Communism relies on people to be poor and oppressed or else no-one will care about it. Marx never predicted that capitalism had the ability to reform itself. It has and now people can earn more money like never before.
The fact that one person has made it in the system shows that with some skill you are able to rise above and bring in more money.

Books about technology in general? A /glit/ list perhaps? A certain infograpgic containing the different subjects pertaining to technology?

Part Four, the Finale You're Sure to Love:

Anyway, hope I'm not forgetting anything! Haha. (Shit: Beckett, Faulkner, Brecht, Joyce, Sartre, Strindberg...Aristophanes.) I guess I'm a terrible person to make literature recommendations, since I've read too much and so many feel like my babies, which makes it so damn hard to choose my favourite ones. This is far from comprehensive, but it should give you enough direction until you get tired of reading and cycle back to film ; )

Does anyone have that quote by Aristotle or Plato I believe where they effectively say: "If I tell a man to kill himself then he does it, he was already weak anyway blah blah", something along those lines?

MC is the descendant of all important historical figures and leaders, from Nebudchanezzar to Hitler. He is the product of a millennia-spanning project to create the perfect genetic lineage, engineered by The Ancients, a race of ageless proto-humans. They find out that the genetic material of humans has degenerated a lot since Antiquity, even the MC, who is the product of breeding the strongest, smartest and most charismatic people on Earth, is less strong/smart/charismatic than his ancestors, but still better than modern humans. One of the Ancients goes rogue and decides that the experiment was a failure and wants to rule humankind himself. The novel will examine the themes of whether creating a specific succession of rulers is ethical, the flaws in human nature that impede world governments from working together against a common threat and if our blood determines our destiny.
Plot twist: The MC is me

When did you realise that reading is merely a form of entertainment that is elevated by pretentious people who can't think for themselves and who glorify novels due to bullshit from English departments? And that reading is merely a consumerwhore activity? And that reading yourself stupid can happen?

And that people have different criteria for what makes books enjoyable? And your denial of this is due to your knowledge that worshipping at the same books altar as many others will get you pseudointellectual cred?

>The majority of great fiction writers who have ever lived are alive right now.

When did you realise this truth?

Hey look, me and Chomsky have similar ideas about critical theory, only he's humouring you guys.

I'll say it explicitly. Critical theory is snake oil nonsense. So is literary theory and gender theory

Who else is in the awkward position of enjoying good writing too much to enjoy the huge majority of sci-fi and fantasy yet being too much of a no bullshit non pseud to enjoy trite as fuck, pompous, New Yorker style "literary fiction" or kitchen sink pomo lolsorandumb rubbish, or genuinely shit and boring as fuck old books?

That's me. Though I think k many old books were written as weekly or fortnightly serialised disposable trash that was later venerated by pseudo intellectuals, so I'll give those a free pass.

But the dilemma remains. Seeing little brainlet English majors talking about how the latest Ari Rothstein Chimbangong*click*ga novel about an NYU fashion PhD finding love while on holiday in Vermont skewers our "superficial society" just bores me to death and fills me with pity. Also disgust because it seems pseuds are always aggressive towards clear thinkers.

What are some good philosophy YouTube channels?

Good to see him endorse Hitler as a natural reaction to the degenerate Weimar Republic.
