So Carl Schmitt defines the political in the dialectical Terms of Friend - Enemy. The political struggle manifests itself through the existential struggle and the relationship to death itself.

Leo Strauss calls him a dirty liberal and tries to describe the Manifestation of the political through the performative act of expressing the "good" - "bad".

If Strauss is so redpilled to understand that liberal thought is engrained in Schmitts thought, how could he miss the fact that the political itself can not be understood by humans and the friend - enemy distinction itself is the manifestation of the political Noumena?

Behold! a man!

>You won't get much historical context from a survey like this which is focused around /actually looking at art and thinking about it for yourself/. Rather, the intention of my suggestion is for you to think harder about whatever art it is that you like, exactly, and branch into related artists and then start to get your own ideas about what books to look up, what artists interest you, which ones you don't like, etc.
Great advice mate. I actually have started going to museums and thinking about why i like the things that i see. Iwanted recommendations so that i have at least some general historical knowledge of art and the movements so that there is at least some background canvas based on which i can start building my knowledge by individually researching my favorite artists by looking up contexts and what i thought about their art.


>/Why/ do you like modern art?
See it would be easier for me to answer that if i knew precisely WHAT modern art is and how it is defined be people who use the term. I saw a few paintings at a museum and thought they were visually interesting and appealing to me and later found out that they were categorized as modern art. I think a clearer grasp of the taxonomy in art and the definition of the terms used in it would be helpful to me as it would give me a vocabulary to use and method of expression which i can use to convey clearly what i like about somethin.

Well I am. I'm not delusional. But whatever, you just seem to want that it's different and you want to insult my because I draw conclusions from biological principles. Okay, whatever

It's not clear how the actions that lead to 2. differ from the actions that lead to 1.
For 1., it seems, you just take more action ("massive action"...) and also drop the girls faster.

If you get a girl in bed quickly, and if you're a good person to be around, they also develop into fuck buddies.

I can see it everywhere, and especially the part about a mans burden of performance, and the ridiculous imbalance in dating options for plain Jane vs. that of some guy.

I find that I enjoy a lot of misogynistic texts and redpill rhetoric. Yet at the same time I have no bad feelings towards any girl or women when I interact with her. It's hard not to agree with biological reasoning and its shows why people would act selfish (cunt-ish). But this exactly sort of relieves me from hating on anyone.
I conclude that I just enjoy reading about "the others" and how life's unfair - but this all merely makes me more protective, not mean towards chicks irl.

Consider this: There are decades of porn freely available on the web. There is an infinite supply of 16 year old girls posting videos of themselves getting a facial. Here's hot randoms using their phone in clothing stores.

Why be a magazine and compete with 25 poses, 2D mind you, of of 23 year old models, for X dollars. That's not better than a collection of "the hottest instagram pics of the week".

I read Playboy said they made their webside nude-free months ago and got more visits. So it is the right move.

Already added many of his works to my list, philosophy in the bedroom sounds interesting among most of his other work.

Wasn't sure if I should post /a/s version of the pic but you guys probably want the original.
