    one i don't like at all: a thousand plateaus- deleuze and guattari.

    i have a list of a few i like, but they border on art theory.

    Have you ever read Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter?? In incorporates math, philosophy, art theory, and music theory. I highly recommend.

    Oh, like abstract art ? I'm more into mindset philosophy. Like Stoicism is something I really appeal too and inducing stress a.k.a Positive adaptation.

    You can focus on that on you can get deeper and realize that the will to power or self mastery where in self-control of our desires and emotions is the ultimate form of power.

    listen, if you want to have a good philosophical debate on nietzsche vs kant or whomever, i’m going to have to get really stoned first so i can tolerate all the forthcoming condescending monologues i’ve come to expect from talking with people about this *kitten*. and it’s the middle of the day, so not very appropriate time to light up.

    please excuse me, i have to go respond to the thread asking if i could beat someone in arm wrestling. <3

    Lol I'm not into arguments, I'm just about to finish work and head to my soccer game. And I doubt I can have any conversation with you after you're stoned, perhaps if you'd like to join me for a cup of some psychedelic mushrooms that would be super. Need to set a specific date and time though haha.

    i'm quite articulate when stoned, thank you. and the last time i was on mushrooms I spent the entire time log rolling down snowy hills.

    Good for you, still not keen though.

    That's pretty crazy hahaha !
