What the fuck is this guy talking about genuinely

“Too much chargin aboot: it’s killin us aw, man. The rat race n that. Stressed if yuv goat a joab, stressed if ye huvnae. Everybody oot fir themselves, at each other’s throat n daein each other doon. Nae solidarity nae mair, ken? The work is ower, it’s aw gaun, n thaire’s nae particular place tae go.”

NOOOOO NOT THE DOG NOOOOOO

“Cunts that try and psychoanalyse the fucked-up miss the crucial point: sometimes ye jist dae it cause it’s thaire n that’s wey ye are. Ah watched my mother and father tear themselves apart and rip each other’s family trees up at the roots, trying tae work oot where all Wee Davie’s bad genes came fae. But in the end, they grew tae accept that it doesnae matter. It just is.”

just don't mind me adding all the books i'm reading in my greek and roman mythology class lol

engels is eating this guy up lmao

dios, qué aburrido. no puedo más to be finished ig

Someone once told me that if I liked books with little action and beautiful writing, that I should check out Hemingway. Now that I'm actually reading this book, while that statement is true, I find that Hemingway's writing is actually very simplistic; it's tell, not show. I feel like he writes exactly the way our English teachers tell us not to write. Not that it's bad, I just thought it was interesting.

Jesus F. Christ. I might even need to stop reading this book.

oh my godddd i need to stop reading this or else i'm actually gonna cry in public and that would be embarrassing lol

agh dude... i feel so many things that i can't contain in this update. i'm gonna go take a long walk when i get home.

😨

oh no :((((((((

i just started this book today and I LOVE JUDE 💯💯

From the book: "...The madman's liminal position on the horizon of medieval concern-a position symbolized and made real at the same time by the madman's privilege of being confined within the city gates: his exclusion must enclose him; if he cannot and must not have another prison than the threshold itself, he is kept at the point of passage. He is put in the interior of the exterior, and inversely."
...
...what.

you have no idea how fucking hard i'm trying to finish this book today before my trip

i know that i'm supposed to take this man seriously but it's really hard. because like. what.

Okay, so already in books I and II, Socrates claims that the truly just form of government is an aristocracy where public opinion is useless and philosophers rule the state. He also supports censorship because children can't think for themselves or tell fact from fiction.

Now I understand why so many Athenians thought he was "corrupting the youth".

oh my god what the hell is this. who the fuck is Polemarchus

just realized i'm probably gonna finish this today :)
love it when i have that realization while reading

holy shit this guy is dissing these other philosophers

ok so what im hearing is no one has conquered the bread yet

girllll i dont think history "tends to" anything i think shit just happens for really complex reasons!!! like im not a product of history im just a human being in a particular situation
or maybe i'm just misunderstanding what he's saying
