This guy got his ass beat a few times just to make you guys insecure. If that's not agape I don't know what is. Maybe the Chads and Tyrones of the world fuck everyone's wives and girlfriends because they don't have gf themselves. They're permanently stuck as pic related. Help a bro' out, tell it to him how it is, you don't know how he may thank you one day. Helping out with your horny chick is one way, so I don't see the big dealio but whatever.

>when Casanova is a priest and over the course of several visits he falls completely in love with the beautiful, innocent, virgin servant who comes to his room every day but struggles to reject making advances because he sees it as betraying his vocation and her innocence, reasoning that if he truly loves her he will protect her chastity

I was NOT expecting these feels from this book

Should I even renew my platinum membership?

I've read the skeptics, books like Outlines of Skepticism, but they don't provide anything else than intellectual tools to question everything. Some anons have also recommended Nick Land but does CCRU really have anything valuable to provide?
Previous thread was >>/lit/thread/19871763 but it didn't mention books (unlike this one) so it was deleted
Janny, books that go against desert cults are still literature.

Which books will set me free from Abrahanism? Not the op from last time, but the discussion turned interesting so I want to continue it.

I'm interested in the anon who used Darwinism to set free from Abrahanism, because I don't understand how I can find spirituality by reading physics, geometry and other topics.

Here's the previous thread >>/lit/thread/19871763

What are some literature with loneliness as the main theme (preferably with homosexual overtones because I find that hot).

>From about the age of forty until his death Freud was absolutely celibate “in order to sublimate the libido for creative purposes,” according to his biographer Ernest Jones.
Does this actually helps ones work?

My favorite book is the encyclopaedia Britannica, 1911 edition.
What's yours?

>space and time are mind independent as modern physics showed a fucking century ago

Why do you believe this?

You realize Nazi Germany used Newton's physics just fine to land V2's on England right? That your whole argument has no grounding in the truth, but rather is a politically motivated belief. It is indubitable that space and time are forms of my intuition and have no existence outside of my mind.

I'm a philosopher, not a physicist. I think the physicists are mentally retarded downies that can't understand Berkeley much less Kant or even Hegel. I don't care what the math says. Godel proved that math may not be proving anything at all.

Books about getting a waifu?

The death of the butterfly is inseparable from the death of her eternal dwellings. The long rotting /lit/ horse has at last been stuffed with dynamite and set alight.

How do English professors who teach freshmen level courses not want to shoot themselves when they grade an entire class worth of essays? Just peer reviewing one essay written in ebonics or by a retard is painful enough

Where do I start?

I fly up to Olympus on light wings on account of Love, because a boy wishes not to enjoy his youth with me. - Anacreon

If you're unhappy with life then blaming it on the system isn't going to help. Socialism won't cure your depression either anon.

The professor's criticism is that I did not explain my analysis enough.

I enjoy the feeling of talking to people in real life, especially people I know or people who are from my community.

There are so many small details in real life conversations that appeal to me, including thinking of jokes / humorous replies spontaneously, sharing anecdotes and experiences in a way that allows each person to speak in turn while the other listens. I enjoy the idea of being out at night with people of both sexes, and seeing someone I like and showing interest in them (e.g., by looking at them in a subtly different way) and the flirtation which sometimes takes place if you both like each other. In situations like that, the fact that most people desire a romantic partner feels normal and isn't something to be ashamed about or become distressed by (i.e., because you are single).

During my most recent conversations in real life, I have an unfortunate tendency to refer to internet videos and so on in a way that interrupts the flow of the conversation. I don't like that I do that, but my frame of reference is mostly online now.

All my problems and issues seem more more remote when I am talking to someone in real life. My melancholy and defensiveness are replaced by a kind of innocent good-naturedness. It feels like I am forming connections with people, and embracing the absurdity of life in a healthy way. As a child I was quite sociable and could make people laugh.

But I rarely talk to anybody in real life any more.
