shitpost here until you absorb it via osmosis

this

I want to study it more in depth than that, and without being exposed only to pol's opinions/beliefs.

Kind of this with a spoon of salt

Usually what I do is find someone I like who speaks on a topic from a thread
work my way around them
and then usually see who THOSE folks learn from, and sort of just daisychain your way through your own understanding as it grows.

Philosophy you're already in the thick off, just keep thinking and wait for something to unsettle you. You'll see what i mean when you do.

Economics though, you can just start at the essential square one:
Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell
Thorough, and the most not racist because sowells a blackman

Politics, you're looking right at it.

You might pick up some interesting historical points in Sowells book, so seriously, start with that and see where your heads at. Trust me.

>not being varied in your studies so you can make your own opinion
>being influenced by a hug box

off yourself

>>not being varied in your studies so you can make your own opinion

this is what i am trying to do, and asking how to.

>>being influenced by a hug box
this is what i am trying to avoid.

where is the problem?

Fucking chocolate rancher, thats exactly the point he's making you daft wannabe german

FPBP.

lurk more

Euhm, you specifically state that you don't want to be exposed to Sup Forumss views and beliefs and because of this you aren't varied in your studies since you, from the get go, cut through one source of information where, ironically, you are asking help from

And with
>being influenced by a hugbox
I mean exactly what you are now saying "I'm trying to avoid that"

If you need to avoid influence in order not to be influenced, you'll end up influenced; just by a different source
Learn to actively think about statements being made, moron

This is the best answer.

Thanks Australianon

Steam degree. Get a top payin job. buy books and read them in your expensive boat.

Technically he said didnt want to *only* be exposed to Sup Forums views, which is admirable.

And no matter who you are, you will always be influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by someone or something else. Being aware of this fact though aids in filtering out trash and not getting too caught up in an ideology.

>without being exposed only to pol's opinions/beliefs.

>only

pls read.

>Politics
The Prince by Machiavelli
The Republic by Plato
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

>Economics
Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt
Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell
The Law by Frédéric Bastiat
Man, Economy, and State by Murray Rothbard

>Philosophy
Second Treatise on Government by John Locke
Anything by Hume
Anything by Hans-Hermann Hoppe

>History
Conceived in Liberty by Rothbard

We're splitting hairs here
He's saying he doesn't want to just absorb whatever Sup Forums finds fashionable
Direct influence in other words

Otherwise the mission is a failure because influence happens the first time you step foot in Sup Forums. again splitting hairs.

but you can cruise through book recommendations, ask about it, and see what gets swept under the rug, what has suspiciously unanimous support, then you can go through the books as you would, and spread out from there. See who spits at the book recs, who doesn't etc. Always hold back just a little as to not completely get sucked into pretty ideas.

>steam degree

Does Gaben pay well? And do I get free steam games?

Seriously though, what do you do if you already graduated college with a basic ass degree and no real idea of what to do?

I only recently accepted i actually want to achieve or do something in life, but I'm not sure what to do now.

>Politics

Just lurk and pay attention, there's no real rigorous discipline or education to it beyond just basic civics.

>Economics

You need to read a lot. There are scarcely any hard truths in the discipline, but there is a lot of information required to get a working understanding of the field.

>Philosophy

This is easily picked up recreationally, but you do need formal training in philosophy of logic.

>History

You kinda need a formal education in history to distinguish bullshit and pop history from rigorous academic history. You really need to know who's who in a particular specialization or you'll end up with an arsenal of incorrect information.

>Law

Forget it. Without an extensive formal legal education and significant experience working in the field, any information to learn will be completely useless to you.

I wanna make a point on that philosophy bit
spread out to all the other philosophies too, east and west
Keep an open mind and an open eye out for any overlap in ideas, regardless of if those civilizations were in contact at the time or not.

Start with the greeks

This man already compiled a list of books to read that will give you a classical liberal education.

Ben Franklin's autobiography, The Pencées, etc.

Come home.

Go to college you dumb monkey

Throw in Hegel, Marx, Buddha, Mohammad, and Jesus too then.

Lolbergtarians OUT OUT OUT OUT

Solid.

I've got a political science bachelor's degree (and STEM PhD, don't shoot) and can honestly say Sup Forums has opened my eyes considerably.

Then again, I started left and have now come here, so I've seen it from all sides. Make sure you expose yourself to all sides.

Also, as far as reading:

Guns, Germs and Steel is an absolute must-read foundation book. That book sharpened my grasp of history 10 fold and calibrated my senses of the modern geopolitical landscape. Do yourself the best favor, and just pick it up, grab a beer, and start reading

Yup it all adds up
A good dumb westerners intro to eastern philosophy would be some A.Watts

Easy listening, but is only valuable when taken all at once, any of the published works are fine, he's an interesting fellow that sort of spurred the wests interest in eastern ways of thinking.
Youtube snippets are only useful for either quick reference or to give to someone who had someone die recently or something.

HOLY SHIT

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I DIDNT EVEN KNOW I NEEDED.

THANK YOU user

Good

>this
also would highly recommend Jack Donovan's The Way of Men, the first book that gave me a new and realistic view on ethno-nationalism and is all around the ultimate unc-uckener

I thought liberal = bad?

Was I memed?

watch tom leykis peter schiff and yaron brook on youtube

I'm about to be a social studies teacher actually.
Not even sure where to start.

classical liberal=Thomas Jefferson i.e. libertarian

Thanks man.

No you're just clueless as to whats a buzzword and whats a descriptor

Not like political compasses aren't bullshit abstractions anyway

THIS

THIS FUCKING THIS OP!!!

If you accept Sup Forums you will stay in wonderland and we will show you how deep the rabbit whole goes. We will show you the true meaning of civic national socialism, chinesian economics, frankfurt school philosophy, alternative history we live and allemanic law.

Reading

Quick question on this collection: would it be better to pick up the set as is? Or should I find each book on the list seperately?
