/lit/ - Literature

>It's like you're consciously portraying yourself in a way that you know and the reader knows and the reader knows you know the reader knows is ultimately false but which makes you look interesting or deep.
speak for yourself

the dissemination of Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν on /fit/ has essentially given hordes of neckbeards who have no life outside the gym and therefore no sense of real achievement the idea that it's okay to go to the gym to perform a bunch of meaningless exercises for their own sake or some vague bullshit sense of wellbeing, and that it is somehow inauthentic or unfulfilling to work out in order to be an aesthetic pleasure for others.

The idea of this whole infograph is stupid, like you are really going to immediately and deeply understand any of these books after reading them. TSZ, for example. Why even bother reading it if you're not going to read the rest of his books in order to have the slightest clue over what it's about. Cultivating your mind here means: being able to say you read it. The whole thing smacks of the sort of slapdash superficiality of those people who cite their favourite books as The Davinci Code, Harry Potter, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Catcher in the Rye, as if anyone with the slightest taste is not going to know you're full of shit. And wew, why read literature instead of self-help? Why read literature instead of philosophy?

>Don't be mad, is it because you do not even look like you lift?
that must be it
