Can a zoomer be a pseud? I am still young and there is no way I am as cultivated as some of you. I haven't read Ulysses or even the Odyssey. I also started book hoarding. Should a pseudo intellectualbe considered the stage between normie and intellectual or a person who pretends to know subject he knows nothing about?

Also I started book hooarding. I guess thats something a pseud would do. But I cope by saying to myself that I buy this books, because books will be banned in 10 years.

You're trying too hard to fit in. Just read what you like and don't worry if people here call it "pseud".

>> No.16506796

man just read in a way that builds upon itself coherently. The reason why "start with the greeks" is such a big meme is that if you're even a bit serious about literature you're going to go back and read Homer anyway.

Just read Homer, the athenian playwrights (aeschylus, euripides, sophocles, aristophanes), Virgil, The Bible and the Dante.

once you get to dante you will finally have learned how to read. congratulations.

You certainly qualify to be one. You are already more concerned about which books you should read to appear smart than anything else.
You already have the right mindset. Pseud status will come with time.

The key thing about pseuds is they posture as knowing more than they do without realizing it. So it's not really dependent on age. The only thing that really has an age gate is wisdom.

you're only a pseud if you pretend to be an intellectual but aren't.

You're still learning. So there's no shame in that. Young people are wrong about everything anyway. Simply invest in your brain power and make use of the enhanced learnability that comes with youth.

Nobody here reads, also, you shouldn't try to be like us. Leave this place and actually read book. Hoarding them is a first step. Find a short book that appeals to you and fucking read it. Do it today.

You can consider anything anything, but this is not a useful classification. It's anyone who isn't intellectual trying to pass as intellectual. No need for them to be non-normie or on their way toward any kind of development at all. Just memorize a bunch of quotes or say vague platitudes and buzzwords all the time and bam, you're a pseud.
