How does one make reading books increase your intellect rather than letting the activity just be another form of escapism?

Books that speak in favor of having a job
Since I got one, I actually do way more useful stuff instead of just rotting away Infront of a screen when I was a neet

Just you try it, bucko. Don't you know that the man could read in six (6) languages, and that he had extraordinarily high openness -- just openness completely off the charts? He was a visionary, man, he thought in images! DON'T MESS WITH JUNG, because that will get you into a VERY bad place, and that's NOT where you want to be... *breaks down crying*

Is his books actually helpful or is he just a meme?

I'm willing to give postmodern neomarxism a chance. Give me some books.

2. Clean Room.
3. Delete all anime from your computer.

>Nietzsche, Jung, Dostoyevsky

Are these influences considered too 'casual' for someone who's supposed to be one of the most important intellectuals of the century(so far)? I mean he claims to be very well-read but aside from Dostoyevsky these are all guys you read in a 1st year English course.

/sci/ here. How does this make you feel? Your discipline is literally a sham.

You're yearning for meaning and sex. Back in 2014 you were still young, relatively unjaded by the PC left and still hopeful that someday you may lose your virginity

>Sounds like you're stuck in the same divide, sunshine. Worry about your own damn eye before you attack your neighbor for the thorn in his. That's written in the New Testament and it's like, yes, that's exactly right. You can indulge your own proclivity for criticism, but it will leaving feeling empty and like a shell of a man you could have been had you only worked on yourself first, roughly speaking.

I feel like this man truly tried offering a generation of men something that they didn't have. Some meaning, something to strive toward. But he was largely treated terribly and is still being viciously attacked? What kind of signal does this send to people who followed him? To me it says they don't care about you, you aren't valuable to society, you aren't wanted.. This can only end badly if you ask me, and maybe we are already seeing that manifest. Thoughts?

Why did he have absolutely no clue what postmodernism meant?

>sucks Nietzsches dick 24/7
>becomes a Christian

Am I missing something here? Why did this happen
