Does anyone /fit/ their bodies and brains, here?(RIP /fitlit/)>inb4 people saying they’re cultured geniuses but happen to be bricklayers or HVAC repairmen doing theoretical physics in their spare time
>>77111669I have a theoretical degree in physics
>>77111669>Does anyone /fit/ their bodies and brains, here?I can spot one person who certainly doesn't.
I work as IT in an AI company
>>77111669I work at a grocery store and I'm not very smart. I'm smart enough not to flex on retards on 4chan. Kinda childish thing to do
i'm in quant if that counts
>>77111677So you work as a theoretical physician?
fit has the highest number of blue collars and zogbots compared to any other board
>>77111669I do quad n-back and meditate often
>>77111669What's wrong with being /fitlit/ and blue collar? Seems like decent pay for easy work
Bronze Age MindsetSun and SteelAtomic Habits Only 3 things you need to read
>>77111989>Sun and Steel>Only 1 thing you need to readFTFY

>>77112049>just read all this garbage instead of good books bro get a load of this faggot
>>77112049>>77111989Reading does not make you smart niggas
>>77112052>the Western canon is garbageThat’s really fucking sad that you think that, I really hope you’re just joking.
>>77112063it kind of does bro. The hallmark of being smart is to be able to learn from other peoples experiences instead of having to go through bullshit all your life to learn
>>77112064I think my 3 books are lot better than telling zoomers to read the entire bible (impossible). They have the attention spans of fish and they are NEVER reading all that
>>77112070>read the entire bible (impossible)
>>77112070This nigga a nigger
>>77112070Let me guess, just a high school diploma, at best?
>>77112049Which one is best for a guy who hasn't read since AP English?
>>77112195If you’re talking about the bedrock of all of Western writing as a concept, you need to read the Iliad. Whether intentionally or not, all of our greatest stories are either following, building on or rebelling against it. You’ll realize that even shit like Star Wars or Harry Potter is built on the OG of them all. Start here.Then I’d say the Republic to understand the uniquely western way we form governments, all our governments from democracies to dictatorships are built on.And finally the Bible, even if you’re not at all religious, despite not being from Europe at all (it’s from what is now Israel/Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and surrounding areas) it has so profoundly affected the West that it’s almost impossible to overstate. Even if you think you know the stories, you should read them for yourself.Anyone who lives in the West that doesn’t understand Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and the Bible is living half a life.
>>77112093Prestigious engineering degree actually. Telling someone to read that many books is just retarded. If you can't pick out the best ones then you arent really giving advice
>>77112258Where’d you get your degree that they didn’t bother with any of the classics, even engineers need to have at least some well roundedness.
>>77112277I am not against reading the classics I just think its not the highest ROI thing to be telling people to do. Like pick the one you estimate as the most applicable and recommend that.
>>77111989>t. turbofag awardee
>>77111989>no fictionSoulless faggot award
>>77112195from the given list, start with metamorphosis.
>>77112258Of course you got a prestigious engineering degree, this is 4chan after all
>>77112297Harry Potter is the only fictional book worth a fuck in the history of literature
>>77112308since this is /fit/ there's only a 10% chance this is a joke, scary
