Are there actually any 'self improvement' books that have improved your life?

>when you realise that solitude is a cheat code to life.
i can think so much better than a more intelligent person because i simply have so much more time to muddle through everything. you dont realise just how much your thoughts are taken up by useless shit like your standing to someone else or trivialities like the weather or traffic. its like jumping up into the fast lane. gg lads, already have this one figured out.

Philosophy > History = Non-Fiction > Poetry = Fiction

This. I don't waste my time reading philosophy. I philosophize by myself

>Costanza's face is part of the definition of ">implying"
I thoroughly disagree. Constanza has fallen out of fashion in the last years and there are many new fags who have seen it being used by can't really make the association between the image and the >implying meme. I'd wager that to them, the Constanza face is just one among many images that convey the same type of smirk.

Pic related, it's as effective as any Constanza.jpg.

You seem upset my friend. Just calm down, it's only books.

What are some good books on the communist revolution in China and on communist history in China in general?

What do we even NEED philosophers for? Engineers are just the true adults of the world. Everyone else just lives in a world of things and processes that they do not understand. Kinda like dumb rabbits, oblivious and unconcerned with how the trees around them got there, just hopping along taking it all for granted. The modern world is completely shaped by scientists and (mostly) engineers. Engineering is the single most important thing that mankind can do. It elevates societies to new levels. Look at the world around you, a few university-fulls of arts students couldn't figure out, given 100 years, how to manufacture even the simplest plastic garbage that they unquestioningly pull off of their morning iced frappucinos from starbucks. You're not even worthy of making garbage. You're too dumb to figure it out. Engineers don't just create high tech technologies like the internet, cellphones, satellites, automobiles, that most people think of, but everything. Name me anything of value and I'll name you engineers who had to do the real actual intelligent work of either creating the tool or coming up with the manufacturing process to do it. Even doctors are becoming useless. They basically just use tools that engineers build (e.g. every tool or measurement device used, every process involved in the manufacturing of medicine, hell even manufacturing the little tube on their stethoscopes). They will be easily replaced by Watson Like Robots eventually. Engineers can replace all of your jobs, because they are better.

Science: facts, reason, logic, evidece
Philosophy: faith, opinion, unfalsifiable bullshit

Nihilism, strictly as a philosophy, is not anything like what you retards think it is.

There is no intrinsic purpose to anything. What does that even mean? 'Purpose' is a word used to describe what humans make use of an object or idea (or whatever). Because humans didn't make the universe, there is no intrinsic purpose to the universe or anything within it. 'Intrinsic purpose' merely implies that an outside creator made the universe with some goal in mind.

That should not be a profound conclusion at all. In fact, it's just an atheistic interpretation of the universe. Why in all fuck would so many millions of retards become depressed or psychotic over this revelation is completely fucking beyond me. There is no reason to muddy up philosophy and science with feelings--especially misplaced feelings.

can't make my logic incomplete if it's already incomplete now can you?
