I don't know what bourgeois means: the post

We still have our unhappy troll with us! How sweet!!

>I was alluding to the fact that within every subject exists, already, introductory texts, and their subsequent teachings; within many a philosophy text you will find methods of learning and directing formula towards which fluent understanding derives.

Some foundations are constant throughout disciplines. Some foundations are purely mythological, see your average intro. economics textbook's history of money as barter > currency > debt. Whether there's an introduction or not makes no difference, because you can get involved in a field without understanding the big picture, and that's something that seems to plague most disciplines in stagnation.

Understanding shouldn't be more than partially related to a particular context of one field or another. That's how you get academic inbreeding and ideological hackery.

>This thing you're doing is but mere procrastination.

I'm studying chemistry at a top-tier university right now, and I'm taking plenty of electives in social sciences, humanities, etc. Not evading work by any means.

>If a theory exists after your dedicated study then by all means post it.

Of course it exists. I've never heard of somebody who didn't think that learning one subject helped their understanding of another subject. I've never heard somebody deny that analogies exist. But rarely have I heard somebody try to build upon that idea into something more substantial. Hence this thread.

>But don't expect the mere conception of a yet accomplished feat to be respected by anyone with even a single ounce of skepticism.

God forbid somebody talks about something they've noticed while reading that doesn't seem to get a lot of attention. What did I think /lit/ was about? Talking about books?

>lol if you're interpreted my post as shitposting

You're doing nothing but posting contrarian drivel. I even provided an example of a book that would MOST fit what I seek to accomplish, and that was a Trivium, and yet you've done nothing to build off of that. That's basically pretentious shitposting. Fuck off if you're not going to make even the slightest attempt to engage with the material.

I'm genuinely confused at how someone that supposedly reads (which is ultimately a form of self-improvement) also thinks being fit/lifting doesn't fall under the same wing of progress under self.

You're a bitter sudo m8. Go post some neechee quotes on your insta

If you take that statement as literal or essential to Marxism, you know nothing about Marxism. It's a popular slogan coined by Marx, not an element of his theory. You have to distinguish between stylistic elements of Marx's prose and his actual ideas.
>inb4 "then he's a bad writer"
All philosophers do this, and many STEM writers do it too. Theories would be easier to understand without embellishments, but they'd be much less compelling.

>In Jackson Pollock's drip paintings, as in nature, certain patterns are repeated again and again at various levels of magnification. Such fractals have varying degrees of complexity (or fractal dimension, called D), ranked by mathematicians on a series of scales of 0 to 3. A straight line (fig. D=1) or a flat horizon, rank at the bottom of a scale, whereas densely interwoven drips (fig. D=1.8) or tree branches rank higher up. Fractal patterns may account for some of the lasting appeal of Pollock's work. They also enable physicist Richard Taylor to separate true Pollocks from the drip paintings created by imitators and forgers. Early last year, for instance, an art collector in Texas asked Taylor to look at an unsigned, undated canvas suspected to be by Pollock. When Taylor analyzed the painting, he found that it had no fractal dimension and thus must have been by another artist.

>the black Ethiopian jews

They made that up in order to be allowed to emigrate to Israel. Only liberal sects accept converts. I know this is hard for liberals to understand, but there are some things that you're just born into, things that cant be socially "constructed" however you see fit. For example Hinduism accepts no converts. You don't have a caste? You're not a Hindu. If you don't like it tough shit.
