The beautiful bookworm ideal is so fucking retarded, because there's no society on the planet where a beautiful woman would go unnoticed by Chad, and she would instinctively let him ravage her through the slightest attempt of courtship.

In fact, any idealization of women that deviates from the standard function of the female instinct is cringe and bluepilled, and only serves to put pussy on a pedestal and breed more bugmen in this dying society.

I think it would be smart to fuck chad. Why would I settle for less than worms? You would fuck stacy too if you weren't an insect anon. Cut the shit.

That's not what I'm implying at all, I'm begrudging the fags that idolize purity and think it still exists in this degenerate world, and I'm especially pissed at the bookworm ideal since it deluded me into spending a good deal of my youth searching for a girl that doesn't exist. But now I am older and wiser, so seeing people younger than me still doing the same retarded things as I did obviously pisses me off.

well, you know you're allowed to have your fun with other things different than reading, right?

I also plan to read Blake, Pope, Coleridge, Keats, Yeats, and why not Milton.
Also like "men of letters".
Fiction is at the bottom, only have a handful I might read.

All the geniuses in the world have failed us. I either succeed where they couldn't and somehow get the answer out or die trying. It's a slim chance I'll give you that but it beats doing fuck all. Unless you have a better idea?

literally me
>You know you're allowed to have some fun with reading, right?
there is nothing i find more interesting than politics and society. in politics the highest highs and lowest lows of the human spirit are realised, humanity and inhumanity vie for control of people's lives and futures. passions are inflamed, people band together towards a common cause, to fight for ideals, and, through collective effort, make them a realty. i think politics is really something quite beautiful, even if it has fallen into ill-repute in recent times. the grand story of the human condition stretching from mesopotamia to the modern day is more captivating to me than any work of fiction.
call me a faggot all you want, that's simply how i feel.

i do have my own special snowflake theory of politics, but it needs a lot more hashing out, researching and reading before it's worth talking about, and i'll probably change my mind when exposed to more information and ideas. i'm not too concerned about the specific normative content of politics at the moment, but the grounds upon which politics is practiced and viewed all together. it's primarily a meta-political project, as i think that is a required foundation before diving into normative problems; a kind of 'groundwork for the metaphysics of politics'.
