/lit/ - Literature

A lot of people on /lit/ who are trying to come off as intelligent by shitposting your academic philosophy meme books can all suck a dick. All philosophy boils down to this point: to teach us not to be afraid to die. The academic circle jerk philosophy is entirely unnecessary for this point. The only philosophy needed is Montaigne, and maybe some Plato, Aristotle or Seneca - even then, anyone who is not a fucking retard can arrive at their main points independently with some basic free thought. There’s a reason why people like Elon Musk and Bill Gates, who actually change the world, don’t read what you academic philosophy faggots consider intelligent, because the average capeshit movie has more practical life advice than your circle jerk books. One can open up any random page of Shakespeare or Tolstoy and find more life advice than entire volumes of your faggot philosophers. How does it feel to know that the average 14 year old girl has more wisdom than someone with a philosophy Ph.D? And a higher net worth, considering the six figures of student loan debt you retards accumulated.
