/lit/ - Literature

I just went into a thread on /tg/ and saw a post commenting on the state of the fantasy genre, then corrected somebody with a superficial remark incorporating the word "hagiographical", only because it gives me a tiny jolt of comfort to appear smart and clearsighted. Here I am to posture again. I wish I never fell for the rationalist meme that you can convince anybody of anything with a good-enough argument. It has literally ruined my life, partially because I feel the need to stick my nose into everything and try to comment about the situation, but mainly because it means I can never make peace with anything that happens, since I feel like it could have been averted by saying the right things to the right people. At this point I've known intellectually that this is wrong for many years, but I still deeply believe it.

I wish I took other people less seriously. I know their opinions don't really matter, but not only do I consider how they could matter practically, I take it too far and work myself up into a frenzy over what are apparently minor incidents.

I'm where I wanted to be in life, but it didn't make me happy, mainly because having a solid personal life (or solid in theory) doesn't really save you from the greater context of your dying dogshit society. Also, COVID made me hate everyone.

Also desu, not great how these threads have been becoming increasingly stifling pity parties over the past three years, not going to apologize for contributing thoe
