It's mostly third or fourth hand Evola, bits of theosophy gossip and occult shop talk, Arctic Home in the Vedas. There's a cottage industry of ancient Baltic Aryan Empire stuff. I have one I will post later if the thread's still up, I'm at some whore's place atm.

What is Life? by Schrodinger
Physics and Philosophy: The Revolution in Modern Science by Heisenberg
Anything by Freeman Dyson
Superintelligence by Bostrom was a fun read, kind of a blend of sci-fi and epistemology of AI
Rupert Sheldrake is cool for the morphic resonance thing
Any of Whitehead's pre-Process and Reality writings like Concept of Nature, Science and the Modern World, Adventures of Ideas

There are a lot of threads that should be in here right now.

If you want pop Poli-Sci try The Dictator's Handbook.

I bought Oblomov like a year ago (I was mostly focusing on Greeks all 2020) and I was going to start reading it but after doing some research I found out the version I have isn't that good (this one http://www.feedbooks.com/book/10/oblomov ). Should I just read something else and wait to get a decent copy of Oblomov or should I just read this one?

Everymans or Modern Libary edition of In Search of Lost Time?

>a subset of material historicism in environmental historicism
Considering it's linearly equivalent to biological historicism I can see how liberals fostered nazism (to include the other obv material historicism).

Which edition of Thomas Browne's works?

I know everyone is gonna make fun of me but i actually care about her like as a friend kind of way. I mean she is attractive and i get jealous of other guys and had to just get past all the sexual experience but after that I like her at the end of the day. Not in love or anything but i think she is a good person. Plus i wanked in my mum's undies a few years ago so i think that makes up for it all? I just fear putting her on a pedestal (inb4 i am fuck you she is my gf) and then getting hurt when she cheats or whatever.

I would even be her friend without being romantic or sexual. I have no other friends since they all left me because i keep having ocd mind attacks.

Can anyone give me some advice?

I'm looking to improve my German, anybody got any recs for easy to read German books? Something with a more basic vocabulary. I took a couple of semesters in uni and have a fairly good grasp of the grammar, but my vocab is lacking.
