Good afternoon, faggot. Please go back to wherever you came from and never return.

Yea, I figured I'd get this response...
Can't blame a guy for trying right? right? sigh

You asked what everyone’s favourite book was strange?

Plotinus, Plato, the Bible, heidegger, kierkegaard

>>16137683

Leave and never return. We already have enough cancer.

>>16137658
>Having a favourite book
Top cringe. The most I can say is that X(y) can say thathe boooooki licked et mos est Lesquiz & Lalange, handested from the phalange-like phanalges of Luisine Wolfson (Owhooo owhooo [howl'st])

>>16137683
I’m sorry you feel that way. Maybe 4chan isn’t for you?

I’m transparent about it because I can rationally justify it.
My favourite fiction book is Moby-Dick/The Whale, favourite non-fiction is Ethica. Now go back, faggot.

Faggot

Hello, r/books!

Come on in, I hope I can make you feel at home:

Hi, I've never really read before - except for the Harry Potter series 3 times - What book should I read?
Any books like 1984 and A Brave New World?
Greetings r/books, just read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I loved it! Any more like this?

Hope you enjoy your stay, good sir. Have an upvote!

Edit: Wow, never expected this to blow up! Thanks for the gold!

I always found the favorite book question weird

Is it supposed to capture the subjective particularity of someone, in the same way you want to find out that super genius Nietzsche's favorite book isn't some philosophical heavy hitter but short stories by Gottfried Keller? In which case what does it matter without further information, asking some anonymous random faggot doesn't provide the necessary juxtaposition to make the "actually my favourite book is Voyage to Arcturus oddly enough"

But even then the question isn't sufficiently differentiated from "what do you regard as the best or most important book" so you get a lot of people saying Plato or the Bible out of obligation even if they barely enjoy reading those

Anyway my favourite book is Mein Kampf

>>16137780
You may ridicule their shit but with all the wojack posting and based yikes cringe posting introduced by dumb fucks and zoomers, this site hasn't been in a good way for quite some time.

George Floyd was Wholesome 100, completely deserving of all that Reddit Gold, but that bastard pig had to give him the ultimate downvote... what are some books dismantling critical race theory??

>>16137820
>the ultimate downvote
Audibly laughed, do those r/etards really say things like this?

>>16137658
7/10 bait

>>16137749
Nooooo you’re meant to post the censored posturing version!! Reddit will laugh at us!

If you were to parody the typical comments from a subreddit of your choice, you'd likely find yourself in a competition with the people who post those things in earnest.

>>16137869
Post a picture for us.

>>16137811
oh i agree
reddit >> 4chan
we're reddit's retarded little brother

>>16137898
Reddit has much more productive conversations. Usernames give everyone accountability and weed out the immature incels.

>>16137863
>caring about some popularity contest where very people voted
>oh no, they don't agree with my views!
You should start getting familiarized with the downvote/upvote feature and spending some bucks on Reddit gold.

>>16137907
>>caring about some popularity contest where very people voted
case in point - this guy can't talk

>>16137906
Huh, maybe you go there instead.

>>16137928
Sadly /lit/ is my home. I have been here far longer than you have.

Ah hello fellow r/scholar! I’m afraid; rather quite; rather I am -quite- afraid (afraidus) that you have stumbled; no doubt accidentally as a fellow r/fuckinglovescience browser; to a rather sad, dark age humdrum of God fearing cavemen, sci fi scoffing at Neanderthals and; dare I say; word salad (saladua) posting tricksters. The enlightenment and its emancipating science, logic, atheism and all round epic ness never trickled (triculus) down unto such a cave (cavernus) as this; I would recommend taking your Dawkins, your 1984 and your Aurelius to a more deserving crowd: our humble home is Reddit. These people won’t appreciate it

>>16137937
EDIT: gold? Wow! This blew up!

>>16137931

Now what do you want to "talk" about, anon? Are you going to make another shallow observation?
You could leave at any time.

>>16137811
yikes!

>>16137658
good bait op, most people here are to retarded to get it even though you are laying it on thick.

also I liked Japan:An Attempt at Interpretation

Yikes my dude.

>Usernames give everyone accountability and weed out the immature incels.
Usernames quickly turn into ego trips for the poster, or "ad auctoritate" arguments. Anonymity works better because each post stands on its own merit. It's the lack of moderation that turns any place into a shithole, usernames don't do shit in that regard. People are monkeys, and adapt to the existing culture. If you see shit all over the street and no one is cleaning it, you'll assume it's fine to shit on the street.

>>16138025
yes. i also liked his work on louisiana too. its more Hearn’s writing than anything else.

Imagine using a Latin locution and getting the preposition wrong. Embarrassing.

>>16137728
>rationally justify it.
You can't

>>16137980
Hey, this isn't very nice thing to say! NGE is great animu with deep religious commentary and it explores themes like nonheteronormativity and mental problems (anxiety) very well.

>>16138084
maybe YOU can't

probably notes from underground desu

>>16138084
I can actually. Though I’ll admit that the racism is more in the form of believing one should care for ones own race even to the expense of others, I don’t believe in inherent racial superiority, which is usually a cope. The nature of life and evolution is in large part competition, in social organisms (eg humans) this competition most greatly takes the form of competition between groups, groups will have higher genetic relatedness in themselves, this encourages kin altruism that helps the survival of genes you share with other individuals aiding evolutionary success. Those other groups are less related and show reduced kin altruism, this also means that if a group (like a nation) has a variety of groups within it, those groups will compete with each other and cause instability and a lack of social cohesion. This effect is particularly exacerbated with human races because of obvious physical differences that encourages the subconscious acknowledgement of difference. Additionally, if it is the evolutionary drive of social organisms to succeed to the detriment of outsiders then we should follow that drive.

Consider the following books, kind stranger. All have strong female lead characters, which I find empowering:

No, you.

Hail satan. So if science is a slave to profit it's bad, and it's equally bad for it to be a slave to the interests of the state. I agree, but what is the other option? As of now those seem to the only two choices.
