Hello, fellow lonely strangers and young men who have been cast aside by the forces of evil and left to fend for themselves against the evil within their own hearts.

It's very easy for us to lose ourselves in the windstorm of instincts, and to forget that we strive for truth because we strive for love. Easy to forget that at bottom, we are all here because two people loved one another. Perhaps they themselves were plagued by evil, as most of us are. But, still, you are here, and alive, and living, and you have the power to overcome what it is they could not. That chaos is still in you, and is beyond good and evil.

Focus on the evil in your own heart, the weakness in your own soul, and overcome yourself through an appeal to the man that you could be. A man who can rise above the insanity of politics, and pursue deeper meaning in spiritual and scientific truth; the highest ideal being that of a synthesis between. A man who can revel In the love of good women, and the enjoyment of beautiful music, the creation of things beyond himself such that others may know his soul and what it is that he himself loved.

Violence against those who are truly aiming at evil will come in its own time. Become stronger in body and soul, so that when the time comes to defend yourself from the evil man, you are not instead tempted by his offering of salvation from the chaos he created. The state is a monster off its leash, and you are perhaps one of the few people who may help reign it in.

>But are there books that might help you do the work, instead of just representing the process?
Yeah, Jung's work.

Challenge me, if you dare.

Consider this proposition, being at the heart of pragmatism ...

What difference would it make either way? If you propose an idea or put forward a proposition, and you wouldn't change the way you behave or think as a consequence of it being proved or disproved, then what exactly are you even talking about?

Put your proposition forward and then figure out how you'd change your behavior as a consequence of it being true or false. If the answer is "I wouldn't change anything about my behavior or thoughts" then you're just arguing with the wind.

I’m currently studying an engineering course and it’s 90% guys, so the answer for that is really no. I just don’t really have any women in my life (outside of relatives) it’s not deliberate. It’s just there isn’t any in anything I do. I have been on a few dates and the like but it’s all cold approaches to get there. Everyone always says to me (and so does the book) to meet people in real life through common activities but that just doesn’t happen to me. That’s fine, while I refuse to do online dating for now I won’t expect anything and just keep trying how I always do but I think it’s clearly not how most people go about it

I have no favourite book
