I love Stephen King, I've probably read like 15 of his books. My favourite was The Shining, and my longest was The Stand. I don't have many insights, I haven't touched his work in like 2-3 years. I'm a lazy slop of shit rn.

This book is called sneetches
It was either this one or the lorax so yk, the lorax is too mainstream. The sneetches actually matches that very well. The books message is anticonsumerist, cuz it was made by the punkest children targeted author oat, Dr. Doctor Seuss. Its antiblackpill as well if you think of it that way.

Iirc there was a lot of freaky shit in the book, it becomes evident that stephen king was EXTREMELY coked up when writing it

Flowers For Algernon
It’s about a retard that becomes high is through an experiment and befriends the hamster that was patient 0. He realizes everybody was mistreating him and realized that the hamster was being mistreated as well so he escapes with the hamster. They both start losing their intelligence and resort back to their original IQ. I really resonate with the main character the ending is bittersweet made me cry a bit

well since im a lazy bum In figured I'll just leave the thinking to my past self

here are some notes I took both on the nicomachean ethics

“Let us not fail to notice, however, that there is a difference between arguments from and those to the first principles. For Plato, too, was right in raising this question and asking, as he used to do, ‘are we on the way from or to the first principles?’ There is a difference, as there is in a race-course between the course from the judges to the turning-point and the way back.”

Aristotle here is describing inductive vs deductive reasoning. This also parallels with the ethical lesson he gives later. He describes men who can partake in good actions for the sake of the action itself(starting point) vs men who need a reason to partake in good actions(reasoning to the principles). This is somewhat allegorical to the self actualizing man vs the man who follows the herd. The self actualizing man partakes in action from his own being while the herdsmen reasons to an action from externalities.

he once again emphasizes this virtue when quoting hesiod

"And as for him who neither has nor can get them, let him hear the words of Hesiod:

Far best is he who knows all things himself; Good, he that hearkens when men counsel right; But he who neither knows, nor lays to heart Another’s wisdom, is a useless wight."

“Their life is also in itself pleasant. For pleasure is a state of soul, and to each man that which he is said to be a lover of is pleasant;”

Aristotle is saying that a life filled with virtue should in itself be pleasant. For if he is pursuing a life of virtue his function is being fulfilled and thus giving happiness. This is why he says a good man must enjoy virtue, if he didn’t it would mean goodness isn’t his nature.
This once again hints at Aristotle's elitism as the highest good you can attain is one of your nature which is hard or often impossible to change
