I watched the centenary ring over the course of a week - one full part every other evening. It was my first time watching anything Wagner and I can only recommend it.

What are the classic books and papers of contemporary (analytic) epistemology?

It's like I'm at Berghof myself

I just want to preface this and say I'm not a socialist or anything but I'm pretty sure we've all been brainwashed by capitalism to an extent. I was talking to people at uni and I just realised how pathetic we all are. All anyone talks about is jobs, internships, etc etc. All we hope for is an opportunity to provide our labour for someone else. Then spend it on useless shit. 99% of people at uni just do everything in the hope of doing some menial job. Then they go home and watch netflix. It saddens me.

People are.......boring? Most people barely have opinions on things outside of popular culture. They don't seek out anything new or fresh, just what is new. Their tastes say nothing about them. I would rather here people say they like some obscure show that suits a niche than GoT which appeals to everyone. I wanna talk to people and hear about something new, some subculture or anything that I haven't considered before.

Now that I'm more in the "real world" e.g. working instead of studying it made me realise the average anon is actually very interesting. A wide range of hobbies and opinions. Granted alot of what they say is shit, but when they're shitposting they're still saying something.
