some guy the other day posted that list of Nabakovs opinions on various books/authors, and essentially he said that Ulysses was not only based, but redpilled as well. Anyways i got baited into reading it but failed miserably

>wasted time reading literature instead of widening my worldview and accumuluating knowledge from philosophy again
God, I just wish I could get rid of all of my fiction; they are fun while you read them, but afterwards you feel like you could have spent your time more wisely than that.

no splz plz

You'll never convince me to care. This world means nothing. If all of it would fall to the forces of Evil, good would still prevail.

OwO what’s this *notices your bulge*

Disappointingly terrible movie. The cult was lame as fuck, the characters were annoying as fuck, the plot was disjointed and boring, and any attempt at some underlying meaning or message was non-existant. The main girl's anxiety/PTSD was never addressed except in the form of her having a panic attack/screaming fit every scene she was in. Her boyfriend was a fucking dickhead for no reason. The two friends were simply annoying and served no bearing on the development of the characters. Within the first 20 minutes i was excited for all of them to die, at no point was I rooting for their well-being. The cult had no kind of overarching set of rules or beliefs, it was a matter of throwing together vague occult iconography like a child trying to appear edgy and mysterious. Cults are fucked up, filled with monsters, child-molesters, drug-addicts, and murderers, and while the cult in the movie had these, non of these components were addressed, and at some points they were glorified or romanticized. 0/10 fucking awful waste of 2.5 hours.

"Literature is sort of like a bunch of memes referencing each other. The more you read the more connections you will see. This isn’t always the case"

I have things I need to do but I can't bring myself to actually do it, just like most people here. Instead I shitpost and scream on the inside.

Holy shit, first time I've ever watched one of his videos. Is this seriously the best that /lit/ can do? This is the great JP who is going to save us from the horrors of postmodernism? This pathetic "pull yourself up by your bootstraps and just get better, bro" moralizing that I could get from my high-school dropout grandfather is coming from /lit/'s new favorite public intellectual? Fucking hell, what happened to this board.
