happened to me too

>Langan was offered two full scholarships, one to Reed College in Oregon and the other to the University of Chicago. He chose the former, which he later called "a big mistake". He had a "real case of culture shock" in the unfamiliar urban setting. He lost his scholarship after his mother did not send in the necessary financial information. Langan returned to Bozeman and worked as a forest service firefighter for 18 months before enrolling at Montana State University–Bozeman.[7]:93 Faced with financial and transportation problems, and believing that he could teach his professors more than they could teach him, he dropped out.[3] He took a string of labor-intensive jobs for some time, and by his mid-40s had been a construction worker, cowboy, Forest Service Ranger, farmhand, and, for over twenty years, a bouncer on Long Island.[3]

Seems interesting, let's hear more...

>Langan has developed an idea he calls the "Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe" (CTMU)[3][6][8] which he maintains "explains the connection between mind and reality, therefore the presence of cognition and universe in the same phrase" ... contending that with CTMU he "can prove the existence of God, the soul and an afterlife, using mathematics."[1][4] Even so, Langan does not belong to any religious denomination, explaining that he "can't afford to let logical approach to theology be prejudiced by religious dogma".[9]

Uh okay, what else?

>Langan's support of conspiracy theories, including the 9/11 Truther movement (Langan has claimed that the George W. Bush administration staged the 9/11 attacks in order to distract the public from learning about the CTMU) and the white genocide conspiracy theory, as well as his opposition to interracial relationships, have contributed to his gaining a following among members of the alt-right and others on the far right.

Seems like a typical internet 'researcher'.

This list seems like committee approved for what people expect him to read. It's so bland, unoffensive and expected of a (black) American president.

Im pretty sure his real list would be something like this:
>Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov (actually good book but the pedo themes would get him flak)
>Milestones by Qutb
>SIEGE by James Mason
>The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times by Rene Guenon
>The Kama Sutra
>Ulysses by James Joyce

>he reads chapter books

How do moral realists argue against moral disagreements?

>it's another cApItaLism Bad episode

>author uses excessive profanity as if that's a substitute for humor

that's pretty based.

what i just can't get over is how this guy claims he used to read 1000 pages an hour

that's 16 pages a minute. think about that.

>Antifa is anyone who fights against fascism, it's not an ideology. D-Day was a great antifa attack
>Churchill wasnt antifa though, he was racist.

I read this book. Reading it made me go from disagreeing with communism, to hating it and hating everybody that calls themselves a communist.

You'd have to have lived the most sheltered, privileged, suburban White middle class life to think this theory has any basis in reality. Yeah bro, we're all good people and we're gonna get along like one big family right? LMAO look around you you fucking pussy, do you see all that hate and conflict? AT EVERY LEVEL OF SOCIETY - people can't even get along at work and they think we're gonna function as a nation, working collectively, forgoing competition, and abandoning material goal.

>Feminists who get a mental meltdown when someone compliments them also complain about fragile masculinity
I get the hunch that this is all just projection, lads

>commies and nazis ITT arguing about USSR vs Nazi Germany when both are dead
>rather than focusing on the battles that matter (as in, those in the future), they just ruminate endlessly over the past
Why not jack off over whether Tiger tanks or Shermans were better. Not that it matters, because no future war will be fought with either of those, it's completely fruitless.
