It's an intoxicant so it is obviously banned for monks and lay followers. I'll paraphrase how he speaks on intoxicants

Imagine you were to happen upon a bowl of water. In the reflection you see yourself and the world as you truly are. Now imagine you were to put red or yellow dye in the bowl. The bowl is your mind and drugs are the dye. They change the hue of the world and you do not see it as it truly is. You cannot reach enlightenment without seeing the world and the debts of your consciousness as it truly it.

Real Question:
why is this book being shilled on multiple boards through out the day?
For boards where talking about the book isn't acceptable, the shiller is trying to LARP / ARG the book. Was larping earlier trying to talk about the book's plot and tribal eagle tattoos.

are there any books that discuss the consequences of conquering darwinism with modern medicine?

Normies have changed. They're not like how they were in 2019. They only talk about covid numbers and vaccine logistics. Its exhausting and demoralizing.

Recommend me books that discuss voluntary castration

just think about it... if total world population was reduced by 90-95%, so many of those utopian voluntary communes would be possible.
overpopulation is the gravest consequence of the industrial revolution that left no hope for true voluntary cooperation. with 90% of society being retarded niggers no amount of democracy and agreements will bring peace, no amount of comfy sustainable farming would suffice.

"news from nowhere" is a great novel about ancom utopia (early 20th century) but none of it would be remotely possible with real population numbers

I honestly cannot describe to you how desperate I am for a wife.

I'm 27, a virgin, and have never even had a girlfriend in my life, but more than anything else in the world, I want a wife.

/r/philosophy and /r/askphilosophy is riddled with people who've only read Marx and the prerequisites for Marx. They show up on every mildly relevant thread to break balls about the Capital

>men invent everything
>men create all civilization
>men build and maintain every physical structure
>men do all infrastructural and menial work
>men take all risks in the military (women get cushy fake jobs behind the front line)
>men create all great art in history
>men are all the "top" people in every field, every hobby, every sport and medium and vocation and skill and trade (literally try to think of one thing that isn't dominated by men)
>men do everything
>men produce 80% of the GDP (women spend 80% of it)
>men produce more tax dollars than they consume in social welfare (women per capita are a net loss in revenue/welfare)
>men even invented feminism
>men give women everything they want
>men even give women extra bonus leg-ups when they can't do things on their own (and then clap and tell them they did it all by themselves anyway)
>things are so crazy that women now sell pictures of their feet for supplemental income and the state and mainstream culture supports it
>women still can't stop fucking whining about how bad they have it

Half of humanity has been dead weight for thousands of years. Women could be unconscious seed pods you cum inside to make a baby and it would make no difference whatsoever in human history. Women could vanish tomorrow and the only difference would be that the GDP goes up and stress decreases.

Why do you think that?

Post your filter lists.

I've got a different problem, how do I stop rushing through the book I'm on to get to what I see as a more interesting one in the future?
I'm very ends focused but this is fucking me up and I get hardly anything out of reading this way

"How to Write a Modern Ending!"
>Step 1: Write a satisfying plot with a beginning, middle, and end
>Step 2: Delete the last 10% of that, so your book seemingly ends early, with no satisfying end and countless questions left unanswered

And that's it, you've done it, you've written the ending to every modern book.

Oh look, another bullshit academic paper full of strawmen, poor scholarship and misrepresentation that only half-assedly acknowledges the opposition but still pussies out at the end to reinforce the status quo without any material concessions

Proust isn't a red flag of any sort, is he?

What book can I read that will help me get my shit together?
