I'm chillin' in the crib - Page 3

I had a back workout today. It was pretty tough. There is quite a bit of volume there and being me I want to get after it with intensity. It takes it out of me. I'm glad I have a day off tomorrow. I miss the days where I could just go up 10-20 lbs. and smash it. It's really about grinding the reps where I can get them now.

I wanted to see when I "discovered" Byung-Chul Han. It turns out I "discovered" Byung-Chul Han in May of 2018. Loco helped me setup calibre (E-book manager) and shipped me the book The Burnout Society. That was before there was probably even one entry on him on YouTube. It was a dream to read Byung-Chul Han's entire library at the time and to anticipate his new books (essays) coming out.

People have been telling me on here for years that philosophy is a waste and that it's hurting me. That's a bunch of bullshit.

Loco's taste is dope:

Schopenhauer
Cioran
Ruins of Beverast
Gojira
Knocked Loose
Kublai Khan TX
Milo
MGMT "Little Dark Age"
Jason Molina
Songs: Ohia
Townes Van Zandt
Greek Hoplites
IDLES
Daughters

I'm sure there is plenty more I'm missing.

I was thinking my base is Sartre, Kant, Nietzsche. I still love Nietzsche. I love him even more. Sartre is interesting as a philosophical character but Heidegger was the better philosopher. I haven't read Kant since the Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morales in like 2011 when I got really into Michael Sandel's Justice course at Harvard. That's so crazy though. I just jumped into Being and Nothingness like it was nothing. I had the hunger. The other night I was reading Wittgenstein and was like fuck this. I was going to read Bruno Patino, Éric Sadin and Gilles Lipovetsky but they don't have any books in English. Then, I was going to read Katerina Deligiorgi, Jason Stanley, and Quill R. Kukla but I balked. I'm good with re-reading The Joyful Science and I'll find something to read after that.

It's just crazy to me that people on this site think reading is a bad thing.
