Are there any books which explain the normie mindset? I have a feeling that most normies do the things that they do not really because they enjoy them but rather because other people do them

My country is an intellectual and cultural wasteland that has never contributed anything to civilization at large. Its educational institutions are based on amerimutt neoliberal diploma mills sans the prestige and billions of dollars that get poured into them by sponsors. Most university graduates in my country have an unjustifiably high opinion of themselves which coupled with their genetic midwittery makes for their passive-aggressive pseudo-intellectualism. For this and other reasons I mostly shun participation in the cultural and intellectual life of my country but of late I am very sad because I can't participate in meaningful discussion about ideas with other people. Does anyone else have the same problem?

But it's anti-Christian if anything, it affirms the superiority of the flesh and senses over the spirit, even concluding with a mockery of the Holy Ghost by saying its still an imperfect vehicle for "lips and hands"

anyone else find it strange we put those words at the end of the quote?
i'd be finished reading the quote before i realize i wasn't suppose to read it as monotone, and i might even be reading it in the wrong character's voice
on a similar note, the spanish were right with using "¿" at the beginning

Should I commit suicide sooner than later bros before it is too late? What if they cured aging and then an evil guy with infinite resources tortured us all forever while he rejuvenated us every time our cells got damaged?
What is the solution to this?

Sure but who's reading the economist?

Please recommend short story writers whose works are not lewd or vulgar.

How can we spread nihilism between normies more and more so that they kill themselves and then we get to enjoy a smaller population and thus more resources?

What are some books you've read that have gave you interest with every page turn? Books that made you wish late hours of night never end? Books with so much character they inspire you to finish? Books better than the best beat off session you've had?
