You sound just like the Communists trying to create the homo sovieticus, believing you can just morph people into whatever you want, that everything is environment: it isn't. Even the most progressive women end up losing respect for men that act feminine, yet the claim to that is 'oh we haven't gone far enough, the dreaded society still is controlling you, the revolution must continue'. It becomes unfalsifiable as there is no way to completely remove society as in influence, so you can always claim that society just needs to be changed more, wasn't changed enough. You are essentially fighting evolution. There is a very important reason women are attracted to men that act traditionally masculine - they are more likely to be able to protect them, acquire resources and these traits will be beneficial in the offspring. This has been the case forever, even in a world completely devoid of war, simply surviving against nature puts these evolutionary pressures upon humans and the women select accordingly. Tearing people away from the natural world in this over-civilised mess which literally destroys people's mental health still does not undo the genetic preferences of women, and be assured that this state we currently live in, anomalous to 99% of human history will not last long enough to remove that genetic preference in women for masculine men.

And it is not at all delusional. The idea of a matriarchal/not patriarchal feminine precursor society in prehistory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totem_and_Taboo is was popular among some in the past two centuries and accorded with their psychological and ideological beliefs. You are parroting their old shit without even knowing it. There has been zero serious evidence discovered of this supposed non-patriarchal societal structure (which of course is too far back to get any good evidence) which is exactly why it is placed in those mists of time - it is unfalsifiable - although ridiculous because it does not accord with all other societies we do have evidence of. Assuming history and prehistory (poorly known of) is the opposite to all we know is silly and requires some serious proof.

This mystical precursor to give legitimacy to ideas that have literally never worked is common, and for similar reasons has been used by many groups. The Nazis used the far-flung past to place their idealised Aryan precursor society too, and all that Hyperborean shit. It is impossible to prove or disprove conclusively, which is how they liked it.

This is rank historicism and stinks in the nostrils of any man of rational intellect.

Stop being angry at existence, men are as women have made them over long evolution by sexual selection, and they did so because of the reality of human existence: natural selection.

May you find a man that is able to put your histrionic and childish immature femininity in order.

>Anon mentions "spiritual virility."
>Lefty-anon thinks "god hates you" is viable form of attack.
The latter is obviously NGMI.

Just finished the red rising trilogy and enjoyed the ride. What's next?

Really wanted to give Kingkiller Chronicles a try but seems like the ending is never coming so not too sure it's a good idea.

STEMcels, math bugmen and le engineers are literally IT nerd tier. I want nothing to do with these soulless mongoloids. The fact that society deems these disciplines as 'reserved for the smart people' is beyond stupid. I have NEVER met a reasonable, let alone wise STEMfag.

philosophy, history and the humanities are the only respectable disciplines.
Unfortunate they have been invaded by US negro-centric culture so they are pretty much ruined too. Only a handful of people in these disciplines are still worthy of respect.

What are the best still continuing series? I'm looking to pick up series (particularly but not exclusively sci/fant) that are yet to end.

Irrevocably based. It would approach the Ancient Greek style if they removed the crude rhyme scheme and had some concept of meter.

Eat 6-12 blended raw eggs a day with OJ and a dash of cream, eat red meat and spinach/kale. Sun your balls (seriously) for 15 minutes. Stay hydrated. Exercise (cardio or lifting, just get moving.) Stay the fuck away from alcohol. When all of these are on point I feel great but I'm ADHD af so I still take pills which helps me. I finally have the concentration to read now.

I see

Are there any authors who wrote about blasting noxious farts in their personal lives? Preferably in a celebratory tone, but I'm also interested in writers who saw it as a curse. Which authors do you think had the nastiest in the chamber?

>the people will inevitably rise up and seize the means of production and distribution of goods and create a stateless classless society
>this vague theory translates into real life as a complete gargantuan scale reworking of of society down to the smallest details of how people live
>gargantuan scale reworking of of society down to the smallest details of how people live and the means of production and distribution of goods while simultaneously keeping the lights on and the food and water coming and upholding a functional economy inevitably requires the most extreme totalitarian measures of a completely centralized power
>communally owned" instantly turns into "publicly owned" by the administrative class
>here's your stateless and classless society bro

also how is it that Marx wrote so much about class struggle throughout the ages but seemed to completely ignore or hand wave away problems regarding every single "plebeian revolution" throughout history? If he was actually as knowledgeable of the history of class conflict as he and others claim he was then literally the only explanation for his takes on economic/societal evolution is that he was a con artist looking to prop up a new ruling class

Baroque is so good brehs, especially the early-mid period where it has some bleed over from the renaissance era that gives it a sort of rustic feel while still having the regal elegance that defines the era

There are few things better in this world than finding a piece of literature or classical music that you genuinely enjoy

Greekfags, I'd really like to take the mythpill. I've recently become interested. I know famous names of course but I never really knew the stories behind them, save for bits of the Illiad and the Odyssey. Are there any good books about greek myth?

But I've already been here longer than that, I just don't remember tripcodes that easily. Maybe my will to form a parasocial relationship is too weak.

This will be vague, but what do you say when somebody you care about is extremely dismissive towards anything slightly more artistic/artsy/philosophical? How do you get them to be more tolerant and understanding? How do you convince them to not dismiss everything instantly? Whether it's movies, music or literature, for example: David Lynch, 20th century classical music and philosophical novels in these respective categories. It doesn't matter what your personal opinion on these is, they're just examples and most definitely dismissed by normies.
Any books that touch on this subject?
