Use Hardcover instead of GoodReads to track and review your boox

Their manifesto:
Frustrated by inconsistencies every time we used Goodreads, and out of spite for Amazon, we decided to do something about it. We set out to talk to readers from all around the world with a few simple questions: What is Goodreads doing wrong? Why does Goodreads fail to deliver on their potential? And what would your dream book platform look like?
What we heard was grim. Reader after reader wanted more. They wanted a platform that wasn’t stagnant, better recommendations, more stats on their reading history, less spam and fewer bugs. They wanted to escape Amazon and find underappreciated books by underrepresented authors.
They wanted a place that felt as warm as a familiar library, but as exciting as a midnight book launch party.
We decided to form a bootstrapped team and create a new social discovery platform for book lovers of all kinds! Whether you read or listen, we want to make it shockingly simple for you to discover new books, organize the books on your shelf, and make lasting connections with other readers.

Imagine writing about suffering meanwhile you were having fun in your life. You hate and demean men in your literature as if you haven’t
dated ton of men yourself. Absolute state.
Basically the precursor of “oh I’m doomed because i cant get chads attention”

>I am a sick man. ... I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my liver is diseased. However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for certain what ails me. I don't consult a doctor for it, and never have, though I have a respect for medicine and doctors. Besides, I am extremely superstitious, sufficiently so to respect medicine, anyway (I am well-educated enough not to be superstitious, but I am superstitious). No, I refuse to consult a doctor from spite. That you probably will not understand. Well, I understand it, though. Of course, I can't explain who it is precisely that I am mortifying in this case by my spite: I am perfectly well aware that I cannot "pay out" the doctors by not consulting them; I know better than anyone that by all this I am only injuring myself and no one else. But still, if I don't consult a doctor it is from spite. My liver is bad, well--let it get worse!

There is a certain kind of cognitive dissonance when I read western literature or even anything that isn't in relation with our culture. I enjoy them thoroughly but most do not remain relavent in relation to my daily life due to how different the circumstances that developed these works were.
I linger with the hope that there is still some obscure and experimental sahitya being developed that faces this question of schizo-culture head on. Literature reeks of eurocentricism but there is no doubt that there is a common denominator of universalization in the way ideas and concepts develop. But there is still some doubt in my mind.
Do people from /sa/ experience this?

hi anons, i’ve been wanting to learn about hinduism and indian history in an unbiased way. i don’t follow any left or right ideologies, and i’m not really active politically (or socially xP). i just want to understand the lore and the ideologies (like imperialism, communism, etc..) and how they came up, shaped people’s lives, and why people supported or revolted against them. even if it takes me months, i’m okay with that.
i just got done with my mid sems so i finally have a bit of time to explore this. if anyone also knows about spiritual or philosophical topics that offer some hope or direction, i’d love to hear about them too. i've always wanted to read something like what pewdiepie talks about with his books, stoicism, or mythology (doesn’t have to be indian, could be greek or anything else that feels meaningful).
i was born into a muslim family so i never really explored any of this before, but now i’m trying to learn things slowly... thanks!

Despair and the last man
Pseudonymous
MH
images.jpg
This is something that came up to me quite a while ago. Der letzter mensch, or the 'last man' is unequivocal opposite to the over-man in Nietzsche's work. But what is interesting is that he doesn't expound upon the last man as much as he does about the over-man(atleast explicitly) and as such the idea of the last man is not as popular as the 'ubermensch' in the wider consciousness. But then again, I'd say he talks a lot more about the last man implicity, warning about that flameless cauldron, that ambition-less, stuck-in-quicksand quality manifest within oneself, that falling to the obstacle of self-overcoming. He explains it better here—
"For this is how things are: the diminution and leveling of European man constitutes our greatest danger, for the sight of him makes us weary.—We can see nothing today that wants to grow greater, we suspect that things will continue to go down, down, to become thinner, more good-natured, more prudent, more comfortable, more mediocre, more indifferent, more Chinese, more Christian—there is no doubt that man is getting 'better' all the time. "
I understand the ideal of the last man manifest within oneself as : despair. There lacks any virility in despair. There lacks any ambrosia, any chirping of the birds, swaying of the leafs in spring's break, shuffling of the crickets, rumbling of the bushes, digging of the squirrels, humming of the bees, and the stealing of the honey by the bear! any vestiges of life–of liveliness, of triumph! nought but lack, lack and lack, suffice!
There lacks any movement in despair. Physically; its a wholly vegetative state and that is the last man(its not that one can think its that it matters not). That who shirks off their will-to-life like and an umbrella shirks off the barrage of rain pittering down its surface.
The last man is that who whilst living, has come to pass....
Note:- there is an interesting parallel to consider here with the practice of live-mummification amongst some buddhist monks.

Man, the bravest of animals and the one most accustomed to suffering, does not repudiate suffering as such; he desires it, he even seeks it out, provided he is shown a meaning for it, a purpose of suffering. The meaninglessness of suffering, not suffering itself, was the curse that lay over mankind so far – and the ascetic ideal offered man meaning! It was the only meaning offered so far; any meaning is better than none at all … man was saved thereby, he possessed a meaning, he was no longer like a leaf in the wind…he could now will something; no matter at first to what end, why, with what he willed: the will itself was saved.
We can no longer conceal from ourselves what is expressed by all that willing which has taken its direction from the ascetic ideal: this hatred of the human, and even more of the animal, and more still of the material, this horror of the senses, of reason itself, this fear of happiness and beauty, this longing to get away from all appearance, change, becoming, death, wishing, from longing itself – all this means – let us dare to grasp it – a will to nothingness, an aversion to life, a rebellion against the most fundamental presuppositions of life; but it is and remains a will! … And, to repeat in conclusion what I said at the beginning: man would rather will nothingness than not will.
–Friedrich Nietzsche, The Genealogy of Morals III. 28

>Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein was an Austrian philosopher who worked primarily in logic, the philosophy of mathematics and the philosophy of mind.
>Was born in one of the wealthiest family in Europe at that time
>Gave away all of his wealth and went to fight in WW1, which he survived and got awarded for
>Studied philosophy in Cambridge under Bertand Russel, many beleive he was the reason Russel left philosophy because Ludwig would constantly gaslight him into believing he's not capable of understanding philosophy
>Left his academic life by saying he has completed philosophy and went to some random village to become a teacher
>Reportedly grabed and hit the head of his student on to the table which resulted in a trial
>Came back again to Cambridge, calling his previous philosophy invalid and restarted again

This question was lingering in my mind after i saw some pics on twitter then i went to wiki of Kailasha temple at Ellora caves built in 8th century CE.
You can see the faided paints, some sections which retain paint.
That made me question - was it just specific to some temples or were most rock temples had this sort of color?
Can south indian temples give a clue at the type of color they used? or even greek statues - bright colors.
Do we have reconstruction of any temple with such colors, we never saw the same for Kailash temple which seem obvious to have painted.
