He’s my favorite author by a long shot, so I’d say yes. Absolutely brilliant, nearly everything he writes really hits on those relatable little moments of everyday that are so difficult to put into words while still staying fresh and intriguing.

Girls don't read because women are theoretical spirit-nullifying golems devised by ethereal freespace aliens to destroy humanity's potential for transcendence. Every sentient species in the Prime universe has a vitalist life-affirmation drive that points toward ascension as its entelechy, which means that, eventually, vital forces will surmount mere physicality and break through into higher realms, with unknown consequences for the eternal silence of those spheres, which are maintained by the steady, low-level thrumming of bounded and base intelligences. Creatures that feed and thrive on that silence want to maintain their habitus at all costs, so they send tendrils of noetical shit into our reality and subtly pollute the fourth aitia or telos of every species as soon as its inner light is visible from beyond. For humans, it is as natural to develop our Consciousness into Spirit as it is for other animals to follow their own instincts. The primary instinct of our umwelt is self-transcendence and self-perfection, so we fit into boundlessness as well as a dolphin fits into its own bounded quiddity of swimming and eating fish. The only way to stop this is to introduce detours and channels that disperse our potential. It's painful for the aliens to be in our reality, so they spend very long times devising the most economical investments of their ability to influence Prime space in order to achieve maximum results. They are more attuned to the pure Pythagorean substructural "morphe" than to graven "hyle," so their knowledge of how to follow variable "trees" of chaos is much greater than ours, who have the reverse tendency. In our case, they reached into the molecular structure of our genetic code, probably around the time we developed abstract thought, and rearranged the female genotype to make sure that any given woman's pure soul has an obstruction. They economically coopted existing structures and features, like fatty deposits, pleasure, and romantic love, and elegantly deformed them in just such a way as to cause a resonance cascade. On the individual level, instead of being born (as men) with pure souls, women are now born with a soul that has a big piece of meat stapled to it. Through an entropic transmission that is an insult to the inner purpose of all Prime life, women become Meat rather than Soul. They speak as Meat, live as Meat, think as Meat. Their animal instincts, subsumed into an enspirited Consciousness in the male human, become the locus of their transcendental apperception. On the social level, this creates an inescapable eddy which drags men into its centre of gravity. As animals, as Meat, women naturally tend toward communal instincts, and the atomised and rarefied individual men are dragged one by one into the orbit of Pussy. The spiritual system of humanity flattens out and deforms, its peaks and leaps become more and more uniform, it distends and denatures into waves and fluid dynamics rather than a sparking flame.

>SO JUNG HAD THIS GREAT IDEA if every person ate their own shit -now here's the bloody thing about eating your own bloody shit IT'S CHAOS and that's bloody terrifying and that.. is the belly of the beast.. The consumption of one's own feces is representative of the cannibalistic chaos of post-modernism so then what do you do when you're face to face with this terrifying shit eating dragon? lobsters are well known autophagyists and we're like 90% lobster DNA so you know that really tells you something and that's the bloody thing about Sam Harris, that he has better hair than I do it.. it.. well depends first on what you mean by lobster it's like what solzhenitsyn always said “now Sam Harris is a jew, and they're cold blooded too just like lobsters” you see.. thats what Hitler got right, he wasn't crazy it also totaly depends on what you mean by crazy Not washing your penis? Now thats crazy. I have thought about this quandary for a long time, particularly in regards to Jung; for thirty years I've been ruminating on the best way to wash your penis and I haven't thought about anything else AND THE 20TH CENTURY TAUGHT US THAT LESSON PRETTY BLOODY WELL If you wanna conquer your shadow; really grind your heel into the bloody groin of the bitch. Clean your penis and respect the Chaos Lobster. It's in the book of Genesis. There's postmodernism to fight; and ya bloody better accept it. the jews are older than trees, man! like, god, it's so sad! It reminds me of Pinocchio *sniff* a-and how he just wanted t-*wheeze*to be a boy well that's just the bloody thing! So when we really get to explore these ideas we realize really... we arent the ones cleaning the penis... IT CLEANS US! AND THAT's the BLOODY THING, it's like, you don't KNOW anything for CERTAIN - DO YOU? Whaat do you think you are smarter than Socrates? It's like, YOU ARE NOT SMARTER THAN SOCRATES AND YOU DO NOT KNOW EVERYTHING, you might not even know ANYTHING. But people act like they know things all the time, and that's totalitarianism. It's like, wash your penis, read the Bible, YOU ARE NOT SMARTER THAN THE BIBLE, ok? So POSTCULTURAL NEOMODERNIST MARXISM IS KILLING US ALLL, we wuz lobstaz an shieeet CLEAN YOUR FUCKING ROOM AND THATS THE BLOODY THING RIGHT? YOU MUST SAVE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS FROM CHAOS LIKE PINNOCHIO SAVED HIS FATHER FROM THE DEEPS. GEPETTO IS IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST AND THAT IS NOT A PLACE YOU WANT TO BE. SO WHEN YOU FINALLY TRIUMPH AND SLAY THE DRAGON OF CHAOS THEN YOU ASK YOURSELF “WELL WHAT NOW” AND ITS LIKE RIGHT TAHTS A BLOODY GOOD QUESTION. BUT YOU MUST NOT GIVE IN TO THE POSTMODERNNEOMARXISTS and furthermore THAT'S THE THING ABOUT DOMINANCE HIERARCHIES, THEY'RE BLOODY ROUGH, BUT THEY'RE NECESSARY, AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CERTAIN PROCLIVITY TOWARDS DANGEROUSNESS WELL, SEE HOW FAR YOU GET WITH THAT BUCKO.

Unironically, Zero to One.
It's colored my worldview in a way that I now notice the inefficiencies a lot of old systems (traffic lights, DMV), laws/policy (e.g. stop signs are overused in the US, and yield signs are underused), and medical industry (Optometrists do not use 99.9% of their education, and really just do the monkey work of asking us 'clearer, or more blurry?'. Replacing it with a certification would cut costs dramatically).

And in general it's inspired me to see a different future than the current society we live in.

reading marx made me change my view of history and society from an ideal one to a material one but i still disagree with many of his predictions and other ideas.
he can be summarized with this picture. his methods and analysis are like the legs of the horse. deep, scientific and intelligent but his outcome is like the head of the horse. simple, naive and shortsighted.
he tells us that the material condition is the driving force of society then he tells us that the proles will revolt (even though revolt will decrease their living standards for a while) because some dude told them to.
and guess what happened, capital (with the help of liberal democracy) negated class conflict by slightly increasing the worker's subsistence (which the worker uses to buy more consumer goods further increasing the size of the market)

It's not only that.
If I have to be honest it's not really about Plato, Socrates and Aristotle . It's supposed to be a dissertation on their philosophy but it does not comply.
It covers everything from The Ecclesiastes to Ibsen going through Homer, the Presocratics, Sophocles, Plato , Aristotle, Petrarch, Leopardi, Tolstoj with hints to Nietzsche, Schopenhauer l, Beethoven and more...
He wrote that nothing of what he wrote is new, in fact it's as old as Homer or Solomon and he is right. He slaps men back to reason and does it for good.
You don't need to know much if you want to start reading him but if you want to be more prepared, maybe just read the Ecclesiastes, The Gospels, some dialogues like the Georgias and a bit of the Presocratics, Aristotle and possibly the Iliad and Odyssey.
That's it.

read the very first part of P&R, and it was pretty good; i don't think i'll be conflicted nor shocked with the relatively ''radical'' content since I've been inclined to read and meditate more upon nondualism (don't know if you're familiar with nondual metaphysics, but for what i have read so far michelstaedter could be seen as a kind of pessimistic nondualist)

>censored nip porn
If there were anything that made me doubt the artistic merit of porn has, it would be mosaic censoring. There's nothing wrong with keeping the tease in strip tease and I get that art can sometimes flourish even more strongly through restrictions and all that, but mosaic censorship? I've never seen it as a contribution. Like, wanting to see it with the panties on? Fine. But if I've got a mosaic'd video next to the regular one, I'm never going to say "aw right on, a censored version!" Maybe it's praiseworthy in the degree to which it spites authority, but if I had to communicate through a censor like that, I'd eventually give up.

There’s a lot of different things for you to get out of it anon. That’s why it has the sections with kublai and marco polo. If you have the time I think you should read Calvino’s “On Invisible Cities” where he goes more in depth about how he wrote them and why.

The irony. Plato said sodomites were abominations because they were impelled by their slavery to pleasure. The inability to control your passions, much less for the brainlet hedonistic "enjoyment" of a base pleasure, is the mark of a dog or a pig, not a man, and thus is more similar in nature to uranism (ID EST, homosexuality), than a man who, though he too would derive sensual pleasure if allowed, who would deny these sensual images for the illusions for what they are. Not just illusions but harmful distractions. It's further ironic. The people who thinks masculinity and condition of heterosexuality demand entertaining lewdness and unchastness are often the most homosexual because they become like brutes; slaves to every sexual distraction. They masturbate or have sex without any thought.

Alright kid, I don't who you are or where you live, but that is going to change. Soon. That's right, I'm going to find out where you live and I'm going to fucking KILL you. Why, you ask? Take a look at the picture you attatched to the originel post of the thread. Yeah, notice anything? It seems that you have used JEZEBELS to further aggregate attention to your thread. Big mistake, buck-o. I am going to kill you for many reasons, but the principle one will be this propensity of yours to propagate licentious behavior which is the utter buttress of our society's (and our individual souls') downfall. No no, don't bother trying to delete it, the deed is done. You were dead the moment you attached these scantily whores to your post and filled out the captcha.

You think it's easy being me? You don't know the half of it, kid. You don't know the sort of rejection I've faced. And this is my territory you;re in. I bet you thought you could just come into this board and post whatever you wanted, like /b/ or /r9k/, rite? Wrong. I and many others come here for the specific point of discussing LITERATURE. Read that word carefully, look it up if you have too. And while we were amiably pursing this noble subject of erudition, you came along and decided it was a propitious idea to put a libidinally charge representation of what I, and many others on this board, cannot attain on the front fucking page. You cretin. You sad, dead, little phallus-minded moron.

So in conclusion: prepare yourself. Post whatever jezebels you have left, with the time you have (it isn't very much time). I'm coming for you, bitch.
