Why is this a classic? what is the point of this book? what message is it trying to deliver?

It's not a classic. It's a children's book.
/lit/ long forgotten, Ling Ling trotted up the stairs, two at a time, to the second floor, where /fit/ was waiting for her with open arms. /fit/ noticed that Ling Ling’s thighs were glistening from her pussy juices, that had begun to flow down from her pleasure pit and passed by her short shorts, that were the kind of short short where her ass cheeks hung out for the world to see. Meanwhile, below, /lit/ was still planning, in his imagination, what he and Ling Ling would be doing that night. “First I will ask her out to a dinner at that new fancy restaurant I saw in the...

There are two types of smart people. Those that realise the implications of relativism / Stirner / Munchhausen trilemma and admit it, and those who realise it and ignore it (those who don't realise it are dumb).
People who ignore it are usually navel gazing, house of card building, obscurantist, pretentious charlatans / academics. Most people who admit it aren't even involved in philosophy. A few people who admit it, such as myself, point out how all talk of ethics, metaphysics, etc is based on feelings and has nothing non-trivial to tell us.
Of course religionfags and philosophyfags try their hard to associate themselves with things of people who are seen as respectable or intelligent or other things. So they will lie and dissemble, all out of self interest.

You're a knob. Metaphysics is the admission that humans cannot directly observe every phenomena in the universe yet attempt to figure out how it works anyway using conjecture and logic. Atoms come from Epicurean metaphysics. Wittgenstein in his non-metaphysics metaphysics may have figured out the reason for language, which has stumped AI scientists as long as they've existed.
I've read too much nihilist and eastern shit. My desires and cares about the world have gone to shit. I don't even shitpost anymore, I just sit around and watch the grass grow or watch shitty netflix shows.
I don't really even care about opinions, whether it's the views of others or myself. It's really just a burden to hold opinions and invest yourself in anything. I just exist.

Latin is next semester because I am taking the summer off to stay balls deep in girls since I spent most of the fall and winter in the gym barely passing my classes.
And I barely have any money because I can barely fucking afford 10lbs of chicken breast, brown rice, and hot sauce to sustain my muffukkan gains bro.
But no, seriously. I'm taking Latin in the fall and looking forward to it. Not only will it help me with literature, but it will make my Medical Terminology that much easier when I...

Sen no Rikyu, a tea-master, wished to hang a flower basket on a column. he asked a carpenter to help him, directing the man to place it a little higher or lower, to the right or left, until he had found exactly the right spot. "That's the place," said Sen no Rikyu finally.
The carpenter, to test the master, marked the spot and then pretended he had forgotten. Was this the place? "Was this the place, perhaps?" the carpenter kept asking, pointing to various places on the column.
But so accurate was the tea-master's sense of proportion...

A master of himself cannot be fooled by an average person wanking about, and wankers more often than not lose themselves in their wanking.

It's Freud's birthday today!
Say something nice about him /lit/!
People heavily misunderstand him and the way they write him of as a hack is wrong and more often then not based on ignorance and what they heard from other clueless people.
Here is the red pill on Freud (yes fuck that term but whatever)

It's actually quite good. If you've read enough of the basics of psych and philosophy to not get overwhelmed into thinking it's some sort of perfect system, Prometheus Rising is one of the most thought-provoking books out there.
Ok now, you may laugh at me for whatever reason, buuuuut, after playing the game "Dante's Inferno,"
I'd like to read the book the game was based off of. I heard there were different translations/books or whatever???
What's the recommended way or book to read Dante's Inferno? (Is it inferno or "the divine comedy?") All help is really appreciated. I just really want to read it.

Hi, italian guy here who spent a lot of his highschool time to read and understand the book "The Comedy" by Dante Alighieri, called "The Divine Comedy" after Petrarca's review.
I liked the game "Dante's inferno" too, however, it has nothing to do with the book:
- Dante was never a crusader, he was a knight in his youth that fight for his city Firenze
- Beatrice was never kidnapped by satan, she just died and went to paradise
- Beatrice was just a beautiful woman but...

>I can read 500 pages in 1 hour
Is this fuck lying? And if not, how can I become him?
Be born already gifted into circumstances where that gift is encouraged so you get even better.
I couldn't even flip 500 pages in an hour.
you don't need to become him
just be glad he's reading for US
stand on his shoulders
Does anyone else feel something akin to sea sickness while reading dense, inscrutable, and turgid prose? Hegel in particular fucks my shit up. It's worst when the diction is super repetitive.
"The battle of Spirit within one's Spirit is an immutable transaction of modal differentiation of Spirit abounding from one's Spirit in a spiritual sense, spiritually."

it's probably clearer in german

I think he's talking about spirit.
