speaking of joko
im currently listening through this ^, the author is a bit blue pilled on race, but it's a very fascinating account of all the catastrophic problems convering on America and modern civilization as a whole.
Took some caps of rec'd reading and infodumps from SIG, want me to post them here?
yeah reading lists are welcome, however dont dump inforgraphics, theyre usually little use to anyone that way, rather post one when its relevant to some discussion
Currently reading 2 books, one on the finnish winterwar and the other on Sparta. Next is Yukio Mishima's Sun and Steel! 😄
Good taste
Jared Diamond? Isn't that the man who wrote Guns, Germs and Steel?
^^ this is from the guy who wrote guns germs and steel so take his stuff with a grain of salt, how ever he is very good at observing societies and cultures and his writing is good
yep
Ah. Gotcha. I'll give it a look over
im only half way through world until yesterday, so far it basically talks about how small tribal cultures resolve conflicts and deal justice,
How societies collapse is a historical retelling of past cultures that got wiped out such as easter island and some isolated viking tribes, and tries to find connections between all of them
You would like: "On Heroes, Hero Worship and The Heroic in History" by Thomas Carlyle. It's what I'm reading right now
interesting, i would like that
It's from the late 1800s if I'm not mistaken, so the writing is a bit hard to mount if you're not used to reading it, but it's intelligible enough once you start going.
Here's the ebook
I would like to generally put forth three classic Sci-Fi books, if you haven't read them already:
George Orwell's _1984_, Aldous Huxley's _Brave New World_, and Ray Bradbury's _Fahrenheit 451_. In that order, given their relevance. If you must pick only one, do choose _1984_. I'll be working to find a PDF for everyone, in case you don't have the means to purchase it or it's banned/restricted.
And yes, I know it's likely most people here have read this, but given the impact these books have and the parallels there are, I find it important to make sure.
Great list, I was going to suggest Orwell as well as Brave New World too.
1984 is definitely the most important.
Jack Donovan. Start with 'the way of men' and 'becoming a barbarian'
