Don't care. 99.99% of any new people I would talk to is out of obligation, not really a expecting for them to impart anything of value. Basically this >>15412895

I've had people tell me that the way I talk is funny. I understand what they're saying and get that they're being polite but I guess I'm too autistic to turn it down enough that it wouldn't draw attention.

Vanilla rationalism is the most unequivocally autistic rebbit shit imaginable.
Ontology is not reducible to logic. There isn't an argument or an identifiable truth value to everything. In fact, you will never be able to quantify everything you'll never understand. You were feeling sad and read some shit in a book and now don't even realize you're getting swallowed by your own asshole.
Genuine intelligence is multidimensional and multidisciplinary, operating in the real world on many different levels. You're over-prioritizing the shit that happens to fit inside your head.

Well don't cry about it, jeez.

It isn't a moralistic argument. The question should concern whether it is justified, which it absolutely is. Precognitive bias is an innate defense mechanism your brain has refined over hundreds of thousands of years as a means of survival.
The question is akin to asking if war is morally wrong or if it is wrong for people to need sexual fulfillment.
Common courtesy would dictate that you rein it in, whether racism is morally wrong is a moot point.

Not trying to be rude but I'd assume you haven't read much of any of the English literary canon given how entry-level your taste in music is. On that basis, something short and sweet that can get you in the conversation of the average /lit/ poster.

Take a stab at Blood Meridian if you're feeling ambitious. Also, don't make posts like this. Pretty shit thread.

When I was a teen cutting class to get high behind the Big Lots. My face was completely numb and the epiphany struck me dull through a haze of clumsily chewing donut holes while we drove around the lake that I'm basically a retard in comparison to the greatest feats of intellectual progress. Didn't bother me then, couldn't give less of a fuck now. It's only hard to temper my ego when I'm constantly inundated with retards of a lower order.

Not him but, it is extremely evident that if everyone were to live out of their ego and their own sense of morality. The world will be a chaos.

What's the worst thing somebody (irl) has asked you to proofread? How did you break the bad news to them?

Does anyone else here not really read any fiction? Or maybe only a bit?

It's trash. Dante was certainly inferior to Shakespeare.
