I don't think it makes sense, if you are asked to list your favorite books, to include the religious text of your faith. The way people interface with what they perceive to be words inspired by divinity or the direct words of the divine is different from the way we interface with literature. If you mention that text, you aren't actually answering their question as it's only pertaining to literature. This does not necessarily apply to the texts of other religions though.

Most of what people on here and elsewhere consider success in life doesn't appeal to me at all. I don't care, I want to be somewhere alone and only occassionally interact with people through things like the internet, but according to retards on here if I do that it means I'm playing into what the elite wants and coping hard for not having enough pussy. I hate all of this dudebro "alpha" philosophy trying to fill the void, it's just as bad as the lack of masculinity in itself. Most opinions on here are just normie shit with a conspiracy/grandiosity wrapping around it, it's not about alternatives to the fundamental propositions of modern society, instead of reacting with anger when being unable to answer questions about why we do or don't do things (like how "normies" would react), people on here just replace their reaction with some talk about what the elites/jews want you to do or be instead of actually analysing the action. It's only contrarianism to some vague actions of the elites that can be interpreted to yield whatever the preferred contrarian result is, but the underlying thing they want you to do is the same as the normie shit. The best thing is just how many people think this way, and at the same time they believe that most other people don't. It's hilarious to read about people who think everyone else is an NPC and they are the main character or something like that, literally the psychology of a little kid in the narcissist stage, but they wouldn't know because conveniently all psychology is a jewish scam. The general perception and definition of what's considered to be normies or npcs often turns out to be solely based on matching agreements rather than general character traits. If we went with general traits, the ability to test reality and discern the value of information and what to do about it, the average person on here is pretty much the same as anywhere else. How is glooming into the TV and believing everything they say any worse or better than believing anything you read on /pol/ or 4chinz in general? I don't see too much difference between people on here and random people I met in real life other than some opinions, people literally post their fantasies about the elites which sound appealing and some retard picks it up, names it a redpill (that's what it would be if it were true) and becomes so emotionally invested in it that they would take it to the grave rather than be proven wrong. Ultimately even when they ask for source or proof it's highly selective.

The weird frenzy over the change in Calvin Klein ads that took place here not too long ago is a good example of this. There used to be a borderline pornographic image of a conventionally attractive white woman, over time she was replaced by a fat black woman, then a pregnant "man". The outrage was over the so called degradation of western society, but I would argue that having giant billboards with porn on them was bad in the first place. I think I agree with you. Also read about taoism and zen. Maybe it will appeal to you.

I hate reading physical books after getting used to a kindle. The only exception is textbooks where I’m flipping back and forth for reference. E-readers are super light and can be read with one hand in any position and any light level and I am massively spoiled by pulling up definitions by tapping on a word. I hate hardcovers in particular they’re so heavy and cumbersome and uncomfortable on my fingers after a long while.
My dream library is to have no physical books. Just a box of labeled hard drives. I want to get rid of the books I currently have. I bought a fancy bible and a complete Shakespeare and they both feel like total vanity toys, the Shakespeare is so damn big I have found no position to comfortably read it. I hate collecting objects to be placed on shelves I want an empty room.

I'm selling my books.
It took me time to understand I dont like reading the iliad or Odyssey, neither Dostoievsky books. I can't figure it out the reasons, but it's probably something about this books' intesity.
I'm trying to read something that I actually enjoy and can read without problems, right now I'm thinking to read The Hobbit to improver my english and then the other books.

So maybe, in the future, I could back in this books and find them more enjoyable.

Also, I also I want to read some books that help me to become a better person.
any recommendations?

That's because games can't be "literary". They can be art, but they are not literature, they are their own thing, in the same way music is music and cannot be said to be "literary". When vidya try to be "literary" they fail; their potential as an art form can only be fulfilled when they achieve their own language.

I don't want to talk to people anymore. When they say something stupid I just want to bitch slap them or leave and never see them again. I don't want to "exchange my thoughts", I don't want to have a discussion. I am so tired of people's stupid monkey shit, I hate when they talk. Especially the younger ones who pride themselves on being completely enslaved to the fabricated immorality of these garbage times. God, they're such fucking drones. I hate their little games. I feel so much better when I'm completely alone and I regret having tried to make friends and to partake in activities that involve other people.

Copes. I'm single and make almost 6 figures, have no debt, yet I'll never be rich enough to afford anything nice and would never be able to afford to raise a family. I don't buy anything and I'm still poor as far as I'm concerned. This is all nonsense written by people who are already rich and then invent strawmans. If they really felt this way, then why not also advocate for forced abortions with low net worth (i do). The simple fact of the matter is companies are refusing to pay living salaries to people and home flipper grifters, housing/rental conglomerates, taxes, high gas prices make life impossible. As such, the majority of people are impoverished and must make economizing decisions every day. Slavery is more humane than making under $50k because at least slaves didn't need to worry about financial and social stress. Everything in life was arranged for them.

A housing expert like myself consumer-oriented with market rates and our clients estimated by our professional and accredited organizations to be worth of $280/hour + expenses, which would be about $15-20k a week for myself alone and my wide also. You're honor, I do the community a service by "improving" the house and that work is also to be deducted from the gains I've made on it. When it's all said and done the actual profit on it is small and my work hours of eating lunch and fooling around golfing with other fellow rich people, is a measly $10k net profit to which I'm happy to pay tax on.

The trouble is there's too much "meaning" buried too deep under too much verbal whimsy. The game isn't worth the candle. If the book were to disappear tomorrow the loss to humanity would be slight.

Buddhism is just a very refined form of Hedonism and is mainly supposed to be practiced, not studied.

I used to be a hardcore porn addict. Edging for hours, until my dick bled, then continuing by stimulating my prostate. Often high or drunk.

Even just the first Jhana is so much more pleasurable it’s unreal. It’s mind-numbing intense pleasure that then opens up into a kind of tranquility/smooth feeling that rivals even the most comfortable of MDMA highs.
Afterwards you’re not even exhausted, you actually feel better than before.
It also opens up the way for getting rid of a lot of stress and brings relaxation into daily life. It transforms your views in the nicest way possible.

God damn humans, so conditioned and attached to suffering that any reprieve is regarded as hedonstic.

If you're getting attached to meditative states and experiences, you're going to have a bad time. Most teachers will emphasize not to attach or identify with any experiences that arise during meditation, so it's a bit silly to say buddhists are hedonists because you practice incorrectly and misunderstand the teachings.

I don't like this mindset. This fear of jhana has led to whole schools of "dry insight" practice that ignore the fact that the suttas explicitly praise jhana as an integral part of the path.
It's better to be attached to jhana than being attached to worldly pleasure, because attachment to jhana provides insight into the amount of suffering contained in worldly pleasure.
I think it's okay to consider Buddhism hedonistic if you take into account the Buddha's idea of which feelings are truly pleasant, that is: pain<pleasure<neutral<none, where the state of no feeling is the highest pleasure.

This view isn't unpopular, tons of normies believe this. It's also totally naive, the sort of thing people believe when their only experience of mental illness is "depression" or "anxiety" rather than low functioning autism or schizophrenia. Real mental illnesses are very obviously illnesses in the clinical sense. A person with these illnesses has impaired functioning (in the sense of biological sustenance) and if left on their own will have significantly decreased life expectancy.

Hollywood is run by Jews. Hollywood created anti-nazi propaganda during WW2. Ashkenazi Jews actually financed Hitler, to kill Sephardi Jews. Ok? The entire world is just this jew and that jew fighting each other, as most governments are occupied by Zionists (eg most running the Soviet Union in the 1920s were Jewish, such as Lenin). Something like 50 million men, women and children died in WW2, just so a few million jews could be saved. It was ridiculous. British MP Oswald Mosley was against Britain entering the fight against Germany, but Winston Churchill, again financed by Jews and supported by Jews in the media (which is also run by Jews) went to war against Germany. Jews are power-hungry, and have evolved out of a bottleneck population. Jews could not survive by themselves in nature, as they have literally evolved by being sneaky and taking advantage of others, and blaming others and acting like victims when it all blows up in their face. Of course I'm only referring to a few, like thousands, of Jews (I hope they are not all terrible) who throughout history have financed wars and f*cked things up for everyone. They literally have this deluded schizo belief that they are God's chosen people, and they are racist against all other races. In the 20th Century the media in America portrayed blacks as evil to destract the general population from the crimes of the Jew, now they are doing it again against Whites (to focus more on race rather than the Jewish 1% after Occupy Wallstreet in 2011 is my theory). They are playing an experiment on Western Civilisation in Europe now by replacing whites with shit skins. If their plan fails then they will gtfo to some other part of the world and make it someone elses problem. Hitler was right, he was pro-nature and a lot of Jews are anti-nature. Of course I don't wanna be seen as anti-semetic here cus a lot of Jews are using their skills to good use, by becoming doctors, scientists (who don't even benefit human kind in the long run)

>You don't have autism or BPD. You're just gaming the system for free money and neetbux.

Not that anon but where I live (Australia) neither autism nor BPD are sufficient to receive disability support welfare... perhaps extremely low functioning cases of autism, but even then the process for getting on benefits is draconian by design, they don't just give out 'free neetbux' to anyone. I get you're probably an entitled neurotypical normy dissatisfied with working class life and looking for someone to blame but I see no reason to direct that vitriol at mentally ill people.

They take shit seriously and work hard while many of the youngins are still in their party phase. Trust me as long as you show up enthusiastic to learn and engage with the material you will fit in easily. Just don't be a creeper, focus on being the hard working, laid back older dude.

Fundamentally yes and I'm not going to kid myself and pretend that one surrogate activity you waste time with is fundamentally nobler than another. But there's something in particular about clinging on to life so hard as an old person, taking all those meds, getting checked, getting surgery, all that shit, and then using what little time you have left to vegetate on the couch watching Celebrity Big Brother that makes me question shit much harder than contemplating that some kid may be wasting his youth playing videogames.

Dude at least videogames have an active component. If I want to transpose this to another old person activity, it would be like playing darts or chess. Yes, absolutely, in the grand scheme of things both watching Celebrity Big Brother and doing this shit is still a time-waster, a secondary activity, but playing games is at least mildly stimulating. Have you fucking watched Celebrity Big Brother? Have you seen what the fuck it is? It's watching a bunch of unpleasant hookers and trannies and other subhumans juts laze around on a couch saying the most inane fucking shit. It's not even entertaining, I have NO idea why the fuck would anyone watch this shit. The most braindead slice of life anime is hundreds of times more stimulating than this.

Opioids aren't euphoric. Most people on them would prefer to not have chronic pain. They make you sedated, lazy and not really enjoy life. The idea that they are ultra pleasurable and super addictive has no scientific basis. It's not psychopharmacologists making these claims but two bit politicians and gung-ho judicants. If a doctor injected you with 10mg of IV morphine, you wouldn't feel as elated or good as the news of winning a large sum of money. I would argue that even pleasant socializing is more pleasurable. Most people making claims of them being euphoric have absolutely no first hand experience with their use, or in the case of non-physiological "addicts" they are quantifiable liars using it as an external excuse for their individual failings, or are drama-queens that love to cause hell for everyone in their life and would be doing so anyways.

A brief explanation is that you have primary activities which could be narrowed down to whatever pre-industrial people would do as work e.g. crafting tools, taking care of one's habitation, caring for crops, hunting, making clothes, etc. All these things are primary activities that directly give you tokens for survival, e.g. food, but also other direct improvements on your living conditions. I purposefully say this instead of "whatever aboriginals would do" because the book is not an argument for primitivism but simply a pre-industrial lifestyle. The idea of a primary activity is something that directly gives you something. Secondary activities are not only things you do for leisure, like playing games, but also things that do not have this direct relationship with a reward. Sitting in front of a computer working on an Excel spreadsheet for Mr. Kikenberg's company is not leisure, it's work, and it does give you resources for survival in the indirect form of money, but it's not a primary activity. It's a secondary activity that modern society has forced into the role of a primary activity. This is basically why half the population is on brain meds.

my entire view on consumerism can be summed up here:

>People who bitch about consumerism need to die. You like food, right? Well you have to "consume" it in order to reap its benefits. The same thing with everything else in this world, what you read, what you see, what you play, literally everything that involves money (which you need to have a basic standard of living) involves consumption. People who think consuming things are bad should try not eating, not reading anything (literally any words placed anywhere), and avoiding listening to anything, be it music, speeches, or conversations. They would eventually die from sensory deprivation. Good riddance.

the entire problem of "consumerism" is that everything and anything can be reduced to it. complaining about what other people do in their free time is a waste of energy. concentrate on yourself first. that's the gist of the quote, I have a huge problem with leftists making "muh consumerism" some kind of meme, because who cares about whether your uncle enjoys porn or your mother watches soaps, they are not you, they are someone else, so trying to lecture people on "how things oughta be" is a waste of time if you have your own comforts. everyone does. that's life.

No. False. Wrong. Consumerism is the socio-economic policy tied direcrly to conspicious consumption and mass consumption. That the economy/society/polis/nation suffers if we stop consuming. Simply consuming a book, a meal or even a beloved hobby is not by default consumerism. Wherein every problem is viewed through the lens of consuming more is better than not consuming more.

This is a critical point people ignore.

This is the one. Who wouldn't be near fucking raptured by that shit when spoken in character by Jones? I'm exaggerating but it's shit like this that makes Blood Meridian (2025) seem possible.

The scene where the Mexican captain and his soldiers happen upon the kid and Sproule in the desert. I read the fuck out of that part and it hit me how screen-capable that exchange is. It's a little hard to explain but imagine if it's only been less than 30 minutes of roughly the same tone on screen and then suddenly the Mexicans happen upon these two stricken white boys high in the desert, the watching audience has been conditioned by their plight after the Comanche attack, and this seemingly random band of Mexicans comes upon them up in the crag and are just like "Que quiere?" and "Buscan los indios?" ? If they put subtitles for that shit it'd be one thing but if they didn't itd be another (rewatch, like The Wild Bunch for example)

There are tradeoffs either way, but if I had to start all over again I would probably only pay for physical books if they had a lot of footnotes, appendices, or images to flip through. It's hard to get over the convenience of digital if you have a decent ereader available. Shakespeare is actually one thing I definitely prefer to have physical. However, I buy the individuals plays themselves as I read them. For me I really don't like hoarding material possessions either. They actually annoy me because it's just more shit to worry about if I lose my apartment again.

This is nonsense. I'm old enough to have parents and grandparents that merely showed up and were handed homes and jobs with benefits, pensions, and everything else. My grandfather didn't finish elementary school. My father didn't finish high school. You really had to fuck up bad to end up broke in the old days. You had to do like my father and start collecting real horses like they were Pokemon. You had to go out of your way to get into massive debt. It wasn't something you did for college. You literally just wanted a bigger home than you should have been able to afford. So, you go to the bank and they happily threw money at you. The reason they didn't have welfare systems like we do now is that they didn't fucking need them. The cost of living was so low you had beggars that were actually wealthier than full-time employees in the food industry are now.

I'm going on 40. I've mostly just slipped into a routine of trying to sleep. Sleeping like shit. Ticking off the hours and days. Reading as much as possible to kill time. Turning on Netflix while I force myself to exercise. There really is only one reason I haven't killed myself. If I get cancer or some other illness I already know I'll feel relieved. I know this because in my twenties I had a brush with death and I recovered. To this day I remember how at peace I felt when I thought I was dying. Haven't felt that way since. I feel like the way our culture refuses to accept death is at the root of a lot of our problems in modern times. Suicide booths should be on every corner.

my condition doesnt even have a name. its an entirely new thing. i am currently being researched by world renowned doctors but the chances of a cure for me are close to zero. one day it will make me completely blind.

I have used the fact that ive read Crime and punishment for clout and respect of family and friends numerous times and I am irrevocably ashamed. I have always hated pseuds and faggots that do this. Hollow and empty heads who just read books so they can tell other people theyve read but im such an introvert that I spend most of my free time alone mostly doing inane garbage. I just didint want my family to think im a pleb

Rape of used up whores isn't really a huge issue, public property is always abused. It's the rape of virgins that's the real crime. You are damaging and making whores of women that would otherwise have married well and created good children. I think preventing people from building a normal life and family is grounds for public execution.

Attending a church ‘to have a look’ doesn’t render you a Christian if you don’t feel it in your heart, so don’t feel any pressure where there is none. Are your baptised? Confirmed?
They’re not going to lynch you for that. If any emotion, it would be sadness, not anger that you departed.

Do whatever you need to do. If you need rest and peace (what you call being "humble") to feel strong, then so be it. Recognize A) impermanence (everything which begins ends); B) Right action, right thought. The fruits are infinite so long as you know what an infinity is and how to find it.

>i dont tell strangers about it because they would pity me and treat me artificially well.
there is nothing shameful about vulnerability. we have been conditioned by capitalist society to judge people in terms of their utility, and it is a very dehumanizing view that hurts disabled people especially. from marx's notes on james mill:
>The only intelligible language in which we converse with one another consists of our objects in their relation to each other. We would not understand a human language and it would remain without effect. By one side it would be recognised and felt as being a request, an entreaty, and therefore a humiliation, and consequently uttered with a feeling of shame, of degradation. By the other side it would be regarded as impudence or lunacy and rejected as such. We are to such an extent estranged from man's essential nature that the direct language of this essential nature seems to us a violation of human dignity, whereas the estranged language of material values seems to be the well-justified assertion of human dignity that is self-confident and conscious of itself.
>its hard to keep positive in life when im objectively inferior to average people.
again, you have internalized the dehumanization of yourself, judging yourself against some sort of abstract "average person", and by "average" you clearly mean along some kind if criteria of productivity or something of the like. another marx quote:
>But one man is superior to another physically, or mentally, and supplies more labor in the same time, or can labor for a longer time; and labor, to serve as a measure, must be defined by its duration or intensity, otherwise it ceases to be a standard of measurement. This equal right is an unequal right for unequal labor. It recognizes no class differences, because everyone is only a worker like everyone else; but it tacitly recognizes unequal individual endowment, and thus productive capacity, as a natural privilege. It is, therefore, a right of inequality, in its content, like every right. Right, by its very nature, can consist only in the application of an equal standard; but unequal individuals (and they would not be different individuals if they were not unequal) are measurable only by an equal standard insofar as they are brought under an equal point of view, are taken from one definite side only – for instance, in the present case, are regarded only as workers and nothing more is seen in them, everything else being ignored. Further, one worker is married, another is not; one has more children than another, and so on and so forth. Thus, with an equal performance of labor, and hence an equal in the social consumption fund, one will in fact receive more than another, one will be richer than another, and so on. To avoid all these defects, right, instead of being equal, would have to be unequal.

honestly games are better viewed as interactive, visual, and auditory art, I don't think any game will ever hold up writing wise to good lit. That is of course unless its a movie game that's almost entirely focused on story, in which case its a bad game.

Smerdyakov never killed Fyodor. Mitya is directly or indirectly responsible for everything else bad that happens in the novel. It follows logically that the hot-blooded son would kill Fyodor. Conversely Smerdyakov had all the time in the world to kill his mother's rapist. Also, it was shown that he'd moved past his birth several times in the novel. Notably: He's the only one of the brothers that creates beauty.
He took the money because he wanted to leave and start his own business, and he confessed to Ivan because he looked up to Ivan while knowing his brother despised him and loved Mitya. Giving up his dreams to save his awful brother was the last act of a good man.

I used to read books all the time, but with modern technology, I've lost the will power to sit down and just read. It used to take me days sometimes to finish a book - it took me a month to get through one, and I'm not even halfway through a magazine.

you are just a sad lonely fuck who got used to not interacting with people (probably because of bad experiences in the past) and you are missing out on the many things life has to offer. i was a quite similar douche in my depressed days about 6 years ago but i got past it.

Transgender ideology is morally corrupt and damages thousands of people all over the world.

It was officially a mental illness before and now it's a fucking sexuality (or whatever).
I remember reading, that a mentall symptom becomes an illness as soon as you start damaging your social life and/or your health.

So how can it be that people, who are talked into this shit (fucking teachers and parents telling kindergarden(!!!) children or youths in their puberty, that they can simply change their gender by destroying their own body and cutting their genitals off) when they fucking feel weird once.

THAT IS NORMAL IN PUBERTY

i am really not homophobe or transphobe. i know several people like this and i like all of them. heck, my best friend has a "bi-stain" from his vegan lefty past (he is over it, still bi i guess. i dont ask him). the most important thing is to never hate an individual for his ideology but rather the ideology itself (as you have noticed, i am quite moderat in having opinions, as i think not slipping into extremestic structures is very important).

but enough of that.
how can it be, that people are supporting having dragqueens in kindergardens. how can they manipulate children into destroying their body? how do people justify supporting the lgbbq agenda?

Dumbass. Reading a piece of literature that's been translated gives you the exact same experience as if you'd read it in the original language; suppose there's a universe out there where Kafka was English instead of German/Czech, and that he wrote his works in English. In that universe the original English work would be the one considered by people such as yourself to be what you described. And the German translation, you would think, would be just that, therefore unparalleled with the original in terms of what you think.
