/lit/ - Literature

In the entire New Testament, there is only one person worth respecting: Pilate, the Roman governor.

He was a syphilistic beta incel, why should i take him seriously?

"A man resorts to dialectics only when he has no other means at hand. People know that they excite suspicion with it and that it is not very convincing. Nothing is more easily dispelled than a dialectical effect: this is proved by the experience of every gathering in which discussions are held. It can be only the last defense of those who have no other weapons."

Well, /lit/? Isn't he right? Isn't arguing a last resort for people who can't convince through humor, wit, strength, or some other far more persuasive means?

>What's the point of life?
There is no inherent point to it, but one can create there own reason to live. If living is suffering, they one should live to make the suffering of life worth while. Redeem the suffering of being. In doing so one negates all previous felt suffering.

Buddhism is the opposite of how one should live. We ought hold in and follow are passions. Its weak as shit to fear suffering, take hold of suffering and redeem it by daring to live.

>Are life's joys and pleasures worth its costs
The goal is to make the suffering of life worth while. In Fact the attempt to redeem the suffering of life its self redeems it, even if you fail. This is why Buddhism and Schopenhauer are shit.

It may not be a sure indication that someone is a communist, but when you consider it at the deepest level, it's proof someone is a decadent.

Hello /lit/,

I figured this would be the best place to get recommendations for philosophy books. I took a philosophy class about a year ago and the subjects that resonated with me the most were Nietzsche, Existentialism, Kant, and Buddhism. What are some good books to start with, fiction or non fiction, that are related to these schools of philosophy? I just want to become an ubermench. Also if you have any life changing/eye opening videos I'd appreciate those too.
