what? i talk about literature all the time. i make threads about literature all the time. i do not underline literature like i do nonfiction in an effort to appreciate literature on its own terms, even. that i dont talk about literature in this thread means to you that i don't at all?
whatever, you're just bait at this point.
it's honestly hard for me to imagine someone as dumb and full of idiot assumptions--assumptions you take as certainty, for some reason--even exists.

ima extrapolate and guess you aren't a successful, happy or very admired man. just log-off, bro. even other anons are making fun of you at this point. oh but wait, im sure that's me, cause only i could see you for the braindead filth you are. bye!

Real talk. For someone who's never read about dudes like Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Hegal, Marx, Nietzsche(I've read some), Sartre. What's really the benefit of reading these people's work? Is it solely so that I can turn my nose up on smaller minds once i've finished or will reading these mens books actually improve my life somehow?
