>dude if you're working three jobs fulltime and still poor it's totally your fault and not the result of a faulty societal structure/system, just go to college, it's only like 20,000 dollars just for the first year, then you can start a business on the "free" market and be happy unless you actually have success and then Apple or Google buy it

Friendly reminder that there is no such thing as genuine "non-fiction."

Every single book in history was written by human beings, and no human being is trustworthy enough that you should take every single thing (or even anything) that they write as factual.

History is written by the winners and thus actual history no longer exists in any tangible form.

The best way to understand anything in life is to simply experience it yourself. Accumulating unreliable knowledge from books is a massive waste of time.

Quit your job. Go travel. Fuck some nasty hoes (and some guys too). Fall in love. Get high a few times. Become the master of a craft. etc.

External reality that becomes the past is no longer reality and no longer worth wasting thought on besides to learn how you can personally do better.

Stop wasting time with 500-yo philosophy about the politics of ancient Greece or the existence of the soul or whatever the fuck.

You are not making yourself smarter, you are making yourself boring. To be smart you have to DO things.

reminder that he opposed it for the same reasons Milton did: it destroyed natural beauty, and the drive for wealth was itself a new master, and it reduced men to mere numbers.

these are good reasons to oppose something. there is no good reason to dress in black and go participate in random mob violence. and reminder that communism is actually worse because it deprives man not just of his dignity and freedom, but literally everything else as well.

The majority of posters on /lit/ could accurately answer this with:

>"A slightly arbitrary subset of classics curated by the /lit/ hivemind, some meme philosophers (Stirner, Peterson etc.) and absolutely nothing written after the 20th century except John Green (but only ironically)
