Does anyone have the chart that was like

>You could read Song of Ice and Fire (X,000 pages).
>Or you could read [dozens of covers of medieval epics and legends] (~X,000 pages)

It was posted all the time like 10-5 years ago, but I haven't seen it here in a long while.

It's best to read Evola's more elementary work before you dive into his other books mentioned there. Otherwise you'll both miss the larger context of his worldview and you could misinterpret an author whose already highly misunderstood.

I'm not doing well. I have constant thoughts of the fatal and fragile existence we live in, the destruction of the world around me and I feel myself falling into a pit of insanity.
And you want to know what's scary? I don't want to come out of this pit. It feels oldy comforting being engrossed in the madness

My diary desu

>>18489742
More brutal things have happened to weaker people, who recovered from it.

More brutal times have occurred to less advanced ages and peoples, who recovered from it.

In Greek mythos suffering was allowed to exist among humanity because it is through suffering that we can learn. Everything that makes our lives easier and happier was created because we have suffered without it in the past. Life is a harsh teacher that first gives the test and then gives the lesson. This is why there is not a more disgraced person than he who suffers without learning from it.

That is a waste of good suffering.

Now you can be like the Biblical Job in maintaining bravery in face of physical adversity, if you know the immaterial values encompassing life are eternal, or you can be the opposite, suffering very little, learning almost nothing, and despairing a whole lot.

Is there any genuinely good /lit/ from this chart and not just being edgy for the sake of edge? Only one I've read from this is blood meridian.

>>18497347
From these I've read

>120 Days of Sodom
Exactly like the film, transgressive political satire with edgy rape and cophrophilia for the sake of it

>A Season in Hell
It's great, not even "disturbing", but a very emotionally volatile and cathartic poem

>American Psycho
Like the movie but boring and meandering, for the sake of making and forcing the point of the main character's empty and vain lifestyle. The film was better but the novel can be beautifully schizo at times

>Blood Meridian
You already know

>Cows
Disgusting as fuck, very little in the way of message that really matters, but I don't regret reading it, as it was an interesting experience, kind of like Hogg, it s a desolate and depraved tale in a depraved world, a safari experience of observing that

>Hogg
It's actually kind of interesting, but too much rape, rape and murder, and fucking for the sake of it. It's 200 or so pages of raping and raping, but the characters that it paints are actually kind of interesting to observe, in a similar way as the above

>Naked Lunch
It's very good. Occasional disturbing sex, drug abuse and what not, but it paints a psychedelic interpretation of the downtrodden lifestyle homosexuals and junkies lived in a time where these lifestyles were much more maligned and not corporate and estate sponsored. It's fun, funny, satirical in clever ways and pretty good.

>Perfume
A very well-written novel about a serial killer in old-timey France, it is disturbing as a story about a killer tends to be, but not unnecessary or cheap as Hogg or Cows. It's very good.

>Story of the Eye
Edgy and sometimes disturbing erotic novel, sexy here and there, not too hard to stomach at all, very good for what it is going for, and I'm not even a fan of Bataille.

>The Obscene Bird of Night
Imagine a Borges novel that gets really into psychological horror territory and you get the general tone, it's pretty great.

>The Room
One stream of consciousness angry rant and revenge fantasy from an inmate. It's hit or miss, I like it but most wont.

>The Wasp Factory
All disturbing things about this one are a huge spoiler. It's pretty gross, meanders a lot, and is rather psychological but one of the ~disturbing~ novels I've read that I consider pretty good.

>>18488529
Latest version

>>18497347
Crash is loads of fun. Have you ever wanked to people dying in car accidents? You will. The film is less creepy and more sexy. You'll wank earlier to car accidents.

Cities of the Red Night pisses all over Naked Lunch. Have you ever watch a transtime invasion by ejaculating paradrop of all kinds of sexy boys fighting fascism while fucking in mid air and copulating? Have you killed the scientific femocracy of fascism? The cities of the red night are six in number. Everything is real, everything is permitted. Nothing is permitted, nothing is real. Everything is mandatory, everything is as real as mandated. GET IT MAN-DATED. IN THE DATE. UP THE BUM.

Though honestly Crash is okay. The thing you REALLY need to read is JG Ballard's semi-auto-biography Empire of the Sun. Steven Spielberg totally fucked it up: he doesn't even try to sell the child for sex or human butchery in the film (pro-tip Chinese Cannibal Child Butchers reject sick meat). Also he doesn't ejaculate over the kamikaze boy's corpse during an atomic explosion in the movie.

For really disturbing literature try reading the Transcript of Nuremberg in full, particularly Soviet evidence. I stopped shaking six to eight months later.

Having that opinion doesn’t make you a retard. A 35 yo regurgitating the most basic /pol/-esque material like he knows what he’s talking about is retarded. You obviously haven’t gotten over initial /pol/ cognitive dissonance you egregious fucking newfaggot

Unironically kill yourself. Through your stupidity you've doomed the West to collapse

>>18501092
The interest in those ideologies can and often is born from the desire to dissect the beliefs of radicalized political opponents, as opposed to create some one-dimensional strawman meanie in your psychological five year old brain to run away from and obtain exactly zero opponent awareness, as leftists always do.

The learning curve is steep, but once you've gotten through the first few chapters and you get the hang of the anachronistic style of capitalizing every Noun and Verb in the Sentence, it's quite an easy read.

Also, as with all Pynchon, you'll never catch every reference and allusion and you'll drive yourself mad if you try. Just enjoy the ride. It's one of my favorite books.

In the Miso Soup is fantastic. It plays out like any mystery/thriller but quickly becomes more of an existential nightmare. Story of the Eye is absolutely worth reading as well, the other anon did a good job surmising it. Of course, read Blood Meridian if you haven't yet.

It's overkill, it depends what you want to get out of it. If you just want to dick around and program something that does something, just use a shitty game engine, or one of many webdev help sites.

>>18493072
People -- like >>18493366 -- might say it's due to a lack of culture, but the fact is that consumer culture is its driving force. It has created unprecedented alienation and atomization.

However, such culture isn't unique solely to the US: it's become the global trend.

>>18507302
Do you expect it to collapse on itself?
Because the cracks are beginning to show, despite the best efforts of globohomo and our own cognitive dissonance.

>>18504263
Yeah I pretty much agree with >>18507271. I read the K&R C book and Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. I feel like SICP made me a much better programmer and K&R was a good way for me to get started with C, but you could start with basically anything, whether that be some guides online, some projects, or a book.

I posted the chart and the person who made it probably doesn't have any credentials or anything lol, IIRC I just found it on /g/. I've at least heard of all the books on it and everything below step 2 is probably interesting in some way, but like the other anon said, not necessary.

>>18507664
Majority of the content isn't too math intensive. Some of it towards the end is though, but at that point it starts to lean into too advanced for everyday use anyways. As long as you have an understanding of Calc and Linear Algebra you'll be ok.

You only need to know the basics of college algebra and a very thin idea of calculus. Single variable calculus should be enough.
Here is a reading order for you:
>Discrete Mathematics (Epp)

>A Graphical Approach to Algebra & Trigonometry (J. Hornsby)
>Calculus (J. Steward)
>>18504263
Hello. Don't follow this chart. I don't know what your goals are, but here are some books every programmer should have read and studied:
>SICP (G. Sussman)
Yes. The meme book.
>Compilers (A. Aho)
Yes... This meme book. Before anyone complains, it's not so you can make your own compilter, it is so you understand what exactly a compiler does. Trust me. This is worth your time.
>K&R: C
You're almost done. You can now write better code than the majority of my peers that have graduated with A CS degree.
>Intro to Algorithms (T. Cormen)
Now you're able to write some very efficient programs. You're not a god, but you're going to look like one compared to people who are making $150K/yr. Trust me, this book isn't just "for professionals", learn to write code or don't bother. This field isn't supposed to be just cobbling shit together and making it run. (even if it is..)
TAOCP is a good reference bookset, but it is also incomplete. I don't think Knuth will live to put out Volume 7, sadly.
The pragmatic programmer is nice, but it's mostly about setting realistic expectations and general ideas of how to get things done. I'd recommend this for any professional, but it isn't required for general programming.
Concrete mathematics is something you should look into, Knuth will be really useful. But you can skip it.
You know what isn't on here?
>CODE (C. Petzold)
This could be useful to you, for quickly understanding CS ideas. It's a great starting point, too.
If you liked K&R's C, look into Hacker's Delight, which will show you a lot of concepts written in C that travel well into other languages.
Oh and honestly, don't bother with the rest of the chart.

I don't understand
What kind of chart is this?

any occult charts floating around or should I ask on /x/?

Anyone have a Carl Jung chart?

>>18517402
Found it in the archive

>>18488382
this list for books no 6 and up is very controversial

>>18517677
Thanks!

The irony of a /pol/ guide recommending spinoza

>>18517882
I doubt this is the mind of /pol/tard who screeches about 'muh jews' all day.

why do you people always do this? the theory of christian interpolation into an originally heathen text has been thoroughly discredited. a christianity received by germanics will naturally emphasize some of their traditional concerns. the theology that results is honestly not dissimilar to traditional calvinism.

>if I call people /pol/tards that will distract me from the progressing dumpster fire that is modern American culture and society

I'm curious how he recommends Idiot but not Demons, though I guess any and all Dost. is worthy reading

Does anybody have anything on Latin language literature? Preferably with an emphasis on the medieval/Christian period.

Author outside of her work is a certified retard. The work itself is OK. She doesn't understand how the Roman military works and I think her ending point of Caracalla's edict is kind of dumb as she puts it as extension of Rome being multicultrual and so on which was not the real or intended effect of the edict.

Didn't he get sacked by the Jewish community in Amsterdam for his controversial works?
And plus, most /pol/acks will read Jewish works and don't blindly screech muh Jews all the time. >>18517901 is right. There's a distinct difference between a "/pol/ack' and a "/pol/tard".

Do you think the Grail and Hermetic Tradition are some of his elementary works? The whole picture is a meme. The guy that made it had no idea what he was doing and I don't understand why people keep posting it unless they also have no idea what they're doing. In the Mystery of the Grail, Evola is constantly referring the reader to Revolt and some of his other books so what sense does it make to read it first? It's the same deal with the Doctrine of Awakening and the Yoga of Power with East & West, and why would Eros be "optional" but the Metaphysics of War isn't? It's garbage man, just delete it from your computer.

Which one of these should I use if I don't know anything about Jung but would like to learn more?

MA in Counseling here. Good list covering a range of issues. I'd replace Client-Centered Therapy with something by Perls

>>18521913
Unrelated to thread but any rough recommendations on looking into whether becoming a counselor/therapist is a good fit? Especially coming from a non-psych/social sciences background.

>>18522104
Yeah! Absolutely look into it if you're interested. Counseling is a practice that can give you tons of freedom to really build a professional identity. What're your thoughts about pursuing it?

>>18494993
somebody add Neil Stephenson's Diamond Age to this

It's something that I've benefited a lot from and seems like a really rewarding way to help people, since you're helping them but also seeing their changes in real time I'd imagine. My main concerns would be how to test if one has the right skillset and if one has I guess the mental and emotional stamina to do that kind of work.

I'm finishing a degree in something else and will be applying for jobs soon, and who knows, maybe that'll turn out well, but ideally I'd like to do something where I see concrete and positive results from what I'm doing, which seems really hard to find in what I'm probably going to end up in (a subarea of CS).

Source?

I need some books to get my shit together, stop being lazy, and take up the strenuous life. Chart pls

>>18522523
That makes sense to me. Like anything else, counseling is a skill you build over time. All those mental and emotional stamina muscles get toned through practice. And a good program will get you working on that it early on in class. It's a great field if you like to learn, because you're required to do continuing education in order to stay licensed.

I'm interested to see if you don't find yourself seeing those concrete positive changes from CS. It seems like such a practical endeavor.

>>18523379
That's good info, thanks.

And in one sense for CS yes, something is always being built or improved. But typically the application is something that quite frankly doesn't need to exist. Some of this can be abated by which jobs you apply to, for that reason, but there's very little in the way of meaningful stuff, which is made more annoying with modern corporate culture where "WE STAND BEHIND OUR PRODUCT". Anyway you're right in that there are options, I complain too much.

>>18523482
There's an elephant in the room with going into professional counseling. Everybody who wants to be a counselor has probably dealt with some stuff and may still be. Don't let the fear of "oh, they know I'm just trying to fix myself" get in your way. It's like an inside joke - once you're in, you get to laugh too. We all know we have shit. And like I said, a good program will get you working on your own stuff in the process. My school required at least 8 of my own counseling sessions (by people outside the program).

>>18521738
Anyone?

>>18488438
was just about to post this
even Meister Eckhert

hi friends

i wanna learn more about the origins and philosophical/historical foundations of western civilisation an democracy and liberalism etc.

particularly with regard to ancient rome/greece. i also want to learn more about this historical time period in general, and i sadly know very little about the roman empire at all

any authors or book recommendations relating to all this would be greatly appreciated. i was recommended gilbert murray's works, if anyone knows of him.

>>18488354

Man and his Symbols was apparently written to be a general overview of Jungs ideas and I felt it was a great point to start from, only 1/4th of the book is actually written by jung though. Just go with the first one, and if you're a secondaryfag who needs more context with everything, go with the second one

That bear is awful choice for a book supposedly dealing with aesthetics.

That Tanizaki book is NOT about architecture.
