back to /x/ familam. Crowley was a dopehead, and only impresses on sheeplets and other dopeheads.

BTFO by Stirner

Now this is just my opinion, if you read the novel it states that he was going though alot of depression in he life sometimes depression will make you do that.

>Bonus question: Which one's your favorite?

Neither. Modern political debates a pseudo-problem shit.

Return to Aristotle.

My memory isn't very good so my favorite is usually something I just read.
Right now the dual scene in a hero of our time is my favorite action scene. My heart was pounding the whole time (could be partially due to the coffee).

>>8164798
The judge making gunpowder out of brimstone and piss was pretty good

>>8164821
By dual I mean duel

>>8164706
Fassbinder is cringe-core.

>>8164712
This isn't about that it's just an image I had that seemed fitting.

Masculinity is eternal, unchanging and infinite. Whether you can tap into it or not is on you.

>>8164687
it's on my to-read list
sorry for unhelpful post, have a bump

>>8164690
Thanks man. What's keeping you from reading it? I recently bought it off Amazon and I kind of plunged into it. If you are afraid you'll need to know Wittgenstein before you read it, I didn't find it hard to follow through and I haven't read a page of W's in my life. I'm certain some stuff went over my head, but it was still really enjoyable.
Definitely check it out.

I read this book once.
Didn't finish it.
Brazillia is the capital of Brazil.
Wardine be cry.
I didn't really understand it desu.

Suicide.

>>8164643
Accept it or kill yourself, is it that extreme?

>>8164640
>i read it as accepting the bullshit and not fighting back
it's more acknowledging the inherent absurdity of the world and, more importantly, recognizing that it is immeasurably larger than you. "Fighting back" is a foolish response against an infinite system that doesn't acknowledge you.

>>8164584
As I lay dying was pretty baller for the 50 pages I read while shitfaced on rye. I read the rest sober though.

>>8164584
I generally find reading while drunk impossible. Not a fan of drinking alone either.

>What would you call people who are /lit/ but have never actually read a book?
Not /lit/.

Millennial wews is a chainsmoking NEET who somehow manages to white knight women while being literally gay

He has no right to espouse traditionalist views given he's a massive degenerate

He claims that even the degenerates can see the need to have a traditionalist society even if they struggle to fit in it.

don't write anime stories

I have the same feeling when writing scripts, it's almost like I'm engaging is some sinful debauchery. Can't imagine how amplified this feeling would be if I was doing anime.

>>8164507
I'm trying to write a story about a girl who is alone on a island after a shipwreck and desires a friend, then finds a pirate treasure with some female demon who'll she have to gain her trusts.

I'm sure it's better or more serious than most anime, but still feels super cringe.

You could compare both of those to We by Yevgeny Zamyatin.

1984 a shit
Huxley got it right


Also, have any of you read BNW Revisited?

He's only riffing off stirner. That's not much stirner content sans the quote

Enjoying people and possessions when you don't indentify with them? Seems paradoxical

>>8164436
this your "unknown american philosophy" is a shitty new age rendering of buddhism

you don't need to abandon your possessions, just pretend that they don't matter while you are enjoying them :^)

i also snorted at that line how
>Esoteric knowledge clears up every confusion created by lack of understanding.

I really wouldn't know but Richard Zenith's edition of the Book of Disquiet is the best edition of the book. If you see Richard Zenith on the cover, buy it.

>>8164460
is there much difference betwen Richard Zenith's version and Phillip Pullmans?

Is this anything like BoD?

>>8164318
Capote had a crush on Perry Smith. Otherwise a great book.

Fantastic novel. Don't consider it a 'true crime' book, as there are so many embellishments on the truth it can't have any claim to legitimacy. But that's what makes it genius. Capote shows that it is impossible for someone to be impartial in a world they are a part of, and all we can do is communicate our respective reality tunnels
