Hey /lit /. So I'm depressed and suicidal and shit. I was thinking about Japanese karoshi and I was thinking, would it be possible to work (study) myself to death? I feel like it would be a valuable experiment. How can I go about it? Any books about this?

this but unironically. start with plato's five dialogues. then move on to phaedrus, gorgias, and parmenides (that one's really hard). after that, read the republic. it's great. super cool book. then you can go to aristotle, but he's kind of boring (unlike plato), still good though. once you have a solid foundation in plato and aristotle, read schoepenhaur; he will insist that you familiarize yourself with kant, but kant sucks poop and you shouldn't do it. instead, just read his wikipedia page lol

Yes, but I think you would need to do it with something very rigorous. Pure mathematics (as in, topics not concerned with application to physical phenomena). Just cold logic and a lot of hard work to build intuition. Exhausting and rewarding.

On this, Eucalid's Elements is a good starter. Completely self-contained. Purely logic and reasoning and constructing new knowledge from already known truths
