There were some great discussions going on in thread #1, of which I have not seen on here in a while, and it sends the commies into overdrive as they constantly get BTFO.
What are the best books/authors to read for enhancing my intellectual development, that will help me be more unassailable to the left with incontestable truths, instead of just calling them snowflakes, soyboys and muh Fake news.
>If you post a book/author reccomendation, say why you posted it
To all the commies reading this, prove me wrong on the below before you comment in this bread. (no meme flags, poo shills) >Communism generally removes individual incentives. Some people might think this is a benefit, since it eliminates greed and inequality, but it also destroys any sort of incentive to work hard. When you are compensated roughly the same regardless of how much you work, how strong you are, or how smart you are, why would anyone put in more than the minimal effort? Game theory works well here: if 1000 people work hard, everyone is 1000 times better off...until one person realizes he can do the bare minimum and still reap the rewards. Then the second, then the third, etc.
The picture in the OP is Admont Library in Austria >The library is the second largest monastery library in the world. The hall was designed in the late Baroque style by the architect Joseph Hueber in 1776. The ceilings were painted by Bartolomeo Altomonte and show the stages of human knowledge, up to the high point of Divine Revelation.
>Free to Choose by Milton Friedman BTFO's the idea of equality of outcome - that's my main takeaway but it's all great.
Jeremiah Wood
Carl Jung's Man and His Symbols has to be top 10.
Other than that I can recommend "Restoring Pride" by Richard Taylor, Esoteric Hitlerism, and Mein Kampf.
Nolan Martin
Book mentions from thread #1
>The Bible/Christ quite literally saved my life. I was an absolute hopeless degenerate. I was redpilled, aware of NWO and every conceivable conspiracy. I took an entire year out of my life to re-educate myself and was researching ~6 hours a day on the extent of how bad this world is.
>Dan Carlin good podast (not very political, its a good explenation of history though, lots of research)
>The Protocols of the (Learned) Elders of Zion. The single most important book published in the modern era. It is the playbook the elite are using. It's predicted every major development of the 20th and 21st century.
>I've been reading The Imitation of Christ and it's honestly probably had more of an impact on me than any other book. It makes me want to cut out any sort of degeneracy from my life and has helped me stop watching porn/masturbating.

I'll be sure to check it out. That is always an argument I struggle to convey.

Previous:
These books will make you smarter with vocab and logic.
Twain. TS and HF Stevenson. Treasure Island Orwell. 1984 and Animal Farm Jack London. White Fang (my favorite) Call of the Wild, Sea Wolf. Jules Verne. Journey to TCOT Earth, Around TW in 80 Days. Kafka. Metamorphosis, The Trial. Mary Shelley: Frankenstein (best book ever written by a female.... written in 1700s)
These were written in 1850 to 1910 with the exception of Frankenstein.
As a retired navy pilot and flight instructor, I recommend that each of you young people read EACH ONE of these books. They will make you smarter .... the books are riddled with logical dilemmas that the characters must tackle. Learn from the characters" failures.
WRITE THESE DOWN!
Evan Martin
>"The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. Needs to be read by emerging adults and then reflected upon once a year. Self examination, introspection awareness, without being preachy or condemning. Recommend it often to my crisis, drug clients.
>C.S. Lewis. He is one of my favorite authors due to his numerous and well-written books.
>Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Not really a political book, but lots of great shit about finding meaning in life, had a huge influence on me. Anyone who frequents /SIG/ should definitely read this book imo.
Blake Hill
>I tell everyone who mentions reading the Bible for the first time to start with Proverbs - an incredibly relevant/helpful self-help guide in an easy to digest format.
>The Rational Male...read it user and start spinning plates. Understand roasties...
>Millionaire fastlane by MJ DeMarco I read about 2-3 books a week. This is the single best book I've ever read. He summarizes about 30 other books and gets right to the point. Don't waste your time on other crap until you read this. Give yourself new skills, don't read history or any of that garbage. Money is the only thing that will leverage you in this world
Connor Perez
>The Geneaology of Morals, first essay by Friedrich Nietzsche. The point of this is not to BTFO soyboys but to situate yourself accurately in the intellectual world you inhabit. The inversion of values is the most general and important phenomenon in the history of the West and you have to understand it to understand anything. >Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. Literally the truth about economics, written with great clarity and concision. Teaches you how to think. You will not just "know the answer" but be able to really reason through economic "debates" with liberals. This one IS for BTFOing soyboys, and once you understand it you'll be able to do so without raising your heartbeat 1 bpm.

>The Fourth Way...read it user and start observing yourself without judgement. Understand yourself.
>Jesus studied with Buddhist missionaries from Alexandria, and his real father was a Roman soldier Pantera
>Read the Bible and read the quran, read the books of the hindus and buddhists. Pray to God to show you the true religion. I myself studied world religions extensively for three years before I made the (heavenly inspired) choice for catholic Christianity. My other interests are books on the subconscious and cognition, WWII history, biographies of Winston Churchill in particular, my favourite philosopher is Kierkegaard, and I followed some extra courses on sociology and psychology at university. I read a lot, that is why I went in this books thread on Sup Forums in the first place.

Carry on reading the OP. The title was just letting everyone know there was loads of commies shitting up the thread with a load of bollox.
William Peterson

Nathaniel Edwards
SIEGE by James Mason is top tier
Robert Walker
Also the author of "The Black Swan" and "Fooled By Randomness". Taleb is a mathematician. I think his comments on the Intellectual Yet Idiot class sums up our current higher educational and political climate. I've only listened to Antifragile on audio. I'd put it in my top 10 books I've read, if not top 5.

For anyone interested, "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why he Died and Why it Matters." Easily the most thorough, concise book on JFK's legacy and reasons for death, meticulously researched. It's strange, most wouldn't consider it part of the "conspiracy" side of things because it mostly focuses on JFK's struggle as president to turn away from his cabinet and fight for peace, but still drops MASSIVE redpills about Oswald, the Cuban assassins who killed JFK, and the CIA spooks who plotted the whole thing.
Seconding "Man and His Symbols." The way art is connected to psychology of the population toward the latter part of the book absolutely blew my mind, especially the analysis how art moved from figurative to non-figurative.

C.S. Lewis is seriously great. I can't claim to be a Christian but his books are top-tier apologism.
My recommendations (not strictly political): Godel, Escher, Bach Siddhartha The Illuminatus! Trilogy Star Maker Accelerando
Carson Harris
Nah senpai the book is about calling out all the bullshit movements here in the US and why their tactics can never work as in "dude if we just ask the Jews nicely then they'll stop subverting us" it's a very nice read and Mason talks also how the movement in the US turned into complete shit after Rockwell's death etc. And full details on why the US movement went to shit.
What's the book by C.S. Lewis that is a must read for people exploring Christian faith?

Mere Christianity. My dads atheist friend threw it against a wall halfway through and never picked it back up

Starship Troopers is a must read. It heavily pushed me down the path of becoming right-wing and seriously made me question my (formerly) Socialist beliefs about the equality of man and the way government should be ordered. It's not exactly hard history/philosophy, but for anyone looking for something on the lighter end of this thread, it's perfect.

I second this. It's not a verry big book and not difficult.
Yet one of the greatest books of our time. Explains the facts about lift and right wing politics plain and simple.

The #1 book everyone on Sup Forums should have read at least once in their life (earlier the better) is Catch 22.

Challenges religions including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. IMO has the most compelling arguments about how religion is bullshit yet still supports that there is a creator.
