Tell me something I don't know, Gass-man.

>>9752819
Sports and religion are definitely the passions of the badly educated, but I think that someone can go to college and study political science and what not. I'm not sure what exactly he means by politics being the passion of the badly educated. It's not my particular passion, it drains my energy and makes me feel depressed, but I think there's a lot of interesting things to observe if you're not just talking about trump trump trump trump trump.

Of course it's reliable. No one in the sciences takes Lacan seriously

>>9752747
Judging from the excerpts quoted in the book, I can see why.

I just can't believe a massively respected intellectual like Lacan could be such an immense gibberish-spouting buffoon. I mean, how don't most people notice? There are thousands of PhD students that read him religiously and write thesis about him every year, for fuck's sake. He's one of the most influential thinkers of the last 50 years. He has DISCIPLES, Christ.

I'm not worried about depressing conclusions but is it conducive to suicide as a favorable outcome?

I much prefer Hitler's thoughts instead of these continental language games. But it's worth bearing in mind that Wittgeinstein supported the Nazi movement, and for that he earns my respect

>>9752631
We all enjoy Hitler, but Wittgenstein is good too. I wouldn't say he's either continental or analytic though.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not

I can't write on an ereader page and that alone makes me prefer physical books.

Also do you think the act of physically turning the page can help concentration?

>>9752246
I don't like scrolling through a neverending wall of text. I need to turn pages and see how thick is the clump of pages I read through that day.

Also, shelves of books are aesthetic.

>>9752031
Using an Amazon paperwhite 3, personally don't recommend it, too damn small for reading

I suggest buying real books. It is the patrician way.

well no, isn't she keeping him captive?

he is talking about unspooking yourself. load up for the long haul, turn into a lion that kills the dragon, "thou shalt" (spooks), and then become a child (someone unspooked), from whic you can create your own values and not live by someone else's "thou shalts"

let me know if you still dont get it. dont read it word by word or you might find it harder to understand. i think nietzsche himself gives the metaphor of going "peak to peak"

>should be like a camel
it's not meant normatively, he describes either the maturity stages of a man, or different spiritual eras of mankind.
maybe both, like Stirner did in "a human life" chapter

start with the greeks

>>9751663
Don't read this first. Ideally, the Greeks, the Bible, philosophers like Kant and Schopenhauer, and then the Safranski biography, Clark's Nietzsche on Truth, and then Nietzsche's BGE, GM (this much at least) + whatever secondary scholarship you need, then Z when you're ready.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Theory_of_the_Leisure_Class

It is at this point that the dress of men falls short of that of women, and for sufficient reason. Conspicuous waste and conspicuous leisure are reputable because they are evidence of pecuniary strength; pecuniary strength is reputable or honorific because, in the last analysis, it argues success and superior force; therefore the evidence of waste and leisure put forth by any individual in his own behalf cannot consistently take such a form or be carried to such a pitch as to argue incapacity or marked discomfort on his part; as the exhibition would in that case show not superior force, but inferiority, and so defeat its own purpose. So, then, wherever wasteful expenditure and the show of abstention from effort is normally, or on an average, carried to the extent of showing obvious discomfort or voluntarily induced physical disability. There the immediate inference is that the individual in question does not perform this wasteful expenditure and undergo this disability for her own personal gain in pecuniary repute, but in behalf of some one else to whom she stands in a relation of economic dependence; a relation which in the last analysis must, in economic theory, reduce itself to a relation of servitude.

To apply this generalization to women's dress, and put the matter in concrete terms: the high heel, the skirt, the impracticable bonnet, the corset, and the general disregard of the wearer's comfort which is an obvious feature of all civilized women's apparel, are so many items of evidence to the effect that in the modern civilized scheme of life the woman is still, in theory, the economic dependent of the man—that, perhaps in a highly idealized sense, she still is the man's chattel. The homely reason for all this conspicuous leisure and attire on the part of women lies in the fact that they are servants to whom, in the differentiation of economic functions, has been delegated the office of putting in evidence their master's ability to pay. There is a marked similarity in these respects between the apparel of women and that of domestic servants, especially liveried servants. In both there is a very elaborate show of unnecessary expensiveness, and in both cases there is also a notable disregard of the physical comfort of the wearer. But the attire of the lady goes farther in its elaborate insistence on the idleness, if not on the physical infirmity of the wearer, than does that of the domestic. And this is as it should be; for in theory, according to the ideal scheme of the pecuniary culture, the lady of the house is the chief menial of the household.

How can we trust God? What if he is actually lying to us through angels/prophets?

The Bible should be titled "The Metaphor" so people like you wouldn't exist.
