David Foster Wallace has an essay about it. Take the word of the greatest writer of the late 20th century.

>hmm isn’t it interesting that when I was a child I read children’s books but now that I’m a more intellectually mature adult I read more complex literature that would’ve bored me as a child
Why the fuck do you need to make this thread? Retard, of course you wouldn’t have liked it when you were a child, though the fact that this seems like a revelation to you rather than being an obvious progression makes me think that perhaps you aren’t so intellectually developed.

I don’t really care about America’s one drop rule.
But I find it insulting that for the celebration of Dumas, they did a cartoon of his most lauded novel (the count), but they didn’t base the cartoon off of his novel, they based it off of a Hollywood adaptation that butchered the story, you can tell because the cartoon doesn’t include Danglars at all, even though he’s the most explored object of vengeance. Google claim to care about this author, but not enough to read his fucking books

>muh debates
American “Intellectual” debates are the epitome of sophistry and a symptom of the horrors of modern discourse.
Debates are pure sophistry for people who want to turn philosophy into a game they can win for dopamine rather than having a discussion where all participants seek to approach truth from ignorance, acknowledging short comings and finding solutions.

>my love is fickle because it’s dependant on the reasons I fell in love with the person being maintained
I don’t know what I can say, this seems like a fair opinion to hold. it’s not like I’d drop someone immediately, I’d try to fix the relationship first for a significant amount of time until things begin to improve. However I will not stay in a relationship with someone who can never be what I want just to spare their feelings
