>They wandered the borderland for weeks seeking some sign of the Apache. Deployed upon that plain they moved in a constant elision, ordained agents of the actual dividing out the world which they encountered and leaving what had been and what would never be alike extinguished on the ground behind them. Spectre horsemen, pale with dust, anonymous in the crenellated heat. Above all else they appeared wholly at venture, primal, provisional, devoid of order. Like beings provoked out of the absolute rock and set nameless and at no remove from their own loomings to wander ravenous and doomed and mute as gorgons shambling the brutal wastes of Gondwanaland in a time before nomenclature was and each was all.

Why are Americans like this? I have never heard any European respond to criticism of a national leader with "the opponent lost, get over it". Was people like this with Obama too?
>Obama is doing x thing which I think is undesirable

How do I get that 'woah' moment again? You know, that moment when you keep doing researches to satisfy your brain because learning makes your brain feel good, sort of like an orgasm. That's one of the best feelings in the world...

How do I get that 'woah' feeling again? You know, that feeling when you find something interesting and you keep doing research about it because learning makes your brain feel good, sort of like an orgasm. I've had it many times but somehow I can't manage to have it again.

How do I train my brain to think deeply more often? I feel like that after communicating with dumb people I tend to not able to think about the world anymore and become more acceptance with stupid trends these days. What gives?

I'm interested in philosophy but suck at literature. What to do?

Fucking brilliant. Ignored today because of his association with what today is called christianity (McJesus)
Also his life is probably the most depressing out of all philosophers.
