Scholars, scholars everywhere

>Age 24

You probably should've read the Odyssey, the Iliad, the Aenieds, the complete works of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle, the works of at least five Church Fathers, the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, the entire Pali Canon, the Dao De Jing and Zhuangzi, the complete Summa Theologica, the Divine Comedy, the complete works of Shakespeare, Paradise Lost, Leviathan, Critique of Pure Reason, Fear and Trembling, Moby Dick, the entirety of Charles Dickens, Walden, and at least two major works each by Hegel, Schopenhauer, Marx, Stirner, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Russel, Sartre, Derrida, and Foucault.

**OR** you could stop being a massive faggot and not base your self-worth over how many philosophical ramblings of autists you've read, and only read if it's something you truly derive fulfilment out of. Your choice.

>Challenging the work of others, Locke is said to have established the method of introspection, or observing the emotions and behaviours of one’s self.[6]

Is this what modern academics genuinely believe? Is this a legitimate thought-process among the educated and the "philosophers" of modernity? Do people seriously think John Locke was the first man to ever sit down and think critically about his own emotions?

I seriously hope not, because if they do, then we are more ignorant than we realise

What the actual fuck is the point of this thread? What are you trying to accomplish OP?

I'll never understand this goddamn obsession about breaking down every minute sociohistorical detail about races or religions or whatever else nerds on the internet seem to have. And you know why? Because it's *totally fucking irrelevant.*

You want to "grasp" Buddhism, OP? Good, go and join a sangha, develop a samadhi practice and devote yourself to ceasing karma. Stop this intellectual posturing on a Nepalese interpretative dance message board and actually walk the Path.

Evola is a false prophet and an agent of the archons. Do no believe his lies.

Any concept of "metaphysical racial purity," "transcendence through war", etc. are utter fucking nonsense and have no basis in any legitimate spiritual path seeking the Divine Truth. His insidious usage of flowery spiritual terminology only makes him more detestable, not less.

Abandon egoism-disguised-as-liberation. Forsake the comforting lies of hateful oppression. You either annihilate yourself, or annihilate the world. Make the choice.
