Might be true, I don't know. Doesn't seem to be but will need to investigate further.

Cope for little faggot who can't get into philosophical debates because he's too fucking dumb. Philosophy laid ground for anything and everything and literally have met dozens of people who were graduating in literature and asked them why instead of philosophy. All of them answered that they thought philosophy was too abstract and difficult for them, they were too low IQ. Faggots who prefer fiction over philosophy almost always are low IQ dumbasses who can't understand higher and more abstract concepts.

What the fuck is up with this fiction meme? Just from reading a chapter of Schopenhauer or Spinoza I learn a thousand times more than any fiction writer and just as much, if not even more pleasure. Wtf is this bullshit?

Fiction is the poor man's philosophy. Prove me wrong.

a "women are dumb" thread. Read Otto Weininger and Schopenhauer's "On Women", nigger.

You're just a fucking racist.

>ask women why they read fiction instead of philosophy, also ask those graduating or graduated in literature instead of Phil
>they all unironically say that they are too dumb to understand phil
wtf

What is this bullshit? Reading fiction is just such a fucking waste of time compared to Philosophy literally wtf

>reading 5 pages of Schopenhauer feels more intellectually-stimulating and pleasurable to me than reading 100 pages of Dostoyevski
What the fuck is this bullshit? Why does fiction even exist in the first place? Reading philosophy just blows all of fiction out of the water wtf

Women are absolute trash and are worthless human beings. Our greatest mistake has been to consider them as belonging to the same species of human beings. women are absolute trash.

Lolita.

There is no philosopher who can cure the ailments of the mind and rid us of our sufferings and trouble-

>philosophy
>extremely intellectually stimulating
>gives practical advice
>can calm the mind
>give purpose to life
>creates a system by which all knowledge is possible
>creates wisdom in men and allows them to live a meaningful life

>literature
>it passes the time xD lmao

Why the fuck is this not a /phi/ board first and foremost rather than a /lit/? Theres just no comparison between the two.

Why read literature when you can read "philosophy as therapy"? It's much more effective and intellectually-stimulating than reading novels. You get the best of both Worlds, the knowledge of philosophy and the entertainment value of literature and combine them into something truly beautiful.

The perfect guide to life doesn't exis-

>tfw you finally get that sense of touch, sight, feel, sound and smell from literature

>tfw NEET
>don't work
>stay all day at bookshop
>go home and stay all night reading
>still feel that Life is too short for all I wanna read
Anybody else feels like this?

Writing itself.

You won't make any money out of it.

>>13598779
I did.

>tfw you finally realize that reading fiction is just unhealthy escapism and Chad is actually living out his fantasies instead of dreaming
How do I deal with this feel?

>book just makes you more depressed
What's the point?

from all the other ones*

based.

People only write fiction books because they find the front seats all occupied by the geniuses who discover whole new truths and so they decide to go to an inferior, useless theater (which is literature) instead where they don't have (or don't expect) to sit on the back seats. They can create something wholly new with fiction because they can't with non-fiction. It requires true genius to write a book about a new metaphysical system but virtually anyone can write a fiction book - however mediocre it might turn out - which is more or less new and different from all the ones. People can't do that with philosophy, because it requires a true genius to discover something wholly new.
