/lit/ - Literature

Why is /lit/ so anti-empiricist? Is it because science is hard and you're lazy?

Or is it because you need to desperately validate your bachelor's in arts degrees in some superficial way?

Or is it because you were brainwashed to by your profs, and you being uncritical, swallowed it hook'line'and sinker and to admit now that you've been indoctrinate would be admitting to your lack of initial intelligence to see through the bullshit, so you now go along with the subjectivit/skeptic/egoist/nihilist/hedonist doctrines for fear or having to admit being wrong and mentally feeble/gullible?
