If you think anyone takes Spookman seriously, you might actually have autism.

1. Max Stirner recognizes feelings of benevolence, selflessness, as, actually, self-interested, which is broadly the truth - people act good to feel good about themselves.

2. Capitalism works by deceiving people, at least in Stirner's opinion, away from their self-interest, and if everyone acted in a self-interested manner, the machine and workhouse capitalism of his era, different from ours, would've stopped working, and it wouldn't created a new basis for work, a Union of Egoists. As a self-interested person, it is, in fact, in your self-interest to promote such a state, such pretty much every suffers the shitty consequences of runaway capitalism.

3. You're a retard.

4. Read the book, you retard.

Wrong. As a self interested person, it is in your best interest to exploit the proletariat. It sounds to me like YOU haven't read the book, imbecile.

Enlightenment is ritual. Ritual is discipline. Discipline is training. Training is play. Play is nature. Nature is a spiral.

No, amazing meme and even more amazing=translation.

I'll be starting to learn latin as soon as my books arrive so can read Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz. Can't really comment on anything else in the OP.

You need koine Greek for the New Testament, not Hebrew.

Native Spanish speakers can kind of understand the Cantar del Mio Cid, which was written about 1207.

It's obviously Kripke. Discovery of aposteriori necessity actually gives me an excuse to continue being a useless waste of space and puts all self-help individualist betterment ventures to shame. Also his takedown of type identity theory is interesting

Discovery that Bitcoin revives Kant's philosophy is more relevant.

The undemocratic process of the making of the 2017 list is what makes it a great list.

Strong prose abilities, nice tips for how to live the Christian life (The Screwtape Letters), pretty shoddy theology ultimately, although not without some great ideas here and there. Enjoyed the Narnia books as a kid.

>“You may have noticed that the books you really love are bound together by a secret thread. You know very well what is the common quality that makes you love them, though you cannot put it into words: but most of your friends do not see it at all, and often wonder why, liking this, you should also like that. Again, you have stood before some landscape, which seems to embody what you have been looking for all your life; and then turned to the friend at your side who appears to be seeing what you saw -- but at the first words a gulf yawns between you, and you realise that this landscape means something totally different to him, that he is pursuing an alien vision and cares nothing for the ineffable suggestion by which you are transported. Even in your hobbies, has there not always been some secret attraction which the others are curiously ignorant of -- something, not to be identified with, but always on the verge of breaking through, the smell of cut wood in the workshop or the clap-clap of water against the boat's side? Are not all lifelong friendships born at the moment when at last you meet another human being who has some inkling (but faint and uncertain even in the best) of that something which you were born desiring, and which, beneath the flux of other desires and in all the momentary silences between the louder passions, night and day, year by year, from childhood to old age, you are looking for, watching for, listening for? You have never had it. All the things that have ever deeply possessed your soul have been but hints of it -- tantalising glimpses, promises never quite fulfilled, echoes that died away just as they caught your ear. But if it should really become manifest -- if there ever came an echo that did not die away but swelled into the sound itself -- you would know it. Beyond all possibility of doubt you would say "Here at last is the thing I was made for". We cannot tell each other about it. It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want, the thing we desired before we met our wives or made our friends or chose our work, and which we shall still desire on our deathbeds, when the mind no longer knows wife or friend or work. While we are, this is. If we lose this, we lose all.”

I've noticed he's very popular with a lot of Christians I know, sort of their go-to one-and-only theologist, sometimes almost an extra Paul or something. The same kind of Christians who love Tolkien with all their hearts. Anyways. Worth reading.

>"Pains he may still have to encounter, but they embrace those pains. They would not barter them for any earthly pleasure. All the delights of sense, or heart, or intellect, with which you could once have tempted him, even the delights of virtue itself, now seem to him in comparison but as the half nauseous attractions of a raddled harlot would seem to a man who hears that his true beloved whom he has loved all his life and whom he had believed to be dead is alive and even now at his door. He is caught up into that world where pain and pleasure take on transfinite values and all our arithmetic is dismayed. Once more, the inexplicable meets us."

Very.

>In a covenant concluded among proprietor and community tenants for the purpose of protecting their private property, no such thing as a right to free (unlimited) speech exists, not even to unlimited speech on one's own tenant-property. One may say innumerable things and promote almost any idea under the sun, but naturally no one is permitted to advocate ideas contrary to the very purpose of the covenant of preserving and protecting private property, such as democracy and communism. There can be no tolerance toward democrats and communists in a libertarian social order. They will have to be physically separated and expelled from society. Likewise, in a covenant founded for the purpose of protecting family and kin, there can be no tolerance toward those habitually promoting lifestyles incompatible with this goal. They – the advocates of alternative, non-family and kin-centered lifestyles such as, for instance, individual hedonism, parasitism, nature-environment worship, homosexuality, or communism – will have to be physically removed from society, too, if one is to maintain a libertarian order.

The prom king at my high school said these words:

"Hey man, you hear about Bobby? He's majoring in, like, Psychology or something, but not psychology, like about 'What is Life' and stuff."
