/lit/ - Literature

What level are you on?

Is this accurate?

Have you ascended yet?

>As all knowledge is inherently founded on faith, it is a personal choice as to whether to include religion in a consistent worldview.

Found this table in archives. Thoughts, books, authors on this particular statement.

Would this statement imply that even our perception of reality is based on faith and rational arguments against religion (such as ones developed by R. Dawkins) lose their value as they are seen to be based on faith as well? What would it be based on?

You're low on this scale, you're like a babby taking its first few steps.
Yes, people are dumb, but you getting angry over it means you're not there yet, you're taking life too seriously, you're too connected to the material world. Come back in a few years and see how ridiculous your post is.

Guys, intellectually I'm all spooked out. I can't stand philosophy because of all the unfalsifiable garbage. Many fields like economics etc are just applied common sense and stamp collecting. I see novels as nothing but entertainment despite pretentious people claiming life / philosophical insights and tonnes of people will consider you a disgusting plebeian if you don't initially read shitloads of boring as fuck canon novels.

I think I am painfully adapting to the idea of the Internet age / information overload by abandoning any pretension that I can be an all rounder or even dilettante in everything. There are ten trillion books called "Introduction to [broad and important field]", even if you only have one of each field.

History is similar to novels. Shitloads of reading along with a shitload pretension thrown on top telling you that you truly cannot no nuthin unless you have an in depth understanding of the Greeks / Romans / Christianity / USA / WW1 / WW2 / financial systems / or shitloads of other topics I can't stand it. And then there's current events. I don't care about climate change, outer space, inequality, China, the EU, applied psychology, the education system, diversity, Russia, South America, refugees, nutrition, mental health, and more. Admitting just one of these would make me an iredeemable idiot, no doubt.

Has anyone else had similar thoughts? The spooks are powerful and must be removed but their removal leaves your mind in a promordial state that is more susceptible to spooks than before.

I go to the city centre and see people shopping and the streets are busy, which is comforting compared to when they're empty, but walking through then brings no epiphanies.

I am so past watching movies or tv shows, even ones that pander to "edgy" young males. I just about read books but only because society tells me I should, though I don't derive much enjoyment

And obviously I have an existential crisis but /lit/ is fucking pathetic in demanding that anyone who has one should immediately "grow up" and become a monotheist and wagecuck. I fucking hate wagecucking. Seeing attractive young people is humiliating. I tell myself every day that I'll soon work intensely on one thing but I can't bear to do this. If you're really good at one thing then there are people lining up to call you a tard for not watching opera or being able to run a marathon or whatever shit. So I do nothing.

Every "thinker" is at their core an utter fucking fraud. Nietzche is a Tony Robbins tier Rorschach test. Science and mathematics provide non trivial insights but only in ultra specialised ways that probably require autism to appreciate. I listen to In Our Time podcasts and Bret Easton Ellis podcasts and I think at heart everyone cares about nothing more than social drama.

I think we all need to man up and admit that money, youth, videogames, and good looks are as good as it gets. But not everyone gets.

Who else infinity (∞) tier knowledge?

1) trust what modern science tells us, but don't pretend it tells things it actually doesn't
2) free yourself from spooks
That's basically it.

Who else Misguided Medieval Monk tier? Let us have a little chat. I just reread Boethius' Consolation: beautiful, comfy and I very much like its dialogue form.

Who /level ∞/?

Feels good man.
