Recently, every sci-fi series I've been reading on an ongoing basis, for several years, have all descended swiftly into tone-ignoring SJW political preaching. It's stunning.
I'm not saying I want to read stuff that panders to my political views, I just want stuff that isn't preaching bullshit at me. I'm happy if it's essentially politically neutral.
So, any recommendations for recent series that aren't full of preachy nonsense? Also I guess general author vs work/should authors fill their books with politics thread.

Oh. I always thought that reading fiction helped improve one's imagination, creativity, vocabulary, reading comprehension, visualization, and abstract thinking.
You've really opened my eyes, thank you.

I want to start with philosophy, where do I start and where do I head to from that?
Please, keep the "muh greeks starter pack" jokes to a minimum, I really need guidance here.
Start with the Greeks.
Pick a subject first. Starting with the Greeks usually gives people an idea about the history of philosophy and the evolution of the questions being asked. If you have something specific in mind then maybe someone can give specific advice. If not, get yer ass to Miletus and start with dem muddafuggin Greeks.

They are a bit on the dated side, especially Skinner, since he was the last of the radical behaviourists and still had a locked-away view of cognition, but he paved the way for Bandura and his Triarchic theory, which was a great step into a nuanced point between the tensions of the medical model and the psychological/social...

What do you think of this thread ?

Good. He was also aware of racial differences and despised immigration which made his writing better. "Niggerman" is a great name for a cat.
