I’m looking for good books on:

  • logic

  • epistemology

  • Western thought

  • Eastern thought

  • tropes

  • media

  • DIY

  • how to make things

  • how structures work

  • Organizational / Industrial Psychology

  • language and words (not necessarily linguistics but you can throw that in there)

Note: it doesn’t have to be from a Marxist-Leninist or Marxist perspective, but I would like that (but again, to emphasize, it doesn’t have to be).

Note #2: Also, throw in fiction or poetry in there if you have any suggestions.

    I agree.

    And, ngl, I honestly disagree with Vijay Prashad when he says “learn everything” and “do everything”

    “Everything counts”

    I disagree with that approach tbh

    Frankly, it would be best if MLs were more… specialized.

    Not everyone has to be a lawyer

    Or has to be a labor organizer

    Or has to study sociology

    Or communications or whatever

    Etc.

    It would be best if we honestly stopped being so… idk, polymathic (?) in our approach to things.

    It’s not really needed.

    When we’re ready, we’re ready.

    We’re not right now.

    Just stick to a few things at first and then maybe move on.

    You’ll appreciate the few things you study or cherish more

    But yeah, I had reservations about this list

    I am actually trying to cut the habit of “doom-scrolling” my own lists in my physical pocket notebooks.

    Or “doom-listing”

    Lmao
