CUNTS.

i should have stuck to my guns and insisted "you already sent me a contract, you feeble drobe", but the website has been dead ever since. poor interns are probably sucking cock for cappuccinos.

Right, that's called 'knowledge'.

I wholeheartedly believe that anyone has the potential to become an innovator, you just have to put the effort into understanding the world rationally, and well.

This site, reddit, lesswrong. They all help, because you can DISCUSS concepts on here. You can help yourself progress through life with others and push yourself upward through progressive understanding.

This movie and Finding Forrester, are cringefests of maximum proportion, both by Gus The Hack.

I hate cheap expositional fragments like the kid in Finding Forrester lecturing some guy about the history of BMWs or Will Hunting telling Robin Williams's character his painting is shit by spouting artistic techniques he butchers.

Normies are like wow that guy knows stuff, i now believe he is a genius!!

"Realize" implies uncovering a hidden truth. So no.

>>9167905
Are you implying that Adam Smith is ironically retarded or not retarded at all? There are a couple more possibilities but these two are the most basic.

>>9167899
No but it's worth reading. George and Smith have a very similar view towards absentee landlords and rentiers but George ends up becoming too libertarian about other non land based rents and the means to combat exploitation.

we must secure the existence for our white children, fuck those french cucks

>>9167879
no, we must love those in need and help them through our good actions.

your racism is a prison that you have constructed yourself out of lies and hatred. destroy it as you would a bird's nest.

>>9167906
Why would you destroy a bird's nest you dumb cuck?

damn I thought he was black. guess I'll buy one of his books

he's kind of a prick in interviews. he did write a pretty banging short story, though, so maybe that excuses it.

>>9167799
i always thought he was black too, desu. i think harlan sounds like harlem and ralph ellison is a famous black author, so its a subconscious kind of thing.

>>9167784
Download Uncle Harley's books. It infuriates him.

depends on the genre. Like orchestral for action/ fantasy, piano and violin for classics.

I guess it sorts of works if it's low volume.

>>9167774
I listen to music when I write, because I write in short bursts, I'll sit and think for 5 minutes and write for 30 seconds. When I'm reading it is at a fairly constant speed, and music just distracts me.

To the guy in the last thread who had a question about a tarot passage involving the King of Cups, I was thinking about a totally different passage more in the center of the book.

If you post the page numb though I'll read it and give you my impression.

>Think the book is a big bullshit meme? Think Pynchon is for hipsters?
But both of these assertions are true and self-feeding. Few if any people still read it for any literary value it might have but rather as a bragging by a group of people who revel in the "undergroundness" while clearly only having parse it and read the wiki site. Why make a thread to encourage these insufferable cunts to ask questions so they can fake having read the book and act smugly superior to everyone else?

Is British candy really as bad as Slothrop made it seem? Also the chapter about Blicero and katje and the oven thing seemed to last forever.

>>9167687
That there Satanic Book, OP, is also a great book. Maybe Huysmann's best-- the astrologer in the tower, the interpolated history of G d'R, the kooky Madame de C-- HUGELY underrated.

Not helping with your homework kiddo.

any books that defend narcissism? or that will convince me to do immoral things for money?

Aristotle

Read the Small Summa.

Then read the De Malo.

Then read the big Summa.

Finally when you're so holy you levitate, tackle the Summa Contra Gentiles.

Start with Aquinas by ignoring the tubby bitch completely.

>>9167516
Was he really that fat? Lmao

Why doesn't the church ever bring that part up?

>>9167139
No.

Marketing is practical philosophy.

>>9167268
fuck. That's depressing

>>9167139
Psychoanalysis is not philosophy (unless you subscribe to esoteric lacanian values). It's more like a talking cure. the resolution which the analyst draws out of your words aren't necessarily statements of fact or poignant philosophisations, their only use is to encourage you to rethink your current position and direct you towards making positive changes to your life. Always remember the signifier is arbitrary, you aren't going to make a startling philosophical revelation through psychoanalysis. That's not its endgame.

>>9167079
Don't you mean mathematicians? Any attempt to properly investigate randomness is a mathematical effort, and anyone who pretends otherwise is wrong.

TALEB

>>9167100
you might be right, but i'm a humanities fag, so i need philosophers, i need good texts on the subject.

Nice old RCFs.
