From my experience, no

Women don't want a one-dimensional person, but that's about it

I'm a man but I would be perfectly cool with that scenario too

You faggots have lost all shame and pretense. Fuck off to /pol/.

It's already too late. Thiel harvests the blood of the young in pursuit of immortality. This could've been stopped but instead everyone was posting about how "gurlz r sluts" for the last decade

I only read this one. Damn, it is good.

Kokoro and Spring Snow. Recommended if you like books with a dark outlook on life.
I've also ordered No Longer Human, Schoolgirl and Rashomon and seventeen other stories

>>9564604
stories is a vague term, but i meant short stories and novellas, not novels, which are talked about often enough as not to be emphasized in this thread.

Let the LSD take you to places. From my experience, you can't really structure and prepare your trip.

contemplate the idea that u are literally seeking validation on 4chan u little shit

I had a weird thing happen in my brain last time I dropped.
I was thinking about that whole "last thursdayism" thing.
I was watching some movie my housemate put on about biblical Cain still being alive as some kind of punishment.
I'm not even religious but thinking about the Bible being a weird misinterpretation of things that we don't understand was freaking me out.

Then I was doing this thing where I was stuck thinking about the world on a geographic timescale.
It was fed by my basic interpretation of scientific concepts that I don't fully understand but it was still blowing my mind.

I dunno, trips are very personal, the only general thing that you could contemplate would be infinity, but that happens to anyone on acid.

Fuck it, sure. Papa Peterson also started a series of lectures on the bible today starting with genesis

>>9563369

Oh, right. I completely forgot about that.
Also I've made a poll for anyone interested.

Well, it seems to me that there was one or at most two anons who were making the Bible threads. Replies will tell us who many people are interested so we can decide if it's worthy. From my part I am disposed to rereading and discussing since the beginning so you can count on me.

so you don't get anally raped in prison

Not a Stirnerfag but Morality is such a nebulous and impossible-to-objectify concept that it ought to be abandoned entirely in favor of preservative Ethics.
At least then one can have an empirical argument of formal theory. Unless you accept some unfalsifiable (or worse ideology-driven metaphysical) Platonic notion of Good, you can't quantify Morality in any meaningful way.

Morality is a benelovent self-imposed restriction people use to make sense of the world. Just like we use logic to structurize the external reality, we use morals to regulate our mind. You don't seem to be asking questions like "Why should I act logically? Why can't I just eat my shit and bang my head against the wall?"

An unopinionated man is an educated man.

Nothing is more satisfying to me than investigating and pursuing the threads of knowledge and understanding I can find, best as I can. So don't get me wrong, but I fucking hate this. I miss being steadfast in my ways. I've always desired to be the one who stands firm and defends what he believes is right. When push comes to shove, how can I "do the right thing" when the right thing is hidden under one of a hundred choices being shuffled around like the ball in three-cup shuffle? How is that any different from being a coward?

it's not

This is a meme right? I remember seeing it but I never got it

I never respected genre fiction (including Lord of the Rings) until I read the Silmarillion. I still dislike the fact that the book makes you feel like you're studying a history textbook, the complexity of Tolkien's constructed world is truly amazing.

>still trying to critique Marxist thought through political applications of marxism
it's like none of you faggots encountered so much as a Marxist analysis, let alone actually read Marx. Go to any fucking university class rather than spending your time shitpost in your mother's basement.

it's highly likely that you have no idea of what you're talking about

at all

but you could still read heidegger anyways

>>9562713
You're not answering my question.

Do expand on what you mean, though. I've read a little bit of Capital and his economics seem solid but I fail to understand how his systems would even work in real life. Greed is inherent, I know this because I'm greedy sometimes when I can get away with it. I'm genuinely interested in how this is accounted for by the academics jerking off over Marx.

/pol/: the nightmare

So what if the characters aren't likeable.

>>9562744

It's pretty hard to enjoy a book in which every character is despicable or pathetic

Pick one up and read it, it's that simple, that or don't buy books if you are not planning on reading.

I mean, you could just set a goal and force yourself to it every day. Something tiny even. You'll probably read more than you anticipated if you just start.
