no way man, you have a time frame? I've been waiting for the fall of capitalism forever

Your rebuttal isn't even addressing the argument raised by the initial quote. How can it be a mistake if it isn't judged by the same rules as "correct" English? You're so retarded, I'm not sure if this is leftest psy-ops or a good old-fashioned troll.

I'm thinking of doing a small piece on how people use it as a means of distraction from internal issues. This is of course a pessimistic outlook, I welcome both sides of the coin as tech obviously does some pretty great things for us. However, there is a large usage of tech in our world that is harmful and meaningless. What are some books/articles that take a look into the nature and implications of tech in our lives?

You know I haven't seen this opinion (and i'm sure its popular in a lot of places) but I think Plato really taught me how to creatively think about the world. Whenever I am considering an idea to write I find that I am deconstructing with the method that Plato taught me. However, I think most of his ideas are based on nonconcrete things and really shouldn't be taken too seriously. But, when I finally GOT Plato I really felt that the whole world looked like a different place. I began to see things not for what they were, but for what they were composed of. I began to look (indeed, I loved to challenge myself) for that essential essence and form that I was capable of finding in all things. It really influenced the way I organized my thinking for a good amount of time, and had I not discovered Nietzsche I may have ended up a religious given my obsession with his perfect state and such.

We read Love in LA in my English class and all my professor could say was how it spoke to a "post me-too era"

>A voracious reader.

>"Hey anon I heard you like philosophy! Can you explain (complex philosophical concept) for me?"
>*Tries to explain it to the best of my ability for the person to understand without sacrificing the general meaning*
>"Wow anon, you don't need to use all of those words just to prove you're smarter than everyone else. That's so pretentious."
This shit sets me off, I haven't picked up my readings in four days because It's just so tiresome spending hours reading giant books of complex ideas just to have normies and wikiphilosophers slap "pretentious" on anything they are too lazy to understand.

what are some good free books on kindle
