Fiction will always be superior because old Billy shakes exists
>>24701182Read fiction and non-fiction. Debate on this is perhaps the gayest topic on this board, quite frankly.
>>24701189>fiction will always be superior because of shakespeare>he doesn't know about the history plays
>>24701195>Implying there really was a fat old knight shitting it up with the prince
>>24701182>implying God Emperor is superior to anything
>>24701195They're fiction.
>>24701182Self help is all slop for the cattle tho, at least stories are fun
Do you guys ever read books or do you just watch videos by guys who do?
The Scripture is the ultimate.Not a fan of Dune as an actual Muslim.It reads like a war room novel by a CIA agent.Lawrence of Arabia was also an agent of zionist imperialism.In general, the West romanticizes the martial aspect of Islam.The West seriously overlooks the inner spiritual nature of real Islam.Islam is about submission to God. A personal, spiritual relationship with God.The Western view of Islam is informed by centuries of conflict between empires.The actual contents of the Koran remain largely unknown and new to the West.Islam is something exciting and new for the West, ancient to the East.
>>24701210It's superior to everything, take the lesbian orgy-pill
>>24701223The guys actually don't. TikTok, twitter, YT, they all reward making more and more content on more and more engagement-baiting topics.It's all ChatGPT summaries a YouTube grifter talks about for 8 minutes 20 seconds.
>>24701224Islam is the Abrahamic religion that I have the least familiarity with and understanding of. Could you recommend some good theological study books about it.
>>24701182I think non-fiction is a waste of time but unfortunately I read 60 pages of The Road To Rivoli: Napoleon's First Campaign last nightLiterature is clearly the superior form of reading but non-fiction is so appealing in that it deludes us into thinking that it's worthy and useful that we sometimes get carried away and can't help but read it
>>24701182DUNE fucking sucks. Asimov mogs this autistic pseud.
>>24701409Asimov is reddit beyond reddit. The most pedestrian sci-fi concepts with all the precociousness of an um akchully nerd who knows just enough to be competent but precocious enough to be annoying
>>24701406Hagarism
>>24701224I like this:>After being victorious at the Battle of Badr, the Prophet famously told his companions: “Blessed are those who have performed the minor jihad and have yet to perform the major one.” The companions who duelled against the enemy in the sweltering heat of the Arabian sun must have been shocked to learn that all those efforts only constituted a minor jihad. When one companion asked the Prophet about the major jihad, he said: The Jihad of the self.”
>>24701417sci-fi is the embodiment of reddit, as far as escapism goes
>>24701417Dune is Reddit. Foundation is so much more interesting and peppered with fascinating ideas, it’s not packed with boring inner dialogue and wasting the readers time. Asimov was actually intelligent and knew how to write, Herbert was an incel drawing maps all day and creating a fake language while Asimov was actually contributing to emerging fields. Not even on the same wavelength. Asimov could have cut the first Dune in half and probably made it better too.

>>24701427But i love spaceship and roberts...
>>24701419Seems like a controversial study. How accurate would you say it is?
>>24701182I always assume if someone read the book on the left they probably went to prison
