Thoughts?

>tfw I'm a Goonan-poster but have yet to read any Goonan

But really, you think this is just a self-help book, and you think my goal is to crack the self-help market? THIS SHIT IS FUCKING REVOLUTIONARY, and I hope to completely change the course of our entire species.
Hey, fair enough. Godspeed you sir.

No specifics. There's lots in there to think about, I plan on going back and re-reading it again soon in fact. There's a lot there to digest and chew over! Thought you wanted to take a chainsaw to cynicism and ressentiment and BTFO laziness. An admirable project and thoroughly enjoyed the read! If you start a blog, do book reviews, recommend other stuff I'll check in on it.

Adios mi amigo. Good luck with the exploration.

No matter how shit life is, at least I don't have to shill my book on a Vietnamese slideshow board, let alone reply to myself.

Oh well goon at least you always have le redpill.

Thank you. Sorry, I just hate the categorization "Self Help". But I guess you can say all philosophy is self-help.

Glad to hear you are re-reading it. I have to re-read it myself sometimes. I have lost a lot of momentum and energy after finishing the book but I hope to regain some energy and start laying the true foundations of a revolution and DO THINGS. It took a lot out of me after being in such a high-strung state for a year writing it, and I am down about the poor response I've gotten in the past 7 months, but I've actually sold 110 copies surprisingly. I hoped it was going to be 100,000 copies but realize 110 is better than 0. I don't mean to be a complete shill, but seeing as you are a very articulate person who has the energy to write coherent responses, it would mean a lot if you could write a review for the book on Amazon. Keep an eye out for developments on my website.

Stop talking to yourself and get gone goon. Your book is uninspired reactionary garbo and anything in it that seems like a cogent idea is plucked from books written by people who aren't poltarded shills.

We don't have free will. Any definite equation has a definite answer and, the universe as it is right now is the equation.

Our bias, through biology and experiences (which include interactions with other people that are essentially slaves to their own bias) dictate which option seems the best, how deeply we think about something etc.

I think it's important to try to better yourself, but if you do then you were always going to.

The one immutable thing from consciousness is the experience itself - therefore what is feels good is good. Destruction is never a valid answer.

There are two valid and opposing paths. Greatest good for the greatest amount of people - And greatest good for you.
Through the eyes of God and Man respectively. Obviously the latter applies to you. Though this ultimately leads to the former

This is partially symbolized in the Masonic pillars

Nah goonan is someone else i can recognize shitpostanon by the way he writes his posts

yeah when I wrote that I thought I was replying to one of those britanon complaining about chad threads

I wrote this:
My ideas are honestly what's true. Yiu experience life from your own consciousness. This is what meaning for you is based off of, and the outside world only instrinsicly matters insofar as it affects you. The feeling of pleasure negates any ideas of meaninglessness in life

Laugh My Fucking Ass Off, what is wrong with you people.

Here is a snapshot of the section on Economics on the Consumer, one of the four pillars of the economy, which also includes Business Owner, Worker, and Government.

The Consumer-

The consumer plays a major role in making Conscious Capitalism function. In the end, it is up to the conscious individual to choose
to support either destructive businesses or businesses that strengthen society for all. A sacrifice must be made by the consumer in
the form of paying a higher price in order to support businesses that do not operate destructively. In the end the payoff for
supporting certain businesses (this is where nuance comes in) is far greater than the money saved in supporting a destructive
business and economic system.

A business that operates destructively exploits the worker, consumer, and Earth. The consumer may still feel it is necessary to play
into the game of the exploitation of themselves because they believe there are no other options. The consumer may also be oblivious
to there own exploitation. The consumer that does not care about the worker does not have any empathy, common sense, or
understanding of what it takes to build society. The consumer who facilitates the exploitation of the worker is no better than the
business owner that exploits. Consumers do not comprehend that they are also workers. It is in their best interest to support the
actualization of other workers for the sake of the widespread benefits that come around to themselves.

According to the doctrine of modern economics, with economies of scale, large corporations are able to cut costs and sell their
products to consumers cheaper. Under the same doctrine, the consumer should buy the cheapest product and support the most efficient
business to save money and in turn support a system that uses resources efficiently. Except common economics and economical thinking
does not consider the larger picture. Unconscious consumers choose to support businesses in the component that is most visible,
their ability to produce a product efficiently and cheaply. Yet this ability does not make the certain business the best choice. If
a consumer supports the corporate economic structure, they are supporting their own indirect demise. They may get their goods
cheaper, but they must also work for cheaper for the same corporations that control the economy. Large corporations are soulless-
they have no concept of rejecting destructiveness and choosing building. Individuals become faceless cogs in the corporate machine
and are treated that way.

continued...

A strong overall economy is one in which the focus is on strengthening the smaller-scale economies of the communities within it by
supporting small local businesses. This economy is also one in which money is not allocated to entities that extort and exploit.
With a small-scale economy you have the opportunity to form relationships, keep a closer check on how the business operates, and
trust in a local business run by people you can interact with. By supporting a small local business you are more likely to get a
well-crafted or tailored high quality product and you support the self-actualization of the workers and business owners who choose
to operate in the way of building. By supporting the community economy a person supports the community's ability to be self-reliant,
along with helping each individual in that community to become self-reliant. Self-reliance is incredibly important in the formation
of a strong individual and for its practicality in strengthening communities against the turbulence of the larger world.

Small businesses have a greater opportunity to allocate power to its workers more easily.
Small businesses have a better opportunity to not extort the workers or consumers.
Small businesses are less likely, by their nature or by their operation, to have less of an impact on the environment and on the
aesthetic of the environment.

With a small-scale local economy you keep the money local and in the hands of people you can trust and who do not exploit. By
supporting large-scale corporations you give money to an entity that extracts money from one area and allocates excessive profits to
people living elsewhere. There is less oversight in dealing with large corporations and less of an ability to influence their
destructiveness. The destructiveness of a large corporation flourishes because each individual that contributes to the operation
feels no accountability. The consumer must invest in small locally owned businesses. It is counterproductive to join into the
corporate economic scheme by putting money into the status quo corporate stock market. The corporate status quo is status quo
because it is pushed onto the masses and because it is the easiest and less risky way to make money. The individual must look at the
origin of fast-money making and must look beyond quick profits. Special care must be made in choosing the right small local business
to invest in because these businesses are less of a guaranteed money generator.

continued...and I'll stop posting.

In a system of capitalism, there cannot be an excessive artificial propping up of non-destructive businesses that do not operate
effectively. There must be competition or else the use of resources is inefficient. The individual will to compete and produce the
greatest most efficient product must be preserved. It is also to the benefit of society that some industries simply will have to
remain large-scale as well. In these industries there is less room for the self-actualization of workers and large-scale efficiency
is highly practical. These businesses should be the last to be converted into smaller-scale counterparts, but there should still be
focus in eliminating all destructiveness in operation and if necessary, scale. The conversion of industries to small-scale will not
happen overnight.

I know you are just projecting your own insecurity so I should just ignore you like I do all the other dunces, and I know it is impractical to say this because there are so many books to sort through, but, don't knock this book until you read it cover to cover.

>there own exploitation
typo m8

How do you feel about finding a way to give big corporations strict rules that keep them from exploiting and destroying. Maybe (dynamically) limiting the amount of money the big guys can earn, depending on how they run their business.

Ideally people will hopefully realize the big picture, that there is a balance to be found that mutually benefits the consumer as the corporation, in the long and short term. Money can't buy happiness.

Sry if that was cringe.

I'll probably pick up your book, I like it.

1 more question. I feel like it's clearly possible to reject and build, as well as to destroy and accept.

How is it not?

Good luck, start writing a new book I'd say.
