Such a glowie meme

>>20663126
People will talk about Epstein but neglect to mention the Kabbalah worshipping Freemasons trying to turn men into porn addicts and autogynephiles and the women into nigger lovers.

harari. everything about him and his work.

>>20662221
we get it you don't like the nsa

get a job

>>20663260
Harari is such a caricature of a perverse repulsive Jew that I barely notice he is a pseud on top of that.

>>20662204
That pedophile that larped as a Muslim (I don't remember the name, wrote a lot of dumb shit about wanting to fuck boys and how RAVES were epic anarchist shit).

also schopenhaur is not pseudo-intellectual

>>20664034
Did he ever publish that? I still have that image saved.

>>20662204
My dad is a reddit user and he used to have based although incorrect opinions. Now he just regurgitates whatever is the popular opinion on r/australia or whatever and it's really upsetting because I remember when he used to post larp threads on /b/.

Wtf there’s no way a pseud would read anything by Schopenhauer other than his essay on woman.

>>20662204
Why is Archer on there? First 6 seasons were funny and based. Its kinda gone to shit and only been getting worse since he went into a coma but it was top tier tv to drink to up until maybe season 7.

It never tries to be pseud it just has wacky characters and gimmicks that went from funny to dumb in a funny way, though now its pretty much worn itself out. I've seen some Bojack and R&M Archer's nothing like them. I've rewatched it a few times while drunk and don't recognize any political messaging up until the latest seasons.

>>20664284
For the record my favorite series to drink to are
>Cobra Kai
>Archer
>Inbetweeners
>Avatar the Last Airbender
>Full Metal Panic
>My Bride is a Mermaid

>>20664306
favorite books?

>>20664312
>Flash for Freedom
>Storm of Steel
>The Iliad
>Spring Snow
I haven’t read much philosophy but I also enjoyed the couple Plato books I read.
Any recs?

>>20664331
if you’re interested in philosophy, read a new history of western philosophy by kenny. it’s by far the best place to start.

>>20664284
Thats exactly why archer is reddit. The le whacky and crude humor.

>>20664034
Vapid and meaningless. Simply riding on the coattails of contemporary shock value.

>>20664339
Not really that into philosophy, not against it I’ll probably read more eventually but it’s not what I’m focused on. If I did read more philosophy it’d probably be Aristotle to counterbalance Plato or maybe just skipping all the way to Nietzche.

Really I’m more interested in a certain kind of adventure book the sort that can’t get made today. Flashman, Storm of Steel, and even The Iliad all had some absolutely hilarious little anecdotes here and there. They’re like fun adventure stories composed of sequences of fun adventures, many of which involve drinking and a sort of exaltation of masculinity. I though Jack London’s might be up my alley I haven’t checked him out since I read Call of the Wild in grade school.

>>20664356
>whacky and crude humor is Reddit
4chan is entirely built off whacky and crude humor you utter retard

>>20662204
Ok and what does "pseudo-intellectual" mean? For these people, YOU are the pseudo-intellectual, you the salty triggered man.

Except the Epstein sweater, the Yang cap and cannabis, there is nothing "pseudo-intellectual" on your pic. You are just angry against Reddit, you don't have rational arguments. I confirm redditfags, you are the pseudo-intellectual.

Now the real question is: why does Reddit live rent-free in your head every day?

>>20664373
4chan is reddit as fuck

>>20664366
ive yet to read them yet, but the aeneid and the metamorphoses might be up your alley. which translation is this iliad?

>>20664385
Robert Fagles. Everyone says to read the Lattimore one but I read the first page of each of the Iliad translations online and Fagles was my favorite.

>>20664379
That makes you reddit

>>20664399
the different translations depend on what you want out of the text. lattimore has the most exact translation, but other translations may flow better when reading them. i know fagles translated the aeneid, so that would be worth looking into.

This is a shit thread and I demand that it be shut-down forthwith.

>>20664466

epstein was murdered glownigger stop posting this shit

>>20662204
I don't browse Reddit except the front page to see cute animal videos so I couldn't tell you if most of this is true, but Schopenhauer was a pessimist who misunderstood Hegel so yeah he seems pretty Reddit.

>>20664016
>That pedophile that larped as a Muslim
Guenon?

>>20665658
I think he means rushdie

>>20664472
I want to meet Christian Bale in real life so I can tell him about the digit gets and how his character is the primary meme for dubs and trips and whatnot. I would intentionally be super autistic about it, but also clear and concise so that I'll make sure he understands, after merely a minute or so of conversation that there are posts on each board and they all end in numbers and there are always pictures of bateman appreciating repeating digits becuase, even though it's essentially random, it's considered meme magic to get gets. He'll walk away a little perplexed, as it will be a fan interaction where I didn't ask for a selfie or anything, but he'll look a little more into it afterwards and he'll get it. Maybe he'll even make a post on 4chan and get dubs and he'll be like "I get it now"
Lol

>>20665613
>Schopenhauer was a pessimist who misunderstood Hegel
Huh? His essays on women and noise alone makes him r*ddit repellent

>>20662204

Remember that was a thing

>>20663140
>freemasons
that's a real polite way of saying jews

>>20662204
epstein didn't kill herself, it's an apparent truth for literally everyone that doesn't write for the washington post, on both sides of politics. sure, wearing a sweater proclaiming it is cringe, but if that pic is suggesting that the truth of the statement is reddit, they should kill themselves

>>20663140
that's cause epstein thing is real while the other thing is schizophrenia

>>20664034
cringe

>>20662204
This one's an essential classic for all the midwits and pseuds.

>>20665912

>>20665947
Important extracts, yes. The entire thing? Of course not.

>>20666112

>>20662204

>>20667079
Where did Hei-tan say that? I've just about finished him up and was literally just adding Being & nothingness to my purchase list.

>>20668582
it was in some interview he did or something, id have to track it down though

Anyone on /lit/ who namedrops the Bible is a guaranteed pseud, no exceptions, though it is a fine choice for normal people

>>20664034

I sat in on a PhD defense from an Italian on Schopenhauer. He's much more sophisticated than anything I've seen written here, if a bit circuitous, and not for the lazy.

>>20663140
This. They also don't mention the Molochian death cult trying to bring about an inter-spacial merge with hell.

>>20668884
Machiavelli and Aurelius have shitty followers yes but are still great reads

>>20669001
No it does not. Stoics are peak midwits

Peak midwit, apparently, is to do anything more than sit back and snigger at anybody who says they like anything. Liking anything makes you much more vulnerable to criticism, whilst staying back and masking yourself in irony means you don't have to suffer an attack on the ego.

>>20668884

No books are specifically pseud. It’s the reader who is a pseud. They will pick books that they feel make them look smart and sophisticated

>implying any of you faggots have read let alone understood based schop

>>20670490
read more comparative mythology and stop reading meme americans

>>20670519
there’s plenty of political demagogues publishing pseud crap.

>>20670555
true. read guénon (pbuh)

>>20670576
I don’t read political books so I wouldn’t know. What I’m trying to say is that a it’s the reader who is a pseud. Not a book. For example, someone who’s read hundreds of books and reads Ulysses isn’t a pseud. But the 18 year old who has a 10 book bookcase reads Ulysses is public is probably a pseud.

>>20662204
>schopenhauer
>eternal anglo
>ireland

>>20670622
To add on to my post, I think a pseud is someone who postures. They use books as an aesthetic

>>20662204
Pseuds don't read Schopenhauer, except maybe that essay on women. Also the countries are wrong. France, Germany, and Sweden are filled with pseuds. Australia hardly has any.

>>20668884
Can't really disagree with that image. Nevertheless I still like Alan Watts.

>>20668884
48 laws of power is good, considering the fac that the same principles it talks about can be found in Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, the prince and the Art of war and yet your more likely than not going to skim over those concepts in those books unless you're looking for.them specifically. That said the wanna be try hard pajeets and other youtube types who talk about it are inzufferable. If you openly about manipulation and deception and try to make out like your some big alpha male then you missed the point of the book.

>>20664034
Fucking based. Even more based because the two seething fags who also replied to the post

pretty sure he isn’t jewish? his actual name is peter lamborn wilson.

>>20673105
If he wasn’t a Jew, he sure acted like one, same with the other Wilson, Robert Anton (an even better contender for being psuedbait since he’s obscure enough that most normies don’t know about him but popular enough that people who are in counterculture run into him fairly early on)

Trips of truth, he's the ultimate pleb filter. World as Will is one of the biggest brained books written by mankind. /lit/ calls him a pseud because they only read about him on school of life youtube and read his prolegomena to feel like they've read him.

Weak bait. No one has ever read bell curve. Meditations is based. GEB deserves better. No idea who the negress is. John Oliver(?) is not relevant. Stirner is based. Chomsky is kinda midwit tier but also has some good work. Everything else is accurate I guess.
