Is /lit/ actually smart? Ya'll seem to be obsessed with the Greeks.

Have you ever noticed that any attempt to affirm the reality of change and multiplicity occurs within the ever-present and unchanging continuum of the Now?

What are /lit/'s thoughts are Parmenides' notion of "that it is" and "what-is"? I personally found it all very interesting (if a bit difficult to grasp at first). Who are some other good western philosophers besides the other Greeks that discuss this concept?

If anything i'd love to jump straight into Descartes but the chances of me going back are unlikely or maybe more likely as I'd have a better appreciation for it? Not sure.

Politically I'm a populist-nationalist, so:
Burnham
Lasch
Sam Francis

Philosophically I find weak metaphysical solipsism and chronogeometric fatalism to be very convincing, so:

On Nature - Parmenides
Tractatus Logicus Philosophicus - Wittgenstein
Dream, Death, and the Self - Valberg
Rules and Private Language - Kripke
Foundations of Space-Time Theories: Relativistic Physics and the Philosophy of Science - Friedman
Time and Physical Geometry - Hilary Putnam

my metaphysics informs my ethics so I don't really care
