Ah yes! This delusional criminal again.

Well, really, this image is pretty amusing - his online presence is only noticed (barely, at that, as I imagine most lurkers have no clue who he is and even those on Shmups are forgetting) because of his persona: his writings don't stand to any critical analysis, his persona is worshipped by those who agree with him.

Whereas here on this great image board, posts (being thoughts) are evaluated on their merit, not the persona of the thinker. And while this DOES encourage a lot of shitposting, some of the most important dialogues I've had in my formative years have been with strangers on some of these boards. Not so much anymore as this site has become more mainstream, but there are still quality posts out there and people who would love to have a real conversation with you right here on 4chan.

Anyway, just my 2 cents about this image.

Shitty bait but made me wast 30seg typing this shit 5/10

I also think the learning of languages is a pretty pointless affair unless there is a specific reason for wanting to do so. If it is just to say "I'm a polyglot" and get recognized by normies, then please stop. If there is a specific culture or literature you want to connect with, then by all means, please do so. But one doesn't get better at writing English prose or poetry by spending their days grinding vocabulary on Anki or working through grammar books and watching movies and reading children's books in a foreign language. If your primarily goal is to write better, then I would spend more time writing in the language you plan to write in.

Start with the Critique of Pure Reason.
Actually, read the stanford page on Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Hegel himself then read Science of Logic.

>>9852380
Start with The History of Philosophy- very readable, and takes one through the Greeks, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the early modern period, etc. profoundly.
