I’m not into Japanese stuff but Sam Hyde said he liked it and usually our tastes align

No, it's just a pile of random anecdotes driving home the point that you should be ready to die for your feudal lord at any moment should he wish it.

IMO its shit without the historical context. Read a book on the Sengoku civil war first(the era that came before big era of the samurai).

It's just far eastern stoicism the only difference is you can see the kernel that would become the soulless japanese salaryman and how you can feel dignified even while crawling around on the floor eating garbage. I find it almost bizarre Sam hates stoicism but likes Hagakure. I also find it strange he likes PKD despite how spiritual and psychedelic he is.

I love this book it's very deep but I think that you need to read up about confucianism, zen buddhism and taoism before reading it because Tsunetomo often cites the arguments of each one.

Honestly, I would avoid Japanese literature like the plague. There’s a lot of it that is quite good, aesthetically any way. But it lacks depth, and to Westerners cultural relevance. All of that brain space you allocate to Japanese literature, would be better spent on Western literature, or even Russian and Latin American literature.

Most people that read PKD have no idea that he believed in God. I doubt Hyde has ever read Exegenesis, he likely can't look past PKD's anticapitolism and schzio Paranoia

The only japanese shit i ever read was the first five chapters of Tales of Genji and it was terribly boring.
