No.

Here's why: Evola has an agenda and message I can detect through the cover.

Read The Secret of the Golden Flower. Read Campbell's Oriental Mythology. These are works are by westerners, so *especially* be sure to read Easwaran's Dhammapada first. These three will ease you into a legit understanding of Buddhist thought and the differences between east and west and why they exist.

Thank you anon

There's an entire subgenre of anarcho-primitivist writing based around the Unabomber Manifesto. There was also a fictionalized account of the Son of Sam killings that, iirc, was well received.

I'm gonna say that anything decent on the subject of the Zodiac Killer is gonna be buried under heaps of trash.

>>9778613
I'm mostly interested in these people for their relationship to the media as anonymous or vague characters. I think that, at least with the two I mentioned since I don't know much about Unabomber, that their murders seem to be swarmed by a bunch of loose narratives that many people tried to work to their own advantage.

The ideology of these killers is not so interesting, as I think they're all disturbed and unjustified anyway.

anarcho-primitivism preceded Kaczynski.

I was going to take your bait but then I realized that a so-called "Renaissance" was only capable of producing literature that is easily digestible to adolescents. So, . . . You are kind of right . . .

Its all just so bad.

Not even trying to be a Dick about it but you can totally see that its just boomer liberals who wrote the text books throwing a bone to blacks

Countee Cullen was pretty good. It's unfortunate that he was so often accused of essentially being an "Uncle Tom" for writing in a traditional poetic style.

Just read medieval Italian literature.

Only the personified idea of the boipucci

....so thats a no, then?

whatever you do, do not buy the short version. It reads like a buzzfeed article.

other books that might interest you

>influence, the psychology of persuasion (cialdini)
not political, just a list of psychological tricks used in sales and marketing

>the art of war (sun tzu)

ontology.

understanding the limitations of access through transcendentalism and moving forward anyways.

if you want to work your way through "legitimate" mysticism, you must work your way through kant, understand what he destroys, and then the movement beyond that limitation
