that's not meant to be a snobby "I'm smarter than everyone" comment

because I genuinely don't think I am, it's just that the average person doesn't have nearly the interest in these kind of subjects as we do

Though we should aim for these books to be seen as normal to the masses <:redpill:439924063377555497>

well, they should be seen as socially acceptable

but not everyone needs to be super into politics

we need to have a small, dedicated (but not obsessed) group of people that studies this stuff and filters the ideas into the mainstream

So, for me, a "useful" book is one where I could either apply the knowledge to my personal life, or I could use the knowledge to refine my talking points

Damn @Kingfish Germany is cucked in that game

Just like real life

Honestly even books that tell me stuff I already know can be useful, because I can learn from the way these ideas are presented by people more educated than me

dude I wish I could read as much as you

I'm kind of a slow reader

when I was a kid I read a lot of informative stuff but I got lazy as a teenager

getting into this movement is what got me back into it

@Jacob you did a good job leading the book discussion!

I appreciate that! The most recent one was led by @Nemets, though, so he deserves credit for that one

@Jacob Nemets did great too!

dude I liked working so much more than school

I was working overtime at two Dairy Queens in the Summer

it was kinda fun

I didn't have a lot of time though lol

I've heard the "college is the best time of your life" thing from a lot of people

but that doesn't necessarily reflect how they actually feel

they do seem to be constantly stressed

i hate college

It’s because college is in many cases pleasure island

Only problem is that excitement and pleasure doesn’t equal happiness and life satisfaction

I am so glad I am done. I dread grad school. I wish I didn't have a useless meme degree that requires a lateral move for a masters to actually support a hypoyhetical future family.

What’s the degree

Natural resources mgmt

What are you planning on studying in grad school

Something similar but a bit more science (aka whatever will take me for a fellowship and give me the best deal- I refuse to take loan debt, and have avoided it so far)

@OttoVonBismarck ya I guess college would be pretty fun if you're taking an easy degree and either have massive debt or money from parents

party it up, regret it later

I’m not sure what would logically follow from that but you could try getting an mba

lol I am allergic to business

But thanks for the effort

Yeah stem majors are usually very stressed

I have a computer science major and a communications minor

communications was kinda fun
