How disgusting, to foist your inadequacies onto the backs of your family. If you wanted to write you would; don't blame the circumstances you find yourself in for why you consistently choose not to wield the current moment how you would with hindsight.

what a worthless fucking thread.why are you asking /lit/ for opinions on your purchasing decisions? read the book and make up your own mind you troglodyte. if you're going to kill a thread at least post something worth responding to

the definition of anything is only a generalized symbol. At a deep reductive level this breaks down and there can be no 'taxonomy of all things' as it where. What is a chair? It's a cultural-social understanding of what it is. There is no higher form of chair.

I’m pretty sure there’s some things that can help us understand what happens when we die.
To simply say nothing happens is just ignorant.

"Heading home from working out at Xclusive, and after an intense shiatsu massage, I stop at a newsstand near my building, scanning the Adults Only rack with my Walkman still on, the soothing strains of Pachelbel’s Canon somehow complementing the harshly lit, laminated photographs in the magazines I flip through. I buy Lesbian Vibrator Bitches and Cunt on Cunt along with the current Sports Illustrated and the new issue of Esquire, even though I subscribe to them and both have already arrived in the mail. I wait until the stand is empty to make my purchase. The vendor says something, motions toward his hook nose, while handing me the magazines along with my change. I lower the volume and lift one of the Walkman’s earphones up and ask, “What?” He touches his nose again and in a thick, nearly impenetrable accent says, I think, “Nose uise bleding.” I put my Bottega Veneta briefcase down and lift a finger up to my face. It comes away red, wet with blood I reach into my Hugo Boss overcoat and bring out a Polo handkerchief and wipe the blood away, nod my thanks, slip my Wayfarer aviator sunglasses back on and leave. Fucking Iranian."

Looking to get started on some good non fiction books, just finished a biography book on a musician, enjoyed it but it did feel kinda boring after a while.

The only book of his I've read is The Book on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are. I have to strongly contest the idea that our ego is something introduced to us through cultural programming and any less "natural" than the philosophy that he endorses. How does he know that NOT having an ego isn't a result of cultural programming? I see the ego as a fundamental part of human nature, not as something that is "switched on" by your surroundings.

He also doesn't cite his sources, which makes adopting his philosophy without a leap of faith extremely difficult. At one point he claims that women can have completely painless childbirth as long as birth hasn't been stigmatized as a painful process. Ok, that's great, but that's completely contrary to any birth that I've ever heard of, and I'm not going to buy into it until I've seen a study replicating his claim.

is it just me or are these stale generic threads the work of a single shit-poster trying to get 300 replies by bringing up topics that are commonly discussed
