>>25179010I just read classic books that are considered generally good. I don't bother with mediocre books or modern slop.
>>25179074Why are you such an asshole?
For Philosophy or similar: read slowly, don't try to argue against what you're reading, or debunk it or whatever. Just try to understand it for what it is, make your arguments only once you've done that. Make notes, obviously, especially try to get clear definitions of the key terms down. Try to express the argument back to yourself in the simplest, jargon free way possible. Studying logic would also be immensely helpful.

>>25179446What makes a book good or mediocre?
>>25179475Honestly most humanities degrees most likely land you something like a pretty well paid job in HR, where you get to fire the dumbasses that studied computer science thinking that'd get them easy money without having an ounce of intellectual curiosity about it.
>>25179494>hr fires people based on lack of intellectual curiosity???
