dickhead couldn't even write an ending.

>>9454729
Well, it's called "Infinite Jest" for a reason.

hang around /lit/ more, anon. Ligotti is the most popular contemporary horror author here and he only falls a bit behind HPL as being the most discussed in general. There are some great topics on him now and then.

I've read a solid chunk of his fiction over the past few years. I finally ordered a copy of Conspiracy and am planning to read it before starting to revisit his fiction.

>>9454488
the best one is the one in germany with the dueling otto bismarck. i think that's the second one? royal flash. don't go through them all at once man. read like one or two a year, and they'll keep their hilarity. love those shits. also check out the colonel blimp movie.

I just know them as the precursors to Blackadder/Ciaphas Cain, both of which I enjoy immensely. I really should read them some time.

>>9454488
great stuff.
for similar non-fiction, check out Peter Hopkirk's Great Game series, albeit sans shenanigans.
