ITT Books that are too powerful to be shared with the unwashed masses
Mein Kampf
hofmannsthal collected a bunch of aphorisms by himself and authors he liked in "book of friends" same era and place as weininger.
there are two other collected volumes by weininger "about last things" and "pocketbook and letters" which are at least as interesting as sex and character.
he developed many ideas which he must have found in works of schopenhauer and emerson.

Despite his meme status, most of Nietzsche is thoroughly objectionable to normies.

That book is just the scrubbed-up Hollywood version of what those guys were doing. You want Mystery Method.
Mystery wore black nail polish to get attention from chicks. I'm not going to try to defend that, because it makes perfect sense for his purposes. What the unwashed masses will never accept is that it worked and he got laid. It's too much of a mindfuck for the guys who think stripy shirts and being able to fix a broken faucet are the high road to sex.

this. few have read it (me included) but I'm trying to fix that. It's no that unusual to now know that humans thought about the same problems we think about now.
And it's great poetry

Anything ethical that suggest hedonism is bad and you're a bad person if you're a hedonist.

if you don't think reading the book which is at the base of our whole civilisation isn't worth it than what is?

It's certainly the deepest foundation of monolingual midwestern colonial dry goods store culture.
I mean, without the KJV they'd have no recourse to anything except maybe the wise, anal-retentive sayings of Benjamin Franklin.

The idea of dressing like you walked off the set of some post apocalyptic 80s movie to get some drunk sluts to notice you is just degrading even if it can work.

You'll get no argument from me. But his goal was to have as much sex as humanly possible, and as often and as quickly as possible, which is why his style had no subtlety whatsoever. He was the summer blockbuster of seducers. He reproduced his seductive moves on each night with mechanical consistency, like some kind of human version of McDonalds or Starbucks, A-B testing and keeping what worked. There's something to be learned from the sheer mass of experimental experience he built up. And if you understand the sexual philosophy behind it all, it can be toned down and integrated into non-clown life.
