Is the purpose of existence to expand our capacity for our human-specific capabilities (i.e. language, usage of tools, complex social institutions), or is it to expand our connection with nature (i.e. primal instincts, blurring the distinctions among all forms of life)?
And is the only worthwhile literature the kind that pits a struggle between those two poles?

And the above link.
Are there any general books on how the human mind/body functions as a reaction to internal and external stimuli. Stuff on the relation between authentic human desires, what others desire of you (the system), habits, ambitions, feeling, thought, etc.
The above link is a bit too "pop science" for my taste, wonder if there's more "proven" literature on the subject.
Not searching for self-help books like "7 habits" or "laws of power"

In 1884, meridian time personnel met
in Washington to change Earth time.
First words said was that only 1 day
could be used on Earth to not change
the 1 day bible. So they applied the 1
day and ignored the other 3 days.
The bible time was wrong then and it
proved wrong today. This a major lie
has so much evil feed from it's wrong.
No man on Earth has no belly-button,
it proves every believer on Earth a liar.

How do I avoid creating a John Doe MC /lit?
I'm very much trying to creating something other than the typical MC that you'll see in mainstream books, in particular the heroic yet troubled soul who is only against something because it is anti-humanitarian. Not to say that this isn't innately wrong for a heroic main character, however I feel it just gets a bit repetitive and, honestly, boring especially when filled with shallow 'problems' in order to make him more than 2 dimensional.
For background, I'm basing my character somewhat off of the chivalrousness of Roland from song of Roland, in that, yes he is a knight and thus loyal to his King, God, and convictions however is isn't afraid to self indulge. In Roland's case he suffered from his own vainity in his martial abilities which would then become his downfall. Without going too far into details my character is a parasitic 'knight' that comes to earth on the request of his King/God-like figure with a task, of which he's willing to do, however he isn't afraid to self indulge by eating/absorbing other humans that he comes across which serves only to grow himself (though by his own saying it serves to strengthen him to better help him in his duty as well as gather intelligence of humanity that would be valuable to his lord)
But I'm really afraid of him becoming a John Doe. Any tips or tricks of how to avoid falling into said trope or examples of John Does to help me avoid rewriting and continuing the character?

(Still Op)
To further reiterate, I really want to avoid the 'Harry Potter' character as he was by all accounts a John Doe (sorry my example isn't as patrician as what might be expected on this board but w/).
While he did have issues, one in particular being always linked to the main antagonist, he was literally the 'friend for all.' Everyone liked him except for the Slytherins who would be the antagonizing force. There wasn't really any room for a gray area, it was either you're good or not, and maybe that speaks more to the polarizing themes of the world in Harry Potter but it, to me, comes off as a bit almost too typical, safe, and bland. I don't think there was ever a time where Harry was like, "huh, maybe Voldemort is right in how to rule the magical world," because, by extension, he sort of fit the trope of siding only with the most humanitarian side of the field rather than actually considering the whole.
Maybe I'm being overly critical, I mean Rowling is published and I'm not so maybe she hit the nail on the head, but I don't find much value in such 2-d predictable characters, the every man's man that everyone becomes friends with automatically, and the saint above all sins because that just doesn't feel real and attractive to read.
>>
>>9203504
I dont think John Doe is the phrase your looking for.
Anyway the best characterisation remains unsaid. Let their actions, their speech, their nuances explain who they are.
>>
>>9203643
Not that I'm disagreeing, just maybe misunderstanding, but what would be a John Doe then? As I think of a 'John Doe' its basically the 'Naruto' of characters, in that they're basically made so thinjbofhsthat near everyone can, in some way, relate to them (though mostly only on the surface). When I think of John Does I think of characters that can be in pretty much any situation you throw at them and can adjust simply because their 'plain' enough to do so.

I’ve had it with /lit/. I want to become a creative genius – yes you read that right I said creative genius - so I thought this would be the correct environment to help me develop myself, get new ideas, associations and so on and so on. But this board is full of the exact same stuff over and over.
Why on earth do you lot gotta act as if the Greeks are such a big deal? Surely if I wanna be a creative individual there’s no point in reading what has been distilled into contemporary culture more as anything, right? I have the potential to become this creative genius I wanna become, but this attitude around here just makes me so annoyed. All that saying of, read this, read that, learn a new language, start with the Greeks.
The people have had enough.
It is time that /lit/ stops this attitude. We need’nd to be the future and what that means is that we should do away with this culture of bandwagonry. I want novel ideas to help me pursue my goal of becoming the next creator god. Yes – again – you read that right: I just wrote that I think I can be a creator god. What I am trying to communicate here is that I want to create and for that I need new ideas.
I don’t need all that stuff we see on a daily, I wanna be exposed to the new and peculiar, the strange, the weird and the odd. None of that swonky bussiness I’ve seen on here all day every day.
We need to wake up. We need to wake up and smell the future possible. WAKE UP!

This is EXACTLY what I am talking of. Has /lit/ been reduced to shitposting and click bait? I think it has.
That and the same 'memes', or whatever one wants to call it, over and over again. There is nothing to be learned from this.

There is a spectrum.
Total order (perfect machine) ---------------Total chaos (technically...hopefully """impossible""...as is perfect order... """maybe""")
"its all" arguments, personal and collective (and difficulty of proving, right and wrong, meaning, for what purpose) of ""balance"" (or un.. meaning more closer towards one or the other), in terms of "I exist... what do I want? how do I want to live my life, why, what is best for me, how do I know, why?".
The left end is ""extreme fast constant 24/7 innovation self run factories (after they were not self run for long time, and still completely are not) wake up at 6 am every day of your life come home at 7pm slave away cog in the machine no identity no relation to yourself and nature) and to the right side is "primitive indigenous", hippy, "just be mannnn", "lets just live and enjoy our lives, and relax and listen to music, and enjoy intoxicating substances and have orgies and fee each other grapes and make beauty and art and relax and be peaceful and enjoy.
Sounds like Highnegger was a dirty fucking hippy in a Nazi costume. Burn his fucking books you shiesty queers!
