because compassion implies both the suffering and boredom he thought life consisted of is expanded beyond your own experience

>>9839297
He thought people couldn't get excited enough to act on their compassion albeit having it.

>>9839297
Because compassion/empathy requires exposing yourself to situations of self-sacrifice and most people are all about "muh dick", thus following the lack of self-sacrifice and rising individualism already apparent in the XIX century he become more and more pessimistic.

had to for design school.
any paper you like will do- the folds aren't sharp, so cracking shouldn't be an issue.

>>9839290
The only papers I've ever used are photographic which usually crack when bent (not that I'd use that kind of paper). Other than that I've just printed dollar posters at staples. Do you remember what you used?

>>9839352
90 weight probably. It wasn't anything special. Any heavy matte paper will work. If you're looking for something really fancy, then I suggest going to a printers, where us students spent most of our money. Depending on the quality of the shop, they'll have a variety of papers you can choose from- color, feel, weight etc. Might cost a little, but not a lot, and if you're jonesing for that professional feel without a lot of experience, then that's probably the best bet.

I think I dunn got goofed.

Didn't know that was going on but I'm just about to start the last chapter

Idk what happened. I hadn't planned on participating, but I ended up picking it up anyways, about 150 pages in. We could always start it ourselves

Nowhere, murder is okay if you don't get caught. Especially considering she was a piece of absolute shit.

Why is Willy Wonka killing Steve Howe with an axe

It's alright. Some of my favorite works are cyberpunk but I dont have a big fetish for it. Half the time its just an aesthetic.

>>9839076
It has produced very readable quality books, even the better titles aren't that good.

It also got everything wrong, reading earlier titles cause secondhand embarrassment towards the authors.

>>9839076

Not much of a genre when only two books are worth reading.

>when you realize the singularity is retarded

Alice sounds kinda arrogant.

>>9839004
Alice, however, did nothing wrong, and was also in the right

Bob should have forfeited everything else as he violated the previously signed trade contract thus the NAP itself, giving alice the right to repossess bob's entire stock of everything else

Hi this is a literature board not a books on any given random subject board. Maybe you'd be better off asking the board that actually relates to your interest.

You'd better go and ask /out/. Most that you'll get here is probably Walden.

Growth of the Soil by Knut Hamsun is fantastic.

I would not be surprised to find, years later, that this exact era is home to many important philosophers, but that they work in blogs (e.g. Mencius Moldbug, etc, though I don't like his work) because the academy is rotted and still rotting.

And if so, why?

>Heidegger, Sartre, Freud, Jung etc. Now all we have is Zizek.
these are all brainlets who are not good at rigorous thinking
>Wittgenstein
he unfortunately suffers from mental illness. He's like a car with a great engine whose steering wheel has been rigged to drift and be unreliable

books are printed in sections
you can see the effect in the books in pic related
the numbers are the section numbers (probably together with a book id) so the printers can make sure they are collated correctly

>>9838782
>Does anyone know what that number at the bottom of the page means?
That's a page number anon. It let's you know how far into the book you are. So if it says 50, you've read 50 pages, and if the book has 100 pages, that means you're halfway through :)

seconded about the hermit lifestyle book chart

Why do you need a reading group for something you can easily read in a week or so?

>>9838702

I don't know it feels less intimidating, I have seen some threads here that go through difficult books 50 pages at a time and convene each day and discuss and that is suited to my numbskullery.

>>9838703
paradise lost is not a particularly difficult book. if you've read Homer's verse epics you should be fine.

I want to write a story about a failed Nietzschean. Someone who, after going through rough times and turning to philosophies like Stoicism, finds new inspiration and vigorously goes after the whole life-affirming deal, only to be met with a Zarathistra-at-the-marketsquare experience and burn out, launching into a new crisis.
I don't want to actually name Nietzsche or the Stoa or anyone though, it needs to be something timeless and fundamentally human that is easy to connect to.
