26yr old spent the last 5 years reading every major work in philosophy, art, psychology, fiction, serioiusly eveyrthing ask me anything. I understand
Ask Me Anything
did you ever find out what zarathustra spoke?
Am I the most based man to touch the pen?
Do you feel happy and fulfilled?
Not OP, but even I know zarathustra spoke thus, c’mon
What hilariously short list of "every major work" do you think you could read in a mere five years?
Hey OP, what do you think about politics in general as they are right now?
how do i get a goth gf
Did you find Waldo?
why did you waste the prime of your life?
happy is a lot to expect but things are ok all things considered
don't touch me nature, i'm too sparkly for you~
Yes.
You or Dostoevsky? Probably not though.
My fulfillment will never be satisfied. Happiness is something made, but not to be expected, at least not all the time. You wouldn't want to be 'happy' all the time anyways, in a particular sense
Just all the important shit, A lot of the major works you know? Like you can look at the history and see what stands out. Being and Nothingness, Ulysses, Neitszche, Kant, A lot of aesthetics and Art uhhh, Psychology and shit,
It's none of my business. I don't pay attention to anything I know takes me away from what I want to Be.
Treat her like shit.
Like in third grade
I didn't I still got the experiences everybody else gets, plus the experience that the Rare find.
everything he wrote has it not come to true? i'm sure it isnt unique to him, if not him then who?
mental ddos there, take out the to.
You need to be more specific with what he wrote, a partoicular work? Generally speaking, he writes of the human experience. That is true. Common expereinces, Archtypes if you like, we all share. these archtypes are in the symbolism, and hidden in the unconscious. Follow those to get back to understanding your impulses and instincts.
how big is ur dick
What's the best place to take a dump?
Bigger than yours
in your pillow case
rude but nice dubs.
and yet your responses in this thread don't seem to show any depth of experience at all
stupid little boy, thinking you know everything at 26. i bet you think you've seen it all when actually you've barely been outside your home town.
Mostly demons, which I haven't read(radicalism communism and angry youth), as i'm reading the idiot now, could you give a example of symbolism in his work? Not to huge on symbolism, but it would help me able to recognize it for myself.
and you attitude shows a lack of compassion and comprehension
Yee of little faith.
The symbolism reveals itself in different scenarios throughout any of the novels. Think of it as the language of Art. I can't think of any particular examples right now, but think of it as like coincidences in the narrative, different objects and scenarios linking up to give a broader significance and meaning to whats happening. okay a bullshit example would be like Joe Schmoe is a symbol for riches, or whatever, now everything that this gfuy comes into contact with is going to change the context of the scenario, just becasue of his inherent symbolism he holds. That;s just the art of it, really, but the meaning of these symbols has a deeper significance, especially when you take for example like dreams and shit.
the demons can be symbols depending on there character and what they do.
>ad hominems a persons age
>throws tomatoes at the speaker verbally
>"i discovered externally therefore that is the best way"
i wouldnt value external learning too much past a certain point, you're bragging about training wheels
Youre assuming I don't have any experiences outside of my studies.
What single work of literature did the most to change/expand your perspective of society and human nature?
Okay yah totally, like the horse dream in C&P and the princes character pretty much is symbolism for virtue.
i assume that you're a bookworm that has been eating steady diet of knowledge nibbets and who grew their ego through a inbetween point and stopped progressing
Anything Nietzsche. Beyond good and evil first to loose your opinions.People shoudl get rid of the part of themselves that have opinions.
I've transcended my ego. I am only Truth.
tell me truth
who am i?
I mean yeah, probably. I haven't read that book in a couple years now. But regardless of the symbolism or not, Dostoevsky writes the human experience incredible well. psychological depth
read leo tolstoy
You are a thinking Being.
I have.
am i?
That's all you can fundamentally be. Life is what you make it though. You are in a constant state of Becoming. JUST DO IT!!! Whatever it is for you!
thank you for your consent "truth"
why my skin brown
You don't need my consent. I'm not giving you consent. I'm just helping you REMEMBER what you are. What you can be. DEFINE WHAT IT IS!! ANYTHING YOU WANT WILL COME TO YOU!! IT STARTS WITH YOUR THOUGHTS AND HOW YOU THINK ABOUT THEM! BUT DEFINE THESE THOUGHTS AND UNDERSTAND THERE MEANINGS! The light will shine on you then. You will be one with Him. You will be Him. You will be God. God , the idea of the Divine is analogous to the creative act, you create yourself. In a constant sate of BECOMING INTO BEING,
Your dad was a nigger
I think that the way you view woman can be a good tell on a person. OP, care to share?
if you were me and I was you, what would you ask me?
Okay. depends what I want form them, hahaha, but i treat all people how I would want to be treated. If I'm looking for a mate, all you have to do is look at them in the eyes and FEEL what you want them to know. Comminicate through emotion, body language, and feeling. You don't even have to say anything to get them interested in you. I'm assuming this is what you're interested in, not that every interaction with a woman has to be like this.
How do I reach the kingdom of heaven? How do I become the sublime man? What is there to know? What can I do with these powers and knowledge? What is God? How do I become God?
I'm a misanthrope, what do I read
>misanthrope
anything. It will only gets worse.
Please explain to me the tabula smaragdina.
>tabula smaragdina.
Probably some magick shit...uhh crowely was into that egyptian shit, and magick is basically conjuring up these unconscious states of mind, Archtypes locked in your head, and that's probably talking about it and showing the reader how to get back to instincts. which is like the goal. INSTINCTS. unreflected emotions and impulses. being an animal and forgetting your consciousness.
thats what all these religious texts are trying to say. just in different terms, differnet routes to the same destination.
Interesting.
Was it worth it? I was thinking of doing the same.
You'll have something no one else has. You'll come out being something......I don't have the words to describe what you will be after this.
Can you tell me something about Schelling and his relation to Kant?
Do you subscribe to an empiricist and materialist view of history or a transcendental view? Quigley, Spengler, or Guns Germs and Steel?
Are you a regular in Yea Forums? I'm thinking of posting my progress and I'd like to know what differs from someone that has done it
>muh worldly traveler meme
brainlet. Kant hardly traveled more than a couple miles outside of Königsburg his entire life and yet he was able revolutionize the entirety of Western philosophy.
Wish I fucking got started as early as you did. God fucking damn it.
did he read the Critique? I don't know.
both. insight form both, but nothing is true, everything is permitted. There are no facts, only interpretations.
kind of. started goin on lit 5-6 years ago and just lurked, found some good books. I've known about Yea Forums since like highschool though, like 10 years ago.
I'm not sure, but from what little I know German Idealism largely seems to be responding to the problems posed by Kant. I'd assume that he probably did read the Critique.
Like I'm all about the critique. That whole series actually. Shows you all the parts of your thinking, like and DEFINES these different areas of thought and shit. so good, really helps with reason and understanding, which, that what Goethe called God, was the Reason and understanding. Once you break this threshold in your understanding and shit you start to see everything.
Post full reading list, OP.
How do I dragons
What's next?
POST FULL FUCKING READING LIST NOW YOU ABSOLUTE PSEUD
shit, that's hard, I got a picture of my library, but I have a lot of books I've downloaded from Achive.org. but you gotta give me a second, I'm playing COD4 right now. hahahah
Whatever your little heart desires.
Seriously, how do I restore the dragonsphere?
You didn't keep a log of what you read?
plus, I've read so many fucking books, I could't even give you like a list of them. All of neitszche, Sartre, existenalism, determinism, pssycholanalysis, uhhh Art and aesthetics (very importatnt so you can see the ordering of all this shit happening), ulysses by james joyce, uhhh, just read that shit, I'll post more when it comes to me,
No, what's next for you.
I've never played it. Was hoping you would have played oblivion....
I do. I have the physical books, and notes that I keep on my computer, I reread those every once and while just to kind of refresh what I've been through.
this is what I've done lately, like the past month
Not making a reference to a game. Talking about how to establish a future computer society of artificial lifeforms that are all dragons.
You're making me cum
Is this whole post/thread an elaborate shitpost?
I promise, it isn't. I really am being as honest as I can right now. Granted in time, I can elaborate more, but duuuude, I fucking promise.
Either way, the placement of the ass pic was subtle
I have a massive collection of tasteful nudes, mu dudes
>Every
Define "Major" you fucking poser.
>If I didn't read it, it wasn't a major work.
>the last 5 years reading every major work in philosophy, art, psychology, fiction
Literally impossible
okay, like the shit in history that stands out. then, the books these other books were talking about. There's like a path guys, I swear, You don't need to read it all, just like the important shit, and then boom, enlightenment, or hwatever you wanna call this. Shit starts fucking happening. Like you'll be able to control any situation, JUST WITH YOUR THOUGHTS!! Like I promise, this is not an exaggeration. It's because all that you read you become, and being in that scenario or whatever, you emit, like this persona, this essence, and people pick up on that, I promise, it's hard for me to explain right now, but like you will have this ULTIMATE POWER, because everything starts in your mind, and other peoples mind, if you have this knowledge of whats happeneing then you start to control it.
