I'm a pessimist, how do I start with this literature?

Because calling yourself anything other than a realist acknowledges a disparity between your perception of the world and objective reality. As in, the only reason anyone calls themselves a pessimist is for indulgent self-branding purposes. As in, kill yourself.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 24 05:16:42 2014 No.5051700 >>5051694 Then I would be impressed by his capacity to maintain that world view, but also disappointed that he is looking for literature that would perpetuate said inaccurate perception

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 24 05:17:46 2014 No.5051701 >>5051694 That's basically what that person is saying

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 24 05:20:45 2014 No.5051706 >>5051700 Could anyone ever reach a completely accurate perception of the world?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 24 05:21:23 2014 No.5051709 >>5051706 Yes. With Science.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 24 05:34:55 2014 No.5051727 >>5051709 >completely accurate That's not how science works, dumb-ass.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 24 05:36:18 2014 No.5051730 >>5051727 Yes it is, retard.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 24 05:41:54 2014 No.5051733 >>5051706 No, the question is meaningless.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 24 05:42:54 2014 No.5051734 >>5051730 Except it isn't. Science doesn't give infallible knowledge about anything, that's the whole point of science: we have empirical evidence supporting theories, but this empirical evidence is never complete.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 24 14:59:43 2014 No.5053161 >>5051684 Then I'm biased towards pessimism.
