>You sound like the kind of person whose journaling would probably best be done dialectically, especially if you've got a mind to retain that kind of verbal information, or do most of it through text. These threads are a nice opportunity to do that sort of thing.
What, you mean like Plato? Setting up situations and presenting different POVs? I could do that, it's like a story.
>I think it does, otherwise you'd probably not have said anything.
I suppose. I jsut figure that since there's no iherent doctrine to my thoughts, and they're just a scattershot trying to justify the day-to-day, it really doesn't matter until I choose a proper path in life.
>How much philosophy have you read, and whose?
Uh... I've read nothing. Not seriously. A passage here and there. I always mean to, but I went from school to Uni to absolutely wrecking that part of my life and I'm scrambling trying to pass the classes and graduate by 2022. Some things were my fault, a lot was out of my control. Anyway, I haven't read a book past textbooks in about a decade. Fiction or not. I went through a couple of political and philosophical "reinventions", through /lit/, /his/ and /pol/ and ultimately came out realising that I never actually adopted anything, I merely went with the flow of what helped me get by through at any given point in time. I never took them seriously.

Now, I can say that I don't seek to be illuminated. I seek to confirm my bias. Bad as that sounds. I've looked inwards and know what I want. The rest doesn't matter to me. "Good" or "bad", I don't care. I can see the merits, the arguments, everything, from multiple sides. But I just don't care anymore. I know what I am. I know what I want. So I'll try and get a firm grasp of most major doctrines, then try to construct my own "truth". I've always found it rather weird that most people tried to produce codes and ethics meant to decipher the ultimate truth and be followed by all. For me, there would be distinct doctrines depending on your role, and each part would have its spot in the grand play of the "Word". I cannot imagine spewing the same commands to a "good" life to people from entirely different classes and places. I think that I shouldtry and have answers for multiple POVs.

I'm also this anon here, if it matters >>16202540

> In an era of ethnic replacement, low home ownership, low fertility (among the natives), terrible gender relations, de-industrialisation, etc how can not a single book have dealt with these issues?
A non brit, Henry Kissenger's World Order covers this pretty well. I'll give you a tl;dr. Your country is irrelevant, and has been since the end of ww2. None of the policy changes you make come from Britain either, it's all in support of America. Everything. Right down to which country you give aid to or intake refugees to satisfy the international community.
Also, the low fertility rate "among natives" is a joke that needs to be stomped out. All immigrant fertility rates equalize and fall down to the same level once they arrive. Gender relations are fine, and you would know this if you went outside for a change.

After reading "Rich Ivy Leaguers Call Each Other Stupid" (Fire and Fury), I think I need a good conservative read to cope...

Any suggestions?
