What do you think about mainstream news? Do you consume it on a regular basis? Which publications have you found to be more honest and worthwhile to read?

What are your views on current mainstream media in general?

how it feels, three most influential philosophers from Germany was actually Poles?

Schopenhauer
>Gdańsk

Stirner
>he practically grew up in Poland ; Chełm

Nietzsche
>Niecki to be precise
>" "I am proud of my Polish descent."
>"I thank Heaven, that in all of my instincts I am a Pole and nobody else".
>""I am enough Polish, to give away all the music of the world just in exchange for Chopin"

Nietzsche is the only influential philosopher listed

Europe used to be more mixed

Here I am again, responding autistically to bait
>>
>>9064169
i'm not talking about trivially interpreted nationality, but metaphysical. ALl three reflected polish individualism.

>poland individualism stronk since "liberum veto"

>>9064157
>stirner
>influential

>schopenhauer
>implyijg that he is not remembered only because Nietzsche spent a decade debunking everything he said

What is the phenomenon called when people first do something that's good for them when it's already too late?

Example:
Wait until your teeth ache before going to a dentist

Only start exercising when you already have bad knees and back pain when exercising before would have prevented it

Is Urth of the New Sun worth a read? I'm making my way throught BotNS now, currently on Sword of the Lictor, and was wondering if I should read this when I'm done with the series.

>>9064078
It's good, but not necessary.
>>
>>9064078
I'm wondering as well

My fear is that it might be one of those books where the author answers questions about the original series that might better be left unanswered, but I don't even know what it's about so my fears are hopefully unfounded
>>
>>9064078
>>9064208
The questions of BotNS that require answers are apparently buried within it if you're attentive enough but I was too stupid and Im really happy I read Urth and got them answered, though it introduces plenty of new questions.
It's fine continuation but I will say it doesn't quite have the magic of the original. It expands the scope of the story and goes to some weird places and I honestly couldn't say whether it hurts or betters the story.
It's Gene Wolfe, that's for sure.

I get distracted easily when writing on the computer, and my handwriting is shit on paper. Is it time to fall for the typewriter meme? I feel like it'd just be super convenient to have everything I type be printed immediately.

Flow. Readability.

you read enough good books until you undestand what is usually acclaimed as good, then you compare things

but there is no real answer (albeit you will find some really good ones that may or may not appeal to you); ultimately you just have to bee yourself, just stick your ass in someone and die
