So Veeky Forums, what have you learned from all you've read?

I know very little. I need to read more. I need to get serious about learning a second language

I learned that I'm easily influenced by books and almost always agree with the author on everything

That I will literally never write anything even close to good

Same. I've been procrastinating on my goal to learn spanish.

That I know nothing.

That I am nothing.

That all things are nothing to me.

How to properly form a chain of logic.

That when you realize you cannot escape life, you can only move forward.

That even the life of a poor man's slave is valuable.

To him, maybe.

I've come to a kind of peace with life's cyclical joys and sufferings.

also that God/s is/are real

I've learned that books are a nice way to start a conversation on a train during long distance travel. And that reading really should be done at the home in a well lit room when no-one is in.

Do you ever pick up books that are obviously against your belief to fight the good ol confirmation bias? :)

That I'm really dumb

I have learned to loathe myself. Reading a lot of philosophy has granted me an incurable inferiority complex - I have to live with the knowledge that I shall never be a great thinker, yet that is the only thing I truly wish.

1) the end is imminent
2) our physical abilities of communication and perception are very limited
3) my life is shit but there are shittier lives so i should not be so down all the time
4) women are lovely but retarded
5) humans are fucking assholes but also pretty cool
6) there's no place like inside of your mind

yeah and most of the time I end up changing my beliefs

My exact thoughts and feelings, brother.

Get stewed: books are a load of crap

Resentment is the most potent poison

Jews are pretty bad.

That our outside world of what we do and what we have is only a reflection of how we organize our inner worlds

what larks

'To love another person is to see the face of God.'

that post modernism was a mistake
