I understand, the wound is bleeding and you're not really stable right now.

>>16800930
Fuck off retard. Your thread has nothing to do with anything.

>>16800911
Consider that not more than a handful of decades ago artists, scientists, and philosophers were idolized by the aristocracy while those other classes you mention were looked down upon. It's a rather unfortunate turn of events, but it's a good thing that time changes everything. Who knows what the next decades bring?

>>16800911
you have to be 18 to post here

>>16800953
>with anything
Room temperature IQ detected. If you can't even understand what the topic is about maybe you shouldn't post? Nah, you're an impulsive faggot who is here just to make gay meme posts and doesn't even read books in the first place. You're the reason why we can't have good things, you're the reason why this site became so shit, go back to re,ddit.

>>16800959
Because the plebs didn't have enough rights, now that they do we see what happens.
>>16800968
You have to have at least triple digit IQ to make posts.

>>16800969
seethe harder faggot. Your thread is utter shit and proof positive that you don't belong here

>>16800911
>A rapper, drug dealer, actor or athelete will always be more respected and appreciated than a scientist, philosopher, classical/electroacoustic musician, poet or a writer
lmao come back when you graduate high school, faggot.

>>16801063

Do you live under a rock?

A different anon than the first to call you a faggot. Your post reveals that the only reason you got into literature in the first place was to be seen as cool. You are a colossal faggot. People come her for their love of literature, not to get recognition, you absolute middlebrow beta cucked faggot

>>16800911
Coolness in weimar era got you killed in the next governmental iteration. This was really present in aristocratic relationships and being more "cool" than your superiors also got you killed. Like the rest said this isn't lit or even really a coherent discussion.

>>16801186
So you also have a reading disability, brutal.

>>16800911
you could still be /lit/ and athlete

>>16801210
you could still be /lit/ and cool

>>16800911
Your hypothesis is testable, so here is an experiment. Kill a negro celebrity and get away with it.
Over the course of the next year, or even the next few months, they will be forgotten.
The spectacle is an ephemeral daydream, always shifting and changing, leaving its interchangeable nigger-cogs behind once their ability to influence the public withers.
A philosopher will be remembered forever.

>>16801191
It's understandable, not everyone has the ability to read and think.
>>16801210
>>16801223
Not really, he is just a part of the spectacle, not a good writer at all.

>>16801250
>not a good writer at all.
He IS a good writer.

Scientists are respected by some people called losers. All 99% of them do is regurgitate what they have been told. Athletes can be admirable because they are like gladiators, pushing their body and mind to the limit for our entertainment. “Rappers” are on the front-end of an evolving genre of music while other forms of music already had their phase. Drug dealers and criminals are living life on the edge, they are on a high-stakes adventure. People find that sort of thing exciting.

As you said there is nothing cool about sniffing your own farts and thinking to yourself. A groundbreaking writer or philosopher will be appreciated, but as you know that appreciation may happen after their death. If you are writing to be praised then you already picked a bad field. You need to write what people want if that’s the path you want to take.

So do whatever you want to do man. If you want to be praised by others so much then turn yourself into a person that gets praise. I assure you that an honest writer is writing out of their enjoyment or desire to write.

>>16801224
You're wrong, dead rappers have an even bigger status.
>>16801264
If you don't care about literature, that is.

>>16801209
Your thread title is "Is Coolness the Last Destination" you fucking retard faggot
