>in a world without religion or God you may as well live for comfort

The whole point is that the only one who actually can live in such a world is the ubermensch who does so by creating it themselves
You are still coming at it from an angle where the world being without religion or god or whatever else is already decided for you and you are simply reacting to it by way of a deductive logical pattern which in itself reveals that you are in fact still living in that world
Think of it this way can even a 180 IQ person supersede an all knowing and all powerful god? No not even close in fact with such a massive gap the difference between the 180 IQ individual and the 90 IQ individual becomes completely meaningless and indiscernible. But that is exactly the point of the ubermensch that all humans are vastly inferior to god yet they must supersede him nonetheless for their own sake.

Two different versions of internerd virgin kiddos with zero life experience.
>"I can just assume what all of life is like and what the results of every attempt at everything would be."
You need more Jung and BASIC life experience, and less misunderstood Nietzschean Dragonball Z power masturbation talk. Everything you think you know, because you haven't actually experienced it, is a LITERAL fantasy. Not real, at all. Including about Nietzsche.
>"Trust me bro, I can just guess what is on every website without ever using the internet."
Leave your house and actually fucking talk to another human being. That's a significant goal for you today. You can become an ubermensch tomorrow. Lol.

I've been reading Houellebecq in the original French to practice because I've been told that he's an easy author to read, and after the second book I'm starting to feel emotionally drained by this much bleakness. Could you recommend me some other French authors that are okay for people with an intermediate level of French and who are a little bit more cheerful?

Arsène Lupin maybe? The author is Maurice Leblanc.

love one another anons. seek to overcome your differences and come together, whoever it may be with.

I'm sitting in a sweltering hot and humid room with no power, the smell of sweat, tinnitus, and a headache.
This is a good day.
Many days aren't this good.
I've had my therapists blessing to justifiably an hero.
But the Boulder is there.
I'm not sure why I need to push it
I'm fairly sure I don't even WANT to push it.
But I've been to the bottom so many times I have reserved seating.
I'm never going to see that mountain top.
I'm never going to find happiness along the way.
Somewhere in pushing that infernal thing I'll die alone and forgotten.
But I'm still going to push it.
Its how I know I'm alive

It's to show how hopeless the task of enlighening people is.
That you may try to roll that rock up that hill in many different ways but people love being stupid.
The rock is happy not the guy rolling it up the hill of understanding and knowlage.
You are that rock, ignorant, suborn and just will not move out of your ignorance unless forced.
Look to the words you use aganst the wise, know-it-all, nerd, loser, geek, onions-boy, and a host of the not so printable feminized flavers of unfit.
This is that sysyphusian task of bringing knowlage to savages.
Its not about some personal work or achivement its about uplifting stupid animals into a better world by force, rather then by wisdom.
As savages will not suffer wisdom only violence, brutality and force.
If words worked men would use pens instead of knives to fight.
Sooner or later sysyphus will smash the rock and haul its bits to the top and toss them over and be done.
So that is the history that has happend.
Violence as debate, continued to this day as men would rather be smashed to bits then learn of wisdom, reason, contract and God.
So no sysyphus is not happy, only driven for the moment to educate rather then destroy.

>In the end it's going to be irrelevant anyway BUT if you kill yourself you lose the only thing that you'll eve have: your life. Might as well check it out.

the issue is that in this world so many people are not living life. I'm young so i've still hope, but in a couple hours I have to go to my 9-5 job where I make some multiple time casino owner even more money. There's nothing to check out. Life isn't some mystical interesting experience that is worthwhile anymore. It's a fucking joke. Like a waking banal nightmare. Modern existence for most humans is hell. I don't know where we went wrong. Sometimes it seems old Ted was right. Even posting to you right now, this isn't life. Life is supposed to be something experienced, not something slept through. I've seen life for most people. Horrible. I've got to find the motivation to break out of this modal of being and If I can not I will kill myself as I really refuse to take part in this, the most dull and unfulfilling and unconnected time and version of life imaginable. Really I don't know how so many people are so calm when it's clear the individual is getting fucked so hard for the sake of the system.

Never love a woman more than she loves you. The only way to keep a woman is to make her feel replaceable. Only give a woman a max of 90% of your love, you need a little left in case she isn't shit and up and leaves.

In history books the dates of the start and end of the western civilization will be 800ad - 1914ad. The west has already collapsed we’re merely living in the wreckage. Whatever is able to rise out of this rotting and degenerative mess at this point will be something entirely new and unique.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=58eXnwsSiEA

oh, it's this thread again

the west died 4 centuries ago

>>16911002
if death was predetermined you'd be able to know the date you'd die on and the cause. but you have no such knowledge because death is a banal event such as your body not being able to function anymore with no other specifics. there is no determination in it let alone pre-determination.

>>16911010
Thank you, I've been saying this for so long. I would change the dates from about 300 AD - 1800 AD, even if the effects didn't start to show until 1914.

Some of the conclusions of "the Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times" and ones of "The Crisis of Modern World" in many ways is a terminal illness diagnosis for our world - although Guenon states that we still have some hope and we can bring the Tradition back, recent world events made me so skeptical about it happening soon and also more depressed - I think the world really goes into the devilish darkness so deep that we'll never see at least some trace of light at our century

That's all, folks!

Anyone with a Marquis de Sade chart?

Anyone got a chart for westerns? I remember finding out Lonesome Dove through it

I’ve always suspected that the eternal Anglo had some part in the more perfidious aspects of the revolution

That painting is about the 1830 revolutionn anon.

Have you seen The Notables and the Nation by Gruder or The Fall of the French Monarchy by Vovelle?

I don't know about a parallel spiritual realm, but Edelstein's The Terror of Natural Right and Vovelle's The Revolution against the Church, might give some impression of the struggle for spiritual and religious authority at the time. Chartier's The Cultural Origins of the French Revolution might help generally as well.

Glossika is a really good platform for language learning. They have a sweet black friday deal that's 1/2 off for a year. So $150/year instead of the normal $300.

Research-based and very effective.

It's founded on the premise of lexical chunking with no explicit grammar instruction. You are given sentences in your native language and then given translations for your target language. They start out very simple but then build slowly in complexity. You learn the grammar naturally as you unconsciously start learning your target language's patterns.

Although the sentences may seem random at first, you'll see you start using the patterns found within them in more complex lexical chunks later introduced.

Glossika doesn't really teach reading or writing in your target language, but that's not what it's meant for. It's meant to get you to acquire the language and speak it as fast as possible. Then you can pick up the writing and reading portion later much easier.

Its purpose is to get you doing what we do naturally in real life with our first language – listening and repeating over an extended period in limited bursts.

If you are a monolingual Anglophone it’s probably one of the most difficult there is. As people have mentioned learning to read and write is far more difficult than to speak, but even learning to speak it is very difficult because it has no structural similarity to English. You’ll be helped by the number of loan words from English there are but that runs out pretty quickly.
