Are you in school? Do you have to read the book for a class or to get a certification or for your fucking youtube book reviws?

If the answer is no, don't take notes while you read, you weirdo

This meme didn't really call for me to take notes. Maybe an outline would have helped, remembering who everyone and everything is..

SJW is pretty hot right now. It has been for a couple of years but now it has reach its peak in America, hence its just a matter of time before it gets to the rest of the world with that level. Thing is, literature, movies, etc... travel faster than trends as a whole so when you have 3 movie franchises about rebel teen grill saving the world from an evil fascist dystopia youngsters bite into it in a hope for something that fills their personality in an age where they desperately try to distinguish themselves from their parents and what they perceive to be the "masses" so they go, enjoy the movie about the rebel grill and read the YA fanfic wich is extremely easy to read to a starter reader.
Have you ever wonder why YA fanfic has so many recognizable icons? HP and The Hunger Games has amulets that you can see being sold everywhere no matter if it's a comic con, a book related event or even an otaku convention.

So yeah. Its not that YA fanfic is full SJW, but its plagued with ideas from it and soon enough the next big YA fanfic that will have a 7 part film series will be even more ridiculous and obvious in their intent to propagate their ideology.
At the end of the day literature is a method to express ideas so its only logical that SJW bullshit will make its appearance. The real issue is that there is literally nothing literary worthwhile that promotes any type of social justice thinking.

Suck my sweaty hairy balls.

like genocide or a single person?

>>8250022
Ideally I want to read about a single person going complete apefuck medieval. I don't know if text can capture the essence of thermonuclear rage, though.

Realizing later that it was actually full of hidden truths, and was all around a great existential work of fiction in every regard.

You just haven't popped the existential cherry kiddo

No thanks, I already know the soul is real and immortal because I can remember what it was like to exist before my conception and birth, and I don't need you selling my email account to some spam list.

Those are good books to read, minus Harris. They won't help with depression though.

Harris's "Waking Up" podcast is pretty good. You can listen to that and get his ideas without having to read a whole book.


At the end of the day, OP, you just need to buck up and throw off your jew-induced millennial malaise, you fuckin pussy.

Your problem is you believe that people are only happy because they are deluded. You confirm this because you observe that people who are happy, also believe delusions (e.g. socialism, God, whatnot). You need to realize that is confirmation bias. There is nothing wrong with being happy with yourself or who you are (indeed, what else would you be happy with?). You don't need a good reason to be happy; being happy is enough reason to be happy.

Only self-help book I know you might like is Fuck Feelings by Michael and Sarah Bennett.

Goethe places some wisdom on Faust's lips:
"It's not refreshment you have won
Unless it springs from your own soul."

>>8249856
Mein Kampf was trash and the moral landscape does say happiness is everything. the whole point of the book is maximizing well being for the largest possible number of creatures. also you sound like you need to be locked up. killing nd discrimination doesn't led to the well being of creatures because their will always be people who want to kill you. everyone being n asshole doesnt make the world a better place sorry, im sure you work very hard maintaining the idea that everyone is bad but you one day youll grow up. i agree cultural relativism is bullshit but you really only increase the hate making negative experiences more likely

> buck up and throw off your jew-induced millennial malaise, you fuckin pussy.
so its everyone else's fault? if somebody is mentally ill it isnt them or their brain but the jews pulling the strings? by >>8249856 supremacist mentality doesnt that mean jews deserve to run the world if they supposedly do already? people do crazy things to convince themselves it not their fault their life sucks

Nabokov's stories are very well-crafted, and he portrays his characters with great subtlety and detail. What he lacks is emotion, but that's not what your graph is measuring.

I was hoping for something more serious and much more recent. Like about a guy from the 1980's or later.

one flaw is that nobody gives a shit and I'm all the hoot in the academy

>>8249777
yeah that caused a lot of problems internationally and they're still going. it's not really a flaw in Schopenhauer though because he did try to warn us.

Also >>8249762 read the fucking catalog before posting. this is like the fifth thread on Schopenhauer today because some buttblasted babies keep ditching threads to create new ones about him once anon proves that they haven't read or understood him. they're all still in the catalog, so you don't need to kill threads about shit other than Schopenhauer.

You thought it was good even though you didn't understand it.

>>8249705
It inspired you to finally come out of the closet.

You enjoyed it, were excited to read The Barber, and considered getting some geraniums.

There's just too many god damn books

Countenance the verb is gay, countenance the noun is based. Know the difference.

Not as far as I can see, but there's a few other recent videos on the same general topic of Europe/Brexit.

And sho you see *shniff* the European Union is really the totality of all inverted ideology, the *shniff* body without organsh in sheer metaphysical form

It was one of his better talks, he made some interesting points about power and how it functions today but the bit on brexit wasnt as good, wasn't bad though.
