Once you realize that the system has “contradictions”, you begin to see them everywhere you look. I mean real contradictions, to the point where it doesn’t even make sense. These contradictions are built into the very framework of society.

Even the original enlightenment philosophy that lead to our liberal democratic society today has contradictions. For example, they championed both private property rights and free speech. But now, today, we can see those two fundamental rights conflicting with each other. When corporations (private property) gain a monopoly over internet and tech, then use it to silence and censor free speech.

Such a blatant contradiction right there, and yet nobody seems to notice. These contradictions are everywhere.

books for this feel?

Wtf am I going to do ?!

Not an hourly fagpost, but on a yearly basis, what's the minimum you should expect to get through?

I reckon I read 30 - 80 pages a day depending on complexity, translation / original, how recent it is (apparently John Evelyn only read contemporary books because they are quicker to read so he covered more ground... lol) and so on.

I reckon I can get through 40 - 50 books a year. Assuming I live to life expectancy, in my early twenties that gives me around 60 years. That's 3000 books give or take. Sounds like a lot, but is only 500 a decade.

Is this enough to become well read? What does that even mean?

Wouldn't it be better to combine a full reading history with still being young and strong? Is education the best provision for old age, or would it actually be better now but noone can achieve it?

Is this just a waste of time to think about?

Should I really be reading Evola when I haven't read Plato? Should I be reading Huxley at all?

Because /pol/ has more real world influence than most of this board wants to admit.
