There's no way anyone can read 100 pages of Blood Meridian while sensibly retaining all of it, right?

Garderians are obnoxious because their Ontological framework relies on large leaps of faith rather than logical conclusions. I get that this kind of reasoning is useful for certain kinds of problems but Gardenians lack the modesty to see this and I think most of them misunderstood Gardener. Walduns Ontology is much more cohesive, Waldunians are better read and seem to have a more comprehensive understanding of Waldunian principles...

I have a shelf of books but I'm too lazy to pick one off the shelf and would rather just download a PDF of it and read it from my laptop. I've realised recently that I am a victim of marketing and Waldunian Aesthetics.

You can just tell when a writer has never been in a fight before. I could never read a writer like that. If you haven't ever been in a fight and want to be a writer, you need to at least get into one otherwise everyone will know.

The more philosophy I read the more shallow I realise it all is. It's such a well from the outside looking in, but when you really step down into it you realise it's ultimately just a puddle. Then you pick up Wittgenstein and btfo everyone.

What books do pure people read? People who are too pure to communicate with other people because impurity is poison to the pure? People who wander through the entirety of their life unable to find even a single person who oscillates at the frequency they do? Is there any book for these types of people? To help them cope?

I used to get drunk and fight random people on the street for no reason. I unironically have been in over 100 fights in my life. This probably sounds like a cheap shitpost because nobody could be that crazy, but it isn't. Is there any book you can recommend for me?
