Excellent.

A few I've read, most I've not.

This looks good. Thank you.

The idea of Romantic political works is interesting. I'd suggest perhaps somewhere between humanism and love of the wilderness.

Ehh, that's in the pure sense. My favorite professor right now speaks of sublime beauty in properly functioning humans and bodies politic. I see it sometimes. I suppose there's romance in there somewhere.

Justice, Wisdom is cold.

My professor started me on selections of Political Liberalism.

We read PL after we'd read Strauss(Introduction to Political Philosophy), Oakeshott (Rationalism in Politics).

After, we read about Walzer (Politics and Passion [Collectivism Theory]).

Read about Overlapping Consensus, Original Position, Veil of Ignorance, etc. in PL.

Rawls is essential.

What the fuck is a "thot"?

The Myth of Sisyphus - Camus

look it up

... nice

Although, as a Jew, I was not taught that. I was taught that was one interpretation of many. Original sin is more a Catholic thing. Our punishment is our awareness without eternal life.

to be honest, you're caught up in your words, and if you could step outside your... method of understanding you'd see that we're saying something similar.

Fair enough.

Fag.

>>5108151

nope

>>5108138

No. I'm CUNT

I'm changing my name every time I clear my history. Because fuck namefags.

>>5108123

> kills you because it feels good

I mean that the constant increase in our search for synthetic feelgoods (vice) we replace what is actually good for the easy ways of feeling good.

Also, I realize that The Fountainhead wasn't the one produced by Mussolini's progeny.

>>5106767

The Fountainhead was a REALLY bad film. Apparently the imdb people felt it was better than I felt.

Heroin feels good but it kills you because it feels good. Auto-erotic asphyxiation, gamboling, etc.

I can't think of much in terms of literary examples right now, I'm drunk. Play with any number of religious texts. I'm thinking something in the Bhagavad Gita or Tao Te Ching will have your answer. Some of the "AVOID ATTACHMENT TO THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR AND LOVE THE LABOR" stuff.

>>5106213

Because that would likely span a fucking eternity of human culture and be meaningless given it'd be designed by some shitty method of census among retards on 4chan. Do something about it yourself.

"Many Times the People Desires Its Own Ruin, Deceived by a False Appearance of Good; and That Great Hopes and Mighty Promises Easily Move It"

Machiavelli: Discourses on Livy - I:LIII (chapter title)

I mean, it's a much repeated theme. Things that seem good are sometimes bad for the very reason that seems good.

Ay lika dis.

Also this.

>>5107754

Which one? How was it?

>>5107833

I like that. Although I like the idea of the sweaty fumbling paranoid slowly losing his grip through misinterpretation.

Maybe an Illuminatius! tinge? Involving all of the insanities of the day? Or maybe he's totally bonkers, as in he KNOWS Roger Rabbit is fucking after him because of the doughnut shop owner. He sees cartoon characters and shit.

>>5107809

I really enjoyed your thematic synopsis.

>>5107802

Donuts? Coffee? Pizza? Delicatessen? I think the Jewy connection is funny. Maybe a lan center or repair shop or cobbler or pawn shop owner.

His thoughts about the spy could be singularly insane. The NSA or North Korea or China or even Google or some shit.

interesting premise
