Yes anon. Being able to read puts you at an advantage above a newborn and a blind person

>>11987370
No

Guy on top of books is in a precarious situation and is sure to fall and cripple himself.

Man on the sidewalk is screaming for help

This is the best version of that picture desu.

>>11987396
Woah...

>>11987401
There’s a better one where there’s a fourh guy

>>11987401
So there’s no point to reading anything. You reach the same conclusion either way

>>11987370
reading will let you understand more of everything else. whether that's an improvement or not depends on what you read and understand

>>11987412

>>11987412
No. The guy at the first level is seeing an artificial truth, where the top guy sees what i assume must be God

>>11987676
>what i assume must be god

>>11987370
Yes. If a wall is higher than you, you can stand on books to see over it. Not suer that it would be easy to stand on circa 2 meters of books, but in theory you can do it.

As for your other question, it depends on the books and how you read them.

>>11987666
take my (you)s, you goofy whore

>>11987666
Good post Satan

>>11987370
As OP pic clearly shows, reading makes no consequences, just like watching the wall. If you want to make change you have to take an action. And reading/watching is not an action.

>>11987782
I don't think you can act on the truth.

>>11987401
Once you've read enough you realize how fucking dumb society is, that's where you keep reading and you'll reach nirvana.

don't be cypher who wants to get bluepilled again because he can't deal with reality

also read with a fucking pencil

>>11987685
?

Yes it does, indirectly, because it strengthens and provides for the possibility of the condition of general contentment

>>11987844
>sees sun
>assumes is god
So this is how three different civs made pyramids.

>>11987401
>not the one where it loops back around

>>11987837
You just can't have a sound view of society without being an atheist. It doesn't give a guarantee of an informed perspective, but it is a necessary clearing-away of trash, and an introduction to how people's minds are controlled by power structures.

>>11987969
Correct, but /lit/, and 4chan in general, is contrarian by nature and such every single accepted form of discourse has to be ridiculed and challenged and the goofier the refutations are, the more they grow.

>>11987666

>>11987969
There's literally no way of living without controlling people with power structures. Forming power structures is an innate biological instinct within all mammals. It's just more grandiose with us because of our superior brain power. There's nothing wrong with power structures. The mass of humanity must be pushed and poked into productivity.

>>11988089
>accepted form of discourse
inherent power structure, begone tyrant

Does anyone have the version of this with the illuminati and other esoteric things above the wall?

I remember thinking that the top level was very funny, but I forget what it was.

>>11987781

>>11988129
like it or not, Christ is analogous to truth.

Given how frequently good authors kill themselves I'd say reading has the opposite effect.
It's almost like the more someone thinks about life and existence, the more they want to blow their brains out.

Ignorance is bliss. And whats he seeing anyway? There's not really any significance to it in the end

>>11987370
No, but a big collection of books will help you see over walls

>>11988268
Post some examples.

>>11987370
These kind of cartoons are fucking retarded when they're not accompanied by any argument, if I edited the thing to make the damn wall only block the book guy's head, there, books are bad

Some truth. If you are just reading young adult fiction tier trash, you will still be the guy on the left. Probably even lower desu.

But if you read a wide range of non-fiction topics, and eventually recognize the patterns between them and can use learnings from one vertical to further understand a separate vertical, that is when this picture is achieved. You can become the guy on the right. Not immediately, but after many years it is possible for this picture to happen. It is known that the most successful people are very well versed or experts in multiple fields.

>>11987401

How many books do I read until I become the third guy?

According to goodreads I've read over 300 books since "getting into reading" and I'm still stuck on the second guy.

>>11987854
>What is symbolism

>>11987969
power structures have nothing to do with atheism

>>11987370
what the hell else you gonna do?

>>11989156
True, especially the part about defying the laws of physics

>>11989156

>>11987370
it'll build temples in your mind
but like the sublime and harmonious vistas of the earth, the mind's essential nature is to express truth. temples though grand and even sacred... are not the purest mind

>>11987370
But man below is getting sucked off in a gloryhole.

>>11987666
I laughed have a (you) friend

>>11987666
Fixed.

thanks /fit/

Are you serious? Waiting is perhaps the only action you can take a majority of the credit for. Inhibiting motor movements with cortical models is like the most advanced type of activity humans can accomplish, it’s just hard to see:

>>11987370
Nah, it should be a guy standing on solid ground and another guy buried under a pile of books and unable to move

>>11989183
This is the one

>>11989419
This too

>>11989878
Still, only hardwork lets the men to defy his obstacles. Better use whatever tool you've got to make the meaning for your life instead of just find the 'true' meaning of tools/walls surround you.

>>11987370
If you have a brain capable of storing and using that memory then yes.

If you have shit adhd genes like me then no, not likely.

>>11989419
>some faggot felt the need to watermark a 4chan meme so no one on twatter could steal his original the shitpost donot steal
we approach the end times

adhd is a myth bro, just do it

>>11987666
holy... i want more

>>11987370
No, using books as a platform will.

>>11987837

What do I do with it?

Good edit fho

People have been doing this for a while now, even if they didn't make the picture.

>>11987407
You are the fourth guy

I've only met one self-proclaimed egoist IRL. He tried convincing me to read Stirner—a few weeks later I fucked his girlfriend. So much for "his property" lol.

>>11989419
this isnt the original

>>11987370
Think about it this way. You could have read just as many books as the guy on the left, but could still be on the ground if you didn't 'use' them the right way.

>>11991198
This is deep

>>11993177
cool story bro

It wont "improve" it but it will make it more interesting.

>>11993177
>So much for "his property" lol.

why the hell are they standing on books?! books are meant to be read, not stood on

>>11993177
that’s not nice

>>11994468
Virgin on the left read the books. Chad on the right took his stack and used it to his advantage.

>>11994350
post it then, matey

Reading will develop your ability to focus on long-term unfoldings, draw correlations between events, ideas, and feelings, as well as increase your knowledge base to be evermore potent when performing any act in this world.

Yes. Just read the right books that suit your needs and not crap to brag to other people.
