Capitalism is not unsustainable and it is currently the only global system working.

Which shows you that the accumulation of wealth is going by unchecked, while the amount of government handouts increase for the lower classes. Yeah, real sustainable.

>interest rate policy of the Fed adopted to rising interest rates now

I can tell you the future does not bode well for this inconvertible fiat currency.

From what I hear, Law is hardly as practical as people assume it is. Hell, I know a girl who didn't even go to college and she became a paralegal. Eventually to move up she did take some classes, but still, from Law graduates I hear it's not as easygoing after graduation.

If you have time, parents to live with, and pell grants to pay for your undergraduate education, then go for something that you're passionate for. Regarding grad school, I would say loans are worth it.

This is of course if you plan on remaining in academia. Because really, what else are do you have to offer with an English degree that someone else cannot?

>paralegal

Her job will literally be done by a robot in less than 15 years.

OP, do a degree in anything and get into the Harvard Business School for their MBA,

Book 001 - Horus Rising by Dan Abnett (2006)
Book 002 - False Gods by Graham McNeill (2006)
Book 003 - Galaxy in Flames by Ben Counter (2006)
Book 004 - Flight of the Eisenstein by James Swallow (2007)

Are all good.

My buddy has read them all and says sticking to Abnett and McNeill is probably the best, and that if you just read them all you consume impressive amounts of trash.

Healthy diet so you can live long enough to read many books, and Greeks of course.

An open door and a politician

"No, thank you, I'm a bit busy." The Jehovah's Witnesses looked disappointed. "Sorry, I've got to, uh, feed the… cat." The charity worker hesitated as the door shut in his face. "Um, can you come back later?" The MP nodded tiredly. I paused. "No, actually, come in. I'll finish later."


The first law of space travel, and a mug that isn't yours

"Commander Ryman." The door hissed, letting the officer through. The habitat room was warm from appliances as she headed for the crockery cupboard. She nodded at Lieutenant Jackson, Commander Ryman and Lieutenant Barnes, opened the cupboard and reached for an absent mug, freezing in place as weapons were swiftly drawn.
A knife and a door

"We have the room surrounded!" the sergeant yelled through the door. "You've got nowhere to run!" An unnerving silence replied. The officer scowled and signalled to the breaching team. They raised the battering ram when the door burst open and she flew from the room, moving like a knife.

The door jammed open
the knife jabbed home

Three months of work and I expected a warm homecoming. Not being greeted by laughter from the bedroom and a meal half-prepared. A kitchen knife lay unattended, filleting a fish, mirroring the twisting feeling in my gut as squeals from the bouncing mattress fell through the open bedroom door.

Anon, he just said it:
> the proudest human being, the philosopher, thinks that he sees on the eyes of the universe telescopically focused from all sides on his actions and thoughts
The philosopher will not claim to have the perspective of a finite, contingent being, but that he describes the univese through an objective, universal, capital T Truth.

>What does he mean by this essay?
Keep reading and find out about Nietzsche's perspectivism. No, it doesn't end here.

>I am not very familiar with Nietzsche to be honest
No shit.

>Keep reading and find out about Nietzsche's perspectivism.

On this I would recommend Peter Poellner's article "Perspectival truth", OP.

1. Read a bit of the books online first, obviously.
2. Order books online, equally obviously.
3. Get an e-reader, also obviously.

Is this a ruse? Just in case it isn't, if a bookshop doesn't have any of the books /lit/ talks about, it's probably cometely worthless.

>painful admission of guilt

I still mostly go off of my AP Lit books and authors to read from Highschool.
If it's on the list I assume it is at least worthwhile even if I don't enjoy it.

>Are Literature Classes even really that useful?

If you have an instructor who is actually worth a shit, yeah.

No classes are that useful and putting in more than the bare minimum needed to pass is a waste of your time and consciousness unless perhaps your end goal is to become part of the academic machine.
