Douglas Frederick was far more eloquent.

Any books on what life as a member of the 1% is like? Something where they’re also honest on how they see themselves in the grand scheme of things compared to the plebs.

I'm sorry, but if you see 4chan as le sophisticated erudites' club then you must have never actually been interested in anything beyond basic bitch level. Enjoy your honeymoon period, I guess.

>The famous feminist Gloria Steinem at one point stated, “you became a semi-nonperson when you got married.” She also famously coined the expression 'A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.' Steinem dismissed marriage in 1987 as not having a 'good name.' Steinem got married in 2000, stating that the symbols that feminists once "rebelled against" now are freely chosen, or society had changed.

When did you realise that the ideal of being well read was a harmful meme propagated by the academia-media-publishing industrial complex?

"Good peon... Focus on the barely disguised narcissistic memoirs of some dead person... Books are mind enriching... Consume more books... Never mind that the information age has made a mockery of information's value as a commodity among people... You're just so curious about the world and such a voracious reader, aren't you, peasant...

That psychologist's new 400 page book based on lab experiments and that could be summarised in 5 pages has been read by most people at your local cafe! Imagine the embarrassment if they find out you haven't read it... You're right, enjoyment is an immature state... That continental philosopher has such profound and non trivial insights about our society, it seems like you now have another 12 books on your "must read" list in order to be well read... Don't forget the conservative tradition, that's another 20 books you must read... No, don't ask any meta-questions or ask whether they work within self referential citation ring systems with unfalsifiable theories and trivial insights; bad peasant! Your dinner party guests would be shocked to hear that!

This 1200 page post-modern masterpiece references 500 works that you must also read before you die... No, don't fall asleep while reading it! The cover quote calls it, "Frequently hilarious!" Maybe you haven't read enough to fully appreciate it?"

>Guys, is literary merit objective or subjective

IT IS OBJECTIVE YOU IDIOT PLEB

>Guys, why is this Harvard educated Princeton professor telling people to throw books in the trash if theyre by white men

LITERARY MERIT IS SUBJECTIVE YOU PLEB

>Guys, shall I skip the republic and just focus on the ideas behind it? I am not much interested in a wank fantasy about a form of government I dont care about.

NO, THE PHILOSOPHERS MATTER JUST AS MUCH, IF NOT MORESO THAN THE IDEAS

>Guys, it is clear that the space for unfalsifiable ideas is an infinitely sized space. Why should I care about certain ideas over others if even the selection of criteria is an unfalsifiable assertion?

SHUT UP AND DO WHAT THE ACADEMIA-MEDIA-PUBLISHING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX TELL YOU TO DO, PLEB

>Why is literature seen as a philosophical endeavour instead of an entertainment endeavour?

STOP ASKING QUESTIONS REE REE REE

>Does Kendrick Lamar have greater artistic achievements than you will ever create?

NO NO NO, BECAUSE HES BLACK. ALSO FUCK OFF /POL/!
