This anon never read the book. That point is only made one time, and it’s not in hell, it’s in heaven. As all things are in tiers, he asks the people in the lowest part of heaven how they feel and they say they’re delighted in being where God wants them

This is a funny meme, but Dante put his friends and people he liked into hell

I'm realizing my post was misleading and "dropped" is a bit of a misnomer... I finished what is out of the series. I should point out I didn't read it, I listened to the audiobook while cooking, cleaning and driving, etc so it was very low lift but I was gassed out towards the end - too much lead up with the hype moments not feeling as hyped. It was dumb fun though, honestly I may listen when the next one comes out depending if I'm still in the mood for pulpy trash and not into anything else at the time. I tried reading (not listening to) Mistborn and stopped, if I'm actually reading I need some more substance. Read the first two Latro books by Wolfe (Loved them. Ancient Greece with an interesting approach: its the diary of a soldier who loses his memory every day who encounters a bunch of ancient gods) and have now taken a left turn to Anna Karenina.

Inferno is great. Purgatorio is nice, but it does get very repetitive. Paradiso is genuinely beautiful and I teared up quite a few times while reading it

At first I was going to say that page 93 happened to be a particularily great page, especially fitting to post, but then I realized that I would think so about any (every?) page in this book, so I'm saying that instead.

I was to say Stirner but I assume his Individualism cucked him out of ever going as far as Sade.

This is interesting, only because, when you put so many of these trash books in one place, you really get a sense of how the victims are victimizing themselves, and the rubes are grifting themselves. It is a fascinating peek into the hell we create for ourselves.

The only thing missing is a category for books on religion.

How is that version of the Ramayana?

It’s not impossible. Christians believe in ‘micro-evolution’ in which a species variations change, but not ‘macro-evolution’ that variation can turn a species into another species over time.

> Violence leads to more violence

I see topic a lot in the ASoIaF series. But is this actually true though? I mean by this logic we would've had nuclear war by now.

It is what it is. Our books aren't going anywhere

because the whole concept of heaven and hell is a joke

A pedant aren't you?

I mean how do you know that 'Nietzsche's critiques of the dominant assumptions and methods did contribute in the historic sense [I] use to elevate Descartes no matter how much [I] dislike his influence.'?

This is just asspull. Just because you were mindless enough to need N's 'deep critiques' to get an 'historic sense' in philosophy doesn't mean that's my case. Again you show an appalling lack of philosophical perspective.
