Ah Peterson, yes he is the modern Aristotle. What a great speaker. I was really taken by his thoughts on cleaning your room, a revolutionary proposition (yes I use "big words", owing to my wide vocabulary from the vast amount of reading I do). Unfortunately pseuds like yourself will never truly understand his teachings, being intellectual lightweights who have not even read Orwell.

2. Ulysses
3. The Bible (KJ of course)
4. Shakespeare (this counts as one, right?)
5. Ham on rye, Charles Bukowski

Heh. Nice meme list, faggot. You didn't even include George Orwell, the greatest writer to ever have lived. I bet you haven't even read 1984, you illiterate swine. I'll have to give this list 0/10

Beckett, whom one might call Joyce's apprentice, was truly his apprentice in the realm of nonsense. For like Ulysses, not to mention that hideous Finnegans Wake, Beckett's trilogy is truly just a compilation of the ramblings of a mad man! I can, of course, appreciate the beauty of his prose, the musicality, but I'm afraid even Beckett himself did not quite understand what he wrote down. Read through the trilogy, by all means, to appreciate the prose, the musicality, but do not expect to find much else there, my friends! Beckett's PROSE really is quite beautiful, his rhythm, his musicality, his lyricism -- he is indubitably a very Mozart of words

Best one itt, made me physically angry how accurate it was

Communism is quite clearly the best system of economics because in Communism everyone is rich. Capitalism is unfair and people in capitalism only make money off the backs of minorities and oppressed groups. I read Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the 21st Century" 3 times to understand the conplexity of his nuanced points so you could consider me a) his student and b) an expert in the field.

Trump only won the election because Republicans are funded by the Koch brothers, who made their money in slavery and used it to ensure all states are gerrymandered. There was a John Oliver video on this that I watched, but I already knew the major facts.

Setting- Dinner party at Applebee's
We shall discuss the book that staggered my entire belief system-The Stranger. Out of the many, and I do mean many classics that I've read, 1984, Darkness at Noon, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451 etc... The Stranger has very unique message that is simply profound and philosophical. After reading it, it helped me feel better about being "different". Being alone in a room full of people was quite a trail for me to endure, but now, with the help of Camus, I realize that life is absurd (pun intended) and that's OK.

This in particular makes me cringe like crazy. I fucking hate dudes who say they want to shave with a "real razor." Fucking retards there's a reason we moved past that dumb knife on a stick. Meninist and Art of Maniless need to fucking die.

Why do we humans fight for the illusion of fairness? We want to believe that there is a certain prospect in thereby there is worth in it. This is like the concept of Existentialism or rather Absurdism in Camus’ view. That since everything is ephemeral and one does not possess of afterlife (accord to him), that it is a waste of effort to simply do anything. We, humans, stand in the perspective unlike the following apropos. Thus, we believe in the concept of Formalism to the periphery of jurisprudence. That now we should look towards Ascriptivism, for which one is liable for a conduct solely because they committed it and under societal consensus it is seen as fallacious and erroneous. This is found under the study of Methodological Behaviorism, this depicts how one’s internal state depends on their status and identity in society, we choose to be unique, and take the steps to it, much like it is auspicious to us in the future. We fight for what we belief, and thus become an authentic individual filled with ingenuity. Those individuals is what we laud, and the followers come are those less reputable and not the aboriginal ones. This is the theory that Kierkegaard proposed, how one in terms of their psychological and theological stance can act differently and uniquely, sui generis. The antecedent and the latter of working towards your goal, enduring all predicaments and becoming a genuine and authentic individual for which succumbs to international attention. This is what is surmounted to, a body of social justice all initiated by the pyramid conceived and postulated by Kierkegaard, Kierkegaardism.

Still a more genuine christian than Hegel.

It was a love story

1984 is not specifically about communism, It's probably American propaganda that you think that. CIA influence in the same way that Animal farm was used.
