Depends on what one counts as intellectual, some of the people I know are keen on eating cheese, drinking wine and debating philosophy on a high school level. I like literature, hard sciences and programming, not that they're necessarily intellectual pursuits either.

>>72168363
I'm Mexican, so I'm naturally intellectual. That's how I immigrated here illegally. It takes very much cleverness to outwit the border patrol.
Philosophy
Literature
Cinema (not contemporary Hollywood brainwashing, actual film)
Music
Painting
Scaruffi's taught me well
Masters in history would be swell old chap
Shitposting is the new socratic method
im on the Oregon coast, so i do a lot of fishing for crab & trout, & collect clams & mussels for my main interest, cooking. i can cook anything.
im also a collector of natural things. fossils, sand from various beaches, antiques & unique objects. i collect them, wrap them up, seal them away from the elements, & put them on display for everybody to see. im not a fan of hiding natural beauty out of greed. i am an archivist. what i collect is safe, secure, even if for a moment, & anyone who wants can enjoy what makes it unique.
im also a redneck & i make potato cannons.
>>72168363
Intellectuals are snooty pricks who think they are better than everyone else. I'm a thinking man, and I like to think I have an idea on how the world works. But I will never call myself an intellectual.
>>72168363
Music theory and advanced Jazz and Classical guitar study.
even though i am wage slave construction worker, i have took every history, sociology, geology, religions classes at my local communitty college, and a few at my local university. i mostly love the antiquites.
Nothing can hold my focus for more than 11 minutes. Not too much intellect here.
I'm researching in order to create a modern text and manual on a Libertarian Fascist system and I am also preparing to write a couple of philosophical and religious texts and some occult texts.
I've been able to turn leftists in real life into actual fascists and I've gotten a decent number of Christians into philosophy and I personally want to write these in order to systemize and complete my own understanding of my own mind and ideology and the like.
My great hope is that when I am done, I will influence someone else. Someone with more education, someone who could be classified as an intellectual. And they shall create a system far more efficient than anything I could come up with.
Until then I will strive to create the most efficient systems possible. all else must be eradicated for the sake of the collective Will.

Pick one hombre. That's like saying you want capitalist communism.
>>72171359
That's like the libertarian communism bullshit I've seen included with pirated movies in .txt format, pure lunacy. Unless you want to expand a little.
definitely ancient naval warfare. Slaves under the decks rowing for power while you ram at full speed into other ships hoping yours don't break apart? arrows showering overhead while you throw explosives and POTS FILLED WITH SNAKES at the enemy? I mean you're so close to them you can see their faces and blood and sweat, and if you fall in the drink you just drown. It's a time of men being fucking men, this is the hardest shit around.

All you have to do is reject the non-aggression principle and understand libertarian economics as the most efficient and pragmatic approach.
You can then apply this to a fascist regime (which is supremacy of the state, totalitarianism, union of the wills and the most efficient application of the collective will)
You can then make this state which is all-encompassing, minimal.
Once the state only interferes with what it must, which is defined as protecting the people, uniting the people and refining the people you have all that is needed.
Imagine a small government with incredible capabilities, millions of autonomous individuals working together for their own good and the good of their neighbor. This nationalist/state good is curved by the state.
Understand the economy as this.
The state is the commander, the citizen is the individual soldier.
Once corporatism is applied, the soldiers have a general direction and plan but are free to do as they will in order to accomplish the goal. The goals being effiency, profit and so on.
Fascism has as a key doctrinal aspect, the ability to take up the doctrine and stances of others if they prove to be the most efficient.
For this purpose I am formulating a libertarian corporatist fascist minarchist system.
Lately I've been studying the Bosnian War.
>>72172025
To go on further, imagine a totalitarian and corporatist form of the minarchist night-watchman state.
National syndicalism Corporatism gives us collectivist capitalism or national libertarianism. Whichever you prefer.
>>72168363
Currently obsessed with studying the lives, philosophies, and events surrounding the great "caesars" of history. Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, etc.
If anybody has some other figures and/or books to recommend, plz lemme know.
>>72175157
Sounds like libertarianism m8
Plato seems to be universally embraced here.
>>72175434
Any books you recommend?
Math, mathematical physics, some history, some anthropology. I'd like to get more into philosophy.

THE FACT THAT
But in all seriousness, I really respect him a lot. I may disagree with a lot of his political views, but he seems like someone who has truly devoted himself to the pursuit knowledge and has lived life to the fullest. He's done a lot of work in Silicon Valley, frequently lectures at Stanford, and has an extensive knowledge of the past 60 years of music. On top of all that, he's traveled all over the world and and his pictures, he seems to always be at parties with a lot of friends.
Find a way to create traditional human excellence in the midst of our worship of lowest common denominator mediocrity
I'm taking a history of capitalism class right now, and it's pretty telling how word-for-word the things we complain about here in regard to the development of society and loss of culture were written about and pondered at length 100-150 years ago by big thinkers like Weber, Schumpeter, Hayek, and even Adam Smith.
At some point, the thinkers of the world have to come up with a feasible breakthrough, or we will just have another 100 years of people calling themselves "men of paper" and complaining about how fucked everything is going to inevitably be under this system.
Now, capitalism IS the best possible system that has been attempted or conceived of up to this point. We can't really get past it until we can produce such massive surpluses that we simply don't need people to work at all anymore.

Not really intelectual, but I am developing vertical module farms to destroy the communal sense of agriculture in our country which would outdate the socialist/communist ideals that some regions still hold.
If we can make it more efficient and cheaper than natural agriculture, people will have to move out of their lands to engage in the capitalist market. The catch is that it would be open sourced, you don't need to hold any copoyrights, higher competition would benefit newcomers and in the end supress the present system of agriculture.
My main goal for my country is selfsufficiency. For how the world is going I suggest you start doing the same but in your own fields.
>>72177036
>we simply don't need people to work at all anymore.
IMO this would be catastrophic because manking is designed to work, and a lack of work or work ethic leads to ruin
All my pursuits are intellectual. Even when I'm doing outdoor activities I am actually thinking about my place in the universe or learning about nature.
>>72180479
Most of the time I'm just thinking why is the world so shitty and how do I fix it and why does everyone hate me and why bother doing anything at all when it all adds up to nothing, and why doesn't my family even love me or even each other.
>>72168363
I write poetry, but it's shit. My favourite poet is William Blake. I keep my poems private.
My daughter draws amazing portraits in pencil. Just the head and shoulders. It's amazing. She can draw a face easily. I have no idea where she gained this skill.
She sells them at her school for £3 a piece. I found this out as she had money and I asked her about it. She just said "dad, I draw faces and sell my drawings". I can't describe my pride in her. Her friends ask her to draw their faces, or their favourite musicians.
I bought her some proper artist pencils and charcoal. Also some good quality paper.
I never taught her this as I can't draw. And she hates art class at school. I neither encourage her nor criticise her.
I just let her do her thing. I have no fucking idea how she gained this skill.
But she can draw any face with incredible accuracy.
I can recite verbatim any Nep speech from any of the Hyperdimension Neptunia games.
>>72168363
I perform classical music with my friends and gf on cello, violin, classical guitar.
I read non fiction critically.
I garden and hike/camp hunt/fish as well
Those I consider intellectual and stoic pursuits.
>>72177036
Agreed, the problem is not capitalism, but consumerism and the excess of debt. capitalism is the best system to create goods.
About the human excellence you are thinking about it in a biased way. ie not all greeks wrote books and we only know of a bunch of them because of their writings, it's not correct to think that everyone of them was as smart as socrates or plato.
My point is, human mediocrity was always a thing, but it was never "saved" for future generations like we can see on the internet as of today. The problem is that we are constantly exposed to human stupidity, so is hard to discern sometimes if we are really advancing as a society, but I assure you we are, you might not hear about it on the news tho.
>>72175667
That's due to a lack of understanding of the fascist aspects.
>>72175864
Anything you can get your hands on about actual corporatism, the doctrine of fascism, your basic reading lists on far right economics and so on.
A minor thing I'm trying to do is basically create a synthesis of the right wing/far right currents of thought.
There's plenty of texts, plenty of history and plenty of science to be researched but in any case if you just want what would make up a corporatist libertarian economy, picture something a mixture of the national syndicalism and the almost regulationless capitalism exposed by the many national libertarians that you could find on this very website.
The social policy is an extreme form of Social Darwinism, I find Social Darwinism and Class Collaboration go hand in hand.
In any case there is much work to be done, i hope to complete the books soon, or at least before I'm far too old and detached.
>>72180725
That's so nice man, congratulations.
My advice would be that you use this to encourage her to gain discipline. She will apreciate it when she is older.
If you say that you are not going to encourage her or criticise her that's fine, but don't disconnect yourself from this activity becasue you think you might pressure her to much into doing something she won't like (which doesn't sound like the case).
Maybe just talk with her about what she likes to draw, and you can take her to the zoo and see if she would like to draw animals or some shit like that.
I started drawing because my mom teached me, I was good at it and through highschool studied Art which lead me to choose Architecture as my career. I don't necesarily draw all the time, but it allowed me to develop discipline and those times are the most fond memories I have.
>>72179726
I love you

Again, this is a problem that can be solved by collectivist capitalism.
We can have capitalism without the vanity. We just need to remove the industries and corporations which harm the people and weaken he state (which is defined as the sum of all people of the nation who ever were, who are and who ever shall be within the nation.)
We can do this by simple things like banning smoking and whoring and allowing our police to truly crackdown on these things.
If we unite the people, I mean truly unite the people this is very easy.
In our collectivist capitalism, our corporations give the common man a cheap and fast education, a good number of contacts, they cultivate the salt and pepper skills truly required.
They are free to choose their profession, but they will be united and guided together to maximize the benefit of all parties. Maximize the benefits to the worker and the business owner.

>forgetting someone?
>>72182725
I used to call it national capitalism but i think your name is better.
The goal of capitalism should be to develop the country, not profit of external/international parties. Like you say, simple actions can lead to develop collective values.
I was blown away the other week, because I read some statistics from latinamerica that said that in ten years we would have the same problems europe is already facing with the young population and the decline of birth rates.
(because young population distribute themselves unequally all around the globe)
What I fear is that the process of globalization leads to centralization of power, that would be terrible and in the end fuck with every country, but of course it would only benefit companies.

Yes, but 17 times larger than that. we have the resources, the problem is that here we also have centralization. Lima was the only relevant city here, but this is changing thank to god.
The problem is that we are industrialy iliterate and most of our technological goods are imported. Our strengths are mining and agriculture and their interests are constantly in conflict.
