probably pseudointellectual crap aka the stuff always posted here anyway

>this thread again
You're stunting your intellectual growth if you actively search for books that reflect your experiences as opposed to introduce you to new ones
your lack of interaction with people in your community has starved you of desire to explore a full life, instead you're looking for validation through cold and impersonal means like literature and film

Perhaps by looking at others, you will be able to define the issue and first then realize a solution.

That's unfortunately similar to my best friend. The only book he's ever recommended to me was a certain translation of Tao Te Ching. I don't remember which.

>>11810298
>>11809064
As an addendum to this: I only say unfortunate because my best friend is rather unhappy. He's a good man who works hard and unfortunately lives in a society full of people who legitimately believe not kissing their ass is tantamount to hating them. If you want some life advice, the only thing I can tell you is to start telling people how you honestly feel so you can start searching for people who are not so deeply self-interested as to be unoffended by the idea that you aren't constantly thinking about them.

I hope things go better for you. I'm sure it's lonely.

Most of those are whack, resources are not only infinite, they're infinitely generated. Nihilism is basically womanhood - hysteria about nothing.

There is a series of four essays, titled Adventures in Flatland, by a guy named Dave Cohen that are absolutely enlightening if you're willing to tackle the subject matter of human denial in the face of existential crisis.

It's probably the most heavy thing I've read this year. Highly recommend it if you want to understand why nothing will be done about climate change or any of the other garbage-fires that humanity is pouring gas on right now.

this sentence makes me confused

>>11809069
Waiting for Godot is an excellent recommendation.

>>11811515
he's saying a lot of people are so egotistical they think someone being neutral to them = being negative toward them. to avoid these people, the poster is suggesting to speak one's mind directly

>>11809064

>In order to comprehend the experience one is living in, he must, by imagination and by intellect, be lifted out of it. He must be given to see it whole; but since he can never wholly gaze upon his own life while he lives it, he gazes upon the life that, in a symbol, comprehends his own. Art presents such lives, such symbols. Memes especially, persisting as a mother of truth through countless generations and for many disparate cultures coming therefore with the approval not of a single people but all. Memes present, memes are such a symbol, shorn and unadorned, refined and true. And when one who gazes upon that meme suddenly, in dreadful recognition, cries out, “There I am! That is me!”, then the marvelous translation has occurred: He is lifted from his own self to see himself wholly.
