Dr. Ernst Schertel obviously

If you are asking you aren't sigma

>>20417283
This. Although it is a dork ass concept, a real "sigma male" should read whatever resonates with him, independent of others' opinions. I believe the distinction between "sigma" and "alpha" is supposed to be independence from social conformity. You're probably more of a sugma male. Sugma balls

>>20417295
It’s a meme you dip

The greatest form of cultural appropriation is the appropriation of the enemies caricatures of you.
See: the word "nigger", the term "tankie".

More recommendations but with W this time

>What books do Sigma Males read?
You'll want to read literature that combines individualist and elitist strains of thought.

There's Max Stirner's The Ego and Its Own, Friedrich Nietzche's books, Might is Right by the pseudonymous Ragnar Redbeard, Anthony Ludovici's books like A Defence of Aristocracy and Man: An Indictment, Ayn Rand's Objectivist literature such as Anthem, LaVeyan Satanist material (particularly The Satanic Scriptures, a collection of essays by the Church's heir Peter H. Gilmore).

The idea of the sigma male is not only to *go* your own way, but to *make* your own way---to have an impact despite not investing in the human resources as would conventional alpha men. Independence in society is one matter, but rising above society through independence is a whole 'nother.

So the sort of books you'll want to read are ones that cultivate an attitude of success through self-reliance, and of course map out pathways to success via the same.

I like the form but it's a little too tight and I dislike how the front looks. I prefer a more classic style honestly.

>>20418807
Tight suit silhouettes are for ectomorphs.

>>20418621
Whitman, Walser, Wittgenstein, etc.

>>20418754
Dear anon,
Please find above.

Best regards,

There's no such thing as sigmas. It's cope by betas who watched Drive and think that introverted loners are cool and mysterious.

>>20418920
>>20418926
I'm already familiar with those. Not all that fond of poetry. Let's try D this time or alternatively authors similar to Robert Walser.

sigmacore lit: Li He, Webster, Vishakhadatta
sigmacore art: Fuseli, Caravaggio, Durer
sigmacore music: Bach, Lully, Stravinsky

>>20418950
Dostoykevesky, Drain Gang, Dylan, Dr. Dre, Dazai, Domunt, Donnie Darko etc

>>20418950

They read Stirner and de Sade and no one else.

Guys, you do realize that Patrick is not really a Sigma, right?

gesundheit

>>20417115
I'm reading forgotten books of the 18th and 19th century. Whenever I make a thread about one of them on /lit/ no one has ever read them or even heard about them.
Being a sigma is more of a curse, really.

>>20417115
As I sigma I read nonfiction authors including Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Ludovici, and Evola. In terms of fiction I gravitate to books with sigma characters like Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

>>20417115
Charts are so fucking beta

>>20418729
Yes, and? Just like Liberty Prime, Tyler Durden or the guy from Taxi Driver, we’ll appropriate badasses even if they were heckin critiques.

Exclusively medieval philosophy. Not history, a trve Sigma doesn’t even know what centuries are classified as ‘medieval’.

>>20420528
>a true sigma is willfully ignorant of basic high school - level knowledge
classic 4chan cope

>>20418632
Not him, but Thomas Hardy’s works are full of those and he’s great. I like how he tortured Tess.

the irony-sincerity cycle is getting pretty tiring.

>>20420522
And Starship Troopers

They exclusively read F Gardner books.

Klopstock, Schnabel, Godin

If my shoulders were that narrow I'd probably neck myself. Someone like that would be better off reading a barbell.
>>20417115
Read Origins and Doctrines of Fascism and Mein Kampf.

Whatever the fuck the Muse suggests You have natural curiosity, but do you listen to its suggestions?

Good looking enough that people are nice to you when you interact with them, but autistic enough that you rarely do.

>>20418778
Good and relevant recs here

Holy shit... Unironically me. The grass ain't greener, fellas.
:(

>>20423495
Depends on how you define friends. You aren't a sigma if you have no close contacts you can rely on.

>idiots on lit don't even know what a sigma is
Meanwhile I knew what it was years before it became a meme.

I'm a sigma male.

>>20417115
the parts in Crime and Punishment where Svidrigailov just rambles on and on
>>20423194
being a dork who cares for obscure authors =/= Sigma
>>20420528
see above, also imagine trying to read medieval political philosophy (Giles of Rome, Otto of Freising, Dante Alighieri) while not knowing who the Waiblingers are. Though if we're talking purely on an intellectual level, it can actually be kinda Sigma if you also larp as a Medieval Christian

>>20426427
If the sigma doesn't care, no one would care.

i have a hard time believing all members of our culture are collectively operating on a level of irony that is this far separated from reality. our brains surely aren't used to this kind of thinking
