Is CGP Grey /Lit/ approved?
>>9998234
I like him for some reason in spite of the Reddit factor. I think he is a secret disciple of Nick Land.

fpbp.
CGP Grey explains complicated things well in quality presentations. Sure, he's adored by Reddit but being accessible isn't an aesthetic crime. Unless you're an autist from 4chan, of course.
Taking this opportunity to plug one of my favorite youtube channels, Ahoy, and his excellent Iconic Arms series:

Good luck buddy. Vocabulary is graspable (less words than in the English language), but grammar is such a bitch in polish.

Is Psychoanalysis a science? If so, what kind of research can we develop?
>>9998194
Yes

psychoanalysis is not a science. Freud never referred to it as being a form of science, rather it was a field he pursued because of a deadlock of certain scientific approaches to understanding the mind. then again, the idea that only scientific fields can have some truth value is an anglo delusion, and, as with all anglo delusions, it must be purged swiftly from the brain before it develops into full-blown autism
What should I read if I want to learn how to write philosophy? Not just to understand it, but the principles of writing and presenting your own thought.

Yeah. Freud's great inspiration in the flesh, as it were.
Sounds like a great title for my Anzu tranny rape fanfic.

Never trust a white man,
Never kill a Jew,
Never sign a contract,
Never rent a pew.
Don't enlist in armies;
Nor marry many wives;
Never write for magazines;
Never scratch your hives.
Always put paper on the seat,
Don't believe in wars,
Keep yourself both clean and neat,
Never marry whores.
Never pay a blackmailer,
Never go to law,
Never trust a publisher,
Or you'll sleep on straw.
All your friends will leave you
All your friends will die
So lead a clean and wholesome life
And join them in the sky.
I've been getting into philosophy, and I decided to start with the Pre-Socratics. I've got books on Heraclitus, Parmenids,Empedocles and a book on early greek philosophy and the sophists. Yet i can't find this book fucking anywhere.
Does anyone have a file, or a copy they're willing to scan?
Has anyone read the whole Barsoom series? Is it worth continuing past the first book.
Also, Victoria Era and turn of the century sci fi general.
The first 3 work as a trilogy so you should read those at least
So who was right?
You have to imagine Prometheus as a happy guy

Also, check out Shelley's Promethius Unbound. Like Milton's Samson Agonistes and Wilde's Salome, remarkably straightforward and clear.
They both were right, anon. It all pends whose side youre on.
So my girlfriend has trouble sleeping and it helps her if I tell her a bedtime story. Sometimes I just make it up and sometimes I take inspirations from other films and books I can recall. They have to be short, happy ending and sort of calming. We are both in our twenties. If anyone has any suggestions or their own original stories I would be very thankful<3
Hello /lit/, I need some books for these 3 weeks, I have an important exam coming and since it looks like I'm an inmature faggot who can't stop procrastinating I uninstalled all my videogames and banned al the dumb webpages on Chrome, so I'll just study, lift and read these days. Basically some fun enough books that keep me motivated and encourage me to be a better person. Thanks.
