Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Haven’t read that I got rly into Nietzsche and read On The Genealogy of Morality not too long ago that was a good read but he also kinda has some shit takes as well. I don’t use it as a mode of following some dogmatic belief system but more just to reflect n my own experiences.

Sounds good, I’ve heard a lot of people criticize his text

He delves into some weird stuff and a lot of his examples are questionable. But I think the core doctrine that he follows is interesting and holds pretty true to most of life, especially in the perspective of most normies.

Read Schopenhauer, bpers will always love him. On Women is good, you can read a collection of his essays. He also has good aphoristic works. If you like aphoristic works you can read the french moralists who are also pretty blackpilled (their central concept is egotism) or Lichtenberg. There is also Nietzsche's aphoristic works like Gay Science, which is inspired by the people already mentioned.

If you're more interested in systematic philosophy, you can read Descartes' meditations, then Leibniz's monadology (he has other good short philosophical works that describe his views, many things are in his letters though), then Spinoza's ethics. Berkeley really belongs in the rationalist tradition, and his essay on the human understanding is very impressive. Then you can read Kant's critique of pure reason or Schopenhauer's TWAWAR. Earlier works by Plato might be better than all of this though to start with.
