Fuck you it just sounds easier.

I want some easy to read philosophers

I don’t get it

Plz, can you recommend any interesting books about math/logic/statistics/etc. that can be read by an 110 IQ humanities fag? I love math but I am not good at it.

I'm not looking for a beginners book to teach me basic math or something, I guess I mean more "pop sci" type stuff but about math, but is there stuff that's a tier above pop sci but not literally text books for upper level math classes. I have looked at those and sadly they typically assume the reader is already familiar with certain terms and principles that I am not.

How do I read all day? I can only get to three hours or so before my retention goes to shit and my head starts overheating.

A hexagonal building is nominally called a five frame building. Similar to how a nominal 1/2" piece of wood, is really 3/8 or there-a-bouts.

If you mean you understand everything you could possibly understand at the moment you understand it, that's impossible because you can't understand something unless it has already come to pass. You can't understand an understanding until that understanding is understood, which can not be logically happen until something is understood (after the initial moment of understanding)
If by "finally" you mean you understand everything you could have understood after the moment of understanding, that's impossible because you can't understand something, even understanding, as it exists hic et nunc, you can only look back on it and understand it after the fact in another moment, which can't be the same thing because it is not in that moment, it will have changed, it's essence is continuous but it's existence is constantly changing. You can't cross the same river twice.

The vast majority do not like being burned so it is a fact that it is bad for that vast majority to be burned.

Your expectation of universality is unreasonable. Morality is about collective utility, not catering to every weirdo in existence. Also, it is a fact that it is bad to be burned from the stance of bodily harm (unless it's a medical procedure preventing greater harm)... So it could be argued from a biological fitness standpoint that someone who likes burning themselves is a maladaptive specimen.

I think Marcus Aurelius would agree with the first two points in a sense. But the third is stupid. I think a lot of people like to go to Eastern Philosophy now-a-days because it is easier than actually trying to work on yourself to improve. There is a certain amount of acceptance that is important, but you should always be striving to be better as well - and that's hard, really hard

Convert me to be /lit/ with 1(ONE) book recommendation.

I don't really read, I'm your typical 4channer: early 20s studying CS, like vidya and anime, handholdless virgin, weird to normies etc.
