It was interesting but it didn't do anything for me. The first third was by far the best one. As soon as the author started throwing in gunpowder and the re-emergence of pre-collapse society I saw exactly where it's going.
I also remember the collapse of civilization being described as the "great simplification" or something, wherein all the dumb people rise up against the intellectuals. Pretentious bullshit.
No really satisfying conclusion, either. I mean – besides beating you down with analogy to the Irish Monks saving Roman civilization, what exactly is the point of the book? The cyclical nature of civilization? First of all, it's completely bullshit and ahistorical. Second, it's there are less retarded ways of telling that story without feeling meandering.
I also remember there being something about the Last Jew or something, which felt like the author shoehorning in his stupid christfag views.

>he thinks "the logical, efficient thing" isn't a matter of convention
haha, individualist anarchist libertardians are so stupid. You think you have some kind of private autonomous spontaneity that is completely cut off from the convention you are born into. You are participating in ideas. These ideas possess you, you do not possess them.

You're literally living through it dude. People are confined to their homes right now. Schools and workplaces are becoming remote, and they're going to realize their bottom line is going to improve if they keep it this way and stop leasing all of that precious office space. We're also in the middle of a fucking economic meltdown, and an easy solution to "housing costs" is compression, density increase. Who is the schizo? Who is the one living in a different world?

Here's some real world advice so that you spare your kid some trauma and he ends up hating you less:
Just get two lists for your country - one with the most common names overall and one with the most common names for babies in a recent year. Ignore the top 20 because that's normie names and focus on the 30-50 range. Now remove the meme black and Muslim and Latino names and pick a normal name for your child.

You literally cannot stop transhumanism. Humans always strive for the good. God is Good. They will become gods one way or another. That Platonic alogrithm is sealed.

further - The swallowing of all human social relations to the commodity form renders things that cannot be easily profited from as meaningless, pointless, and useless, in the eyes of many.

The bar for success at the undergraduate level is extremely low, you can write like you have an IQ of 80 and English is your second language and still pass. Even in the English Major programs, they care way more about structure and argumentation than they do grammar and sentence structure; in fact, grammar and the associated elements are usually only 10% of the paper’s grade.

> Bullshit thesis
> Find textual “evidence” you can claim proves the bullshitted thesis
> Strong topic sentences that act to state the main point of the ensuing paragraph
> Follow each quote or source with a sentence explaining how it relates to your main argument (what it demonstrates etc.)
> Last sentence of each paragraph acts to conclude the main argument of that paragraph in a way that relates it to the next main point
> Essay’s conclusion paragraph restates thesis like a 10th grader then discusses the significance of the thesis in broader potential terms.

Raskalnikov (I think it’s called) from Dostoy’s “Crime and Punishment”.

Severus Snape.

Cain, as in “Cain and Abel”.

Best E-Reader?

Have way too many physical books. Not really interested in color capability because most of my reading is historical.

Seems legit just make sure you’re not an undisciplined piece of shit; actually do reading on the side. At least try to, maybe by picking a niche field of literature or branch of philosophy and going deep on specifically that.

Guys, my prof has offered extra credit if I can bring in some good Greek memes — preferably those of Socrates/Plato. Dumping what I have so far:

>recommending OP read all this fucking shit
starting with the Greeks is mostly a meme, there are only a few selected dialogues that you need to read from the pre-Socratics through to Aristotle and some of the Aristotelians like Thomas Aquinas and Avicenna to situate yourself within the concerns that eventually get picked up by the Early Moderns -- anything more than that is completely superfluous unless you want to get into an in-depth study of Greek philosophy and be like a classicist.

Perhaps I should make an infograph based on the syllabi I had when I was an undergrad.
