Just don't take advantage of someone for your personal gain to their detriment.

It's pretty common sensically delicious, in my opinion.

Read Musashi

Put yourself in a mental state where you rely on the kindness and love of others to not kill yourself. Enough drugs might do the trick.

They're nae bad, only read Player of Games and Use of Weapons tho

i once compiled a list of SF futures and what you could expect if you lived in them. Banks' Culture was the only one i could find where you wouldn't be raped, murdered, tortured or enslaved.

Where to start with Iain M. Banks? My local library has a ton of his books but I have no idea what to read first.

catcher in the rye
vurt
the virgin suicides
city of god
any murakami
infinite
the razors edge

He's a relatable writer 2bh

is that a lil microphone peepin out behind his ear?

I don't get the fascination with this guy. His prose is mediocre and other than that he's just a nihilistic pervert. You'd have a hard time throwing a stone in a critique thread without it hitting a Houllebecq.

>Unironically supporting Neverton

He should be using his spare time to learn positioning, and not be caught off everytime a paceynigger plays on that side of the pitch.

>He never knew any women other than his sister and probably died a virgin

Easy there big nuts, he was involved in a love triangle.

>A complete fraud and hypocrite.

Savage.

But isn't philosophy just one large intellectual war between frauds and hypocrites?

Anyways, I took the things I liked about Nietzsche with me and threw out the stuff I thought wasn't useful. Don't take it too seriously.

I usually wing short stuff. Longer works I definitely have a loose plan.

i start by winging it, lots of shit falls out, i put it in an outline, voila

Benjamin on Mechanical Reproduction is a (maybe the) classic, and is interesting in the context of contemporary digital reproduction.

'Quantum storytelling' is defined here as an intra-activity and intra-penetration of materiality and storytelling...

Our spiraling-antenarrative through the vast "outer space" with all its "sidereal distances" is not as vast as the depths of the inner and invisible -space

Spiral-antenarrative is a pattern of manifesting interlocking paths, each a series of episodic encounters between individual self-efficacy and collective-efficacy with once-occurrent-Being

>Not feeling sympathy for the Trojans.

Even the Greeks who listened to the Iliad were sympathetic to the Trojans, I think.

My model is very similar to the picture in this post. It's not a looker but it's built like a tank and all the tab/indent tools work like a charm. Someday I might want a typewriter where I don't have to press quite so hard, but at least this model lets you adjust how difficult it is to press the keys. There are a lot of little options like that.

last time i had to buy spools i got two for three bucks online, and i think shipping was about that. most office supply places around here don't carry them.
i normally only use mine if i need a printed letter.

That's the best one tbqh OP. The others are pretty boring and pedantic. Feyerabend is kinda fun. Foucault is good too but he goes way beyond just science, so isn't usually classified as a philosopher of science.

herbert butterfield - the origins of modern science

But the claim of irrationality in the transition between paradigms has been heavily criticized.
