I’m wondering what kind of economics I should read. I know everyone here likes the scientific, mathematical kinds but I’ve been more partial to Austrian economics recently

Hocus is not compatible with the institutions of Adidas, his prose is like a whirlwind of shit and his magnus opus smells like a tornado. His shilling army has legitimacy only because of the attention we give them, we should push our pro Adidas literature otherwise Nike or maybe Puma might take over. We all know that since the Taylor Swifts puma dress /pol/ has been full on Puma shills. The thing is that this Hocus and alternatives of Adidas go hand in hand thus bashing him is the only viable tactic.

If everything is it’s opposite in bizarro land then wouldn’t we not be using /lit/? Wouldn’t it stand to reason that /lit/ would be more or less (excluding some obvious things like how in bizarro land the site would be popular and not look like it was made in 2003) the same seeing as all the normalfags who hate books would become the new Anons.

>All has been said.

They never suspected the unconscious as a direct motivator of individuals, societies, and whole species, and believed in a "Self" (Free will) as being in control; they have no adequate theory of human behavior for us to know ourselves with outside of their own guesswork. You're a damn lazy thinker to stop at the Greeks.

I didn't do well in school when i was young, but I never let it get to my head. I'm doing really way in life now and that is what matters. I think I've taken control of my life in small but meaningful ways and i understand that part of that is letting go and being open to the love and lessons those around me have to share. I read a little bit each day and i write some too. i don't have clinical depression

Why do university courses consist mostly of this one man's thoughts about philosophy and nothing of Plato and Aristotle? Are we really that much in debt to a rich westerner larping as a Bhuddist?

Though I cannot say that I neither agree nor disagree with the opinions presented by you, I can tell that in my current mood any attempt to offer my own standpoint would result in a sham of a post more evidently pseudo-intellectual than even this one manages to be. I am however prepared to support this movement of unnecessarily respectable verbosity due both to my interest in the resulting butthurt of immaturely cynical half-pubescent anons, as well as the joy from pretending for a minute to be part of a circle of unironical intellectuals
