Fedi fwens (whoops I guess that's a racism now) what are you reading right now? We should do a neat book club style exchange of titles and ideas and stuff. Yes, shitposting is encouraged but I really do want to talk about books and stuff.

@MisterRogersSnapped I really like this idea, actually. Right now, I'm reading jack shit, because I'm still a podcast nigger. I used to read so much more. Maybe the Internet rotted my brain.

@MisterRogersSnapped Currently reading "Maximal god" which is about philosophy of religion. The author is a asian brit bong philosopher. He defends the ontological argument and writes some stuff.

@MisterRogersSnapped Haven't finished it so i can't tell.The good> He introduces different conceptions of god such as omni theism, perfect being theism.> A useful categorisation of diffferent atheistic arguments such as A-type (god has a contradictionary property), B-type (two of gods properties contradict each other), C-type( some properties of god contradict how the world is)>The exploration of "the great chain of being" is pretty interesting. Essentialy philosophers would order different beings in the world based on their greatness.The bad>It's philosophy, so it's very dry>The 13 relations between the greatness of two beings felt a bit unecessary

@SneedsterSpeedster This is a great analysis and reply and exactly the kind of thing I am talking about!!! Thank you for taking the time to actually talk about the book. Now if people are interested they will have something before they go in from someone that's in here with us. I don't know if that is my kind of book but I will look it up and poke around at it some. :)

@SneedsterSpeedster @MisterRogersSnapped you know what? yeah I kinda do. the plot is a slog and the characters are just vaguely defined archetypes, but it is really good world-building in both versions. and it is also interesting to read the original, which was written in really archaic prose which can sometimes be impenetrable, then compare it to the new one and have the realisation of "ohhhhh that's what it means"doesn't help that I'm also E3L so I can't help but imagine that there's some bits that would be easier to understand if I was a native speaker

@MisterRogersSnapped "Human Smoke" Nicholson Baker, can be sporadically funny but doesn't read like a book more a collection of quotes and factoids. And an abridged version of "The Decline of the West" Oswald Spengler because I'm lazy and don't read/speak German.

@MisterRogersSnapped I am reading 20000 Leagues Under the Sea. I'm halfway through it now, and it's been pretty enjoyable. Sometimes Jules Vernes finds the need to make extremely long lists of the different sea creatures that the characters encounter though, and it can be pretty exhausting. Major plot developments are also somewhat slow to come by, but I have a feeling it will pick up a lot at some point

@MisterRogersSnapped It is, I heard it was a piece of proto-sci-fi so I want to read it to get an idea of the genre's earlier works. After that I'm going to read some books by the "Big Three" (Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein) before moving on to the subgenre of Cyberpunk. It's very exciting (:

@MisterRogersSnapped @corceeeee Rendezvous with Rama is also a classic pick (not a fan of the sequels), and is superior imo to the other Clarke "big one", 2001. but I like A Fall of Moondust for the same reasons I liked Andy Weir's The Martian, it presents practical problems ~in spaaaaace~ and the main character has to MacGuyver his way out of shit

@MisterRogersSnapped Jung - Modern Man in Search of a SoulGives a snapshot of his main themes in his ~middle period, so you get more of a feel for his method than his earlier, more empirical work and his later, more "finished" perspectives.Packs quite a punch too, don't think I've read many books which provoke the same intensity of vertigo and soul-searching. Always cuts close to the bone.

@skells I want to read this, I want to understand the "jungian shadow" on more than a shallow meme level.

@MisterRogersSnapped @skells Jung, A Very Short Introduction by Anthony Stevens is a quick read to get a bit deeper than meme level. Jung’s own writing is pretty heavy reading.

@MisterRogersSnapped I highly recommend "the Essential Jung," covers all his work chronologically and is very well edited.Wait for a quiet spell to start reading it though, I was finding excuses to read it constantly.

@skells @MisterRogersSnapped I'm going to be super annoying, but why would you read Jung instead of modern psychology?

@Harmful-if-Swallowed@kiwifarms.cc @MisterRogersSnapped@kiwifarms.cc @adamwright@poa.st I should correct this, I think the statistic is for prints, not sales or distribution.

@Harmful-if-Swallowed@kiwifarms.cc @MisterRogersSnapped@kiwifarms.cc @adamwright@poa.st Because they give them out for free, the only sales are special prints or resale. I can't find the stat atm, but just through deduction I think it had to be prints > sales

@skells @SneedsterSpeedster I think a good question would be "Among books considered "modern psychology" what would you recommend? If we can get a baseline of where we each are at we can better start a conversation." Honestly I am not a huge fan of psychology as a medical premise and a great deal of it feels like cocaine and pseudoscience but it's interesting and dark enough to catch my attention.

@MisterRogersSnapped I'm late, but I like this idea! I'm not reading anything at the moment, but I think I'm going to read Paradise Lost.

@0rpheus @MisterRogersSnapped Good luck. If you haven't read epic poems before, then it might be weird.

@MisterRogersSnapped @SneedsterSpeedster "Thinking, Fast and Slow" has very rigourous science behind it.There's a view today that something can't be a science without quantitative methods - the reality is that formulae are often used to obfuscate bullshit. Search "replication crisis."A careful reading of Jung shows that he was a rigorous thinker. His investigations produced questionable and disturbing results - it's a rare person who can look those results in the eye and integrate them into their life.His is a subjective opinion and has its idiosyncrasies - as he is first to attest. That no one has really followed upon his heels with the same insight is a great shame. You only get 5 or 6 of his quality in a century though, perhaps it's to be expected.Girard is very good, more anthropology than psychology but he is as unflinching and rigourous as Jung; perhaps without his intuitive genius.
