it's actually much easier than when you spend too much time thinking about it. i used to think it was difficult and that i would at best be able to do it concentrate on the book only if it the music was quiet instrumental, but i was on quite a long bus trip a few weeks ago, the only music i had with me was Springsteen- an album with easily perceptible lyrics. it worked fine and eventually the it just became as repetitive a background sound as brian eno. i was reading comfortably at my usual pace and blocking out distraction from other people on the bus. closing off both my audio and visual senses like that felt comforting, cosy like a cocoon.

have you ever actually had friends? they break up all the time and there is no obligation to reconcile. with family, reconciliation while far from being inevitable is much more likely because even if you break up there might be traditions/holidays that force you to be together requiring you to at least make the situation bearable and there is a much more stable support network dependent on your affiliation.

That's a pretty weak thesis, man. So family is more likely to reconcile because they might see each other on holidays? You must be pretty young if that's how you're putting together persuasion.

Many people go for years without speaking to family members. I haven't spoken with a good amount of close family members (father, aunts, etc.) in years. I have had problems with friends and reconciled years later. It happens a lot, dude. Especially when you get older. Maybe you just haven't had many close friendships?

and jeggings aren't attractive because they are scant. in fact they are the opposite. they're a substantial cover. . they're attractive for simply because they look good on women, they show off features without having to display them. i actually prefer girls who wear them with more clothes, not less. like an oversized hoodie or a shirt skirt.

I actually met my girlfriend in a subway while she was reading :D.
To be honest, she did ogle me 2 or 3 times before I gave myself courage and asked her about the book. It was The Adolescent by Dostoevsky, and I've told her that he's one of my favorites (he's not, but I do like him).
After talking about books a little, I walked off at the next station (even if that was not where I was supposed to, but spaghetti started flowing already) and asked her email.
Pretty proud of myself.

This is true. Girls who wear them just to hang out at someone's house or to, you know, actually exercise aren't doing anything wrong. They just aren't suitable for going out in public. In terms of laziness and fashion, they're the female equivalent of men's shitty baggy athletic pants.

most trousers are tight around the ass region because women generally have large asses. it's the whole michelangelo's venus image. women's asses are going to be 'on display' no matter what they wear.

It may seem like an exaggeration, but I believe that the attitude that accepts leggings in public is the same attitude that is tolerant of stupidity, dumb entertainment, dirty dishes, filthy houses, credit card debt, teenage parenthood, text speak, decadence, decline and cultural entropy in general. It's all connected. This whole search for comfort, this attitude of the dumb apologetic shrug in the face of anyone who calls them out on it, it's all part of the same general mindset.

I'm no child. Still, I can't think of greater priorities than striving for excellence. This of course doesn't mean that you can't relax. It just means that you should strive for excellence in your relaxation as well. Why not do everything in the best way? Taking care of your spawn is hardly an excuse to let yourself go. Plenty of people raise children without succumbing to tired bleakness.

But I agree with you in the sense that is a problem of setting. People should wear their leggings in their lair. Going out into the world like that is a whole other thing, and is a symptom of decay. Do you know the cartoonish stereotype of depressed people going around town unshaven in their pyjama's? That exists for a reason. The same reason soldiers are required to keep up appearances, even when at war. It solidifies the thin line between order and disorder, between vitality and lethargy.

It's trends like this, however insignificant, that are both a symptom and a cause of a societal trend towards indifference.

Definitely do try Bloom´s Closing of the American Mind. As fro the other two, I read too little of them to judge. Actually I was hoping to find out more about their work.

Would it be interesting enough for a European fellow who isn't all that interested in the United States for it's own sake?

Every philosophy does that. The best are even deeply embedded in every aspect of ones life, including social life.

I would say so. The book describes and criticizes life in America in particular, but both causes and symptoms of the dismal state of the U.S. are not exclusive to America. In certain ways (as it focuses on the ideas that inform our choices, and thus ultimately on philosophy) Bloom´s analysis fits even better to Europe than to the U.S.

Back when I was living in New Zealand a girl approached me to ask what I was reading. I answered "The Possessed, by Dostoevsky". She then asked me if it was good. I am generally very straightforward when people ask me things so embarked on a lengthy monologue that could somewhat satisfy the broad definition of "good".

In hindsight, it is possible that she wasn't really interested in the book or in any book for that matter. She probably didn't enjoy the one sided discussion about a russian author either.

It was not the first time something like that happened to me either. I have this bad habit of taking things for granted and never suspecting an ulterior motivation to any action on a first analysis of the situation. Then, when I am alone and start to review things, speculation runs wild.

I'm extreamly literal. If a woman asked me about a book I'd tell her about the book. If she said she was watching a scary movie that night and hated to watch it alone I would be puzzled why she was then going to watch it.

why are they so weak and roundabout? Do they crave security like their pep-pep gave them when they were little? Why can't they take responsibility for their own actions and desires?
