Is this the thread where people will point out issues with her retranslation and then people disingenuously pretend none exist?
>>24947060It was written by a woman, the issues started immediately there. People pretend none exist because browns and women use the internet now and continually pretend that white Western civilization isn't the only human civilization worth having on the planet.

Looking up covers for Viriconium and this Italian version is the best looking

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.
>>24946921What is that TERRIBLE HAIRSTYLE???!!!
When i put my writings into GBT it says im a philosopher with interesting ideas
>>24946932honestly? i think it looks great. suits her.
>>24946020its a bell curve. Master of philosophy uses simple and concise words. Midwit philosophizer uses the thesaurus with veracity of someone being paid by the word. You need a direction. Are you contemplating society? What counter arguments can others bring and what is your answer to them? How does the idea translate into reality? Generally avoid stuff that requires/is build on accepting an unsubstantiated premise.
>>24946020According to chatbot soon to be overlord, GenZ likes Aquinas, Nietzsche, Marx, and Camus. Dosto also made it in there too. I can see why these guys are popular.Since you're still hung up on IQ I ask you to consult pic related. You don't have to leave grog. People will always tell you that you might be better there or worse there but you won't know for sure. If you make it to Wittgenstein you fully understand the everything is an accident from linguistic confusion thing and you can't know if you were better or worse off regardless of what anyone says so keep that in mind. Enjoy the midwit phase while you can. Once that passes you're stuck and the best you can manage is a flattening into grogstein.

>>24945347Bro, everyone born before 1980 smoked. Besides, pipe smoking, when not done excessively is one of those little pleasures that are bad for the body but good for the soul. I don't want to read work from someone who doesn't have at least something like that in their life
>>24946178Go to Philly and have a crackhead write a book then.
>>24946176I don't really feel like Lattimore's embellishments add anything, especially since he is mainly consulted for fidelity
>>24946178If you must smoke, cannabis seems preferable to tobacco, because at least it's not inherently carcinogenic on top of being inhaled as smoke (chewing tobacco also causes cancer).

Books about maladaptive daydreaming and how to induce it? Reality got stale for me. Pretty baffling to hear people living in their own custom realities inside their heads when I'm a lite aphantasiac and couldn't ever pull it off myself, or I just haven't tried enough. There are a lot of negatives to MD of course, but I'm still envious. If not MD, then books on immersive daydreaming in general?
>>24944161I had a taste of hyper phantasia after waking up in the middle of the night months ago and it left me somewhat bitter. Usually I have very hazy and dull imagination but for those 30 minutes I felt like a savant. It's as if i had hundreds of minds eyes, each capable of independent and effortless focus. Mostly i just enjoyed the view but i did do some tests of my newfound abilities and realized i could narrate my experience in my second language, operate the imaginery machinery in fine detail and do two digit multiplications in my head simultaneusly. Next day i woke up as my normal self which kind of sucked. Still no clue that what the hell happened.
this used to happen in my head when i was young but as i got older it just stopped. some guy here summarized his years ago and it was damn impressive

I see you there, fucker. Copy of your Guenon book propped on the ground next to the seated rowing machine at LA fitness, cover facing the aisle. Reading it between sets, only doing 3×10 at 100 lbs (lol). Last month, it was the Viking Portable Nietzsche. We'll congratulations, you got yourself noticed. By me. faggot
>>24945651I don't think thats how it works. Just because you refuse something doesn't mean your work doesn't actively participate in perpetuating it.
>>24946164Guenon didn't leave much behind in the way of refutations. He offered plenty of critiques, alternatives, and criticisms and he does offer his fans a nice shitbox to squat in. Should one of them decide to perform a calculation or any sort of refutation then it becomes everything Guenon hated. His particular brand of impotent rage makes for a perfect addition to modernity.
>>24945609If you wanna learn real metaphysics read the phenomenology of spirit, guenon books are studies on theology disguised as metaphysics

What the FUCK was Stephen King thinking?
ITT: neo-puritan Millennials and ZoomersIt was perfectly normal to be attracted to teenage girls for 99% of human history. Then most of the way through the 20th century, it suddenly became a huge problem. By pure coincidence this is also when feminism starting gaining mainstream influence.

>>24935176Maybe the real monster was the friends we made along the way
>>24946769It was still seen as normal in the 1990s. It wasn't uncommon to lose your virginity before graduating high school. In fact sex between teenagers was so common they had to do health class lessons on condoms and other contraception just to prevent pregnancies and STDs, and we still had a couple girls get pregnant every year anyway. I can't believe people that grew up with that now say it's inappropriate to call a high schooler sexy. What, I'm supposed to pretend their unattractive just because I'm no longer in high school? It doesn't work like that.

The dregs of society pool together like the dirty puddles they tromp. Dublin is their city. Dubh Linn. Black Pool. The name evokes images of heroin rolling on foil. The Spire watches high over O'Connell Street, a lantern above the oily slick roads, taxis and buses rolling through them, like a needle penetrating the veiny patchwork streets.

>>24945263Yes, we need more silliness on this board. The recent upsurge in leftards is making it dull and tedious.
>>24946675Thought about it whilst taking a shower.
reading his essays are usually enjoyable for me, though some are a bit long winded. he has similar thoughts and feelings that i have towards life, so it's cool that i can connect with someone that lived 2000 years ago. he's writing these essays to help his friends with their struggles in life (even though they're likely fake people), so it's kind of like he's my friend, and giving me direct life advice. yet i don't think i've seen any posts on him. what's the deal? are you going to tell me i'm a retard midwit for consuming his books?
>>24946568I'm unsubscribing from your newsletter
>>24946568Love the letters, feels like listening to a wise grandpa that is well aware that he is far from perfect, my favorite quote of him is: "What is wisdom? Always desiring the same things, and always refusing the same things"
Seneca? More like Schizophreneca
>>24946568They're a bit midwit because they deal more with fairly practical, unabstracted matters rather than engaging with more demanding fundmental philosophical concepts, and that tends to attract the grindset self-improvement types that dont think too much, but honestly who cares? theyre great meaningful works.
I’m a Kafka
>>24942589Honestly I can see why Kafka never wanted any of his work published. I thought it was edgy and cool when I was kid but now I can hardly stand his woe-is-me pansy ass crying interspersed with his weirdo gooner fantasies of fucking some poor servingwoman or whatever.
