Would you read this? I think of all right-wing "skeptics" I would prefer to read Sargon's book.

Sargon is a cuck who refers to himself as a liberal. He's kosher right, for now. We'll see how much he progresses in the future.
>>
>>9716891
I'd maybe consider him a good introduction to show to normies that you wouldn't want to scare away with some of the more straightforward stuff.
>>
>>9716900
I'd agree with that. Those people are necessary. The problem lies with them becoming controlled kosher opposition.

The open annals of man's dreams. The starving of his belly is the key. His memories everlasting rise from their ashen tombs, the bright flash of sulphur touched to wick and wax. He breathes lighter, his body rests, snores while awake. The refreshment he devised has worked, but he fears his Hyde. Lucky him, just a matter of time, painful phantasms mock and jeer. The color missing, none but contrasts remain. No line, no web, no spider. His sponge is full to bursting, slops off the excess and the new in one motion. The descent is enlightening as it is dulling.

Childhood is when you idolize Sancho
Adulthood is when you realize the Don Quixote makes more sense

In other words, the grass is always greener.

>>9716289
I like to think that the green in grass is an attribute that is the result of inherited biological programming, cultural programming and sheer will power. Through learning you can make the grass as green as you want it to be.

you realize that what you said is utter bullshit and is applicable in no way to anyone's life, nor does it contain any wisdom whatsoever, right?

Either way you have to read Thoreau's Civil Disobedience. It inspired the likes of Ghandi and MLK

I have been trying to find an unabridged version in Spanish but they appear to be incredibly rare. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the read OP... maybe make another thread once you finish it telling us what you thought of it. I'll be perpetually lurking.

i am sure that the UNAM edited a unabridged not too long ago, i may be wrong thought.

He's rad as hell but also pretty simple. That means he's popular. That means it's fashionable to hate him.
Don't worry; he's pretty deserving of hate as an individual.
But I still dig him.
>>
He riffed on a defined, existential worldview throughout all of his writing with a peculiar, if a bit selfsame and limited, style. Not bad, not the greatest writer to ever live.
>>9716125
This is a good post.
>>
>>9715840
Do you really think you can handle this redpill, anon? Alrighty ... well, here it is:
Bukowski is a mediocre writer who was promoted by the jewish publishing industry to promote degeneracy and glorify alcoholism. The reason jews champion such people is because they want young white men like yourselves to think this kind of lifestyle is cool in the hopes that you will mimic it. You are less of a threat to the greater jewish power structure as a deadbeat than you are as a white man with a strong identity and noble ambitions who strives to better his community and rid it of the negative influence jews inflict upon it through the promotion of two-bit losers like Charles Bukowski.
(The above applies to the beatniks as well as the 68ers, of course.)

Shortly before his death, Richard Rorty wrote a piece called "The Fire of Life," in which he meditates on his pancreatic cancer diagnosis and the comfort of poetry.
He concludes:
>I now wish that I had spent somewhat more of my life with verse. This is not because I fear having missed out on truths that are incapable of statement in prose. There are no such truths; there is nothing about death that Swinburne and Landor knew but Epicurus and Heidegger failed to grasp. Rather, it is because I would have lived more fully if I had been able to rattle off more old chestnuts—just as I would have if I had made more close friends. Cultures with richer vocabularies are more fully human—farther removed from the beasts—than those with poorer ones; individual men and women are more fully human when their memories are amply stocked with verses.
Why aren't you reading poetry, /lit/?

I tried them from the "Thinker and Prover" chapter and it definitely brought about a level of self awareness. Didn't try for the other chapters.

Thank you very kindly, Anons.
Since you guys know about Philosophy, I also managed to find some other books. In which order should I read these 'trains' of Philosophy? So I'm thinking I'll do Nietzsche, then Plato, then Stoicism, and then Machivelli?
I have
>The Republic by Plato
>The Apology by Plato
>Meditations
>Stoicism and the Art of Happiness
>machiavelli-il-principe
>Hercalitus
How likely am I to kill myself after this?
