Not specifically right now, but it may be worth looking through some of Decarte's work

I've read Descartes meditations @Clunt Estwode

2017-02-13 17:09:33 UTC  

Aristotle is also another interesting read.

2017-02-13 17:09:33 UTC  

A heavy read, but good from an intellectual standing.

2017-02-13 17:09:38 UTC  

No worries

2017-02-13 17:09:50 UTC  

I honestly can't think of anything specifically

2017-02-13 17:09:59 UTC  

read aristotle and plato

2017-02-13 17:10:09 UTC  

I've read a lot of the more popular philosophers

2017-02-13 17:10:14 UTC  

my damn discord crashed

2017-02-13 17:10:18 UTC

2017-02-13 17:10:27 UTC  

I find myself looking at psychological texts

2017-02-13 17:10:40 UTC  

I dont know of barely any psychological texts

2017-02-13 17:10:46 UTC

2017-02-13 17:10:49 UTC  

Moreso papers of studies if anything

2017-02-13 17:11:05 UTC  

Find something you're interested in and look down the paper trail.

2017-02-13 17:11:13 UTC  

lol

2017-02-13 17:11:17 UTC  

I guess I could do that

2017-02-13 17:11:35 UTC  

the stanley parable is a game surprisingly filled with a lot of philosophical insight

2017-02-13 17:11:48 UTC  

even though it doesnt seem the part at first

2017-02-13 17:12:06 UTC  

greatest writing ive seen in a game

2017-02-13 17:13:01 UTC  

I like thinking about things, but sometimes I like turning my brain off and just playing music

2017-02-13 17:13:31 UTC  

The only books I read are textbooks

2017-02-13 17:13:47 UTC  

Textbooks consumed my life

2017-02-13 17:14:01 UTC  

is it bad that i stopped picking up textbooks since 4 years ago

2017-02-13 17:14:27 UTC  

@Discobug most people read 1984 in highschool

2017-02-13 17:14:30 UTC  

or earlier

2017-02-13 17:14:42 UTC  

well yea

2017-02-13 17:14:43 UTC  

yooo

2017-02-13 17:15:11 UTC  

I certainly enjoy intellectual persuits, but I also enjoy just being able to put that behind me and focus on being creative.

2017-02-13 17:15:53 UTC  

After fucking around at uni all week, I sometimes just like coming back to my room and writing music

2017-02-13 17:15:57 UTC  

@Clunt Estwode , you are something else.
