It was a life of solitude and frustration for the man, an outcast in a world that seemed designed to reject him. He saw himself as superior, a brilliant mind unappreciated by a society that favored the flashy and the shallow. He felt a constant rage simmering within him, a boiling cauldron of frustration that threatened to spill over at any moment.

He spent his days holed up in his small apartment, nursing a deep sense of resentment and anger. He scoured the internet, reading forums filled with like-minded individuals who shared his frustrations and bitterness. He felt a sense of camaraderie with these anonymous strangers, bonding over their shared experiences of rejection and loneliness.

But as much as he wanted to connect with others, he found himself constantly pushing people away. He was consumed by his own self-pity and resentment, unable to form meaningful relationships with anyone. He was an incel, a term he embraced with a sense of pride, even as it pushed him further into the shadows of society.

One day, he snapped. He walked the streets, seething with anger, feeling a sense of powerlessness that he couldn't escape. He saw the couples walking hand-in-hand, the groups of friends laughing and chatting, and he felt a deep sense of jealousy and resentment. He was filled with a desire for revenge, a need to make those who had rejected him pay for their cruelty.

In a moment of rage, he acted out, lashing out at the world that had rejected him. The consequences of his actions were swift and severe, sending shockwaves through the community and leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

In the aftermath of his outburst, the man was left with nothing but the emptiness of his own loneliness. He was consumed by regret, filled with a sense of hopelessness and despair. He realized too late that his anger and frustration had consumed him, that he had allowed himself to be defined by the hate and bitterness that had driven him to this point.

As he sat in his cell, he realized that he would be forever remembered as an incel, his name synonymous with violence and hate. And in that moment, he understood the true meaning of solitude, of being truly and completely alone in a world that had never truly accepted him.

What do I need to read before starting with marxism? I know a lot of people say to read hegel, but what parts of hegel? I've read his lectures on fine art already, what else?

So is Jung though

In no specific order, here are some of my favourites;

Iliaden & Odysséen (Iliad & Odyssey) - Homeros, translation by Erland Lagerlöf
Ständernas Svall (Return to Ithaca) - Eyvind Johnson
Moby-Dick (Moby-Dick) - Herman Melville
Krig och Fred (War and Peace) - Leo Tolstoy, translation by Hjalmar Dahl
Doktor Glas (Doctor Glas) - Hjalmar Söderberg
Bergtagen & Doktor Faustus (The Magic Mountain & Doctor Faustus) - Thomas Mann, translation by Ulrika Wallenström
Aniara - Harry Martinson

Curious if any anglophones have read anything by Söderberg or Johnson on this board; if not, I recommend it, they are fantastic authors both. There are obviously more books I revere, but these were the ones that popped into my mind.

You should do both of those things, and try to have intercourse.

Is there any good literature that deals with the origins, effects, and future of our mass cumbrain culture here in the West?

>Imminent collapse.
These events are black swans; the more likely prediction is that people will stupify to a degree unsustainable regarding the living standards and technological innovation of the western world.

Gen z is roughly as stupid as the boomers, with neuroses and pathologies constituting the majority of the behavioral map.

Any normal man can become a youtube influencer and control millions of individuals. Some will become influencers, the rest will be sheep.

Faggors.

I have just 16 minutes ago discovered that my apprehension in the face of delving into philosophy is due to my inability to link my fear of the unknown, with the fact that an unread book is in and of itself an archetypal representation of the unknown.

And now my fears have dissipated?

>>Recall the lowest point in the dialogue of Game of Thrones when Daenerys tells Jon that if he cannot love her as a queen then fear should reign – the embarrassing, vulgar motif of a sexually unsatisfied woman who explodes into destructive fury.
Have sex.

I'm going to write a fantasy trilogy (with two spinoffs) based on Elizabethan drama and the North Sea in this order. I plan to interconnect the 3 plots.

- King Lear (England)
- Hamlet (Denmark)
- The Duchess of Malfi (Wales)
- The White Devil (Ireland)
