/lit/ - Literature

I'm not a violent person, but I just came within inches of punching my housemate in the face. He's a bit of snob - he had a wealthier upbringing than me and he has all sorts of snobby opinions about food and television etc. and will often make fun of the types of things I ate as a kid, which he definitely sees as low class. It all really gets on my nerves.

Anyway I was making my dinner and he walked into the kitchen and the look of smug mockery on his face when he saw what I was eating just sent me into a rage. For a split second I just saw my fist flying into his face and I even took a few steps forward and lifted my fists to do, but I stopped myself before I did. It was a completely impulsive response. It was like when I saw his face a switch flicked and I lost control. Now obviously I didn't do anything, but I was bit alarmed by how impulsive I felt. I kind of understand how people get themselves into barfights now. I think the thing that stopped me at the last moment was that I realised in a split second that I would have to keep living with him, even after I'd punched him, which is not what I want. If he had been a stranger though, maybe I would have done it.

modern philosophy is worthwhile as an intellectual exercise
while my driver brings me home from my job at the hedgefund to my massive penthouse manhattan mansion, i stretch my legs in the back of my lamborghini limoseen and sometimes indulges myself by flicking through some light reading - today it was Hegel, Kant, and Spinoza. i burn the books when im done with them, as i memorize them instantly, and therefore can reread as i please. yesterday my fourth wife asked me how philosophers make money. i replied, they dont. we guffawed and guffawed. to quote Spinoza: "i dont make money."
