/lit/ - Literature

I openly admit that I'm not learned in lit theory, this is why literary fiction is boring to me

and I'm not interested in learning it either, the current "literary industrail complex" is pointless beyond the most basic understanding of literary devices and tropes in hero with a thousand faces

an understanding of literary theory, which you probably don't have either, doesn't really make a person particularly intelligent, and has a very limited use to the point that nowadays a person can be an intellectual ie mathematician, researcher, etc. without being well read

there are plenty of literary elite and even nobel laureate who don't know shit about how the world works

tl'dr liking old books doesn't make you any smarter, just like knowing a lot about antiques and how they correlate with modern technology doesn't make you particularly smart, so shut the fuck up and stop insulting my intelligence by implying that I like transformers man you massive hipster

mods deleted my story from yesterday
