>>10156788
Yep. You must be smart. Not going to explain your POV, not even hint at why you hold it. Just going to talk stupid words out of your face and then leave so you don't have to back up anything you say.

Typical rand critic. I don't even care about rand, I care about objectivism, of which you cannot hold a candle to its greatness.

Anyone who has any taste in good prose would never be able to make it through any of Rand's work.

>>10156863
I'm OP and I'm admitting rand is a shit writer

too bad we're talking about objectivism and not the quality of her literary abilities

>>10156864
what the fuck does this even mean?


are you just using literature as a prop to look smart and sophisticated and "effay"

fucking retard, kill yourself

>>10156868
What are you saying you dumb fucking nigger? I am saying that we're discussing objectivism as a philosophy, which is constructed as a whole through the personification of it in characters in her books. You read the books for the philosophy, for the translation into real life, not for her ability to masterfully navigate the world of top tier prose

>>10156863
And average prose detracts from the merit of the political philosophy it expounds upon, how? You should work on your attention span when it comes to this type of literature.

Great book

so what do you guys think about star wars books

where to start

what do i def need to read

Rand is philisophically and socially wrong about almost everything. She misuses ontological concepts as epistemological ones and her politics are a bastardization of Nietzsche. Not to mention her advocacy of capitalism papers over the incompatibility with globalization and Denys Marx's biggest critisism of capitalism, the tragedy of the commons. Anticapitalist is the only true way to go.

>>10156935
>anticapitalist
capitalism is literally the only system that supports a man reaping what he sows. Modern day capitalism isn't a result of the nature of capitalism, but the horrible state-corporate relationship that allows certain people to dominate the economy and significantly thrive over others.

>>10156928
Le Mythe is my favorite work of nonfiction. I don't care what /lit/ says. I love Camus.

>>10156917
>it's so aggravatingly poorly written

How about not sperging out and reading for the sake of learning about what Rand is advocating, considering everything written is still in the realm of easy comprehensibility? Are you also incapable of reading technical manuals because the prose is too cold and basic? Philosophy isn't supposed to be enjoyed, it's supposed to be fathomed.

>statism
Statism is only a symptom of broader capitalism. The casinos of walstreet and corperations will still thrive under the construction of utility margins and will eventually heat up the earth and let it melt.

>>10156924

this randbro gets it
some people will just never be able to enjoy the beauty of living through objectivism and it makes me sad

give your life away (literally) and live in ignorance, like a falling leaf with no idea where the wind will drift it next

>>10156941
How is a man allowed to reap what he sows so long as a corporation or any business heigharchy exists that alienates man from his work.

>>10156953
>says "no arguments"
>says "I dislike the philosophy, but i agree with its merits"

you are literally the biggest fucking retard in this thread. Why are you here? What argument am I going to bring to you saying the equivalent of "I don't like the pie, but some parts are tasty"

>>10156958
Example? Right now, the only thing alienating people from their work is the massive amount of government taxes and money printing going on. This is a problem with the state, not with objectivism. This would not exist in a free market society, which objectivism ultimately encourages.

>objectivism is good
>the free market is good

Those who believe in false scripture will be left behind in the March of history

>>10156977
0 arguments against the free market, by the shitposter #10156977

Probably works that require thought to get through. Anything by Fyodor Dostoevsky would be a good start :).

>>10156966
Lol i agree currency alienates people from their work

It commodifies everything and reduces an object from its utility to it's value

Taxes don't alienatepeople from their work, the capitalist system does

Lets say im a chair builder
A man hires me to build chairs in his chair factory on an assembly line
On this assembly line there are three people including myself who are all paid $10 to build a chair ($30)
then my boss sells this chair $50

How am I reaping what I sow if I
1. Do not get to keep the chair even if I had built it myself (one person being paid $30)
2. Am not being paid the full value of my work, how am I getting a fair wage if the value of the work (the chair) is $50 but the boss pays his employees only $30
3. I never get to experience the crafting of the chair and am alienated from the process

>>10156897
This

>>10156997
I'm not the original guy you're arguing with, but I see those points made often today even though they were essentially refuted over a century ago by economists such as Ludwig von Bohm-Bawerk. Check out some excerpts of his work Capital and Interest or Karl Marx and the Close of His System. :)

Is the ecosystem not an argument? No corperation has the incentive to sanction off the environment or stop selling oil under a free market, or even regulated capitalism. This is the tragedy of the commons.

>>10156997
because if you're standing in a fucking assembly line putting screw A in fucking hole B you deserve to be getting paid $10. What does he have to do? He created the fucking business. He took the money out to buy the building, materials, to hire your fucking ass. He spends all day in meetings and contracts to raise sales, find new products, revitalize old products, analyze numbers, make critical decisions about company directions
And he makes 3x what you do, which is of course, standing in a fucking assembly line and putting legos together.

Why do engineers get paid more than electricians? One puts together legos and one thinks of the lego sets

>>10157007
Fuck sakes sorry, operating on an hour's sleep. Eugen Böhm von Bawerk*. No idea why I thought his name was Ludwig.

TRULEY anticapitalism is the only way to fight for ecology, and stop global warming which will doom the human race.

>>10156997
did you pay for the machines?
the factory rent?
the startup costs?

alienation from the process is a buzzphrase that has no basis in anything

>>10157011
However I am not reaping what I am sowing am I?

>>10157022
But am I reaping what im sowing if im not being paid the full value of my work?

>>10157024
you are receiving the full value of your labour

>>10156997
>this is what commies actually believe
>my boss get more pay then me. OOK OOK. I take stone and put on OTHER STONE.. He big DUMB DUMB. I PUSH the stone. NOT HE!!.. HE walk around SPEAK with OTHER DUMB DUMB...FUCK..OOK need equal pay...OOK feel life not fair...OOK must shitpost zizek on ancient cave wall painting messageboard!

>>10157029
Okay so if my boss pays me $30 to build a chair and sells it for $50 how is that the full value of my Labour

If I were being paid the full value of my labor a profit margin would be nonexistent

>>10157026
>>10157024
you literally have no place in this discussion if you do not know what that saying means

seriously, the childr-*ahem*, sorry, the young philosophers table is over there

>>10157030
The only reason that people support neolib/randian policies is because they believe they too have a shot of being part of the elite. The elite acknowledge this. Look up the 2005 Citigroup plutonomy memo.

No one cares about the environment smh

>capitalism will perish under it's own weight along with the human race.

>>10157033
It seems to me you need to sit at the childs table since you can even refute a basic Marxist argument

I didn't even have to pull out ecomarxism

>>10157032
is the bosses labour and capital worth nothing?
you are receiving the full value of your labour because you are being paid the amount you agreed upon

>>10157032
Well why are you assuming that the labour theory of value is true? It was dumped and replaced with marginalism and the subjective theory of value in the late 19th century for a reason.

>>10157043
what argument? You aren't doing slave labor you fucking nigger, you're putting legos together in an assembly line. It takes no skill to do. It's something you can hire an illegal immigrant with no skills and subhuman IQ for. This is why you get paid $10. Because you reap the fruits of your labor. Which is worth about $10 an hour.

>The Martian by Andy Weir
>The Humans by Matt Haig
>Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

Bought these tree today

>subhuman

Ok. Nice job proving his argument further. Labor alienates man from man again.

>>10157040
so? i'll be dead by then

>>10157045
The boss has no place in the transaction he only exists to make profit for himself

The transaction could continue without him

>I'll be dead then

Ok then, let your fellow human die. Let violence rule the world and let yourself become a collective slave in the free market. Man, objectivist utopia sounds amazing

Anything philosophical or unique in its lens will probably be considered effay. Try A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan--great cold and austere aesthetic, with tinges of shock. Brilliant. For something strictly artsy, try House of Leaves, or The Tennis Court Oath (if you're into poetry). There is another book, Sartor Resartus, which is a metafictional account about The Philosophy of Clothes, by Thomas Carlyle. It's not like Benjamin's fashion-as-a-language bullshit, it's more about what he does with the text, but it's a really interesting lens to look at things, so that's cool.

I'm with, OP. This one is actually a pretty good read, even if her literary style is not to one's liking. It's a fairly concise summary of her beliefs and gives insight on a number of topics that will likely be relevant for a while.

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. Constant detailed descriptions of high class outfits, delicious meals, and an all-around air of money and sex. Not to mention a compelling plot with actual substance to offset the slight pretensions that Murakami throws in. Because it's a translation, it's got some silly phrasing here and there, but it doesn't degrade the quality of some of the prose.

>read dat shit negro

>>10156997
Your first two points are misguided and come from ignorance in how a business works, and your third frankly doesn't even make any sense.

Did you design the chair? Did you go out and collect the materials? Do you own the building it was built in? Would you know how to build a chair if somebody (most likely your boss) hadn't taught you how to? Are you the one who found a retailer or customer willing to purchase the chair?

this is where the other $20 of value comes from. You are assuming that the full value of your work is $50 because that's how much your employer will sell the chair for, which is incorrect. The value of your work was exactly what you were paid. You didn't do all of the things I named above which had to be done in order for the chair to be sold so you don't deserve to make $50.

It's shocking how little you understand about business, value, and economics. Do you really think every employee who works on a product along the line to it's completion should be paid the full cost of the product?

>>10157075
let me get this straight. The boss, who got the raw materials for the workers, taught them how to make a chair, and then found someone to sell the chair to isn't necessary to the transaction.

That makes complete sense, he totally shouldn't get any cut of the price of the chair.

Every man should have read this before the age of 18

just to add a small point to this point.

>>10164959
yeah you dont post that shit in a rand thread dude
HTWFIP is pretty much "how to be friends with everyone", which, contrary to popular belief, is a really terrible thing. Not everybody is supposed to like you. You're not supposed to rub everybody the right way. You can't please everyone and the sooner you realize that the sooner you'll be making better quality friends and have greater quality relationships with the people that DO like you, instead of wasting time reading books about how to convert people who don't like you.

I'd say 1Q84. They were my first Murakami books and it got me hooked. The atmosphere is amazing.

1Q84 is objectively one of his worst works. He has a very specific prose and style that's better suited to shorter novels and short stories. That is very much lost at ~900 pages. Hell, I don't know how Wind Up Bird Chronicle worked as well as it did. 1Q84 feels as if someone took his regular writing style and pacing, and stretched it out over the course of 3 novels. I do not mean this in a good way. Everything is spread so thin. It's not a terrible read, but you will get bored.

Read Norwegian Wood first.

Oh, and currently reading this. Picked it up because shiny, but I'm damn glad I did. It's fucking weird. The title really does it justice.

NW is more accessible.

>more caring about what people see you reading instead of what's good literature
sometimes this board sickens me.

read 'Atomised' by Michel Houellebecq, it's pretty good

I love Dostoyevsky's books. While I really disagree with a lot of his existentialist views, his psychological breakdowns of all the characters in his books are really great esp in The Idiot. I just wanted to voice my opinion and I'm not confident enough to do it on lit

Awesome, just picked up The Idiot to start getting into Dostoyevsky finally. Currently finishing up pic related.
