Discussion BOOK CLUB

[Schwarzwald]

Anyone interested in a book club?

Any ideas for the first book?

I am currently reading harassment architecture but that doesn't clearly need to be the book it's not even the first one.

I think you all would probably like this book, those who read.

Well not all some of you aren't funny or are gay so it might not be as funny to you.

Science books I read recently that I enjoyed that aren't straight textbooks:
The Anthropic Cosmological Principle
The Road to Reality by Penrose
Evolution books by Martin Nowak (in the Epstein files)
John Maynard Smith
Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology by Bussin' et al. (its a bit dry though)
Dawkins is a good entry to evopsych if you want to turn your brain off


OMG! What kind of Hitlerite furnishing is this? Is it 'based'? I have noticed the resurgence of figures like Evola and words like Master/Slave Morality, is it related?

I don't read fiction often but I like the Earthsea books. I am reading 'Book of the New Sun' at the moment. Humorously, the reviews from men are all '5/5 OMG the prose is so good!!', and all of the female reviewers are like '0/5 male gaze trash!!'. As an intersectional feminist icon and champion of womens rights everywhere I am interested in seeing whether Gene Wolfe should be thrown on the book pyre as a blip of history, or whether he is simply a misunderstood progressive like myself.

I am interested mostly in interdisciplinary nonfiction and dense-prose fiction. Do you usually only read philosophy books Schwarzwald, and how have they refined your understanding of modern social issues in a way that bipartisan media has not?

Harassment architecture is pretty funny to me so far to be honest I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously but maybe it is idk so far. For me this book seems to be like an Alt right American psycho with a Paul verhoven dark comedy vibe. Like a chud I could have grown up with in highschool, we all got older but he's still in that highschool mind set but idk it's enjoyable. Relationship is a silly way, like this light " her teeth would look good on the curb" it has this ringing of American psycho but it's idk pale?

The CIA putting anime into the ghetto to mind control blacks is so funny it's beyond funny.

In terms of my last non fiction hmmmm, the origins of totalitarianism, games people play, and chimpanzee politics. I could check the list for something more encompassing if you would like.

I like just reading it doesn't matter what other then a mood. My favorite fiction would be the chronicles of amber, master and Margarita, the life of insects. I think my favorite "junk food" fiction would have to be the warhammer 40k books

Earth sea? I'll look at it.

I'm not a large CRT Frankfort school modernist to be honest, I'm not that interesting.

I do I don't think I mentioned any in this thread but if you lurk enough I'm sure you have a vague pale idea of what I think or believe and if you want like a whole list would be happy to make one.

To be honest I sense for this closing question and this forum in general a pretentious sneer behind the question and most engagements here.

I wasn't being pretentious, I was just interested in some philosophy recommendations! So much in politics/philosophy has been distilled into two parties fighting. Philosophy/Politics is something I don't read much of, so I was curious, especially because I sensed a systematizing mind with creative qualities, it hints at unique perspectives I might not have considered.

Sorry if it came off accusatory it wasn't my intention.
I'm assuming you want modern philosophy writers as well but let me get some very bare fundamentals.

Hegel is a bitch made hoe. All my homies hate Hegel, on the dead homies.

Kant is based.

Ummm who else, max steiner, evola, Jung , Nietzsche, Slavoj Žižek, Norm Finkelstein (more of a political scientist) Hans Hermann Hoppe are some of the other baselines.

Let me think about more modern stuff.

Evolutionary psychology the new science of the mind - david m BUSSY!

Atomic habits - James clear read it about 5 years ago? Good shit.

The psychology of money - morgan housel

Meditations - Marcus even if it's ultra basic

Oh basics duh!

The Bible! :3 - big mans Jesus!

seneca letters from a stoic

All of robbert greene ( this guy right here a lot of people love and I don't hate him he's write about a lot but I'll be honest some of me reading his work is not exactly because I fully align with him but that other people do)

The prince...

Like I said before a book called games people play, really good.

John lock lol?

Idk man idk what you want what your looking for from me or this is some purity test.

My schooling revolved around art and composites idk.

I'm just a silly little guy who silly little taste. Idk what the discord ops have been saying.

I'm the worst thing the worst type of person an ancap libertarian lol I know the scourge of the universe.

@GGWP

lmao what was the point of that?

Between the replies and how I deal with any thread I'm in, you deleting what you said is goofy as fuck.

Seems like an over step in the weirdest way.



Next time I guess I'll fall for the snare :3

I should have mentioned

Its a good one and I read it ever few years lol.
