The works of Baudrillard duh
Marx
>>23935114
>>23935114Read Ducks, Newsburyport> the fact that another man fucked my wife and i liked it the fact that this is somehow considered a normal psychosexual phenomenon the fact that indisputably this is linked to my own self-loathing and the rotten underpinnings of my masculinity, underpin, undercut, wave-cut-ledge, sea defenses and rock armour, the victorians built recurved walls, the fact that he was black, the fact that although i am not a racist, in fact, i am anti-racist, the fact that it was still definitely relevant that he was black, the fact that i probably do in fact think that a black man is more of a man than i am, the fact that i wished he was more muscular, the fact that he was still stronger than me, the fact that his cock was as thick as a rolling pin, the fact that i got into an argument with a man who claimed that black men have larger penises and called him a bigot who credulously bought into 19th-century pseudoscientific notions of the sub-saharan black as brutish and inhuman, the fact that i do still in fact believe black men have larger penises, the fact that a dolphin's penis is like a corkscrew, and that they rape each other, the fact that ducks rape each other too, the fact that the whole of civilisation seems to have been created to stop people getting away with rape...(p. 230)
>>23935114You cant, the matrix has become the real. Your attempts to escape it (Let me guess, "grinding" and becoming rich or abandoning civilization to live in the woods?) will be shaped by the matrix and thus you will still be part of it.There is no escape. The best you can do is to be aware of it, and mindful by how its shaping you. Who knows maybe you might even find a way to manipulate it.
>>23935114basic programming or high school math
read about the fed.when the government needs money to pay their never-ending debt, they issue bonds. extremely wealthy individuals and corporations invest in these bonds knowing that they can earn millions in interest. occasionally, the fed creates new money out of thin air and purchases ~30% of these government bonds, in turn receiving interest payments. they can also sell these bonds when they want money out of circulation. most of the money they earn then goes back to the U.S. Treasury. the government pays off the interest with taxpayer money and when the time comes to pay off the principal -- the original sum of money they "borrowed" -- they just issue more bonds and repeat the cycle.this works because it's the U.S. dollar and while it is not tied to the value of rare metals -- meaning, it's just a piece of paper/numbers on a screen -- it still holds value. the only way you escape the matrix is by becoming a business owner. think about it. you're in the age of the internet. a thousand purchases on your $20 product equals $20.000 clean. a thousand is a small number when we're all interconnected. your next matrix attack will be taxes, where the government promptly takes half your cut because fuck you. you then move to Dubai. and that's endgame. good luck escaping the matrix. the matrix is trading your labor for money. these billionaires are the ones in need of labor. and just a like a pimp, "they keep em broke" so that they keep working. imagine your high paying job goes all the way to $600.000 a year. the wagies would just quit their jobs. but yeah. good luck. you're not going to, face it. you're going to accept your miserable slave existence while people drive around in buggatis and never look at price tags.
>>23935114Regular and applied literary study under guidance to help fulfill your place in the Matrix, then being at peace with your place in it. Apocrypha optional, but fun.
don't, Morpheus is lying to you
>>23935114Nothing. You leave the outer matrix and discover the inner one. Then all of history is everyone who discovered this nexus tells you the signs within are bullshit and you must find your own way.
>>23935114Obligatory due to the allegory of the cave: the OG Matrix. Will also dispel delusions about popular political systems and help identify false virtue (Agent Smith).
that's like asking which tennis racket will cure your influenza. u sound stupid op. a book won't help u with this. what u need are psychedelics. good luck. see u on the other side
>>23935114>The Ethics of Liberty - Murray RothbardYou gotta know your *natural* rights. https://youtu.be/uXEUW792etk?feature=shared&t=186
>>23936111This, like just convert to a vector or array
>>23935114Catechism of the Catholic Church. Most of the escapees are Catholics.
>>23937374Don't be retarded, psychedelics aren't a panacea you ape. OP read plato, advaita vedanta, plotinus and read analytically the gnostic gospels, and I say analytically and cautiously, it contains some truths but alot of distortions
>>23935369>>23935370>>23936366>>23937187>>23937366>>23938167Based.
>>23936366any books for this feel?
>>23938167Read everything analytically and skeptically. You're not going to understand any esoteric literature if you don't.
>>23938167Ironically the Greek mysteries involved a psychedelic eucharist which influenced the first Christians. Psychedelics aren’t the end all be all but are the equivalent to strapping a supercharger onto your literary and analytic studies, the latter of which most stereotypical druggies don’t do obviously. They rip a portal straight from your own perception/ego to the substrate of the universe.
gnostics smoke mad donkey pole
>>23936366why devote one's life to the acquisition of material goods? it just seems pointless. i don't care about money. i don't care about cars. i have no needs.
>>23938439but anon you're already going to have to devote your life to your 9 to 5 whether you like it or not. unless you're especially privileged.
>>23936366One thing you forgot to mention is that the fed doesn't even buy bonds directly from the treasury, but rather partner banks like (((Goldman-Sachs))), ensuring that the banking class always gets a return on their investments.
>>23937187The most disappointing read of my entire life.
>>23935114The Vedas
>>23938439you devote your life not to the acquisition of goods. you become rich so you can become a high-value male, wealthy enough to start a bloodline. a billion dollars can feed multiple generations. you're just a doomer beta anon. your future children can pursue aristocratic lifestyles, focus on /lit/ and have a positive impact on the planet.

>>23938350Not this anon but >Frederic S. Mishkin - The Economics of Money, Banking and Financial Markets (mainstream explanations of how monetary policy, discount window, open market operations etc. work)>Murray Rothbard - What Has Government Done to Our Money (a primer on monetary history and economics of free money)>Murray Rothbard - Mystery of Banking (same as Mishkin but more enjoyable read and it views things though an Austrian lens)>Ron Paul - End the Fed (self-explanatory)>G. Edward Griffin - The Creature from Jekyll Island (minority report on the origins of the Fed which proves it had little to do with its avowed goal to provide the country with an elastic money supply)

>>23938622That's still materialism. You're still obsessed with this material sphere. Can you point to me how many children Plato had? Or Socrates? Or the other individuals who had a peek beyond the veil? You are not interested in true wisdom or transcendence. You are attached to this reality.
>>23935114The German Ideology by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
>>23939320Creating a financial market that would be able to absorb an infinite amount of assets. Rothbard in particular describes very nicely in his book America's Great Depression how the Fed artificially created a market for bankers' acceptances (a type of cheque that used to be employed in international transactions) in the 20s
>>23938622being a householder providing for a few roasties and their kids is the opposite of being a high value male
>>23938622Slave to materialism. Sad state of affairs. Spiritually devoid and lacking any comprehension of what truly matters.
