One time I got really high on weed and epilepsy medication with two homeless women and began reading Moby Dick to them. They loved it

I read N to my idiot friend and it went over his head. They're really stupid people, so i just don't bother. Shaming idiots by being "compassionate" and sharing valuable information with them is never worth it. Let the stupid and weak be as they are always.

I don't believe in abstract forms nor do i care about people i've not had sex with, sired, or been birthed with or by. Sorry, but in-group is all that matters. My friends can fend for themselves and are more than welcome to live among me and my kin. Being strong for the sake of itself is more virtuous than weakening yourself artificially to let others suckle at your teat. They can fucking read English, if they'd like to not be niggers they can go on Khan academy or /lit/ wikia and find out exactly what they need to pull themselves from the mud. I've even given a copy of B&G to my friend who i read the passage to, and he fucking left in his shelf for 4 years and has not once commented on it other than jokingly (and dismissively) referencing how he never picked it up after reading the first page and then getting distracted. He didn't even have a critique or say its boring, just that he forgot it exists. He also has unread Dante, unread Shakespeare and unread books on history which I would have killed for before I found out about libgen, something i've also informed him of. Do you think he deserves help?

Also, do you realize that Plato even says repeatedly there are a whole race of people, the bronze souls, who are basically incapable of true Knowledge or Justice? Do you realize this is why his ideal society is a racialist monarchy with discrete tiers to society which are largley inviolable and that only the most heliotropic and providential births of rare vigorous hybrids warrant a shuffling of those stations? Please think before you reply to people, this is a board for those who enjoy reading and thinking about works they've read. Thanks anon :)
