because he's an insufferable pop writer and most of /lit/ is 18

>>9958522
Yes he is still relevant and we do talk about him occasionally...

I've read the Moon and Sixpence, of Human Bondage and Cakes and Ale... All were excellent

one of the greatest creators of literary works. even his letters were incredible, and you do realize they weren't released under his wishes. he doubtlessly just wished to write a naughty letter. i bet you five hundred thousand dollars you couldn't write a better one.

probably the most badass homo in history
Concerning his way of thinking you should start with "Sun and Steel". He explains how he discovered the life of the body and how he places it over the life of the mind, he explaines in details why he values body training over mind training.
Basically he says that all intellectuals are untermensch

Other* amusement parks, that should say. My primary interest is Disney, but other theme parks will do.

I feel like there is probably something out there by Zizek that addresses this.

I woke up at 2am sometime last week and couldn't fall asleep so I wrote this in my phone notes til I was tired:
BEING AND CHURCHES
So I go inside this church and I find the secret passage right away. It loops around behind the organ. There's a room back there too. I peek through a hole in the bricks and there's a priest lounged up watchin tv in an eerie green light. He's wearin a pope hat. There's a moose head mounted above the tv. Quite the hunter. I waltz in and ask him what he's up to but he pays me no mind. I walk over to his stained window and peer out. What a view! How high is this secret room!? I didn't climb any stairs. I can see Mrs. Lavelle's big flower garden and a couple lads fishin on the river. Over to my right are three spotting scopes. I knew what I was gonna see but I looked into them anyway. They were pointed at the other three churches in town. I turned my head and gave the priest a look where I furrowed my brow and scrunched up one side of my face.
"Who are you anyway" he says. I laugh. He raises his eyebrows. I gaze through the window for awhile, taking in the cool sights. I turn around.
"Give a young buck some advice old man."
He doesn't move for some time. Is he thinking? Maybe he didn't hear me. Then he jumps up to his feet and gets in a power stance.
"Just be! It's easiest." He says through tensed breath. "Capishe?"
"Capisco." I nod.
He walks over to his Steinway and motions for me to follow. He plays a Chopin nocturne so sensuously it would make an angel cry and maybe even turn into a devil.
"Not bad old man," I say trying to act unimpressed. "You have a lighter?" He flicks one out of front pocket startlingly fast. I light up a camel and he takes one too. We bullshit about if jesus had nietzsche's hair and nietzsche jesus's. I try to coax him into lettin slip the secret of the Absurd but he is a three-lock box.
"You like ravens?"
"Oh yeah" I say as if answering a simple math problem. He whistles and one flies right onto his shoulder out of nowhere.
"Jesus! I didn't know they were this big."
"His name is Ba-Ba Booey."
"Hi Ba-Ba Booey." I raise my forearm to it. He hops on. "Whoa! He's nice!"
"I know" says the priest.
"I'm gonna go now. Autumn twilight walks back to farm are a dose of something weird."
"Okay."
"Can i ring that big bell on my way out?"
"I don't care. But bring me a newspaper and some strawberry puffs next time you visit."
"Okay, bye old man. Bye Ba-Ba Booey." I hear a mutter and a caw behind me. I step out onto some orange leaves with a beautiful nature smell going up my nose, and I am off.

i teached a whale
to jump out of it's tail,
and i blushed at the rail.

answer my question you motherfucker

>>9958317
Don't be so dense.

I can understand you not agreeing with the heavy Jung influenced works of Peterson, but putting a harvard professor's writtings on the same level as those other books is pretty irresponsable.

>>9958288
>What are the main books of this religion or school of thought, and what are the best versions out there
Confucius say, man who do business in whore house get jerked around
Confucius say, gypsies got no babies because gypsies have crystal balls
Confucius say, panties not best thing on earth, but next to it
Confucius say, war not determine who right. War determine who left
Confucius say, woman who put husband in doghouse soon find him in cat house

No need to thank me OP.

T-Thanks anon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Books_and_Five_Classics
is pretty obvious.
Most of them don't have many translations so just get what you can get.
For the 5 classics, aside from the I ching, you will probably only find them in the sacred books of the east which you can get online for free.
I've only read the analects and parts of mencius, they're reasonably accessible.
Ideally you should study the classics but even though I'm chinese and even I gave up after a short time.
Also I ching divinations are good, I've done about 13 so far.

>>9958251
I respect his work but I stopped reading philosophy for over a month after going through (not reading but going through) a brief derangement. I still haven't read anything analytic since now that I think about it

>>9958251
What's not to take seriously? Hardly the most fanciful of analytic philosophers

>>9958212
>Is there anything to the idea that being conscious in this time, when our Earthly human population is at an all-time-high, that it means that the future "must" not have as high of a populace?
The population increases every day, so I don't think this is right at all.

More grimly, does being alive NOW possibly indicate that you could not be alive in the future?
Every second is the future and I'm still here.

>>9958224
You are likely right, but I wonder this based on the notion that tomorrroooooow won't have more prosperous and larger human race that my consciousness could have been apart of, instead of the present. But these are practically stoner thoughts.

what is the best history of western philosophy book series?
i wonder if that one nietzsche was into is translated into english

I have no idea who the fuck that is, but I like the concept of your thread a lot.

Guess the two furry OCs. Both from the same work.
