Metaphysics are conceived of in systems of representation in how they differ from each other while repeating a lot on the same adages and dialects. Deleuze attempts to simulate ateleological cognition i.e. metaphysics with no system of representation and convince you it's something clever and practical. This is bascially just stoner philosophy for overeducated French pedophiles and faggots. He spends half of the book trying to sell you on why opposing represation this is a worthwhile endeavor and his thesis isn't a total waste of time.

I haven't maintained a competent reading pace up until very recently, and I'm still a long way from done familiarizing myself with pieces of the literary canon I find compelling. It took me years to learn how to listen to music and I feel like I'm still figuring it out. Not expecting to have developed my own taste in literature for another ten years or so.

>The gap in health and physical potential between a young dyel male and his gymgoing equivalent is worth literally 30 remaining-old age pensioner life spans. That's not a moral statement, just a biological fact
I'd made a habit a few months ago of going to the public library to read in the company of other people without the need to spend money on shitty coffee. If I could just go there and get the gym back I'd be back to normal. Take care BTW.

>Because it would complicate the matters, scare off "moderates" and be a hard sell in a country sold on imperialism and worship of the military.
My issue is that the dialog of criticism around American hegemony by leftists is only ever imparted in an abstract sense that it is wrong rather than "the profiteering apparatus of systematic rape of third world countries is the same one that keeps me in debt/poor/without healthcare/etc".
The air of ~humanism~ and self-aggrandizing altruistic sensibility with which it's discussed is what bugs me, just because it fundamentally mischaracterizes the entire situation. It's a hundred times more difficult to get someone to care about war crimes on other continents than it is to explain that it isn't normal for their taxes not to work for them.
>They do, even Warren boycotted AIPAC this time and she is barely on the left.
You're right actually, I believe Bernie criticized their presence as well, which on its own is pretty fucking gangster and pretty dangerous when you consider the fact that they've assassinated more than a few political opponents.
>It's just the shit is too fucking complicated to make the voters see the benefits; and with the former they would deal with the antisemitism smears.
I think this is the real problem. The public are retards and aren't able to conceive of what their interests are.

Help, i've been irony poisoned! I can't make a single statement without it being buried within layers of self aware irony. I can't engage in normal conversation anymore, and haven't left the house for the past 6 months. I've lost the ability to debate things. I used to like arguing with people, no matter the subject, and i'd always express my fully fleshed out thoughts on the matter. Nowadays, it doesn't matter which subject, be it something i know and read a lot, or something which i've never heard about: i can't express my sincere opinion on it. First, because i don't have a single sincere opinion on anything. Second, because it's gay as fuck. I now spend my days entering on threads about subjects which i have less than wikipedia tier knowledge, samefagging and replying to multiple people, arguing for both sides, to make both sides look specially stupid, no matter what they are.
I'm tired, tired out of this bullshit. I want to be sincere, to express my earnest opinion about things. What are some books for this feel?

How do you transcend the narcissism of modernity? Catholicism? Nihilism? Some flavor of fatalism, ie. Land?
