There's nothing wrong with you. People like you should only read poetry

But I have exhausted all the shows I can find so in order for me to ascend and reach greater levels of escapism I have to read, I have to read books
I have to read books and read them fast enough to feel immersed, I can't keep on backtracking and rereading because my brain doesn't function properly

No I have to read books fast to feel immersed enough for escapism

Read and after that re-read. I had to read every short story from borges 2 times.

It might be in Inspire, just google around for a copy of that, it's a free magazine.

Just to clarify, do not google for the Inspire magazine, especially if you're anything other than white, you will get partyvanned.

Imperfect duties do not follow at all from the categorical imperative.

Kant used reason to discover the limits of reason which is just about the dumbest thing you could possibly do.

fucking cholos

build the wall, I don't give a shit who pays for it

Walk in woods and treat it as a aesthetic experience.
Come back and try to channel that timelessness you've experienced into some good art.

Damn.

I've read Into The Wild. The author had to make half the shit up just to make McCandless not look like a total loser.

Idiot child. Should have just been a male model and eventually coked himself to death instead

Like Grizzly Man, he's a loser lauded by bored suburbanites who wish desperately that their lives had a modicum of challenge and danger.

I lived a Gatsby experience for a while, except I'm not rich and I didn't get shot

gatsby and wolfsheim contrived that stuff themselves

pos book
americans cant write for shit
diaf for glorifying this utter turd of retardation

or should I start with the ancients like Freud

Pinker is middlebrow and isn't something you should read with genuine interest.

He's going the exoteric "well someones gotta teach these dumb goys" route, his content is accessible and lukewarm in concept. A /lit/autist should aim higher

>>9382427
would it be okay to read this as a foundation for psy and just continually read other related books ?

honestly idk if reading freud today is regressive or obligatory to comprehend the psyche

don't try to trigger me fgt

Social contracts work just fine if they're based on religion.

Without the unifying force of a common spiritual bond, there will always be tension in a social contract. Without the impetus towards charity and selflessness, everyone will fulfill the contract JUST enough to avoid them getting in trouble with everyone else, and their self-interest will compel them to seek whatever ways they can find to cheat the contract.

It's a workable system, but hardly ideal. It doesn't produce the best of men.

>he doesn't have sittlichkeit

>Correct
No, if 'heading' was meant to be a participle, the syntax is fucked, if gerund - the tenses don't work. Also, general narrative statements, like the ones that start with 'one day' work better with present simple

>One day, he puts his coat on and grabs a rifle, and heads to the roof
>Heading to the roof, he put his coat and grabbed a rifle (also ugly as fuck)
>One day, he put his coat on, grabbed a rifle, and headed to the roof

>>9382140
I don't think you need that first comma. Other than that, I don't se anything wrong.

>>9382140
>One day he put his coat on, grabbed a rifle and headed to the roof.
>One day he put his coat on and, grabbing a rifle, headed to the roof.
>En route to the roof one day he accoutered himself with coat and rifle.
