I'm surprised lit, nobody wants to help me be a better human being?

Start with the Greeks

forgot to ask, what are some good books on the presocratics so I know everything before I go to Plato? I'm reading Robin Waterfield's book

>>9876495
What's there to understand about them? lol

Of course not. If you understand something completely the first time you read it then there probably wasn't much to gain from reading it. The fact that you're struggling is the biggest sign you should keep going.

Are you a rapefugee?

Look up James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis.

Don't believe the hype about global warming (ahem I mean "climate change"). It's a scam offered to useful idiots by the political class. The planet will absolutely survive anything humanity can throw at it. Even nuclear war. Given several million years, Earth will be fine.

>>9876412
Thank you for that but my question was more along the lines of: Is there anyone who says we should kill ourselves to leave the planetary ecosystem alone ?

>>9876306
yes. MM here.

>>9876308
Hey MM, it's me. Glad you enjoyed those subs.

Hello Mary.

are you a college freshman? if so sure why not, it'll be radical times, and you might be able to fuck some rich girl who resents her capitalist dad, on the other hand if you are a grown man, you need to delete that

>>9875931
This. Adults that are unironically marxists are fucking embarrassing.

I have already read the Greeks.

ftfy

idk Goethe?

Keep on the path. If you want to get out of philosophy, read the greek tragedies, the epics from roman empire.
Follow the timeline the sameway you would do with philosophy..

>>9875786

I say I have started with the Greek as I haven't finished them yet.

>>9875816

Roger that.

I feel that

thats not vended black coffee in a disposable cup

>>9875764
It's worse its instant coffee with milk.

aristotle

I unironically think Nick Land qualifies as an INTERESTING philosopher, if nothing else. Sure, he may be wrong about a lot, but there are plenty of philosophers worth studying who were wrong about a lot.

Timothy Leary

>preface explains why books shouldn't have prefaces

You should only fall for this once, and if you go in /lit/ enough, not at all

Preface and introductions shouldn't be read, so (in any hypothesis)?

How do I become an editor?

Currently a lawyer, want to be an editor.

>>9875634
I was a news editor for my college newspaper. One of the reasons I quit was because I spent so much time editing my staff's shit articles I couldn't focus on my other duties. One guy was ESL and I decided it was easier to fire him than teach him not to write like a retard.

>>9875634
this isn't that bad...
