Why a .pdf?

Why do I find men's description of their attraction to other young men far more captivating than any description of a woman's beauty or loveliness? In Proust's descriptions of Albertine, I didn't feel all that much, but in Yourcenar's Hadrian's descriptions of Antinous, my heart was racing. I'm not even a homosexual.

>Develop the power of empiricism due to the blessing of the greeks
>Use that power to become more powerful and spread it's way of thinking through the world
>Is altruistic enough to share that power
>Learn from it's own mistakes-again trough empiricism and philosophy- and starts caring for minorities.
>Your way of doing things creates objective higher quality of live
>Manages to be wrong in any way.

Might is right Tbh, and that will continue to be true for civs that harness the power of empiricism when the west ultimately stops being the dominant civ.

Fuck I've been trying to remember the title of Wolf Brother for ages. I can't say I particularly enjoyed it but it's definitely stuck with me far more than most of the YA shit I read when I was younger

You know what to do OP.

So, what is the first thing you remember or have recorded that you wrote with the intention of making something good as in, not only spewing words for some school project due in 15 minutes?

Is it any good?

Just be honest with her about how you feel.

If you don't have the guts for that then try to hang out 1-on-1 more with her in romantic type situations, ask her to go to the beach/nature whatever, bring some wine, complement her, be nice, etc until you end up kissing.

Honesty works too though, if they is a chance of something happening she will either say she likes you back or that she is open to exploring that with more time.

How do I become a philosopher?

And I'm not talking about reading Philosophy or starting with the greeks, I want to be one of those fat guys that talks bullshit on TV and at Universities events.

I have only read some works of Descartes, Poetics by Aristotle and some parts of Meditations
