>>14190079>>14190570Right but does he have any sincere desires or hopes or is he so hopelessly obfuscated by the premise of accelerationism (which is inherently obfuscatory since it proposes that your behaviour should not be in line with your beliefs, at least not directly) that it's impossible to know his ACTUAL personal views?

>>14191915And your proof for this claim is where exactly?
>>14191937>Most of you absolute niggers think of early humans as comic book caricatures, matter of fact most calories did not come from hunting down huge animals, but rather from abundantly available fruit, nuts, mushrooms, vegetables, insects and literally anything else edible. Early human palate is closer to that of a pig, rather than a wolf.The sole reason human beings are even here is because we got shittons of calories from meat that we COOKED making it digest way fucking faster than usual thus rewarding us with way more energy from the equation. We didn't stuff ourselves full of berries and shit. We got meat 2 or 3 times a week, often skipped entire days not eating anything and ate gathered foods as snacks.
>>14189855I mean it increases 2x your chances of getting lucky and becoming filthy rich because of someone elses work and using your money to push stupid shit that cant work because of fundamental laws of physics

Avid reader and uni student here. My only passion has ever been books/reading, and I can't think of any other profession I would rather go for, I would be miserable in any other field. But I've heard the Editing and Publishing industry can be very difficult to gain a foothold in without connections, is this true? Is it just an impossible pipe dream that I should just give up now and not bother with?I apologize if /lit/ is the wrong place for this thread, I just thought there might be some people familiar with it here. I'll move to /adv/ if needed.
What books might this individual like?

>>14184471No. There's nothing glorious or honourable about using drones to do 99% of your dirty work. The only honourable combatants at this point are guerilla fighters.
No, there cannot be courage or glory in anything unless Liberal media idealogues say so. You're a cringe incel if you believe in anything except things explicitly rubber stamped by several rounds of focus group trials backed by machine learning processed ad data harvested by international corporations. If Jews on Late Night Comedy shows are not exhorting it, it is immoral to believe it.Conformity and comfort are the highest virtues. To actually believe in anything, as opposed to just wallowing in irony, is the greatest sin imaginable.
>>14191502good point
>Taught by Leibniz at the Court of Berlin, Princess Caroline had an 'ardent love of learning, and fondness for metaphysical knowledge' and frequently corresponded with her former tutor after moving to England.Imagine!
>>14191812Stop anon. Liebniz was pure!
>'ardent love of learning, and fondness for metaphysical knowledge'Is this code?
>>14191802Leibniz was volcel though. Imagine how thirsty Caroline was over a man that only cared about Jesus and Calculus and genociding t*rks.
>>14191905Nobody is more impure than those who inspire a love of learning, as "love of learning" is a desire for one's current understanding to be continually perverted and questioned. It is the greatest pleasure of every great teacher to have their own teachings perverted by their students beyond what they had envisioned.>>14191916Yes it's "being queer" on a level of being queer that is most queer.
>>14192046This is projection of your own mentality: you are ruled by your gonads, and so you assume everyone else is. Having a healthy relationship with your entire body is simply unimaginable to you, because you don't experience it.

>>14191979One thing about you Jews i like is your swearwords. They actually sound like swearwords. Similar to German it just sounds right. I do hope that we can agree though that if there ever was such thing as a real life devil, it's George Soros.

NEW THREAD>>14192370NEW THREADBecause I won't be available for rest of the day.
>>14192188yiddish swears are great because they sound exactly like english swears, but don't get official swear status, so you can say them wherever you want, including temple. you can call god a schmuck and all the rabbi can say is "yeah, that's fair"as for soros he's not some "jewish mastermind". its a little ridiculous how nonsensical antisemites get over stupid conspiracy theories. you don't cite sources, you don't provide evidence, your only justification seems to be that jewish billionaires exist as if white, non-jewish billionaires don't outnumber every other ethnicity except maybe the chineselike, I can understand why you revile black people even if I don't agree with it. the anti-jewish shit just sounds like the ravings of a lunatic. if you guys wanted to say billionaires in general had a secret cabal dedicated to controling the world id buy it, but my mom cant even afgord her apartment without a roommate. you're telling me she's got influence over world affairs?
What does /lit/ think of the gospels?
Ancient and/or religious literature is hard for me to get into.
>>14190986the ultimate meaning of based, and also gospelpilled>>14191175blasphemy
>>14190986The Bible for the most part is super fucking boring and I don't know why you guys keep pretending to read the whole thing cover-to-cover but the Gospels are legitimately pretty good, especially after you've been wading through however many hundreds of pages of awful verse and just the shrillest, most annoying Jewish self-loathing imaginable. The Jews fuck up, God punishes them with a plague or a foreign invasion or something, the Jews grovel and cry and jerk off about how horrible they all are, God forgives, repeat ad nauseum. And finally they just get sick of it and murder God and here we are now.Sidenote, but Jesus is fucking terrifying. Totally not like pop culture Jesus who's a nice guy and kind of a hippy. He's got this quiet rage that keeps you on edge and says shit like "To him who has much he will have everything; to him who has little he will have nothing." I'd like to stay away from him but according to him you can't. We're all standing in his headlights.
I really like John. I was sort of a puritanical zealot in my late teens so I thought the gospels were kind of gay and focused mostly on the epistles, but now that life has taken it's toll on me I find the epistles much more difficult and the Gospels inviting. In another time I might have joined Holy Orders, but the path of a young professional is fraught with with temptations. In the modern world it seems impossible to get ahead while remaining pure, and my job is so taxing that I think I'd die without the emotional support of a cute girl. I don't love money, but it seems wrong to throw away my career; shouldn't God have led me down a different path if I wasn't supposed to be here?
>>14191712>>The Bible for the most part is super fucking boring and I don't know why you guys keep pretending to read the whole thing cover-to-coverThe only boring parts are the 'historical texts' (I mean Samuel, Kings and Chronicles). The Numbers and Leviticus with autistic descriptions of ceremonies aren't the best either. Everything else flows quite nicely.

How much background in philosophy does someone really need in order to read 20th-21st century thinkers? It seems like required reading grows exponentially with time, since each text is in conversation with x others, each of which is in conversation with x others, etc..
Do you have a topic that interest you? Then go and read the most influential thinkers in that field. Alternatively if there is a philosopher you want to read look up which philosopher he was influenced by and read that
