Mostly accurate.

BAP is for terminally online losers who think real life is Conan the Barbarian, and believe they are alphas with lots of success with women. That none of them have success with women has not escaped them, so they invented the term "sigma male" as their special secret club euphemism to say that the grapes are indeed sour.

Nietzsche will depend on the rest of the shelf. If he is the only philosopher you engage with, you are 99/100 times a gargantuan faggot, and 1/100 unfathomably based. Despite what you tell yourself, you are not the 1/100.

Mishima is gay as fuck. How the fuck can you be a grown western man and be into bushido-faggotry without realizing that it is just a convoluted equivalent to wearing a fedora and practicing the katana?

48 Laws of Power is for criminals and losers, and anyone who actually needs a self-help book is already lost beyond redemption.

Meditations is a self-help book for faggots who want to seem cultured, so they like their banalities to have an extra veneer of gravitas by having them written by a historical figure (and a confirmed opium addict at that - read the records of Galen, his personal physician).

Revolt against the modern world - I have literally never met someone who was into Evola who wasn't a giant faggot, terminally online and thinks browsing /pol/ all day with a skinnyfat and disused body is somehow related to hyperborean virtue.

Influence: the psychology of persuasion - many who read books like that are not even sociopaths, but something as pathetic as a wannabe sociopaths. Red flag, clear as day.

The rest I either don't know, or are not particularly accurate, but honestly, good on the women for doing what they do best - spotting genetic trash unfit for breeding based on any kind of evidence available. Makes sense, evolution has honed them for it for eons and eons.

My reaction to their book list is: wtf? All of these books have their own merits. Do the people who have most of them tend to be more right wing? Yes. But there’s leftists with them too. The 48 Rules of Power have been read by all of my siblings, I really like Meditations because it’s an important philosophical text that really shows, imo, how similar humanity is across religions, there’s never a way to know what someone got out of Thus Spake Zarathustra without talking to them about it, and Deep Nutrition is something my mom would probably obsess over for a while before lending it to someone else then forgetting it. While a lot of the media mentioned is genuinely concerning, a lot of it also isn’t, and the books in particular you need to talk to someone to understand what they’re like. It’s not a “oh, you have 5 of these books, despite disagreeing with most of the popular takes on all of them, goodbye.”

So it seems that reasonable women are a thing.

Quote a single passage from Meditations that isn't painfully banal.

The only interesting thing about it is reading it in the light of his confirmed opium addiction:

>If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
>*eats an eighth of raw opium*

They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.

I think once you enter the mindset of being in a kind of arms race of social encryption/decryption with everyone of the opposite gender you have already lost as your primary goal in social interaction is harm minimization because your assumption is you are going to war with other people every time you talk to them rather than anything constructive.

It's like:
>Men are harmful
>I still want a man around
>How can I find the least harmful man toward me

Ding ding ding! You are 100% correct. They are absolutely clueless. About everything.

Even the smarmiest intelligenista wants to be held down and power fucked by a 'real' man.

When I was at uni I watched a girl who had severe anxiety issues because of childhood trauma (sexual) go from being a shut in who only dated pasty, skinny nerds to a complete slut who would cheat on those guys with ape men. Each guy she dated at first boosted her confidence around men until she clearly felt they weren't a threat any more and was happy to abuse that.

I also dated a girl who was deeply into philosophy and read pretty much everything from myth, through presocratics up to modern day germany.

Her understanding was all devoid of actual thought. She just read, found it engaging, 'for some reason' and read and read and remembered the bits that emotionally hit her 'just right'.

Honestly, there was 0 time in her brain spent reading between the lines and trying to think about what the author MEANT. The whole reason to read philosophy is to engage your brain in exactly that way.

I'm certain 99% of women are like this as I've met very few who seem anywhere near capable of thinking for themselves and not having superficial answers to every fucking question.
