That's why you're smarter than all of them put together, OP. Don't try to go faster.

Speed reading is a meme.
don't fall for it.

Hey I recognize that guy. He frequents the local pub on Saturdays. Very protective about his private life.

I check SlateStarCodex and Samzdat.com daily, though they don't update that frequently. I'm also a fan of The Last Psychiatrist, though he hasn't updated in years.

I used to check Nick Land's blog a lot but he's been pretty thin on actual content for awhile now and I'm tired of watching autistic graduate students and unironic Nazis bicker with each other in the comments. Moldbug's blog's okay for a read but he, too, delights in his edginess a little too much. I think he's right about the Puritan roots of contemporary leftism, though.

SSC and Samzdat are both highly critical of the establishment while also resisting the urge to wander into edgelord territory. Land and Moldbug both started out there and just kept on going.

He's very good, but I don't see him being studied in the future. Maybe just in France, and even then not much.

I don't even know what gender my authors are.
I don't want to say something as obnoxious as "I don't see color" or some shit, but goddamn, books are really THE medium were gender and ethnicity don't matter. The quality of the work is literally in your hand to see. You could print a book without author or title and it wouldn't change my enjoyment (or lack thereof) of the book at all.

i probably have far better taste in female writers than that stupid middlebrow bitch in OPs pic but this post is total reductionist horseshit.

>I don't even know what gender my authors are.

have you read hegel?

>>9723764
Either/Or and honestly that is the only thing I liked. If your are interesting in larping as a Christian you might like "The Sickness Unto Death"

Anybody here know Danish? How different is the original vs translations?

I'm asking because I know intermediate level German and I've heard that Danish is a pretty similar language.

I'm confused: are you looking for fiction or nonfiction?

What are you expecting to read? Harry Potter's adventures fighting supernatural ghosts on the middle ages with deep philosophical discussions and well-constructed and deep characters?

Oh fuck off there is no reason that in a time period obsessed with mystiscism and religiosity there couldn't be something serious involving spirits.

We're all about romanticizing illnesses now. Disrespecting the people that actually suffer from this shit is so fun.

Decent I feel you're from the United States and don't have a grasp on South American history, especially w/r/t the rise of the global corporation and the oppression/objectification of the inhabitants of those countries for the sole purpose American prosperity.

Deeply profound if you're a Latin American, specifically Colombian, Honduran, or Costa Rican, with any knowledge of your history whatsoever.

>>9723113
Decent if*

Then, like every other Southern American Socialist proved himself to be a hypocrite by abandoning his socialist ravaged country to a richer Capitalist country.

At least he was a decent father and his kids inherited his fortune and now spent their days LARPing around Hollywood.

Either you haven't read it, or you're mentally handicapped.

Yeah, I think it was the medieval law of cosa nostra. Pretty nasty stuff. Glad we've progressed to live in more enlightened times. Now it's only a sexual fetish, just the way it should be. ;)
