What's the best possible way to react to the howling suffering, injustice, randomness and pain of this world? I'm certainly not one who believes that's all there is, but it's a big enough part of life to ensure that any functional and actualized person must contend with it forthright.

So, how do you contend with it? Stoicism? Faith? Aggression? Pessimism? I am looking for books that answer this age old question in the best way. What is your way?

Build a series of practices by engaging with good art, literature, the bits of religion you find palatable, philosophy, and deep but accepting introspection.

Acquire Power by any means necessary and change the world as you see please. Nothing and I repeat nothing else matters. IF you want something, learn how to get it and just do it. You have just a limited amount of time on this earth, and you should use it.

Hegel and Lifts

Book unironically is all about Hegel and Materialism

I hate Hegel and Materialism but this info product is the best most practical thing on my shelf.

Everything I choose has these serendipitous unexpected philosophical intrusions. I can't be a crypto casino basic /biz/ bitch anymore because Cardano filtered me with a readinglist of Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Schopey, and Hume
