Right now I'm reading The Phoenix Program
Its pretty graphic
But also insightful

Its interesting how easily people just casually discuss their involvement in industrialised butchery with only the barest efforts at mitigation

And I can see how a lot of its procedures have been revived in the Drone War and JSOC raids

Do you guys read several books at once or rapidly finish through one book at a time?
Like in the morning I read some presocratics and then mix it up with some natural sciences book and if I have nothing to do at night I'll
casually flip through some deep literature for some of the most abstract sort of dreams.

I've been doing this for months but I'm slowly getting convinced that that's not really how one into books.

I cant read anymore. Depression and online media have left with little attention spam. The only time i feel fullfilled is after sex, but the oy time i have sex is with escorts, but the only time i see escorts is when i have some extra money and the only time i have extra money is one or two times a year. Essentially i wanna feel the love of a women but im too much of a coward to do anything about it.

Now, if one person convincingly demonstrates that it is impossible to reach the antipodes by this direct route,
who will want to continue to work on in the old depths, unless there was a possibility in the meantime that he
would be happy finding some valuable rock or discovering some natural law? For that reason, Lessing, the
most noble theoretical man, dared to state that for him the search for the truth counted for more than truth
itself. That statement unmasks the fundamental secret of scientific knowledge, to the astonishment, even the
anger, of scientists. Now, of course, alongside this single recognition, excessively truthful and brave, stands a
profound but delusive image, which first came into the world in the person of Socrates, that unshakeable faith
that thinking, guided by the idea of causality, might reach into the deepest abyss of being, and that thinking is
capable of, not just understanding being, but even correcting it. This lofty metaphysical delusion is inherent in
scientific research and leads it over and over again to its limits, at which point it must turn itself into art,
something which is really predictable in this mechanical process.
With the torch of this idea, let's look at Socrates. To us he appears as the first person who was capable not
only of living under the guidance of this scientific instinct, but also of dying under it (something much more
difficult). Therefore the picture of the dying Socrates as a man raised above fear of death by knowledge and
reason is the emblazoned shield hanging over the entranceway to scientific research, reminding every
individual of his purpose, namely, to make existence intelligible and thus apparently justified. Of course,
when reasoning cannot succeed in this endeavour, myth must finally serve, something which I have just noted
as the necessary consequence, indeed, even the purpose of, science.

Or you could have said that neetchy wouldn't like socrates because the latter pursues an ideal of virtue that is inherently present and the same in the souls of all men, while the former believes that virtue is individual and relies on one's autonomy from a standard moral principle. Thus, neetchy's ideology contrasts socrates.
