/lit/ - Literature

For as long as I can remember, I've always suffered from checking OCD. Oh I know all of this is just silly agitations, unreasonable angst but it has grown so much over the years that it seems to me that it has vanquished every ounces of will coating my soul, the ''what if'' demon is always crawling back. I'm so sapped of this absurd hell! Sometime they tell me theres medication for this but I don't want a bandage, I want a solution. Some talked about suicide but I'm not a coward, I'm a sick but standing man. I know most of you will read this as a joke and I'll probably get the usual troll answers. It's fair, 4chan is 4chan and I don't expect to be treated differently but if by any chance one of you fathom what I'm going throught, is there any book that would help to cope with my condition, that would help me live in peace with it?

>reshape the face of literature, forevermore.
is it over bros? is there any point in trying to participate in modern culture?

I read Archetypes and the collective unconciouss a while ago and felt touched by Jung saying "Misogyny might be a product of a poor relationship with one's mother"
Are there any books about this particular theme? Not necesarily in the field of study of psychology, I'm open to novels, novellas, poems and just about anything regarding this topic, I myself want to write a short story about a dude who murders his gf in cold blood one morning because she did a gesture that reminded him too much of his shit mom.

>read a book in physical form
>download it on kindle later
>need to re-read it so it shows as completed in your library

Is there a book that covers everything that happened in WW2 in detail? I don't want to read hundreds of different books, is there one that just tells the story from start to finish of every single thing that happened?

Spirituality loses its spark after a while, but for me it's still not as boring as the alternative, so I'm stuck with it. And esotericism is appealing because I don't have to pretend to believe in the dogma of the mainstream religions.

>Read Job
Read Jung's Answer to Job. You've completely missed the point if you side with the old testament God after reading Job. You're comitting the same mistake Elihu and Job's other compatriots made when you defend Him and handwave the immorality of God away with the "He works in mysterious ways" excuse.

YHWH is the antagonist of the Book of Job, Job is morally upright and did nothing wrong. The events of Job eventually culminate in the emergence of Christ. Jesus is the emergent force that compensates for YHWH's amoral, destructive attitude toward man and reconciles it with his desire to remain just in man's eyes.

Even the greatest writers are remembered not by their works, but by a couple of out-of-context quotes yanked from them.

>gentiles are soulless qlippoth
Will I gain a soul if I convert and become a Jew? I've been realizing through my meditation practices that I probably do have no soul. It feels like shit.

I do, after I saw a journal thread on here. I tried writing down stuff every day but I realised that it was just the same thing every day so now I basically use it as a sort of Dream Journal. I think it helped me realise that I don't form strong human attachments with others. I never noticed it before I sat down and actively wrote down my thoughts but it's like I don't give a shit about anyone. I've noticed friends and family just drop out of my life and I don't really care about or miss them. Maybe I was just a bit dim, but writing a journal really helped me notice stuff more

okay, so mill argues against paternalism using a kind of epistemological argument that no one can know what is better for a person than that person themselves, and as such they should not have their interests dictated to them by the state or from other members of society. what do you think of that argument?

I don't know Big Herc beyond that the linked video or what his interests are, so i think it would be inappropriate for me to send him unsolicited book recommendations. Based on some of the book he listed (self-help), i would guess that he'd like Stoic thinkers like Epictetus, Seneca, and Aurelius. I'd imagine Augustine's confessions would also interest him. Virtue ethic would would probably suit him too, but i can't think of a text that isn't overly theoretical.

wait why are we talking about cucks now

is the current era we are living in defined by loneliness? everywhere i look people are always rrying to find a connection and human relationships seem more precarious and fleeting than ever. are there any books where i can read more about this?

what are some books about being disgusted with the ideologies and dogmas of christianity, islam, scientific materialism, fascism, neoliberalism, capitalism, and BTFO the entirety of the west?

It will be soon but it won't be that interesting. AI will never be realised, because it's simply much easier to create smartelligent PID garbage that is capable of destroying humanity without ever making it truly intelligent, like algorithm-creating algorithms that are good enough for their retarded human operators to destroy humanity by logging every human face on the planet and using them in some disastrous social engineering project.

It will be the most boring fucking things imaginable, dude. It's not gonna be anything fancy. It's going to be rich people slowly getting the rights to genetically modify their offspring, creating real racial bifurcation between rich and poor within 2-3 short generations so that rich people are all tall, elfinly symmetrical, diseaseless, dopaminergenic cybrids who live for 130 years and don't visibly age until age 50. And those people will concentrate all the fucking wealth and do the most BORING IMAGINABLE SOCIAL ENGINEERING PROJECTS, like on the level of Israel neutering Ethiopian Jews. The horrific cyberdystopia is not going to be experienced by "humanity," it will be experienced by grotesque and grotesquely overpowered boring upper middle class petit bourgeois faggots, basically Ivanka Trump, owning a shrinking underclass of ruddy niggermen slaves and using them for the most boring possible things, seriously just a stasis of how rich people live now, cultureless fucking retards

You are not going to experience Blade Runner and Tech-Com wars like in Battlefield 2142. "You" and your offspring will have lives probably comparable to today but you will be indentured servants to Ivanka 5-Trump. It's not even going to be COOL post-human feudalism, it's going to be more of this "I was born into a debt-slave family instead of one of the upper 20%, so I make coffee instead of having coffee made for me lol but it's still okay because I can also have a coffee at the end of my 7 hour shift and I get to watch algorithmically generated prole movies on my iPhone while I'm on break ;)!!" fucking garbage they have already had us plugged into since the 70s. The algorithmic culture industry is ALREADY WORKING, it doesn't need qualitative enhancement. They have ALREADY turned you into a fluoridated docile sheepman who loves to eat candy. They don't need soma because they have worthless pig slop culture and sitcoms. They don't need the brain-programming sleep speakers because you already do it fucking anyway by giving your baby an iPad playing Youtube videos AS SUGGESTED BY FUCKING ALGORITHMS for 15 hours a day anyway. They won't even need to nerve-staple you or genetically engineer us into drones because we already did it to ourselves. All they're doing to do is turn this place into even more of a playground for themselves than it already is, and we won't even notice.

Books on alienation? Bonus points if it gives a solution.

(no marxist crap please)

What are some good books on social skills?
I don't mean PUA trash, but actual books to develop my interpersonal skills and effective communication.

>just practice you autist

This has done fuck all for me, lads. I think reading a book might be better suited for my autistic brain.

Love.
