I do read, apparently you don't. Nothing that other anon said is racist, he actually acknowledged his bias; and afterwards gave credit to west despite this.

West actually writes a great extent about acknowledging such things so in his own framework that anon > you in terms of authenticity.

Feel free to stop posting you overly PC brainwashed fuck.

I just cant believe people care about anything he said or wrote.

He truly gets so much attention for such a bad crop of writing and half baked philosophy.
Part of me thinks people like the idea of being on the same "radical" side as De Sade.

hurr durr i beat da shit out of dis gurl because im rich but you cant own property hurr.

meanwhile he cried like a total bitch when they sent him to prison.
I honestly can't understand how people can respect someone who can dish it out but cant take it. Literally the worst kind of coward.

He was a fucking retard in real life as well and thought an author was supposed to make his characters believable so i guess you are right.

its still really cringe worthy as a whole work and as a reflection of who he was as a person.

But im honestly not even judging the work on his personal life. I just think its bad in general.

>scientism
in my experience its more of a term thats supposed to be critical of the political leanings within science and the amalgamation of normative social scientific ideals into the life sciences in conjunction with the abuses going in the peer review system?

So, a biology study that follows a normative agenda is scientissisic. And it happens more than ever.
So yeah that makes it in fact a pretty big deal.

>using fountain pens, expensive leather bound journals, and smoking cigars

Pic related, it's probably you. All of this is nothing more than fetishism you've picked up from people/places/times you admire and the pretension you associate with such things. You are now aware that $1 composition books and ballpoint pens exist and actually perform more efficiently than the fountain pen and expensive as fuck pretentious leather journal (as if your writing "deserves" to be in something "better" than a cheap notebook) you got suckered into paying through the nose for.

But that's just, like, my opinion man. Just b urself.

Looking for a psychology book? Here are a few you should concern yourself with. Granted I have not read tons but these were very solid ones.
>these are aimed for people without background in Psych
>studied psych in college

"How the mind works" -Steven Pinker
If you are going to read a psychology book, this should be the first you read. very eye opening

"Consciousness explained"-Daniel Dennett
Read this after pinker's book, they compliment each other extremely well.

I also read "the definitive book of body language" and thought it was awesome at the time, idk how it holds after i took research methods.

Hope this helps!!
