I want to read something that will blow my mind, destroy my preconceptions

Nobody else will recommend it, but perhaps... a book?

my diary desu

>>9063577
moj dnevnik

>>9063580
>>9063582
see what i mean. this many posts and not one recommendation for a book, only diaries and slavic trash. it's like they nobody here even swallowed any redpills or knows that you have to buy hardcover books that aren't by penguin because they won't last and they look like shit on your shelf and only plebs buy secondhand

>>9063596
moj dnevnik means my diary. So no slavic trash. Only diaries.

>>9063598
see what i mean. only slavic diaries. nobody here even understands that diaries are just spooks perpetrated by liberal cucks who hang out on /pol/ and sometimes invade /lit/ with questions about what to use as bookmarks

>>9063609
Mi diario

The Phenomenology of Spirit.

>>9063631
see what i mean. only red-hot, south of the border, arriba arriba andale andale slavic diaries. it's like nobody here even knows tfw prosefags buy wordsworth classic editions and dont even knwo that wordsworth doesnt publish finnegans wake (at least not with the patrician cover)

>>9063641
O meu diario

>>9063643

>>9063668
It's in galician actually

>>9063675
yeah, but i can't read galician. i'm trying to fit in here on /lit/ and it wouldn't be kosher to recommend a book i'd never read.

>>9063670
make sure you add a 也 and then you can sound like Kong Yiji. That'll really blow OP's mind

Nothing that is a definite truth van be mind blowing, since to be proven true it must use a pure and indoubitable line of logic. Once you heard it, the truth would just seem completley obvious and unimpressive. If something is mind blowing (in the traditional sense) then its probably just lieing to you on some level. If you are honestly interested in actual philosophy regarding mind bending universal truths, I may suggest reading Meditations by Descartes, and if you are further enticed by the topic afterwords you can also read Crtique of Pure Reason by Kant.

>>9063577
And unless you're a trolling for (you)'s with this post, you should know what you said is one of the most contrived and (generally considered here) parochial view of philosophic literature one could have. Some here may even go as far to call you a pseudointellectual, although I personally withold that judgement on most accounts, since generally it is applied to ideological misunderstanding rather than blatant lack of knowledge.

This book is an intro to philosophy course badly disguised as a terrible novel. Nothing more.

>>9063577
There's any number of people depending on what you've been exposed to.
Carl Jung, Terence Mckenna, Julian Jaynes, Joseph Campbell,

Or just try anything from the tryptamine family.

Dark Matter

>>9063790
What the fuck are you talking about you dumb delusional fucking retard. God damn you people are pedantic. OP just wants to go "woah." That's all. There is neither contrived views of philosophy nor pseudointellectualism here.

Shut the fuck up, go crawl back under the rock you use to hide from books and human experience in general you fucking halfwit.

Hey OP, try Illuminatus! If that does it for you, follow up with Schrodinger's Cat. If Illuminatus doesn't seem your style, jump immediately into Cosmic Trigger.

RAW in general tries to cultivate those brain knotty sensations and his number one goal of writing is to destroy peoples beliefs in everything.
