I want to read into psychology, especially C. G. Jung.
What do I start with and do I have to read something else before Jung?
Are there good easy introductions into the subject?

My girlfriend constantly wants sex and it's exhausting. So any good books about hedonism? Specifically about auto-felatio?

Ask her if she wants to get pregnant. It sounds like she wants to, even if she doesn't consciously want to...maybe

After 30 years this is what ive come to believe. Which philosophy/philosopher correlates best with these beliefs? Do you share some of these or all. If not, what are your findings?
Book suggestions for me??
1. Nobody cares if you are alive or dead.
2. Nobody cares if you are happy or miserable.
3. All things come to an end.
4. Women are no leaders.
5. People are poor actors.
6. People are egoistic.
7. People wish to control others.
8. Absolute power corrupts.
9. There is no god but money and pussy worship.
10. There is no karma.
11. There is no destiny.
12. Nature is indifferent.
13. Moral codes are man-made.
14. Life is suffering.
15. There comes nothing after death, just as before life.
16. Biological meaning of life is to survive and replicate.
17. Spiritual meaning is individual.
18. Fear is stronger than love.

Are there any books that capture the sense of loss stemming from regret?
Like books about old people who did nothing ever and have nothing to look back on but opportunities they never took?

Because at some point I have recognized the fact, that I am not really reading for good writing, but for the ideas. Not that I wouldn't enjoy the mastery of writers, It's just that - if it were just for that, I wouldn't bother. And academical philosophy seems like a scam to me, honestly.
Why a novel than? Why are the subjective formats - tweets blogs, so short? Can we form interesting concepts?

And yeah, you can write anything you want in any format you can, I know. But the key consideration lies behind the term - constructive discourse. You cannot just shout into the darkness. There has to be some back and forth, right?

Look, I have invented a thing. What does it do? It is a special kind of a flash disc that I use to write on on different machines, that makes me remember to fucking back up my data. Works like a charm.
I am not saying that rational solutions would be innefective, but rational solutions would be innefective.

I am ugly, prospectless, friendless, will never experience romantic love, and have no real skill.
What are some books that can help me constitute an idealized self-image that gives me illusion of being powerful and worthwhile?
So far I've read these books which have helped immensely:
Schopenhauer's 'On Women' (helps me cope with not having women interested in me)
The Bell Curve (helps me cope with my average intelligence as I am part of the white race which is high up)
Sex and Character (helps me rationalize my not being sexually active)
Culture of Critique (i can blame everything on Jews)
Anything else that could give me a false sense of superiority?

Is the following sentence grammatically correct?

it needs at least one comma and probably a re-wording
>>
it's a bachelor thesis, so it does not need a verb.
where is the comma missing?
do you have a suggestion for a rewording? Maybe it's easier to take a correct english thesis and translate it back to german.

I read an interview with Gaddis somewhere in which he says that he hadn't read Joyce until after writing The Recognitions. If that is so than where did he get the idea of using hyphens to dilineate speech? Is this something that has been done more widely than I'm aware of?
Also general Gaddis thread.

Shit disseminates. I never believe its important to see which books an author read to trace influence

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Quotation_dash
Pretty standard in other languages
>>
Em dashes for dialogue was more popular in European and generally non-American literature of the time, and Gaddis had spent a lot of time traveling at that time in his life and thus reading the books of other nations.
