I keep asking but you just re-state your own point that the thinking is an after effect, so I ask again, why engage in the thinking if it changes nothing? I'm sorry for harping on this point but it's important

Who should I read if I consider social interaction silly?. That is, completely useless, and in fact detrimental. Filling your heads up with the ideas of Group Thinking NPCS through constant interaction is bad for intellectual and mental health. You know what's better for your health then social interaction or sex? Laying on a bed and fucking thinking for an hour. You may say "But if you don't talk to anyone, you'll go crazy." Perhaps. But in the same way salt water is worse then not drinking, interaction with Normies, NPC, ect, is poison. Interaction with a true quality mind is a gift, but most have their natural intellects and curiosities blocked by news stations, social media, their jobs they don't enjoy, fluoridated water and every method still legal for the public school system to make them Infophobic Bugmen.

It seems that a lot of people make fun of philosophers for having one or two stupid points or arguments. Isn't it better to just try to collect the various fragments of good ideas scattered throughout most philosophers and religious texts?

The ideas presented, most certainly. It doesn't matter if you wrap up a pig in the finest perfumes and make up. Still a pig. But, even a dirty filthy jewel is still a jewel.

See, I believe that an author should NOT use a "style." Rather, he should try to present his ideas in as plain a way a able. See, if an author undertakes a style it's as if putting on a mask. Instead, he should be fully invested and only concerned about communicating the ideas. The active removal of style allows the true, authentic voice to be heard.

Are there any book that is considered a masterpiece because of their ideas and story and not the quality of the prose (bad writing)?
