Tech corporations take data from a billion people to create models to better control them.

Write your own book by taking data from users here. See what they respond too and why. Analyse the data and apply it to control them.

4chan is mostly composed of isolated western english speaking white males with nothing to lose and no goals... this is the most powerful group (jews aside) that you could hope for. Harnessing them you can definitely change society. Whether it's for the better is up to you.

Nope. It's just that communism means terrorism since there were terrorist in my country claiming to be communist, so communism is frowned up.
If I said I was a communist I couldn't change anything. How can I have a good political career and actually do something if people call me terrorist?
The communist party of my country does nothing but discussing all day about revisionism while people give a fuck about that.

I was walking down the beach today and here are some of my basic, pothead philosopher observations that every 14 year old has had:

Why is it indecent for girls to show their nipples in public but okay for guys to show their nipples?

Why do people hug and kiss?

How does something become fashionable?

Why do children play?

My question is: Who are some writers who deal with questions like this in an interesting way?

>in high school
>find lots of worksheets from some dude named john and a poem in the textbook under the desk titled "punk rock love"
>searching for sweet honeys in the aol member directory
>find a girl whose has punk rock love as her name on her profile
>"sup girl did you write this poem that i found"
>"omg yeah that's so weird"
>talk to her for about a month
>walking by the tv and news report about a girl being ran over in a movie theater parking by a jealous girlfriend
>it's her
>she never logs onto aol again
>john's girlfriend killed punk rock love for talking to john

So I've just embarked upon reading Robert Tressell's The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and I must say, so far I am in love with book. I love the message and Tressell's succinct observations and critique of early 20th century British society, as well as his easily accessible writing style.

What are other people's opinion?
