>>25387461Holy based... thank you anon from the bottom of my ice cold aristocratic heart, t. poorfag NEET evola chud.
>>25387461Well, now I have to read it. I was trying to wean myself off the mad baron after I found myself checking land records in Sicily in 1898, but no, you had to deliver, didn't you?
>>25386693Did they remember to write about his numerous homosexual relationships?
>>25387683A trve aristocrat of the sovl lets the riger ride him back... Bareback
virtually unknown >Is the rightful heir of the French moraliste tradition>An elitist vulgarisateur, he would look at you with disgust as he initiates you into the cult of good taste >Perfected monographs, he KNOWS his writers. Villon, Benjamin Constant, de Retz.. EtcWouldn't expect nu/lit/ to care but long time no post so I thought just maybe. That, and the fact he's nowhere near translated adequately or at all for that matter.
I've been meaning to read Le Voyage du Condottière since I heard Nabe say good things about him but I haven't gotten around to start yet
>>25387325It's kind of impressive, ever aspect of him is maximally goofy
>>25387815Le voyageur est encore ce qui importe le plus dans un voyage, that is to say: whenever you're ready.
OP again. I really meant by vulgarisateur the simple (read: crystal clear, grounded, baroque(?)) style of writing he employs. He's actually an elitist through and through. Obnoxiously so.
>>25387319Can't read frogspeak soPass.
I'm not reading eight hundred pages of what essentially amounts to "spaghetti falls out of pockets"
>>25387722Yes.
If an immaterial soul were the true seat of human identity, physical brain damage or a stroke could not completely rewrite a person's core personality, memories, and moral character.
>>25387502Accepting materialism but still behaving in a non-base way is the ultimate position.To have the strength to not give up in the harsh light of the unfortunate truth is what man should strive for.
>>25387380Explain Terminal Lucidity OP
>>25387380If you smash a mirror the image it reflects will become distorted but the object it is reflecting remains completely undamaged. This is a common view of the soul in philosophic works though I do not know if Aquinas follows that same view.>>25387470Ancient and by extension medieval philosophy maintains a separation between the different faculties of the soul, free will stems from the rational soul while psychosomatic conditioning exists within the passional and appetitive souls. Sin and damnation have little to do with this however because at least in a Christian context you are saved rather than the one who achieves salvation, you could commit many sins and still be saved, in fact that is the 'normal' state of things for the average believer.
>>25387470any impediment to your free will is taken into account when ascertaining the moral character of an action. For example, suicide is a mortal sin but the gravity/culpability is lessened by factors such as extreme emotional distress and mental illness. In many cases, these factors turn a mortal sin into a venial sin.
If you smash your computer you might not hear joe rogan voices anymore but joe rogan is still in the studio talking.
>I know nothing!>(...But actually I know everything and can prove it logically and if you disagree with me you are wrong and I will rhetorically humiliate you in public)
>>25385120Start with meditations by Descartes, then maybe Hume. But know that you will have to take on Plato and Aristotle eventually. You don’t have to read everything but for Plato the republic and phaedo I would say are obligatory, for Aristotle nicomachean ethics and metaphysics.And you should read something about modern logic as well. Any textbook should be sufficient.
>>25385120Start with whatever you are interested in and eventually it will (or at least should) carry you places. However, frankly you are simply missing out if you don't start with Plato. He's an amazing introduction to philosophy and his dialogues have been in constant use among both students and experts for literally thousands of years.
Don't believe plato or people who think socrates was martyred for 'truth'. He was an authoritarian spartan cockmongler who was corrupting the young generation of upcoming Athenian elite by making them fall in love with him instead of the Athenian elite pedarasts. The only mistake Athens made was not hemlocking Plato and the rest of his cult while they could.

>>25385781Eastern philosophy is just this but institutionalized
>shills for technofeudalism in the West while living in ChinaHow does anyone take this fraud seriously?
>>25384608And there it is.OP is a fag as usual.
>>25384652>who can't differentiate btn a person and his workWhat's an example of someone who's work is completely disconnected from who they are as a person?
>>25387139fulton sheen, the papist monk with the poignant comments on marriage
>>25384621it was like watching two faggots on /lit/ circlejerk about how "based and dissident" they are. ridiculously cringe.
>>25386752He actually started out being employed by the Shanghai Star to my knowledge, an English newspaper published in Shanghai.
How long did it take you to enjoy poetry?
>>25385378Baudelaire and Rilke for sure
Poetry poetry or machine translation poetry?
>>25385378Listen to >>25386222, get a copy of picrel>"thats pretty cool"This is enjoying poetry. You're just describing enjoying poetry. Don't worry about trying to "solve" a poem or "figure a poem out" or whatever, just read it. If you like it, great, read more by that poet. If you don't, whatever, come back to it later. No need to overcomplicate things>poets to get me into poetryI'd say Whitman and Yeats -- both mostly accessible, both massively influential, both beautiful
>>25385265I will never enjoy 'poetry', he saidto have to dig through mountains of babble--self-indulgent, forgettable, or both--to find what I think is good poetry

First long novel I've read and I already feel like I peaked too early. What is going to ever top this
>>25384335A truly detestable book. Overly long, preachy, self-serious and meandering. My only takeaway is that the Russian proletariat should have massacred the nobility A LOT sooner.
Impossible to get a good thread going on here anymore. Bunch of faggots are the only ones remaining on this dead board
>>25384335Nothing does, really. Some stuff comes close, like War and Peace, Middlemarch, The Wings of the Dove (?) but you'll be rereading AK until you die
>>25384335
>>25386333P7 Anna was based though
If you want to see the true face of socialism, you need to read him. In one episode he describes how people had to clap for Stalin indefinitely, for hours, and the first one to stop clapping was sent to the gulagThis is no joke. Socialism considers reading bourgeois. Your iphone? Your jeans? Your cheese and wine and Starbucks? All bourgeois. You would be next
>>25387020This but unironically>>25387045...What were you expecting? Trump is not perfect but he's mildly exceeded my expectations.
>>25387644>Epstein was a known user of the siteYeah I've seen that, all he did was copy and paste porn links to someone. Maxwell, on the other hand, helped run reddit. You are a lying—by omission and manipulation—Communist.
>>25387644This is such a '38 year old that thinks he's still young' takeNo one thinks the DSA is a threat except establishment Dems
>>25387885I didn’t support Trump either. My ideal American leadership would be someone in the vein of Nixon
>>25387915Well, we don't have Nixon.
Books that just weren’t for you. Don’t be ashamed. The premise of this one sounded great, and I enjoyed some of the backpacking and hostel stay stories but it’s so dry and full of architecture descriptions and references to other high brow European shit that its a slog for me. I’m like 90 pages from the end but I most likely won’t be reading the rest of the series. Not a fault of the book at all, not afraid to say that I’m probably not worldly or intelligent enough to fully appreciate this book as a non-college educated blue collar/middle class genuine mutt American. What are your’s?
>>25387801It’s in the first book, you probably don’t remember because it’s forgettable and doesn’t serve the plot. Capt Norton often tries to find time to record messages to home and tweaks them a little bit for his earth and mars family. But like I said, it serves no purpose other than Clarke being like “look it’s the fuuuture, morals are different and men have multiple wives”
Idk I always finish what I pick but the one I am reading atm>under the volcanoI am 150p in, It has to be the "most demanding" for those 150p compared to other books for the same size and some difficult language but I am enjoying it to a degree.
>>25385988Part 7 is good but I don’t blame you I got filtered by TBK
I didn't think it would be MY face that would be rubbed in its own vomit
>>25387295The flight attendant on my last journey was reading this. I asked how she was enjoying it and she said not very much lol
They avoid effort, avoid trying anything, as to try would leave them vulnerable to the plain remimder that they really are responsible for themselves and that their lack of achievement and procrastination cannot be couched in a cozy delusion that one is a loser because of an act of God and factors beyond the discernment and advisement of peers and clinicians or even poets.People who after highschool sat on the computer doing nothing for 10 or 15 years that have never had the courage to even attempt a hobby and are now heavily alienated and emotionally barricaded behind tectonic plates of self-doubt and are now vicarious and anonymous specters haunting themselves, becoming so closed off that they reprimand themselves for even feeling joy, as if anything good in life is but a trick and the joke has been over for a long time.They also can't accept compliments because they have trained themselves to feel nothing about them because feeling self-esteem triggers an urge to suppress that and instead assume that they are just getting lazier and not analyzing their flaws because there is a general distortion in them that dictates that they must always be wrong or that their view is fundamentally worthless. When people try to reach out and help them they will become slippery and self-prosecutory and like they are trying to convince everyone that they are a loser so when those people eventually give up on them, it's used as confirmation to continue neglecting and denying themselves

Am I missing something? Anything? I'm seven-or-so dialogues in and it's literally almost entirely just word games and playing with definitions, as if mere linguistics has anything to do with the concepts they try and communicate. Frankly, the more I read the more frustrated I become out of how 'nothing' everything seemsIs there any point in going on? Any at all?
>We may say, therefore, as to things cognizable by the intellect, that they become cognizable not only from the good, by which they are known, but likewise that their being and essence are thence derived, while the good itself is not essence, but beyond essence, and superior to both in dignity and power.
>>25385853Yeah it's just closer to what OP seems to be interested in (likely in this case meaning getting closer to the truth rather than some statistical or theoretical claim)
>>25377495Read the Symposium first, dropped the Republic 3 chapters in, I feel similar to you OP. Socrates being a moffie didn't help.
>>25377495It seems increasingly apparent that fans of Wittgenstein and all nominalists are in league with Satan.
>>25386999Yes I'm surprised more of nu-/lit/ doesn't take issue with the cornerstone of western philosophy liking twinks
What are your favorite children's literature, /lit/?
>>25387723Dunno if it counts but I liked reading several Jules Verne books as a kid, especially 20000 Leagues Under the Sea.
>>25387726I think those definitely count. I remember I had a series of classic novels which were probably abridged for children and the of the two that really stuck with me, one was 20,000 Leagues. (The other was Black Beauty.)

Why does Charles Murray's book on human accomplishment have so many models that are wrong?It's like he didn't take a basic course in statistics and tried to use statistics to jerk off the british, french, dutch and danish. He can't even understand that human development is logarithmic not linear. Doesn't even know basic mathematics.
>>25387788>thinking it’s white people complaining ittStop projecting Non-whites are the most fragile people
>>25387782see pic>>25377651
>>25387788>>25387790As stated, the white man has no identity outside of "being superior to other races." He will happily die on this hill, no amount of observation or rationality will stop him. He simply does not know how to exist other than this. Life is incomprehensible to him through any other lens. The possibility that all his outrageous labors and engineered gadgets have combined merely to deliver humanity into the fiery maws of the apocalypse is too horrible for him to even consider.
>>25387795You'll never get it...
>>25387871Get what exactly? Don't hide behind vagaries now. English is your mother tongue, express yourself, Timothy. See if you can articulate.
