Read Nietzsche. His philosophical works deal with being an 'active' nihilist in order to overcome being a 'passive' nihilist (which he saw as a disease)

>>9441905
Don't read Nietzsche. His philosophical works deal with being an 'active' nihilist -- but you still stay a nihilist.
>>
>>9441905
I'm the greasy creep by the way. Also, Nietzsche will do the trick.

i read at like 150 wpm, which is like half the speed of the average reader, which means it takes me 15 hours to do something that would take a normal person 7.5 hours. I just can't read knowing this. I'm 22 it shouldn't be like this >:(
how do i improve my reading speed?
Sprint Reader chrome extension helps a lot for digital stuff but it feels like cheating, probably doesnt even help me improve my natural reading

>"More on pop music. It's amazing that this shit is held up as progressive, when really it's an uneducated fool without any teeth and gold chains all over him bragging about selling drugs, murdering people, and how much money he makes. The only difference between that and a minstrel show is that pop music producers have actually found black people to act for them, instead of having to don blackface themselves.
>Then there's America's weird pseudo-protestant fetishization of money as a virtue, as though making a fortune as a paid clown is somehow as virtuous as a doctor, lawyer, or teacher who earned their fortune through their own contributions to society. It seems like most people even think it's more virtuous any more, because doing hard things that actually require some intelligence is seen as "upper class" and thus pretentious/exclusive, whereas any retard can "make it" as a professional idiot.
>Sometimes I feel as though our entire civilization has been hijacked by Satan himself. Everything I see in popular society runs so contrary to anything decent or worth living for. Nothing but an orgy of selfishness, victimization, debauchery, and nihilism. Earlier today I was listening to a podcast called "guys we fucked" or something like that. It's one of Apple's most listened to podcasts, and it basically consists of two uninteresting bimbos saying "fuck" for shock value and being generally bitchy, shallow, and utterly repulsive human beings. This is considered political activism in our post-political secular age.
>The only glimmer of hope I've been able to find is the Quran. Submission to God and living a decent morally upright life, that makes sense. All the noise on the radio and television is nothing but a spiritual and intellectual black hole. It's no wonder Islamists would rather go out in a hail of bullets than accept our "superior" western lifestyle."
Is he right /lit/? Is rap music just a modernized form of the minstrel show?

Well, so much of rap music these days is bragging about how much money you've made and how much stuff you can buy. I guess that's a little minstrel-esque.

What does that do to a society?
More importantly, should media be regulated? It seems like the New Yorker class has a reason for or takes a certain joy in pushing this stuff, so how can society combat that?

Is there a secret to doing self-deprecating humor and getting people in the same group as you to laugh at it instead of being butthurt? Like I make fun of nerds a lot in this thing I'm writing even though I am a nerd and a lot of people who read probably consider themselves some type of nerd.

Right now I'm making an effort to read through Homer, Hesiod, Euripides, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Plato, Aristotle, Herodotus, Thucydides and The Bible.
I was wondering what literature, philosophy and history I should read after Classical Greek literature. There seems to be a wide range of works in Latin within Roman literature and through to Enlightenment/Renaissance (via lingua franca of Europe) and Greek through the Byzantine Empire mostly focusing on history and the theological development of Christianity.
Are there any guides and charts which focus on everything Greek and Latin in post-Classical Greek?

Damn that's pretty dope. I wish there was something as in depth as that which also talked about essential literature from Greeks to modern times.
