/lit/ - Literature

"At this point the concoction took effect, and the poor squire began to erupt from both channels, and with so much force that the reed mat on which he lay, and the canvas blanket that covered him, could not be used again."

Being a male feminist is the cuckest thing that you can possibly do. Thus, why are you defending that scatological combination of words of that is susposed to be called literature? Are you a cuck? A woman? A retard?

Hey /SpGT/, how about we start a book club? It would help keep the general alive. We could just pick a book, read a certain amount of pages each day and discuss it in the thread. I say we start with Pedro Páramo or Don Quixote, but suggestions are always welcomed.

Reading, as a primary method of acquiring knowledge, goes only as far as your library goes. Contemplation and conversation can go much farther than books in some areas, especially in theoretical subjects such as logic and metaphysics. The best way to learn about the mechanisms of nature, however, is by observation.

No one cares about your "to read" books. Any retard can buy books they "intend" to read. I have 3 bookshelves full of "to read" books. Fucking read some, then we'll be impressed.

Science is work. Philosophy is scholia, otium, meaning idleness in the good ancient Greco-Roman and patrician sense.

NEETs are the modern-day descendants of patricians, who appreciate the fact that contemplation in idleness is the highest human pleasure.

In contrast, normies, the modern bourgeois and proletarian classes, are the descendants of the slaves of the ancient world. Even in their freetime they are restless, busying themselves with entertainment and other empty pursuits, because the notion of idleness in alien to their very souls. These are the ones who ask what philosophy is *for*, not understanding that it is an end in itself. It's useless to explain to them because it's not in their constitution to understand it.

>she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.
