>caring about opinions of random strangers
The only opinions you should care about are your family, friends and business partners.

>>9082590
Any pro tips on how to trick myself into thinking like that?

Someone being not close by for me to penalize and make them stop sharing their opinions doesn't render them void or shut them up

What's wrong with feeling hate? Why do you want to change it?

Write down words you don't know, look at them every day, try to guess the meaning without looking it up. As the Dutch say, "STAMPEN!"

>>9082422
Why are you even using words you don't know? You have no understanding of them, at least beyond a dictionary definition.
How would you even know if they are appropriate to use, if a given person would use them, what impression they give the reader?

However based on your idiotic question I assume you have bigger issues in your works, especially with such a low IQ and a complete inability to solve even the simplest problems on your own.

I'm reading ancient history now. almost done. loving it so far. it's also killing me on the inside because much of whats going on is shrouded in mystery.

>>9082328
also /lit is tooooo pleb for mcelroy. they aren't smart enough to read him.

Women and Men will be hard imo no matter what; the book is extremely fractured and essentially works as this massive mythos which you just have to adjust yourself to.

What's this? Zodiac?

>This is the Zodiac speaking.
I am the murderer of the taxi driver over by Washington St + Maple St last night, to prove this here is a blood stained piece of his shirt. I am the same man who did in the people in the north bay area.
The S.F. Police could have caught me last night if they had searched the park properly instead of holding road races with their motorcicles seeing who could make the most noise. The car drivers should have just parked their cars and sat there quietly waiting for me to come out of cover.
School children make nice targets, I think I shall wipe out a school bus some morning. Just shoot out the front tire + then pick off the kiddies as they come bouncing out.

this was the only story I read in my highschool english class before I moved

The problem of induction especially over time is pretty relevant, though that's a continuation of Hume. Most all of the ones you listed are still relevant in philosophy (Pythagoras not so much but he's taught in mathetmatics to school children, no?) especially in regard to ethics, metaphysics, or even media and mass control. Habermas for instance is influenced by Kant and a range of philosophers influenced by Hegel and/or Nietzsche.

we need more science

not that gay meaningless philosphy shit going around in circles

fuck trump

>>9082161
philosophy is alive and well

When you said overuse of vocabulary, pretentiousy, biblicaly I thought of Eliot. It's not melodramatic nor goofy tho.

Shakespeare?

>>9082113
pretty much stunning genius at every turn. i wish i were meming, could tell you it's trash and that you shouldn't bother, but this is definitely non-trash bothering material.

>>9082117

>>9082113
canon of western literature condensed into one book

>>9082104
Nope, it isn't. There is no place where fiction is heading.

>>9082104

I've given it serious thought.

Yes, Molly O'Keefe for example.

>WH40k books
>can't find a buyer

Donate them to whatever library/schools nearby that will take them. Is this really that difficult for you?

>>9082016
>Majority of them are WH40k books.
There's your problem. Books have lowest resale value already, but besides self help books, the books with the lowest possible resale value are King and WH40K books.

>Reading a book were you have to stop every sentence to meditate on what you have just read.

You wouldn't have done it anyway.
