I can refute some one AND call them a grass eating dunderhead. It's an act of mercy so the retard can go "Ah, more add homonine."

Get your head out of your ass. The books prose is terribly repetitive—one can build on a point without expounding, at the same length, what has been previously said about that point. Not much would be lost had Adler been briefer or more focused: Every chapter or so he reminds the reader that prior steps are encompassed in the next—if you think the omission of such repetition would result in a great loss, you're what he would call a reader who is too ready agree with an author without understand why. You can lead a donkey to water but trusting him to not drown in it is another problem indeed. A reduction in the subject matter and a reduction in the words used to cover it are different—not that a bloated corpse like yourself would know, for you hold the work as so sacrosanct you engulfed yourself in it until it obscures your perspective.

pleb. The pleasures of life come from actions of spite and actions that sate the ego. Who cares about stupid shit like a "consumer society"? As long as one's own consciousness exists, pleasure can be derived from all manner of things; achieving one's goals and filling your heart with conventional aspirations is for niggers and fiends; true pleasure is that of the ego: securing one's self above others no matter the level—I do it even in this post—is an easy way, self loathing is another, conflict and harm against yourself or other actors, ect. Perhaps you lack the intellect to comprehend something so human but one can achieve a life time's worth of pleasure from pushing someone down some stairs and then throwing themselves down after them. Unless society removes stairs and pain, this will always be available to you.
