Check out Reinhold Niebuhr.

I don't think you can gamify human experience like that mate. Nice bait though.

What's the labour theory of value for cultural capital?

Well, if you have only read the Greeks from that chart then you aren't even finished with the Greeks yet my friend.

You need Euripides, Aeschylus, and then Aristophanes.

Ok. This this is the Ballad of Edgardo. I think it might be my favorite.

>>8350950
antony and cleopatra and coriolanus are his best

hamlet is overrated

>>8350950
>The Tempest

Why does this make your top 5? Besides Prospero, it has nothing to offer

I'd have a better chance of understanding a book in ancient Chinese than comprehending the work of Shakespear.

You may call me a pleb, but I call you a pretentious tryhard.

Characters who act irrational, are self-centered, have powers they don't deserve or never knew they had until that single moment, have not so subtle names, thinks the world revolves around them. Etc, Etc

I forgot to mention that in the end of it all, everything goes their way even if it shouldn't be possible.

The protagonist in the recent Star Wars flick. I forgot her name.

Sorry I just noticed the recommended reading on the sticky.

Apologies.

>tfw I read philosophy books for material for my novels.
I'll misinterpret or go for the most colourful and superficial aspects and nobody can stop me.

You gotta exist.
But when you exist you just wanna shit all over everything cuz it's there for you.
But then you realize there's other people in the world who don't like being shit on.
You're also someone who can be shit on and you certainly don't like that.
What if there's more to the world than just all this shit?
What if this shit only exists because you exist?
What if that's just as good as being in charge of all this shit?
Actually, inside you is a world of shit that goes deeper than all that shit.
But that shit's fine too.
This is the real shit.
Now you know some shit.

>i write novels
haha loser

I dreamed a tall glass of cold iced tea that beaded into dew on outside and rolled down my forearm darkening my jeans where they fell.

I pitched it into the grass, spat, whipped my forehead, and dreamed on.

Last night I had a dream about living in Amsterdam. On my way to the gym, I heard there was a serious threat for an ISIS attack, but decided to go anyway. When I arrived the gym was closed, everything was closed. The only people on the street were curious about the ISIS terrorists and were looking for them, sticking their necks out on every corner. Suddenly, on a street next to a canal, I see two huge black muslims pulling out kalashnikovs. They start shooting everyone in sight, including me.

Then, I woke up. I had been reading Submission before going to bed.

I dreamed that I was comforting some sort of feminine figure who had been sexually assaulted but then I got really horny and started dry humping it which made it cry more then I felt really bad about it.

I wouldn't know but i'm sure "How to think critically and make adult decisions" isn't on the list.

The Book of Mormon contains all you need to know in order to obtain salvation.

Highly recommended supplements include the King James Bible, The Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price.

Mormons are significantly more successful financially than the general population and have a high degree of satisfaction with their personal relationships. Also disproportionately found in positions of influence.

probably a waste of time unless you're seriously interested in marx/historical materialism for academic rather than personal reasons

you're gonna drop it in less than 50 pages anyway

It is primarily an academic venture.

I want to use it to antagonize leftists.

Not by disproving, but by using his concepts to lead to contrary conclusions.

Also curious to see if I can rehabilitate it to a rightist perspective. Nick Land did, so.

Do Edgar's last lines in Lear count?
