b-ok.cc for when libgen is down
Surprisingly, piratebay can be decent.

>>17302271
Just use Google books and download free epubs. Gutenberg Project has great stuff, it doesn't have everything, but it has plenty of stuff to keep you occupied.

You can load epubs directly into iBooks from Safari if you have an iPhone or pay 100 bucks for a kindle (you will save money in the longterm). Most of these sites are listed on r/Piracy which has some decent information on it for reddit, look at the wiki page on it for more information.

My working class ancestors would be amazed by such a thing like this, I have more books than any wealthy aristocrat ever had in there day yet despite having infinite books I still feel empty... oh well

>>17302400
It's the curse of our species; we're never really happy. At least you acknowledge how privileged you and I are compared to our ancestors, which is a start I suppose.

Life isn't about being happy.

>>17302519
It's about minimizing pain and maximizing pleasure.

>It's about minimizing pain and maximizing pleasure.

>>17302489
based, have fun

>>17302564
unironically based, though the best way to maximize pleasure is to self improve to give you full control of the mental and physical landscapes around you

>>17302607
This. Hedonism is NOT cooming and drinking yourself to death. It's ordering your life in such a way that you can maximize pleasure without destroying yourself. That means staying physically and mentally healthy, having good relationships with others, and constantly improving yourself.

>>17302623
Well I meant more in the way that if you are ultra strong and intelligent you can more easily find obtain your desires, even if hedonistic, though perhaps if your mental state improves overall you will shed them.
