I’m reading Pappus’ Collection, Keynes’ General Theory, Ptolemy’s Almagest, the rest of Hamilton’s Federalist Papers (I’m almost on Judiciary branch), and when I can fit it in, Proclus’ Commentary on the First Book of the Elements.

Through Proclus I get to learn how absolute bullshit Neo-Platonism was. But his insights that bridge the gap between Platonic and Aristotleian mathematics is interesting

>>11377528
And the last personal favorite is probably Aristotle’s Metaphysics

Yeah I really don't know what's keeping 25+ people around here. 4chan is all cool and stuff but only when you're in your early twenties. After sitting here for 5 years and further frequeting this place becomes a bore.

Just you wait. You'll be here into your late 30s. I said the same when I was around 17, and I'm turning 26 in two days.

>>11381340
I sincerely hope that this place won't be around in my late 30s. Just imagine the cesspool.
Leaving /lit/ and 4chan in general isn't that hard. It usually happens automatically after realization that the majority of posts here are insincere and just hot opinions coming from people who don't know shit and whiny faggots who are afraid to take responsibilities in life. And it is to be expected from the people in their early twenties, there is nothing wrong about it. Hell, I am a whiny and ignorant bitch 90% of the time. And in that regard, I do act my age.But when a person in his thirties comes here to post peterson memes and his latest stack purchases, it's kinda sad.

>>11381331
It's really good and insightful, amazing how stoic and courageous he was, give it a read. you can find it
libgen.pw

>>11381385
That's more of a problem with /lit/ than anything else, as /lit/erature generally attracts brainlets and women.
/his/ is miles above /lit/ in terms of content, and that's with the board being 30% /pol/ tier.
/lit/ has just turned into pure faggotry and spins around the same dull topics like Zizek and Land. Any attempt at a serious conversation is quickly buried under new threads of 18 yos asking about books they'll only pretend to read and that everyone else here has read a long time ago. Not to mention that the hordes of right-wingers unironically shilling Catholicism has stopped being fun ages ago.

>>11381398
I dunno, I don't come to /his/ that often. Although I'm interested in history, an average /his/ poster look like a dork too obsessed with some narrow time peroid and it's aesthetics. And that's a bad thing, as it has nothing to do with history. They look like /vg/ posters who shill their favorite videogame fandom, and the difference is that their 'lore' isn't fictional.

>>11381327
How long have you been a NEET? Did you go to uni?

>>11381073
Read a very little bit every morning, read, if you can, in your way to work and back, read a little bit on lunch break, read most after you're home and had some rest, and read some before you go to bed.
You always read anon.
Sure, you'll read less not being a filthy neet, but you'll appreciate it much more.

>>11381418
I graduated uni, did a military service, had a quick streak of low-paid jobs. Technically, I am employed now, but my job is so easy I don't have to do virtually anything and can stay at home all week. That won't last for long though.

>I dunno, I don't come to /his/ that often. Although I'm interested in history, an average /his/ poster look like a dork too obsessed with some narrow time peroid and it's aesthetics.
You just haven't been there enough. And I also don't know what you expect... most people specialize in one field or another. I know some things about the Greeks, Romans, and the USSR, but I'd be hard-pressed to tell you a single thing about the British monarchy or something like that.
Still, overall /his/ is a force for good. Lots of people have been turned from bad ideas through it. It's the very opposite of /lit/ where people are digging their own graves and having as narrow-minded a view of the world as possible.

I didn't say that being specialized is a bad thing. I'm saying that most of the time (and that is just my observation) people on /his/ tend to have very superficial knowledge about a certain culture, as the only thing they care for is pure aesthetics (in a derogative sense). They might know all the ministers in german goverment during WW2, they can distinguish mauser 98 from mauser 98k and post nazi pictures all day long, but when it comes to understanding the Nazi ideology and what really happened in germany and why during this time period — they would provide you with the most common and cliche lines from the textbooks at best, having no personal opinion or research whatsoever.

>NEET, altho that might soon change once I get my new glasses - I might be able to get a forklift permit for free and since I'll be able to see way better I figure I'll be able to pass the training and exam, and driving forklifts all day is an easy way to make good money. Anyways that's my tentative plan at this point.

Working in a grocery store is very alright once you get over yourself, if you need to, (thinking you're above dealing with these fucking animals or ever expecting them to clean up after themselves and not destroy the venue in their wake), and divest yourself from any particular involvement with the business such as ownership or accountability for horseshit. Eg/ I work in produce and people intentionally damage shit all the time and rack up our shrink bill which can be infuriating, especially you want to say something to them ("Hey can you just not throw those apples? It bruises them and then they're garbage which means higher prices for YOU") but then you realize, it's not my business, it's not my money, it's not my loss, don't let it affect me. It took me a few years to get over some things but I did, I've been there for 9 years, it's super comfy now, I make about 50k a year and get four weeks paid vacation (according to my 16,000 hours worked), a week of paid sick days per year, and such. Though it is in Canada where that 50k would not equal to as much elsewhere with stronger currencies, but locally, it allows me to pay my mortgage and bills just fine and I've saved about $15k in the last year for a car on top of buying mad other shit (over a G on books, a Switch just for Odyssey, $800 on weights/bench/rack), property taxes and house insurance (~$3500), and etc. Highly recommend to people if they don't feel they're absolutely entitled to some $120k engineering gig because their boomer parents forced them to go to college without passion or a plan of action.

I'm eager for this fat cunt to finish volume 3. He's taking too long though.

Also I would imagine it's somewhat nostalgic given its similarity to the flashback scenes.
