this is probably bait but i fully agree
islam is a religion for one who wants to sell his free will, for a man too dumb to actually git gud and find God within
not that there's something wrong with that. some people are just born this way.

Why yes, I did write a scatological ghost story about the haunted bathrooms of a boys only boarding school.

Guys I saw the forms and am literally coming back to "The cave.' which is now better termed "Man-Caves." .
Anyways...look around at life it-self. It's litterally ALL meta-physical concepts. The walls of our houses. The floors, the celings, the outside, it's all...strange natural phenomena. On par with the northern lights is the morning dew or the snow or the rain or even the city at night. Thoughts, friends?

>Realized that there's a kind of constant, all enveloping, paranormal presence. all around me
>Realized "I am" and I'm part of this paranormal presence they call "life" or "existence".
>Everyone and every-thing is all part of this same paranormal event happening.
> I feel like an anime character who broke the 4th wall.
Books for this feel?

Do any philosophers discuss the seemingly unlimited and infinite power of the imagination? Anyone who discusses how thoughts can be seen more clearly then sensations, or the possible utilities of this?

Do any philosophers talk about this (highly specific) idea? Basically, I was thinking that a multitude of belief systems would be better then just one, right? So what about a philosophical system that encourages altering our belief systems on a routine basis? I'm wondering if this is an original idea. Surly someone would have thought up something like this, though I am unsure where to begin searching.

>The executive has entered the building

honestly there's less of a difference between boys and girls then most people like to admit. most female or masculine traits are the result of arbitrary social norms which cause members of those genders to alter their personality to be more like their genders stereotype.

You're just repetitious. There are many different insults. Let me show you:
>You're a fucker, a loser, a scumbag, a fiend, and a a harbinger of idiocy
Get a little creative.

Yeah.

What hobbies and daily activities to you think the great philosophers and authors had? Particularly the stuff that molded them into smartboys.

I reached 20 thousand words in the book I'm writing, lit. I feel accomplished and like the books I've been reading are paying off. It's actually really helped me because I've been just draining my mind of all it's ideas. It's literally a load off my mind because now I've been able to compress down all my various random ideas. Thank you guys for getting me into reading and writing.

This. I remember seeing plenty on fanfictions in my time which made me personally happy, even though they'll never be well known. For instance, that one Arthur one were the guy writing it was obviously schizophrenic and kept talking about how they didn't have genitals, were smooth on the front, and didn't have to wear clothes. You unironically will not get that experience from any of the classics. It was like 200'000 words total too. Horrific, but enlightening to the human mindset.

Fuck you all, I'm going to get drunk and we're going to have a thread of doing nothing but discussing good insults from literature/history/4chan and insulting each other in the most entertaining and well written way we can. I'll start.
FUCK JANNIES

I'm doing monkey work (retail) while studying at somebody else's expense. It's all based and comfypilled.

What books for a general education and such? Something which might be either some kind of mini-encyclopedia or just a good general knowledge non fiction book or sorts. Is there stuff like this or anything?

>Exercise one is to visualize a coin and go looking for it
>See clearly a penny with a scratch on the back
>Go outside and somehow find that exact penny with the scratch
>Another exercise is basically practicing wim hof, or pranyama. That is, inhale and exhale as fully and quickly as able
>After 5 minutes entire body vibrates and feel like I took heavy drugs, is consistently able to stop pain and anxiety
>Another exercise is to speak as quickly as possible without knowing what you're going to say next
>Get to see clearly how my subconcious works and what words and phrases it uses, learn about myself
>Another exercise is to pretend to be of a completely different political ideology, philosophy, religion, culture. He actually recommends pretending to be a hardcore nazi/commie/jew/whatever and coming up with a fake plan for taking over the world with the new ideology
>Get to understand peoples worldview much better
Honestly a great book
