>>8702282
Me too! Save it, it's all yours my friend :)
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?
i like this book, but its a textbook so i guess it can be considered dry if you arent fascinated by the content, but it is fascinating
this isnt as informative, but its an art book that looks at different types of brain imaging going from drawings to the latest tech stuff. really beautiful.

Seconded
>My book sold 100,000 copies

what would be the athenians literary equivalent to Plutarch's work on Sparta or Marcus Aurelius meditations? i.e. ancient greek texts on how to be a virtuous Athenian citizen in everyday life
Nicomachian Ethic

The Greeks
Is Tu Quoque the most overlooked fallacy?

Yeah

>ANON, HOW CAN YOU OPPOSE CAPITALISM WHEN STILL YOU USE A COMPUTER?
Oh yes.
You can get used to being around people who don't realize when they've made a category error or even care what a category error is, but people incapable of basic dialectical reasoning are like permanent dark holes on your radar, floating listlessly and polluting all the beauty in the world
>>8701725
It's quite possible desu

Notes fro m my diarY lOL!!!!!

You should read the notes your mom keeps inside her lace panties, right in front of her rotted vagina, now those are truly horrible.
eminem - lose yourself
Has anyone read this? It's my favorite book.
What is it about?
>>8701757
Philosophical book about how agriculture was a mistake.
Not OP by the way, but did some research on this book. Haven't read, but intended on doing so.
>>8701498
yes i have. it is also my favorite book. really opened my mind in a time when i was a really closed minded individual.
/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?
Fuck bitches, get high.
>>8701473
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.

Holy...

No.

Cool
How do I speak more eloquently but also refrain from being seen as a pretentious 'intellectual'?
>>8701374
Read a lot of good fuckin books and it will come naturally.
Tend to colorful words and expressions instead of 'refined' ones.
>>8701374
Think before you speak, sprinkle in some slang.
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.
>>8701305
Masturbate while reading to take the edge off desu
>>8701305
>How do you manage to read disturbing/depressing literature?
By not being a massive numale pussified cuck. It's just fucking words on a page
try seeing what's happening to the white race in real life, that's more scary

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?
>>8701205
hehe taking the redpill really is like coming out of Plato's cave.
Women and liberals will never understand memes like we do
>>8701205
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of pure ideology
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.
