My thoughts are greater than his, Nietzsche, any other philosopher.

It all has to do with power and connecting, the two most important components of human life with far-reaching applications.

When you are wrathful/depressed/crazed/hedonistic you are reacting to a feeling of powerlessness. I also say that ignorance is a form of powerlessness. WE HAVE FREE WILL. We choose to either cultivate power through self-control, courage, wonder, and humor, or succumb to our innate and experienced powerlessness. We can act either destructively or constructively (in the way of building). This is an extremely simplified explanation of my core philosophy. This is the tip of the iceberg. I go into power-seeking, and how people must seek power, but not excessively, otherwise they are destructive as well.

I also have about 10 OTHER groundbreaking concepts that I go into in the book.

He wasn't the first to introduce his book as a Copernican overturning. Spengler did the same in The Decline of the West. The difference is that only one of them is worth reading.

>> No.9435097

A. You must accept that your life is meaningless.
B. You must then create a subjective foundational mental structure to build an enjoyable life and to protect yourself from meaninglessness.
C. You must create a strong foundational societal structure to support individuals.
D. You must understand that some things destroy humanity and other things strengthen humanity.
E. What is "right" or "wrong" depends on the strengthening or destructive qualities of the action or thought.
F. You must accept and work with things that are not absolute truths in order to accomplish B, C, D, and E.
G. You must accept things that cannot be changed but not succumb to their negative consequences.
H. You must build upon things that can be changed in order to create a stronger mental and societal structure and create a better life

You only truly need to read 30 books in your life that are specifically selected as stepping stones in order to accumulate enough knowledge to know anything. Anything else is waste and takes away from your mental space and ruins your ability to think for yourself.

I don't care if you bought my book, I don't like people who waste their time on earth being stupid.

From his website:
Find the book in these stores: Blue Umbrella Books- Westfield MA (I have an author event here June 1st 6pm), Amherst Books- Amherst MA, World Eye Bookshop- Greenfield MA

So he clearly lives somewhere in Massachusetts. Someone should go to his book reading and piss on him or something. At least take a photo of him, or accuse him of being a 4chan nazi or something.

Judging by what's on this page:
http://www.thefoundationpress.com/thefoundationforexploration.html
your book is a poorly-written summary of what a bunch of other people have theorized before.

Goonan, I just e-mailed Blue Umbrella Books suggesting they cancel your event and stop selling your book. I cited your unsourced passages on genetics, masculinity and homosexuality. I think once they realize what you're all about, they'll probably back out of promoting you.
