I prefer genres like weird fiction, transcendentalism, and children's literature, such as picture books, because they deal with themes outside of the interpersonal domain of humanity. I do not find the way human beings communicate or interact with each other meaningful. However, I find more meaning in both natural and weird phenomena. For example, I find the biodiversity in the ocean (e.g., Nicola Davies' Dolphin Baby!) or otherworldly experiences (e.g., Arthur Machen) more interesting than how another human being bonds with another (e.g., Nabokov, Dostoevsky, and much more). Whenever I read too much literature that dwells on how human beings communicate or understand one another, I grow weary. Anyone like this?

I also find reading philosophy a waste of time because I consider myself genuinely the greatest philosopher and mystic of all time. What's the point of reading philosophy further when you have your general worldview figured out already?

And yet you're posting here for at least communication, if not commiseration and confirmation. So... Know thyself a bit better, great sage, because you ain't practicing what you're preaching.

Humans are social creatures, it's in their nature to interact with each other.

What’s your worldview?

I don't actually; you're just that transparently full of shit--well, transparently to everyone but yourself. (Providing your whole post isn't tongue-in-cheek, which I'd lean towards believing)

I don't really feel like a social creature, honestly. All I want is a literary agent in order to focus on my artistic project. This picture kind of defines what I am like, but unlike Lovecraft, I prefer talking to myself instead. While being enchanted with this world, or what may possibly lie beneath or beyond it, I pretend there is another "me" within my mind which I joyfully babble to. I find this more enriching than wasting time with faggots like you.

>transcendentalism
Change transcendentalism to nature writing. I actually do not know why I chose to say transcendentalism. Anyways, those are my three favorite genres of literature.
