>>24594204>sleeping ancient forcesSounds positively lovecrafty
>>24603590>Le ancient russian forcesRussians are nice and plushy from afar but utterly disgusting and loud when they're your neighbors. They're the worst Dostoyevsky's nightmare. Poor mother babushka stealing aluminum from your dacha , with only son bright ex student now turned into drunkard working at graveyard with a scar over his face from (some recent "war"), nihilism and poverty everywhere , and mind the faces they make, a spectacle. Plus they hate each other meanwhile disguising it with smile and will go greath lengths for " a question of "family" "honor" ".For anyone thinking that " underground man" is a caricature should come and live among those clowns.

im having a fuckin orgasm just on the first pages. the ubermensh path begins now. i will finally follow the steps of Cronwell, Napoleon and Hitler. im destined to be a conqueror, i feel it. may the deeds of Cesare Borgia enlight me
>>24597762It sure is Summer
>>24597762>im destined to be a conquerorUnless you plan on becoming a Maoist, Salafi, or African warlord, there's no way to be a conqueror in the late modern era. Everybody who wants to be some historic Napoleon figure either becomes an org leader hat gets infiltrated by feds or a neocon that ends up writing think tank papers in support of Israel. The great "conquerors" of today, George Bush and Putin, can't even operate independently of the powerful interest groups that keep them in power. Get off /his/ and read a book that isn't Machiavelli normiecore slop
>>24603221>the late modern eraepigone syndrome, I could easily argue we actually live in primitive times yet
>>24597762Oh, you're reading "The Prince" by Machiavelli. Consider reading a more modern work that covers the subject better. There's even an 18-minute YouTube video that lays out the basics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs

How do you write dialog?What do you mean? asked Joe.orWhat do you mean? Joe asked.
>>24602292OP didn't even include this children's book-tier dialogue format for a reason.
>>24602418How can someone be so based... and write so sexy?
>>24603887you must be one of those intellectuals I've heard so much about
“How do I write dialog? What a question…” I muse, tapping my finger against my chin.“Bow howdy, you got some kinda oral fixation there?”I shoot a glance over my shoulder: Norm fucking MacDonald. “Back from the dead? You must have had Satan by the balls you old lump of coal.”“Dead? I wasn’t even sick.”I cross my arms. “I ain’t gay,” I state, staring into his eyes. They twinkle and slightly sparkle.“Just deeply closeted!” we declare in unison, linking arms as we skip off towards the horizon.>>24602278very, very good>>24602759valuable contribution from a reader
>>24605129As a reader of your post, i got the sense that you are amusing and have a fun sense of humor. You gave norm mcdonald a life and playfullness i never saw in any of his routines (hes boring! but when juxtaposed with a normalfag, he seems like cervantes himself!)
Straight into The World as Will and Representation?
>>24604736I would personally recommend his essays first, he covers a lot of the metaphysical ground in World as Will that gives you the gist. World as Will is the pure undiluted autism of his system.
To sort of springboard off of Op, any particular publishers that have a good amount of his stuff? Kind of like how Princeton has the collected works of Jung and Kierkegaard, anybody have a focus on Schopy that’s accessible for the plebs?
It's a very accessible work and even a teenager with no background in philosophy should have no problem reading it.Schopenhauer himself says you have to read Kant's Critique and metaphysics in its entirety before proceeding, but I don't think you have too.
They stopped printing the lips cover of Lolita and replaced it with the one on the right. It looks like shit :(
>>24605043i wasnt trying to argue the connection, it seems obvious to me, only that you can enjoy lewd content and sensual content with the same sense of appreciation one should give to all joys in life, and doesnt have to be a degredation or cheapening. i agree with your post in general.

What references can I use? Diogenes is too edgy of a reference, saying I am autistic would open me up to ableism. I am not right wing but since I am autistic I am naturally asocial so trying to find an asocial bf(yes im female)but using words such as misanthrope/asocial/Diogenes is frown upon
>>24597747Ahem ahem, I am very ableist. Listen, only two rules go in this world. What you can do, and what you can't. I can try to pick you up, and I can offer helpful advice, but I can't make you understand and I can't make you love me.
>>24599745 antihumanist and misanthropy are different tho. tho probably works for what OP wants
>>24597747get one of those mugs that say dont even talk to me until i've had my coffeeor if there are likes that say ssshhhh, not just yet, now you may speak that indicate how much coffee you have had so far

Reveal yourselves you little lectio diviners, you Peripatetics pacing back and forth, you /out/ist nightwalkers, Buddhists, etc.. How do I introduce this into my life? I feel like there's something I'm missing that's not quite resting between sets at the gym, not as engaging as actually writing or reading, nor as scatterbrained as regular daydreaming or casual conversation. Give your experiences and guidance material
>>24605009I recc listening to old retard indians on buddhist podcasts give tips and they often recc books on their podcasts as well. They describe different types of meditation and if you find a particular type interesting you can explore their literature.https://wisdomexperience.org/wisdom-podcast/yongey-mingyur-rinpoche-thurman-wp210/these guys for example.
>>24605015Would you study these Eastern texts in any particular manner, like how Christians do lectio divina, taking it very slowly. Or just study business as usual, taking notes and whatnot >>24605027Does this include listening to guided meditation. I'm not very educated on Eastern stuff as you can tell
>>24605009Why are you specifically looking for not the divine office?
>>24605039Guided meditations are fine, but the experience is different. Do a guided and do another based on the principles of practice/teaching and you will experience the difference. that being said i dont know if meditation is a tool useful to achieving my desires, but it may be a balm on your pain if that is what you are looking for.
>>24605045I’m already somewhat familiar. Also when I do it I’m basically just reading psalm to psalm which I don’t feel is meditating. Also there’s no hurt for a Christian monastic perspective to look into what Eastern monastics do given they are both monks.
Other biographies of Presidents also welcome. I found Nixon’s autobiography pretty good
>>24604470It's not just the antisemitism though. Trump cultists are also a problem, and unironic totalitarians and brain dead might makes right tards.
>I have never given circumcision a single thought, other than to consent to my sons’ circumcision. Europeans think its weird for American Gentiles to be circumcised, and I think they’re right … but I remember the one kid we had in my elementary school class, a black boy who had been born at home, and who was not circumcised. All us boys wanted to stare at his primitive root wiener when we were at the urinal during recess, because it was monstrous. Nobody told us that wieners could look like that. The kid didn’t know why his penis was so strange looking, and neither did we. Third grade, man.

Strong opinions on Kafka?
>>24601658I think he's neat :<)
>>24601658the trial was garbage. entire premise was just >you're the suspect of a crime and we aren't gonna tell you what crime lmao u mad?
>>24602181Not him but I fell on my head down the stairs when I was little, and I think Kafka is one of the greatest with Borges and Maupassant
>>24601658An interesting and unique writer. Rather unpolished at times. More versatile than is generally conceded. He has had a bad influence on American letters.
>>24601658Hate him

Have you ever pulled something good from one of these or donated something you genuinely wanted to share rather than get rid of?
>>24604034Sorry Rajeesh, you have to be white to understand something like a little free library.
>>24603706they're always filled with shiti intend on collecting all the books in the ones from my neighbourhood, replacing them with quality nationalist writingsand then burning the rest
>>24603706it is actually your moral duty to steal and destroy whatever modern/tranny slop you find in there
ive gotten some good stuff that mustve been college or grad school requirements
>>24604162I was making indians seethe all week. I assume you have to be brown to not get teh answer to "SO FREE LIBRARIES HUH? WHAT BOOKS YOU PUT IN AND OUT" after data mining 200+ replies over 7 threads
>>24594970You aren't even wrong. His main appeal is that he's a good writer.
>>24602774He's an objectively terrible writer
>>24602620Care to explain it to me in a better way? I understand the basic analogy. Sisyphus has a meaningless task, just like we do. He rolls his stone up the hill and after a while it just rolls down, just like we work everyday and wake up the next. But apart from that we have the luxury that our task isn't going on forever. We die. Yeah sure Sisyphus is already dead and shit but he still lives in the underworld. I get the analogy, but it is just too unrealistic and not really comparable with the human condition. >>24602774>>24602787I would actually call him a decent writer. His prose normal/ not anything noteworthy. But he works with a lot of symbolism and metaphors. I somehow like that. Others do that too, I know. But altogether he is very fucking overrated.
