What's the purpose of literature?

ya dude totally

like I read these big ass dense as fuck books by heidegger and kant and shit I'm like what is the fucking point of this ok you write this shit and it's good but what drives a guy to write down and get all this shit published like what is the motivation to write and think about all this shit what's the point like there's a nice book in the end could be far simpler and you make a name for yourself but what caused you to do

those actions of 'deep thought/analyses' and writing and honestly I think the cause is suffering/anxiety like it feels bad to not have this shit 'solved' so you attempt this big ass shit to try and alleviate all that anxiety and shit like basically you writing that shit is a therapeutic attempt and dealing with the more fundamental issue at hand and that's that you're a suffering man who finds relief in analyses and literature like that's the motivation and cause for this product/book that you put out and it's not really aout dasein or being or bla bla it's that you feel like an anxious and suffering little man like the rest of us and this is your way of coping so I say why not just cut to the source

of this problem (your suffering) and address that rather than addressing it with a bandaid (philosophy) you go right to the source and that's your actual felt feelings of anxiety and depression and existential/suffering whatever and address that, like the problem is you feel like shit not 'the problem of being' or of apriori synthetics no it's your body and self feeling like a dead man walking so cut the bulshit and mainline some fucking afghani number 4 swallowed with a bar try not to overdose and boom all your 'philosophical questions/worries' and dissoved into a mist of warmth and comfyness. like why would these cunts even write this shit if they weren't suffering in some way there would be no motivation, imagine heidegger finding heroi

n instead of literature and kant just popping bars instead of addressing these oh so important questions that don't matter one bit in the slightest to getting fed or not dying in the rain or all the other shit that has to be dealt with before writing can even become a viable activity like honestly I think fuck these books they're just symptoms of a mans suffering so I'm going to cut that shit to the source and address that FUNDAMENTAL problem which is life being mostly a pile of misery and shit until you die fuck 'dasein and the extanness of the extant and all this pointless bullshit just cut to the chase and that's you are not feeling very good so cure that fundamental shit with heavy sedatives and painkillers and watch how you couldn't give

>mfw Christians are the new fedoras

>tfw philosophers all of have different dogmas and principles
>tfw no matter how much Hegelian voodoo you use you will never be able to synthesize them
>tfw artists have different aesthetics
>tfw no matter how much Hegelian sorcery you use you will never be able to synthesize them
>tfw you hop-skotch your way through 2500 years of philosophy and art having to learn and unlearn philosophical and aesthetic principles again and again and again ad nauseum
>tfw you try to justify this in vain with buzzwords like "liberal education", "well-rounded", "universal", "cosmopolitan"
>tfw you eventually give up like Faust and realize that there is no wisdom in the books of poets and philosophers, and resort to the occult
>tfw Goethe lied when he gave Faust a happy ending and you end up damned for eternity because of your pursuit for knowledge
>tfw you should have just played video games and prayed to the Blessed Virgin Mary and her Divine Son
