Imagine not emulating Jungs life and integration the shadow as an alpha male.

Well, my man, he doesn't have even a cursory apprehension of the manner in which women interact with the affectual behavioral valences which constitute the feminine psychic perceptual reality.

Women, and their judgement of men, the righteous judgement of Man himself, is righteous in that it is justified, in that it constitutes that which selects Man to represent the form in which he takes.

This is a manner of thought which he cannot comprehend due to his inexperience with women.

What is the most disturbing piece of literature you have read ?
What novel is there to fill you with fear and dread ?
I've read quite a few horror novels over the years but I haven't quite found that one that make me stay awake at night.
Is there such a thing /lit/ ?

Even in that case, that quote in OP is not contradictory to genetic determinism
A lot of people who ended up great did in fact start out without any sort advantage or innately talented, but gained their talents through hard work.
Of course, it then becomes a question again of genetic determinism because it could always been they were genetically disposed to long-term satisfaction and hard work, but that's neither here nor there.
High IQ doesnt directly translate to being successful, nor does large amounts of wealth inherited. A mid-IQ pauper can easily through his own accords become a high-standing figure in his field, even if he does fall short of the natural genius

If it's english /lit/, Everyman tends to be great if you don't care for notes (though very few of the best editions with notes publish hardcovers). With foreign /lit/ always get the best translation no exception. Buying a shit translation because the binding looks nice is the hallmark of the pseud. Some classic stuff has illustrations (for example Dore engravings) and come in elaborate editions so get those if you're interested in the engravings. If you have money to burn then there are premier publishers like Arion press, Franklin Library, and Easton press. Folio Society also exists but I've heard many complaints from their books, so do some research before getting them. For general English classics though, Everyman is really good. Library of America is also a contender but I found their paper to be super thin and tears easily. The most patrician option is of course going to a used book store and finding an old version of the book that isn't in a mass produced form. I only say to get paperbacks when no hardcover is available, when a hardcover copy is absurdly expensive, or when it's <200 pages.

But the single most important thing to remember is never to buy pengion unless you absolutely have to because of a certain translation (such in the case of Gilgamesh).

He's just heidegger with training wheels and some pop-science and Jung mixed in. Everytime he starts talking about evolution I can't help but roll my eyes, he fundamentally misunderstands causality itself for the sake of his non-ideolog ideology.

Put your Thunder-shirt back on, son.

How easy do you guys think it is to sell to normies? By normies I mean casual readers on sites like patreon and such. I'm not a great writer from what I can feel, perhaps average or a bit less. I still feel like I can make some money off of casual readers since they usually read anything entertaining.

I write "anime" novels. Cringe and edgy-free though...KID

Also post authors who went from shit to glory.
