Not trying to bait or hate, just a genuinely curiously brainlet: why is Shakespeare revered as one of the greatest if not the greatest writer of all time?
I had to read one of his plays every year starting from middle school to high school, and I never really "got it." Nothing about his plots, use of language, or understanding of the human psyche particularly stand out to me.
And it doesn't help that he's writing in a language that's very difficult to understand as a modern English speaker.
There were many other "classics" I enjoyed a lot more. The Old Man and the Boat, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Crime and Punishment to name a few. I'm not saying Shakespeare is bad, but what is supposed to distinguish his works from other members of the Western canon?

You're clearly too much of a pleb for this book so yes it's time to quit. Maybe J.K. Rowling will write a new Harry Potter book for you if you tweet at her enough.

I don’t care. Believe what ever stupid shit you want dude. Deep down you know it’s all fucking fake and just a window dressing for your personality. Nobody seriously believes this shit. Nobody with legit schizophrenia at least.

>why yes I pick fights on /lit/, instead of reading proper philosophy which refutes me, how could you tell?

Im a third of the way through ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’ and I’m finding it incomprehensible. I am reading it wrong?

The people here are fucking insane. Multiple types of intelligence means you must be a commie SJW who thinks IQ is problematic. The fucking IQ tests themselves have their own categories. And peoples' performance within categories varies. That variation is influenced by your overall score. High IQ scores have more variation in the subcategories.
