>unironically reading Pope

In my shitty room above my computer I have the names of short stories and maybe novels im writing. so whenever a friend comes into my room (which is not often) they ask what that is and I tell them. Sometimes they ask to read what I have and sometimes say nothing more. When they ask to read my writing 90% of the time I tell them its not ready which for the most part is true. But I am afraid they will feel like the horrible shit I write is the true persona of myself which would only hurt me.

My parents read a little and recently told me they didn't even know I still wrote and asked if they could read it sometime. Which would probably be a very bad idea. They were quite innocent and I believe the should stay that way. I love them and don't want to show them vulgarity or sickness created by their son. But sooner or later if I keep going they will see it all.

>How would it be different from what we have had for all of our existence as a species

Go to western 18th century, and the "collective unconscious" is virtually irrelevant. Culture is guided and defined mostly by private outlook.

But go to several historical Eastern environments, say, China, India, etc., and you'll easily find it.

or he's just being completely honest about his favourite books, but w/e. gotta pose gotta rep right?

>I mean really, how do people believe in these thought constructs so devotedly and earnestly?

They haven't autism'd their capacity for poetic nuance out of themselves like you have.

Stirner has done a lot on this board to make kids even more pleb than they were before reading him. No they see "spooks" before they feel pathos. It's a shame.
