Reading Musonius: Lectures and Sayings. It's alright, but he's definitely a lot more simplistic and Greek than Epictetus or Aurelius.

>The subexpression before the colon refers to: The subexpression after the colon is self contained.
Should the subexpression after the colon be capitalized or not?

Not unless you're starting a new line, but it's incorrect in any case. A colon should only be placed after a complete clause, not a sentence fragment.
>The subexpression before the colon refers to the following: the subexpression after the colon is self-contained.
Incidentally, this isn't programming: we call them "clauses," not "subexpressions."

/lit/, why is evil sexy?

Sexy as in, what opens up females to reproducing?
Perhaps an act of evil then correlates to an act of power (as any act requires, at least some amount of power)
And the openness to reproduction with a mate, may have some relation to power
So, thusly, perchance your conclusion mayhap conclusive

/lit/ - Literature

Hello,
I've been interested in philosophy for quite a long amount of time, but I've set it aside until now as I believed I wasn't exactly mentally developed enough. I still think that I've not advanced exactly far, though further than where I was when it first crossed my mind as a something I'd like to devote a large amount of my time to.
The question that I would like to ask is, are there any papers or books that deal with understanding philosophy, as in, the most objective way as to how to understand and or digest what you come across in philosophy and so on.
With that, even though I believe that I might be skipping a bit, which philosophers deal with self reflection and ways of thinking, though when I say ways of thinking I'm not exactly certain as to what I'm looking for, as my knowledge in this field is extremely limited. Probably something along the lines of critical thinking without it crossing in the biased territory right away.
I'd like to thank you in advance for any replies.

Philosophy undergrad here.
If you're looking for a book then what you're looking for is Russel's introductory book "The Problems of Philosophy".
You will also have to find resources on logic, critical thinking and principle of charity in order to think in philosophical manner. My university is not in English so I can't suggest you too much here but "Thinking from A to Z" is a good English book to start thinking critically.

James Ellroy, American Tabloid.
Not sure what exactly you mean by "redpilled" in this context, but it has the CIA, the FBI, and the Mafia arrange it, so there should be something in it for you.

Kraut here, so english is also my second language but after years of not being able to focus, it was easier for me to start again in english, simply because I wasn't as easily distracted and I had to actually focus instead of just reading it without that anything would stick.
Just choose something light from your personal interests.

Is serial experiments lain the greatest commentary on the Internet yet created? Has any literature come out to surpass it, or will a chinese cartoon remain forever superior? This isn't an ironic question: I actually see barely any literature that so deeply explores this modern phenomena

Commentary or critique?
I think Walter Benjamin tried to establish a difference between both of them. Maybe critique is the proper term.
I have only recently have begun writing, and found it rather difficult to write the begging of the story. The middle and end are simple enough, but the start of everything is the most important as I see it, and its feels just horribly awkward when I begin the first paragraph.
I need advice. How do I engage the reader properly as well as smoothly?

depends on the way you want to write stylistically.

you spelled beginning wrong.

Well i think the best you can do is get feedback from a friend who isnt afraid to be honest.
And to be willing to rewrite a lot i have the same thing and in my current project i have rewritten the first 3 chapters about 8-9 times i gave up and am rewriting the whole novel again...
