"How to Read a Book"

[Anonymous No.16094757]

>>16094698
i read the first volume a month back, does volume 2 lay out the entirety of his weltanschauung as well as methods of seizing control from a corrupt state?
if not, i'd rather read gottfried feder's economic theory and stick to sorel's myth of violence.

>>16094712
thank you, I like evola, traditionalism, and perennial philosophy but I never found elements in it that can be used to create a tangible movement.
>>16094716
i put it down after 50 pages because it was telling me to do what I already practice.
it is sad that the majority of people (at least americans according to the book) cannot read above the 8th grade level.

The problem isn't that you have ideals, it's that you do not know how to get what you want out of the world. Either seek power (in the strict sense of the word), or turn bitter

The first 50 pages don't go beyond "inspectional reading". If you're beyond that level, any value you would squeeze from the book would be from later chapters. Should have jumped to something relevant. Not to insinuate you're not a master reader, with a huge pee pee.

I've toyed with the idea of seizing power and discussed it with a friend, who then accused me of having a powerlust and that any attempt of seizing power would be futile. In the best case scenario I would end up dead for trying to interfere with the banking cabal, and in the worst case miserable and isolated from the crowd.
>>16094788
You're correct, I probably should not have put it down so prematurely but I choose what to read in the order of what I can understand and reap the most practical benefit from. I suppose this book can do a lot of that.
I will take a second look, I'm sure this book proved useful to those who can read at a far more advanced level than I.

Get a job and keep dreaming, much of your discontent is yourself, but things could be much better. Remember as he says, to understand the present condition or state of decline of things, one thing which we must do first is to "Know thyself". Understand what led to this, understand why you are discontented with it, and why you wish to act. It is not so simple a thing, as many marxists mistake, as "the system which is to blame for everything". But one must take that onboard of this ship, and figure the rest out, looking to the stars, how to navigate. It is not the only thing to know, and likely the least important.

Not him, but to yourself, to your family, to your community. And to the system at large which, though this is a less affirmative argument, you still belong to and which is still comprised of your people.

I believe if you're brought into this world, the people who did so should provide for you until your death. It's their responsibility.

I also believe you have to approach reality as is, which means those people won't and can't provide for you so you'll have to do it yourself. And for you to not bring someone into this world unless you can ensure they are taken care of until their death.

Death is guaranteed, it's going to happen no matter what you do. So there's a bit of freedom there to really go out without a care and do what you can to change the system.

You're falling from a plane. You can either just curl up and wait for the impact, or do some sweet flips and see how far you can glide before the impact.
