There is a chart for it.

Any solid recommendations for aphoristic literature that haven't been mentioned in this chart, or are even worth reinforcing? I'm hoping for something with a more philosophical premise rather than religious, but religious isn't completely off the table.

And that knowledge taken with you everywhere is a secret worldmaking that destroys the perspectives of the powerful, the ideologues, the marketers, the family, the oppressors who channel your creativity towards their ends rather than what end you cannot help but arrive at. Fuck audiences, fuck markets, fuck reason. I am the world coming to subsume you all. I choose how the fates get bound and raped.

>One night in long bygone times, man awoke and saw himself. He saw that he was naked under cosmos, homeless in his own body. All things dissolved before his testing thought, wonder above wonder, horror above horror unfolded in his mind. Then woman too awoke and said it was time to go and slay. And he fetched his bow and arrow, a fruit of the marriage of spirit and hand, and went outside beneath the stars. But as the beasts arrived at their waterholes where he expected them of habit, he felt no more the tiger’s bound in his blood, but a great psalm about the brotherhood of suffering between everything alive. That day he did not return with prey, and when they found him by the next new moon, he was sitting dead by the waterhole.
