What's a good book to start with Jung? I'm already familiar with psychoanalysis.I am mainly interested in dream analysis and archetypes, but I have researched and found that Man and His Symbols was not written by him personally, but by his assistants, and is actually a simple introduction.

>>24953646I've had that happen on Royal Road and heard about it happening to others. They usually want to continue the conversation on discord/instagram. Pretty sure they're all scammers of one kind or another and will either use stolen artwork or AI, if they do anything for you at all. I just ignore them.

>>24953446Why do you want to be an English writer? It's despicable. Write in your own language. Then if you feel a need to gain an international audience, have it translated. I don't think the literary inclination of a nation is trivial. You can learn to "speak" another language but that doesn't mean you can express your thoughts naturally, either because you don't have the natural fluency or because your own native cultural heritage doesn't translate well to English.So whatever you write in your own tongue might not carry the same weight in English. Thats why I think some works don't work in other languages. If you aspire to write in English, you must master a level of English literacy proficiently first, to have a sense of what works and what doesn't. And probably do that after you have mastered the literature of your own culture.Languages to an extent are different building materials with different applications. You can't build a boat with helicopter parts and expect not to sink.t. ESL at C1 level
I want to read old European myths such as Irish, Swedish or Russians. Is there any infography listing them all so I can go looking for translations? Poetry preferable
>>24951677>I want to read old European myths such as Irish, Swedish or Russians.There's a reason why when it comes to European mythology the Greeks are the ones that get all the attention. Ancient European societies were largely oral based and few of them had writing. So the only thing you'll find for other European myths like Celts, Norse, or Slavs is some heavily edited folktale written by a Christian Monk centuries after they've converted.
>>24951690>some heavily edited folktale written by a Christian MonkYes, I want that regardless

>author personally attacks the reader
>open /lit/>see same tired “jbp bad” thread for the 900th time>people who’ve never read a page of his work confidently explaining what he “really believes”>rightoids hate him because he doesn't spend all day obsessing about jews>leftists hate him because he knows stalin was a mass murderer and told them to stop buying funko pops o algoNot even a huge Peterson fan, but it’s wild how triggered people get over a guy telling lost young men to clean their room and take responsibility for their lives. He’s a clinical psychologist with decades of practice and a pretty standard background in personality research, yet somehow he’s treated like some kind of comic book supervillain.The funniest part is how critics always quote-mine one sentence from a 3-hour lecture, strip all context, and then act shocked when normal people don’t buy the narrative. God forbid someone acknowledges biology and culture at the same time, or says meaning comes from responsibility instead of endless irony and doomscrolling.Anyway, cue the NPC replies.
Peterson will touch a nerve by simply pointing out something that is blatantly ignored in the way an ideological group frames an issue. He exposes ideological blind spots in a simple and straightforward way; this leads to the fellow travelers of whichever idea is being discussed having a breakdown and exposing themselves. He's valuable as a media personality if even for that reason alone.>Peterson: it would be productive to involve men in the conversation about violence against women in a way that doesn't label masculinity as inherently negative>Libtard: so you're saying in order to make men care about rape women have to be returned to the status of men's property>Peterson: the rise of identitarianism is linked to reactionary politics that sublimate personal resentment into collectivistic extremism>Chud: so you're saying white people don't have group interests and therefore shouldn't exist>Peterson: transgender ideology specifically targets a group of people likely to be confused and open to mental pathologies via social contagion--we shouldn't give hormones to children let alone surgically mutilate minors>Tranny: so you're literal nazi saying we're a disease and we should be exterminated like one>Peterson: anonymity increases the likelihood of pathological behavior so perhaps one way to alleviate the negative repercussions of its overall influence would be to segregate accounts on these specific widely used social media websites--it's definitely better than secret and selective control of the public narrative as it exists now>/pol/tard: so you're saying you want everyone everywhere to be tied to whatever they say and do at all times...I'm a freedom fighter [goes to another thread to post about AOC's asshole while writing "nig*er" 50 times]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maXXTXIgpu8Jordan Peterson is evil and stupid. He has a daughter and says, “We are here to suffer so learn to suffer like a man.” A potential paradise could be like a never ending DMT trip with the constant pleasure level of heroin. If you get bored then it’s not paradise. There don’t even have to be human bodies. His is just a severe lack of imagination. And there is no sense in which suffering or mediocrity create meaning. All the meaning you need would be packaged into the paradise experience. But I am not experiencing such meaning and perhaps never will. That’s why despite the abundant grace and mercy I think I am not subject to a fully benevolent God. Perhaps God is like Jordan Peterson and I therefore consider him my enemy.

How do you learn to philosophize? I read philosophy books but i never learn to philosophize. I never learn to use those fancy words like epistomoleogoogy; i only learn what they kinda mean but i never have a sure feeling of it and have to look it up all the time. Is philosophy only for high iq people? I feel utterly lost so much so i don't even bother to talk about it with other people.
>>24950632Mathematics is like linguistics. They're tools. Descriptors. You're missing the forest for the trees.>math is the interrogation of the properties of mathematical structuresLike the snake eating its own tail. I get it, math is cool, math can be hard, math is incredibly useful, but it's not philosophy. If you come up with an abstract model with defined rules you will get something "beautiful" in the eyes of idiots fooled by magic tricks. That's math. Language is also symbols and rules but less precise. There's nothing magical about either.
In fact, the more you peer into the real world (particles) the more random shit is. Shit popping in and out of existence, shit vibrating everywhere. Randomness is a feature and math fails reality.>but randomness is a mathematical featureGiant cope.
>>24946020To become skilled in philosophy you lock yourself in your room and grind the books for a few years. That’s the only way, autistic immersion in primary sources. It is good that philosophy makes you feel retarded, it should, that means you respect it. If you put in that work you will have genuine moments of insight, even emotional experiences. Aristotle said philosophy was the free science, it’s liberating. Many philosophers even say the purpose of life is to study and practice philosophy - these men were not retards, they meant what they said. If you subject yourself to the tedium of study and the dialectic of clashing opinions you will eventually get a sense of what they meant. But you have to do the work, there is no royal road to science. The standard advice here is to start with Aristotle and Plato, I think that’s sound. But it is a major undertaking and will take time.
>>24953658Pretentious rubbish. Lucretius says philosophy is like sitting on top of a tower watching a shipwreck. It’s escapism for high iqs and a way to stand above/dissociate from the pains of life, nothing more.

I know it sounds corny but the consolation of philosophy has now saved me multiple times. It saved me from sadness and confusion and it invigorated my faith. It’s the most important book besides the holy scripture.

I've noticed that a lot of sophist philosophizing is based around this concept of "nonexistence". But it seems obvious that "nonexistence" just isn't a real thing right?How can something exist that by its own definition does not exist? It's just a nonsense idea made up of circular reasoning. There cannot exist a thing that doesn't exist. Everything that exists exists and there is nothing else. Existence by definition is an all encompassing concept. You can't logically accept that things exist and then turn around and say there are things that don't.And logically the concept of nonexistence is already nonsensical but if you believe in determinism the idea really just gets defeated many times over.
>>24953075Another sad case of hegelgegger madness. Get well soon, anon.
>>24953393such a smart boy you are!

>>24951290What's the underlying sameness between the two states of meat? What can we say about the process that links meat in one snapshot and the link in the other snapshot? What makes one story more cogent than another story? e.g. "I applied a certain amount of heat to raw meat, which caused a chemical reaction to its tissues that makes it more a palatable" versus "I did a magical ritual, and that meat just... did that... and now I can eat it."
