/lit/ - Literature

I don't like talking about what I hope to achieve. I believe in just doing something rather than saying "oh yah I'm writing this novel it's totally gonna suck but whatevs hehe!" Also if I fail I'm fucked and humiliated. I prefer to be the Red-Pilled Alpha Male Mysterious Dark Horse Pro-9/11 Truth Filtered Water Drinker than the loudmouth retard who thinks he's the next Kurt Cobain despite being 47 years old and only practicing guitar twice a week while stoned and drunk after returning home from a lumbermill job in Elkins, West Virginia. Contemporary literature frankly makes me want to puke. The self-promotion, the cuteness, the backslapping, the literary circle jerks, the political single-mindedness. The idea of "making it" in this world is laughable to me, because I never will unless I sell myself out (am I just excusing my failure in advance? hmmm). My goal really is to write a boss novel, get rejected 100 times, sperg out and upload it to PDF and post it on /lit/, /r9k/ and the /dep/ board on Wizardchan and become a cult phenomena, the first bard of the internet, the voice of the frogmen, etc. I want the 18-year-old autistic NEET applying for obs at this local Walmart in rural Missippi to read my work and feel relieved that someone is as fucked up as him, yet possesses the necessary humour and mental strength to articulate things that are pretty hard to find in literature. I want females to read my books and feel "wet" (?) due to my ability to understand their perspective(s) and to articulate it in a frank and honest way. I want to be the voice of the refugee skeptics, the people on the verge of turning away from art in disgust, the losers (self-described and otherwise), the lonely and the irredeemably uncute. I want to break free from your lies you're so self satisfied I don't need you I've got to break free. God knows, god knows I want to break free.

This stuff. There's no Truth, and even if there was one, what would it even accomplish?

Don't chase "knowledge", chase things that could make you money and leave you satisfied. Macroeconomics is outside your control, so why not read a cooking textbook and learn to cook? Learn carpentry with a book or two and some tools, plumbing, IT, code, healthcare, haircutting, chess, juggling, etc.

Focus on things that flex your brain and make you actually learn skills, things where you can see tangible improvement and impress other humans. "Wagecucking" is being unhappy working, but the reality is that if you have drive, you can become good at something that provides utility to employers and have a lot of bargaining power with them. Better hours, raises, longer lunch breaks, etc.

So how would you spend your daily freetime -- an hour of reading and practicing to make some good food out of whatever's in your kitchen, or an hour spacing out over Nietzche? Which has more benefits to you as a human in a world where you *must* interact with other humans, eat, drink, and survive?

Your issue goes beyond /lit/ and into self-improvement. Maybe just spend less time on your thinkpad and stop jacking off.
