Great thread.

Recommend me some books in which women get raped a la de Sade's Justine.

Thanks.

-Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland - The people who committed the holocaust, the actual crimes, like shooting tens of thousands of women, children, elderly ... were just (as the book titles says) ordinary men. Average Joe's, with average jobs and life's. They weren't specially selected for the job. Just a random battalion that was told to do it. Their superior gave them the possibility of not taking part in the killings. Only a dozen out of 500 stepped forward. A book I read shortly after this one, Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide and Mass Killing, was a psychology book that deals with this topic and argues, convincingly, that instead of trying to find a type of person that commits mass killings, or orders them (he deals with the psychology of the top nazis as well) we should try to understand the conditions under which anyone could commit what these man did.

He spent 10 minutes rambling about his daughter and the nazis, then he almost started crying.

It was hilarious, it really shows how much of a hack Peterson is.

Pretty sure you haven't read a single book by a historian on this topic.

Start with Ehrmans Jesus: Apocalyptic prophet of the new millennium and Dale Allisons Jesus of Nazareth: Millenarian Prophet.

Good intro books by two leading experts in the field. One is an agnostic, the other a Christian. Have fun.

How can I impregnate a white girl as a third worlder book nerd living in a third world country?
I had sex with whites in the past but never got the chance to give them the full "mating press" treatment.
So, books for that, I guess?

I don't know much about Ted. I know he criticized people that idealized hunter-gatherer societies. So what did he want our societies to look like?

I actually saw Benatar deliver a lecture in a phil conference. He looked like a normal late 40-s/early 50s guy waring a baseball cap. He came with a younger gf/wife. She sat in the last row. Since I was sitting there I saw she wasn't listening to him, instead she spent the entire time reading the tourist guide of the city.
