I am a stupid man.
Please educate me.
I'm surprised lit, nobody wants to help me be a better human being?
Start with the Greeks
>>9876603
Fine. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eYHQcXVp4F4
>started with the Greeks like /lit/ told me
>struggling to understand even the presocratics
should i just give up
>>9876495
forgot to ask, what are some good books on the presocratics so I know everything before I go to Plato? I'm reading Robin Waterfield's book
>>9876495
What's there to understand about them? lol
Of course not. If you understand something completely the first time you read it then there probably wasn't much to gain from reading it. The fact that you're struggling is the biggest sign you should keep going.
Just got to Germany. Staying in Bayreuth. Gonna go see what I can dig up at Stirners house. I'd like to go to frieburg to see heidegger. Maybe Bonn for Bach. I wonder if fritz Lang has a mention somewhere...
I have 10 days- what/who should I do?
>>9876490
Are you a rapefugee?
>>9876515
That's beside the point
>>9876535
Ficki ficki? ;)
Have you ever read any Visual Novels such as Fate or Katawa Shoujo?
Yes.
>>9876480
I got memed into reading F/SN. Wish I'd just started with the Anime, what a waste of time.
This is fucking /lit/ not fucking /a/
get out of here with that weeb shit faggots
Any books to get me to stop hating myself and thus everyone else?
Nope. Sorry anon you are out of luck.
>>9876435
yaeh it's called get laid
>>9876513
last time i got laid i hated myself the same or maybe slightly more
Hi /lit/ I got a new book for my non-fiction collection, is it a good choice? Do you have any other recommendations?
Adashofash YT it
>>9876434
Um, in English?
>>9876422
Please stop making these threads. Your collection is meh at best.
Are there any philosophical stances, thinkers or books that supports the idea of omnicide or, at least massive destruction of human life to stop the species from being the major environmental influence it currently is?
I've heard of deep ecology but, while the reasoning seems sound, the suggested solutions feel too tame.
huff paint and watch max headroom
>>9876336
Look up James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis.
Don't believe the hype about global warming (ahem I mean "climate change"). It's a scam offered to useful idiots by the political class. The planet will absolutely survive anything humanity can throw at it. Even nuclear war. Given several million years, Earth will be fine.
>>9876412
Thank you for that but my question was more along the lines of: Is there anyone who says we should kill ourselves to leave the planetary ecosystem alone ?
Do you guys remember that time Tom came to /lit/?
>>9876306
yes. MM here.
>>9876308
Hey MM, it's me. Glad you enjoyed those subs.
>>9876308
Hello Mary.
i...is this okay /lit/?
are you a college freshman? if so sure why not, it'll be radical times, and you might be able to fuck some rich girl who resents her capitalist dad, on the other hand if you are a grown man, you need to delete that
>>9875931
This. Adults that are unironically marxists are fucking embarrassing.
>>9875963
capitalist shill detected
How do I become a patrician? I wish to put aside the manchild I am and become someone more. What should I read? What should I do? I have already started with the Greeks but I want to go beyond philosophy.
>>9875765
I have already read the Greeks.
ftfy
idk Goethe?
Keep on the path. If you want to get out of philosophy, read the greek tragedies, the epics from roman empire.
Follow the timeline the sameway you would do with philosophy..
Nothing quite like a cup of joe and a good book eh lads?
I feel that
thats not vended black coffee in a disposable cup
>>9875764
It's worse its instant coffee with milk.
Who was the last great philosopher?
aristotle
I unironically think Nick Land qualifies as an INTERESTING philosopher, if nothing else. Sure, he may be wrong about a lot, but there are plenty of philosophers worth studying who were wrong about a lot.
Timothy Leary
>introduction spoils the book
>preface explains why books shouldn't have prefaces
You should only fall for this once, and if you go in /lit/ enough, not at all
Preface and introductions shouldn't be read, so (in any hypothesis)?
I'm editing a self publishing author's manuscript right now and it is terrible. There are so many spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, plot holes, terrible storytelling. I don't think this one is worth the money at all. Any other editors know this feel?
>>9875634
How do I become an editor?
Currently a lawyer, want to be an editor.
>>9875634
I was a news editor for my college newspaper. One of the reasons I quit was because I spent so much time editing my staff's shit articles I couldn't focus on my other duties. One guy was ESL and I decided it was easier to fire him than teach him not to write like a retard.
>>9875634
this isn't that bad...
Where did it all go soright?
>>9875506
>not "Selected Tweets 2016-2024"
