/lit/ - Literature

Why are there no more geniuses? Seems like we haven't had new geniuses since the last century.

Sure you have your magnus carlsens and Peter Scholzes, but where are the Ramanujans and Wittgensteins?

Read about language-games. Read Wittgenstein. Late Wittgenstein specifically makes a comparison between language-games and chess. Get informed.

Oh, to be in high school again.

you are all fucking idiots and /lit/ needs to be deleted. I hate you all and you are all going to live pathetic mediocre existences, you fraudulent posers. The fact that you have any self-esteem at all makes it clear that you are being pretentious, and yes I am talking to you. Don't even try to come back with another of your "clever, ironic" internet responses because I'm not going to look at this thread. /lit/ is nothing but a collection of the most insufferable cunts in the entire world and needs to be deleted. You are not smart, you are not talented, and you need to give up on your vain and pretentious dreams

Is it possible to become more passionate and intense? Is it all innate? I wish that I could experience life with more fervor, sometimes, because I always feel somewhat calm and detached. How did Wittgenstein become so ridiculously passionate?
