How can you know it as truth that this truth is unknowable by design and not just unknown?
And if you know that it is unknowable by design doesn't that make it the truth about this now known truth?

>come at the king you best not miss

Seeing 4channers talk like this makes me cringe.

I guarantee none of the gravitas or significance associated - even only in reference to charisma or masculinity rather than any sort of leadership position - with the word king have ever been connected with you.

> TELL instead of SHOW

Goddamit this is what puts these over the edge for me. When these fucking morons criticize something with a concept they clearly do not fucking understand it puts me on full tilt. They just hear someone say that once and suddenly think it applies to anything they don't like.

Maybe not these exact people, but there are people who can actually willingly sit and read 'Ready Player One' and 'Harry Potter' as fully grown adults and actually convince themselves that Woolf is 'telling not showing' and people who like difficult writing are actually just being dishonest. It is so crazily egotistical.

We all have to perfect that, anon. Just keep it with the good works and improve.

>Prove it to me. Tell me a word which doesn't exist. Agree with everything else, though.

Are you serious?

There is no word for the state when I am specifically working out the equation 2+3+4+=9

There is no word when I am specifically in love with blue unicorn that defecates constantly

There is no word for sharing consciousness with a goldfish who has dementia but only on Wednesdays.

But to answer your OP, your should read DFW's short story THE DEPRESSED PERSON (the title is in all caps)

Manipulative is probably the most vague word that definitely captures all of what you are describing, but it also describes quite a lot else which isn't part of what you are describing.

I would look up specific forms of manipulation.

The ride never ends.
