Which book helps you cope with the banality of life once you realize society is just a moderately elaborate competition to improve one's position on the social status hierarchy?

>nietzsche is the most popular philosopher today
anon, you can't honestly believe this? look at the state of the world and then tell me how he's the most popular philosopher

why is it so hard for people to realize what a radical thinker nietzsche was? he was the most fierce critique of liberal bourgeois ideals, he looked down on egalitarianism with pure contempt. given the treatment jordan peterson got from his publishing house recently, you can be assured that nietzsche would never have been published today in the first place. he would have been canceled from society, named public enemy number one

Why is it that everytime I bring up disscusions about problems with society/hierachial order/sexual dynamics/reality, normies are stuck within their confied thinking system and make you as a fool for questioning things, they usually are doctrined since childhood on religion/to trust institutes and such, they don't even seem to change interests, do these people(your avarage person) ever stop and wonder about life and reality and spirtual things or simply believe with blind eye the society doctrines, no wonder the holocoust happend, it seem like conversations with everyone feels like an if else programmed conversation, NPC material, maybe this is just from my country where people think everyone who goes to the therapist is crazy, or they pray in arabic without knowing what they are saying or belive without reading the holy books or base their entier personality on nationalism, it's so stupid man, all this small talk, forced to socialize with peole by institutions(schools, jobs) all this toxicty with trendy celebrities pop shit, social media fakery, all this clubbing bs it's off putting, does anyone feel the same?

You're barely cold, to be knowing,
to catch weaves inside all tides
and mark them out,
that is, wisdom and
withholding judgement.

You've not seen half
to give full thoughts
on what does not concern you:
your hatred impish,
character malnourished,
always prancing mind on others,
insight needn't glimmer
or bid outside of silence.

You're kidding,
thinking intellect
is more than guiding tail,
pritt stuck on heart,
with its first sin in
lie.


It's luxury to cheat,
dreaming of self's
varnished display,
sophistry,
unbound from healthy commune.

So pay no mind to 'them'
except to scratch out pretence
then privately celebrate your
hallmark oneness.


You want the truth?
And nothing but?


Be a good boy and learn you aren't
people like that,
you'd like it too
you've not seen all
in fact, far from
quit weary acts -
Life's not yet through.

Earnest but fairly samey and cliche, anon - when you speak so generally about 'passion' 'fate' 'joy' it's hard not to fall into the same limp ideas and old wisdoms we've heard time and time again. There's so much opportunity for strong and precise imagery here, but you lapse into generality too much:
'the sky...already in motion.'
'with firm, mindless devotion'
There's also too much bland clarification, you set up an image, then shove adjectives down our throat without letting the image breathe by itself, it's cheap clarity. I think you have a heart for the poetic but this needs to be whittled down to its essentials and built firmer imo. Thanks for sharing and keep writing anon!

Posting(I'm OP, this is the poem I'm basing the short on):
So you want answers kid,
you've been selected,
isn't that enough?

But first, questions:
"How do I play?"
"is this necessary?"
Why wouldn't it be?
"Would it?"
"What's it?"
"Or not?"
That's one too many,
don't piss me off.

We've audiences to entertain,
from, we're entertained.
That guy in the stands?
He's paying this thing.

The richer than riches,
in those pitch black slacks,
would only give pity,
if not to lean back,
and laugh.
To work!
Decisions!
No more practice questions.
Have you any will?
like a good contestant?
Or will you, on seventh repeat,
bolt from seat and scream
"I knew it all along!"
That's not how it works.
That's not how any of it works!
Have a hand for trying.
Here's Death.
You are wrong.
