Yes? Feeling mogged by the frog yet? Obviously my intellect's been immense from the start, but it took me some reading as a youngling to realize the scale and significance of it all; Calvinist predeterminism made me realize I'm one of the chosen few, and Hobbes gave me insight into the necessity of a supreme ruler and an aristocratic savior class, to which I presently see myself as belonging.

Don't judge Plato until you've read everything by him (at least the Republic and the late dialogues). Then you will get that even his seemingly simple Trial and death dialogues are works of immense genius.

At first I was going to reply with "who else would it be?" and then I realised that this description fits nearly every fantasy author I know about. They are either old (in which case the weight gain is a bit more justifiable) or they are all fat disgusting slobs that my eyes take no pleasure in looking at.

Look at this man in the picture above, if you dare even call him that; he appears to me to be more resembling some fat neckbearded gremlin that has weaselled its way into some family home like the fairy tales about changelings and such. When I first read A Song of Ice and Fire in my teen years, I rather enjoyed them. but one day, I saw a picture of his face, and something changed. I didn't bother reading the others after that point, because every time I read them, all I could picture was his bloated disgusting form lumbering in front of a keyboard typing every word. I couldn't get past the prologue of the third book. I don't like to think of myself as a shallow man, and I've read books written by ugly people before - Sartre with his stupid lazy eye and Darwin with his caveman brow along with many others - without it heavily impacting me in terms of the content of the writing, but I suppose it might have been that all the perverse freakshit going on throughout the book was exposed to me with that one image: he's not (or at least he didn't) write this all with some deeper concept about the nature of the human heart under heavy trauma and true suffering, but instead as a masturbatory aide, because his old age and complete disregard for his own health have impaired his ability to get erections. So he must create the most wicked fantasies, ones that require at the very least a modicum of good writing to make, but not to the end of something meaningful, not even to the ends of something entertaining, but to the ends of his own sick and perverse desires.

Not sure how I've managed to stay this shallow all my life. For some reason I never developed a drive to explore until adult age. I haven't actually read any philosophy either. It's conceited as hell, but whenever I look into an author like Nietzsche or Kierkegaard I feel like I've already worked my way through the relevant part of their ideas on my own and would get nothing out of it.

Anyone who puts books at 16 is either straight-up lying or placing the books he read at 18-22 in 16.
No one reads books at 16. You were all too busy with high school or playing vidya and picked up reading again as a freshman collegev student

Oh, would you look at that. I even read it as 18 because I didn't enlargen the thumbnail.

I read my dad's Tom Clancy books at lunch because I didn't know how to force others to make conversation. You are right, it wasn't reading as much as staring a page thinking about anthro dogs and how girls deserve to be torn apart by robotic factory machines.

During high school and collage you have nothing but time on your hands, discounting end of semester cramming. That's why there exist a market for drawn out multi series fantasy romance books for girls, and 1000 pages sci-fi fantasy books for boys.

I can vouch for the degenerate anon. I did LSD last weekend with some people who are very into psychology. They basically talked about childhood trauma for the three hours of the peak. It was somewhat traumatic in its own right, but I remembered a memory of when I was a young kid which I had apparently repressed. I never even knew I had repressed something. It's a wonderful experience regardless though -- do it in the right setting and you will not be disappointed anon.

Seriously everyone just kept recommending trash books in high school, and all the must read classics I had already read at a much younger age. At this point I am tempted to just read polarized political stuff like Atlas Shrugged just to have talking points with some people I meet, but that seems like a lot of effort for trivial return.
