kill yourself retard

It isn't the man that does the killing, it is the sword.

Freud goes a little too far and ends up sounding too removed from reality in most of his writings, but the bare foundation for his school of thought is correct. Anyone who disagrees is ignoring basic primal nature.

There's a reason anti Freud people tend to be repressed right wing waspy Christians and moral alarmists.

how do you read him? is there a good order and any texts you have to read before him?

>>9879063

The two most foundational books are three essays on sexuality & the interpretation of dreams

From there, it's up to you to decide what you want to read. I liked civilization and its discontents personally

Feminist women (like here) dominate the publishing and agent world, which is probably why so many good books are going unpublished nowadays. That's why we get Hunger games ripoff #1167, and Milk and Honey

I just don't understand it, man. I am reading these feminist theory texts, theses, and articles, and all I see is the same stuff (like in the OP) repeated all over again. I thought it was a meme before I started reading it, but it's all true.

I swear to god, it's all about sex, vaginas, rape and these mystical female interpretations of the world which are linked to their lack of voice under the patriarchy.

It must be so easy being a feminist critic. You just learn these few points and apply them to every text you read...

>Is the accreditation from a University?

Noone thinks that.

>>9878850
So what is it that makes one a legitimate intellectual?

>intellectual

Actually researches and makes new contributions to their field of choice. While they might occasionally try to bring their work to people outside their field, they're more interested in advancing knowledge and sharing said knowledge with the people who might be most capable of doing some with it.

>pseudo-intellectual

No much more than a summarizer of content, just slightly more accredited than your average journalist. Works primarily if not solely for the public eye. Overly concerned with advancing "intellectualism", while not realizing that what they're doing makes it harder for actual intellectuals to do what they do best.

These mostly apply to "public" people, but you can easily adapt them to regular Joe Schmoes.

Use the hue slider.

Has anyone here read the Fire of Heaven trilogy by Russell Kirkpatrick?

I would really like to talk about it with someone because it's such an interesting mess but I've never met anyone who has read it.

Do you read any classic books? Or philosophy?
I don't.

i think he was heavily influenced by marx, the way he connects with the proletariat and looks out for their interests the way machiavellian clintons or classical liberal republican cannot. moreover, philosophers hitherto have only interpreted the world, the point is to change it, which he is doing.

Plus his obsession with cucking

Brékkek Kékkek Kékkek Kékkek! Kóax Kóax Kóax!

This is the sound "kek"
4chinners mean for their "kek" to be a mistype of "lol". Like adding the "1" at the end of exclamation points with a "2" or "5" or something
Example.

I feel nothing because I'm not a retard who believes either gender is inferior or superior to the other intellectually

>>9878104
TBQH I wasn't really asking from that perspective. I'd also be curious what a gay man/lesbian woman who is /lit/ thinks when they meet a guy/girl even more /lit/ than them.

I think if Highsmith looked at me like that, I'd take my clothes off in public.

>is it worth reading the text of a religion which was core to western civilisation for about 2000 years

Gee I dunno, you tell me?

No, only read what you agree with. Why spend time trying to understand things that don't align with your worldview?

>>9876784
I'd recommend reading some amount of Christian Apologetics first if you have an absolutely minimal understanding of Christianity.

CS Lewis's Mere Christianity gives a decent insight into Christian philosophy and belief and will give you a better grounding when going into the Bible.

Yeah, Homo Sacer and State of Exhibition are great but pretty dense, especially the first.

Any of his other works easier to get into maybe?

Jordan B. Peterson

>japanese literary giants

It's not just japanese. You get to a certain state of self-awareness and intelligence and naturally come to the conclusion that life is too burdensome to suffer
