Shakespeare himself has blessed this thread with ridiculous gets.

This thread puts me in a hell of an ass-pussying mood

Made me laugh. Dark Tower series is not bad and writes some pretty good character. But his endings are pretty much always terrible.

Is this peak /lit/?

>I noticed people who do not drink coffee actually shit throughout the day at unpredictable intervals which is rather disgusting. Especially considering they are wiping with just toilet paper and nothing else, at least here in the American workplace. You can smell the remnants of shit of such a one. I sometimes ask out of curiosity when I catch a whiff, if they drink coffee, building up my line of questioning with subtle pretexts. Almost always the response is "NO", as if caffeine was a hard drug. I say in my mind, "well that was obvious the moment you came into olfactory range." and just walk away after that, sometimes ending with closings of chit-chat should I have the misfortune of dealing with them again (well gotta go, see you, buh-bye!).

Is Rationalism basically the final form of intellectual enquiry? I don't mean scientism or anti religion. I mean simply ignoring the bullshit and taking an intellectual, honest, fact based punt at any question without all the bullshit like religion, unfalsifiable continental shit, political correctness, ethical considerations etc.

I mean, who's doing any better? For any important question, autistic Jewish bloggers probably are much more capable than typical academics

>have nothing to do in my government job
>just sit and read books on the computer
>done more reading than ever
>literally being paid to read

The government saw my patrician potential so they pay me to read in order to take advantage of the power within these old books. Probably the Prime Minister herself ordered my coworkers to not even distract me by socialising with me.

Will lit ever be able to accept that novels are merely part of the entertainment industry?

I think everything surrounding literary culture is beyond redemption. Complication and dullness are seen as sophistication and intelligence. Simplicity and fun are seen as evidence of idiocy

1. I really hate how you have to produce things in your free time or do"worthy" hobbies or else people see you as subhuman. People terrorise me by turning everything in to work, whether it's reading ("Read these old and boring books and claim you enjoyed them!"), learning programming ("Use these overcomplicated learning methods and languages or else you're dumb!"), or literally fucking anything else. Only being solitary can lead to relaxation as socialising is obviously the most Darwinian activity of all, where you are mostly judged on your genetics.

I fully trust my intuitions and intellect and my no bullshit outlook on the world. But the snakeoil salesmen and pseudo intellectuals never fucking shut up about how you should read

2. What the voices in my head have been saying today (first two to be said in a mock female voice):

>Eww, like, he's not Chad!
>I don't hold the door open for betas!
>The train is going to Wimbledon. The Wimbledon tournament is taking place. It's like pottery, it rhymes.
>Consummate jailbaitcore
>Consummate milfcore
>Consummate kinocore

3. I realised that so much of what I think about doing is mere preparation when I should be doing stuff, and learning, doing, and judging should all be done at the same time or almost immediately. I'm sick of feeling like I have to constantly be in "preparation mode". This is linked to point 1.

4. Why is it that all normies fit in perfectly with each other while I have zero social life and am the ugly loser loner beta at work? Is it due to my ugliness and betaness? Life is so easy for normies. I actually read a Schopenhauer quote which said worthwhile people don't fit in with the masses at all. I'll use that as hope but let's be srs, it is coping.

Why can't you start that right away?

Good work at being an intellectual coward.
