Any good books to start with Neuroscience, I saw this book (pic very related) but its quite expensive and I'm not sure if I would be able to fully understand it with my humanist background. I mostly come from reading history/philosophy and I'm trying to broaden my horizons. Any suggestions?

/lit/, I encountered William Wordsworth at an impressionable age, and now all the poetry I can write is about moping in rugged landscapes.

How do I eradicate this influence from my mind?

Reread Wordsworth. If you think his poetry is about "moping in rugged landscapes" you completely missed what he was working with.
>>
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquility;
The gentleness of heaven broods o’er the Sea;
Listen! the mighty Being is awake,
And doth with his eternal motion make
A sound like thunder—everlastingly.
Dear child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here,
If thou appear untouched by solemn thought,
Thy nature is not therefore less divine:
Thou liest in Abraham’s bosom all the year;
And worshipp’st at the Temple’s inner shrine,
God being with thee when we know it not.

So mopey.

Why have I not seen the website mentioned here before?

As best I can tell, this shit is basically the Soundcloud of writing. Very easy to get picked up by a publication, have your stuff seen by a couple hundred people a day.

I repeat the advice Frank Mankiewics gave to a friend in New York when he started working in Hollywood: "Millions are to be grabbed out here and your only competition is idiots."

Feel free to post profiles, stories if you have them.

How do you manage to read disturbing/depressing literature? I'm reading pic related right now and I'm honestly having a hard time getting through it, not because it's difficult or boring or anything, but because it's just so disturbing to me, imagining the bleak mental institute and the poor fucked up people.

I'm a novice reader so I would appreciate some advice from you guys with a lot more experience with literature than me.

Are there any books (preferably non-fiction but at least explicitly rhetorical) that approach the issue of information as a contaminant? The idea of certain media permanently and irreparably damaging your mind?

Yeah, it's an interesting subject. Thanks to 4chan I've discovered insecurities I didn't even know I ever had. Never been as self-conscious.

It has also made me paranoid about things I never considered. For example sharing washing machines. Or eating things in general.
