>survey threads

Why not just make it a general "what are you reading and what your thoughts/opinions about it?"

Why add shitty survey crap to it? Why is my name or location relevant to what I'm reading?

greetings fellow kekistani! be sure to get the ART OF THE ARGUMENT by Stefan Molyneux, it's a great, great book!

want to know how to defeat those sjw leftist cucks? look no further! save the white race!

this is western civilization's land stand! buy this book or you have failed the white race!

Reading great philosophy works this young is a huge mistake.

Idk. These threads happen all the time and nobody complains about it. Just share what you're reading is the main thing, though.

Why?

See I've tried to read some "Great" philosophy but feel like it's completely wasted on me due to my lack of understanding & general lack of life experience. Glad to see there's at least some logic there.

23, recently moved to London.

Reading: Gulag Archipeligo, Crime and Punishment, The Nudge Unit and The Myth of Sisiphus

Because you lack the experience and maturity to fully comprehend the concepts. Hence, by the time you're mature enough to fully understand what he's saying on a deeper level you will have to reread the book. And you probably won't do that.

Out of curiosity, is there any philosophy would you recommend to an 18 year old then? Or should I just stick to reading fiction with philosophical themes & concepts till I get the confident enough?

it's not age itself, but it's safe to assume op hasn't read the greeks and early modern philosophers and just jumped straight to Kant

It's a bad idea to read the critique with other books. I doubt you make it past the deduction with all that on your plate

you should pitch dropping the age and location demographics because you're going to be constantly logging the last of the emulators and not the trends they'll emulate. tell them it's worth a 5% salary bump.

I'm reading The Savage Detectives. It's been a wild ride so far
I was thinking of reading that next since the last book I finished was The Dubliners. Recommend it?

That's an odd question. Why ask?
I love Portrait. Everyone should read it.
Actually, you're right. I've read, Plato, some Aristotle, Hume, and Descartes—that's it. I think I may start fresh with Plato and re-read so I can properly work my way up to modern philosophy. It's just that I'm impatient and I want to learn about politics specifically, but I guess I shouldn't rush.

Excited to get into Bernhard's works after this journey with the Pequod.

why would you read that shitty history textbook

Smoky Mountains in Tennessee
House of Leaves mostly writing though.

Because outside of AP history classes, I know nothing about history; and I don't want to be ignorant.

a) that is a literal high-school history textbook
b) learn to use semicolons

Perhaps you could impart your knowledge of good history to me, then.

Maybe his high school is in a red state. They make you read Rand for history.

Hobsbawm's Age of Revolution is a great read for the subject

Marcus is the most popular, but I reckon Epictetus is way way better.
