>And now, as we reach the end of the essay, it is important that the reader is reminded of the consequences should the preceding beliefs be acquired. For if man is prone to be unprincipled, if his intelligence is swayed by the fruitless works of that spineless representation of femininity, our posterity will remain on unstable ground.

Racism is bad. And that's not okay.

This. Spending time and engaging with people from different cultures and classes is much more revealing than any book (other than some works of fiction) I've read.To see the tendency for people to live as bullshit factories rather than as Hobbesian hunch-backs is where the insight is begins.

Obviously the trans outrage got him popular but prior to this he had a entire backlog of psychology videos that people could watch after learning about him. At 18 I found out about him through a existentialism lecture he did then I found his other stuff. He was appealing because
1. Pyschocology is memey and appealing at first sight.
2. I didn't know anything about myths or Carl Jung.
3.The overwhelmingly liberal culture I grew up in was always fighting against my intuition so I sought media that would confirm these intuitions.
Overall he did more good than harm to my life and he was more valuable a person to follow than any YouTuber/Twitch/YouTuber/Twitch e-celeb at the time.

Do you ever catch yourself pondering certain words in your language, and how weird or unique they are from the rest of your language? I recently found myself thinking about the word "yet", and it just seemed so odd to me. It is such a simple word with almost a guttural grug sound to me, and at the same time it is a has a complexity to it.

People seem to misunderstand OP’s question. It’s not about “which philosophies are evil”
It’s about “what is the philosophy of evil people”

Why does a murderer kill? Why does a thief steal? Why do people do bad things consciously and deliberately?

Any recs which attempt sincerity but dwell in ironic detachment and bitterness?
I tried Hollerback and really liked him, though I appreciate things which aren’t necessarily contemporary

Ok /lit/, here goes my blogpost.
I'm a 20y old Dutch guy that hasn't read a book since highschool. I study engineering and do digital art in my spare time. I often feel very nihilistic/depressed, I'm a lazy fuck who wastes his time away doing nothing.

Recommend me some books to get me into litterature and prepare me for the more difficult works.
