There is no book. Investing and trading in finance is better understood as a trade (as in a type of work) rather than a field of study. Can you imagine reading a book about woodwork other than a simple guide or encyclopaedia? Learn about it by doing it.

The thread could have just started by recommending/having a discussion about literature, instead it opened with hostility and you wanna cry about moids being mean to you, de bonne foi(d).

Don't go off your meds for some midwits on /lit/, meds generally only really help with your overall energy unless they are anti-psychotics, and if they are anti-psychotics especially don't go off of them. People can shit on medication all they want but at the end of the day a doctor with a medical degree is the one who prescribes, and they know better than some stuffy retard who spends all day telling people how they got filtered by some esoteric bullshit.

What even explains a mindset like this? Like what deep seated pathological shit do you have to have going on to think like this? I hate to take cheap shots at one's mental health, but I can see no other explanation for it.

I started reading The Black Swan this week but I can't get past the beginning. Like I imagine it gets better further in but the first part is fucking insufferable. He keeps saying "My views formed from my childhood in Lebanon and I won't bore you with the details" and then he proceeds to spend the entire next chapter boring you with the details of adolescence in Lebanon and how he likes sticking feathers up people's noses and how he thought Lebanon was paradise but "oh no a Black Swan" and it devolves into the same shit that's historically been going on in that region for millennia. How far into the book do I have to read before he stops talking about "muh shattered Lebanese utopian worldview" and starts actually talking about something interesting?

His diagnosis is fairly spot on but his solution is pretty much nonexistent. He gives vague theories on how to solve the problems he's revealed to you but there's no physical, material answer. So you're left trying to figure out how the fuck to actualize the overturning of the bourgeoisie and the creation of a proletarian dictatorship and every attempt to do that thus far has been a massive failure. Of course you also have to realize that when people like Peterson refer to "Cultural Marxism", they're not referring to a classical interpretation that you're going to find around here and that you seem to be coming to. They're more referring to the modern Neo-Marxist interpretations popular among most young leftists nowadays deriving from French post-structuralists like Jacques Derrida and critical theorists like Walter Benjamin.

Traditional fascism was also a bit psuedo-Marxist in that it recognized class warfare and realized that the bourgeoisie were responsible for a lot of the bad shit afflicting modern man. Their answer however was obviously different. I think it's interesting though, if you go onto /pol/ (obviously ignoring nu/pol/ Trump masturbation) or onto right-wing twitter, the rhetoric is almost exactly what a Classical Marxist would say as far as disdain for bourgeoisie-led capitalism, only where Classical Marxists would deride fascists as being bourgeoisie stooges you now have the far right deriding Neo-Marxists as bourgeoisie stooges. I mean fuck, look at the whole Soros angle (which has gained conservanormie status at this point). While obviously they hate the leftists he funds, they outright identify him (the ultimate modern bourgeoisie) as the cause of their problem.

Black Prism is S tier, the whole series is really. I read though it, then got a Graphic Audio version of the series from my GF for my Bday, I was skeptical but I actually found it was really complimentary to the story.

Normally wouldn't recommend an audiobook, but this was the exception.

You like what you like, but when you try to justify it like this you just come across as a retard.

What happens to ideologies when death is more and less present in a society? Does anyone have enough literature experience to a generalization?
