As my college nutrition professor once said "there are no great diets, the only good ones are ones you can stick to". If you must choose a plan, use one you think you can stick to.

It's really just about counting calories. Calories in vs calories out. That's what matters, everything else is just window dressing.Or, I guess also don't eat a lot of fast food.

"I think that democratic communities have a natural taste for freedom: left to themselves, they will seek it, cherish it, and view any privation of it with regret. But for equality, their passion is ardent, insatiable, incessant, invincible: they call for equality in freedom; and if they cannot obtain that, they still call for equality in slavery. They will endure poverty, servitude, barbarism – but they will not endure aristocracy. This is true at all times, and especially true in our own. All men and all powers seeking to cope with this irresistible passion, will be overthrown and destroyed by it. In our age, freedom cannot be established without it, and despotism itself cannot reign without its support.""Democracy In America" Alexis De TocquevilleBook 2.Influence Of Democracy On The Feelings Of AmericansChapter I: Why Democratic Nations Show A More Ardent And Enduring Love Of Equality Than Of LibertyWhy people would rather live under equal tyranny than have aristocracy?

>>18209624Democracy will always devolve into a Orwellian total state, or a soft-Orwellian information state. How anyone can think popular consensus is a good engine for national level political decision making after the disaster that was the 1900s is beyond me.

how do i get into mysticism?
bump for interests
>>18217135Ignore the cringe-tier Evola recommendations and so forth. Evelyn Underhill and FC Happold aren't bad as far as general introductions go, even if they might seem a bit dated If you are interested in Christian Mysticism I would strongly recommend Bernard McGinn - he is the gold standard in this realm, and his Essential Writings compilation is a great place to start
>>18217135Jus believe in God and that America is the best country in the world. There you are, mysticism
Take Saint Teresa of Avila as your teacher. She is one of the greatest mystics in history, and she actually wrote a fair bit about mysticism.

I'm looking for fiction written in the 1950s-1960s postwar era, related to the events of WWII. Things like 'Closely Watched Trains,' and 'This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen.' I've come to realize that historical fiction set in WWII written by modern writers is either overly sanitized or almost fantasy-like or focuses too much on fictional, overdramatic romances than capturing real experiences.Any recommendations? Or if anyone is up for a discussion on modern WWII historical fiction and how it has evolved from postwar fiction, that too.
If you don't mind gay characters, I recommend The Charioteer by Mary Renault. It follows a wounded British soldier in a military hospital during the war. First published in 1953. Quite nice novel.
Does anyone know the source of this short story? I can't remember where I read it:It's basically about a prisoner that manages to escape his cell, but his new house found outside starts feeling like a limit to what he can do, a new prison. Then he flees to live in nature, but nature too starts feeling like a prison, so he goes around the world, but then the world feels like a prison. Eventually he understands the prison is within himself, and willingly goes back to his cell and meditates for the rest of his life.

No. Read your books.
>>18219779Borges said it was better to write a summary of a book rather than waste time writing the whole book. Better also to glance at a cover than to read a whole book. The idea you form of it will be probably be more interesting anyway
Has the dust finally settled? Can we talk about this with all the autism now?How was this and all the other books this dude wrote?It’s the first (or at least most memeable) instance of anyone from this board attempting to write a book from this board. What did you guys think? No meme answers please.
>>18217095No there is. Call of the Arcade was pretty much a string of increasingly ridiculous twists.
>>18213207How can I get those books? I'm curious. English is not my native language but it will be a nice training too.

>“Christ exemplifies the archetype of the self. He represents a totality of a divine or heavenly kind, a glorified man, a son of God sine macula peccati, unspotted by sin”.>“If we see the traditional figure of Christ as a parallel to the psychic manifestation of the self, then the Antichrist would correspond to the shadow of the self, namely the dark half of the human totality, which ought not to be judged too optimistically. So far as we can judge from experience, light and shadow are so evenly distributed in man’s nature that his psychic totality appears, to say the least of it, in a somewhat murky light. The psychological concept of the self, in part derived from our knowledge of the whole man, but for the rest depicting itself spontaneously in the products of the unconscious as an archetypal quaternity bound together by inner antinomies, cannot omit the shadow that belongs to the light figure, for without it this figure lacks body and humanity. In the empirical self, light and shadow form a paradoxical unity. In the Christian concept, on the other hand, the archetype is hopelessly split into two irreconcilable halves, leading ultimately to a metaphysical dualism—the final separation of the kingdom of heaven from the fiery world of the damned.”>“It is, in fact, so one-sidedly perfect that it demands a psychic complement to restore the balance. This inevitable opposition led very early to the doctrine of the two sons of God, of whom the elder was called Satanaël. The coming of the Antichrist is not just a prophetic prediction—it is an inexorable psychological law whose existence, though unknown to the author of the Johannine Epistles, brought him a sure knowledge of the impending enantiodromia.”J- Jung bros? I'm scared.

>>18219191His hyper individuation is extremely Satanic.
>>18216215>This inevitable opposition led very early to the doctrine of the two sons of God, of whom the elder was called Satanaël.That's a 12th century Gnostic belief which originated in Bulgaria. Hardly "very early," and hardly evidence that his theory of such a "perfect complement" "demands" anything. Jung was such a pseud, and his followers are worse.
>>18219251He literally said Christ was a mere archetype.
Name authors that never attended university and wrote amazing literature. Pic is the first one that comes to mind.
>>18218345It didn’t really matter to me either. I just felt like a retard and didn’t want to face my family as a dropout or be a NEET. It was a huge mistake in retrospect.
You mean the majority of all writers?
>>18218680No, just writers of amazing literature.

I'll be honest, I kind of didn't mind the initial lockdown because I actually got some really good work done. Being cooped up at home for six weeks caused me to start working seriously on a big project of mine that I'd been meaning to work on for a long time. Fortunately, that motivation has been retained as things have gotten back to normal.So I'm honestly grateful for the (brief) lockdown I endured. Fortunately I also live in Texas, where we've basically been open uninterrupted since June of last year. So I've had an easier time of it than a lot of people.

Is there a book on the "ANARCH" that was not written by an 80 year old dude?I really like the concept but it is painfully obvious that Jünger was really old when he wrote this. To a young man the work seems very geriatric.Specifically paging Jüngerfag for input.
>>18217900Doubt.
>>18209899>preussiska anarkisterWhere would you find this?
>>18201588Sounds like an elaborate cope
>>18217900Based.
>>18201588That was just Jünger coping with the fact that he didn't fight the Nazis when they killed his son.

>>18217873Hah similar situation here. I think the lockdown really fucked me up, I can't put 2 and 2 together without taking some prescription amphetamines and eating/sleeping are also really hard. Was pretty popular not that long ago (still in college) and even brought this really hot girl who modeled to prom- she was crazy but still. No shot now unless I recover well for months on end
Read The Sluts by Dennis Cooper in a day, great fucking book.So in saying that it got me thinking; what are some good books that show a fairly negative view/dark view of the seedy underbelly of the LGBT community?
