/lit/ - Literature

Just keep talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic so that no one has a chance to interrupt. It's really quite hypnotic.

Read the sentence, "You are an insecure little bitch."

Once you have fully internalized it begin with the dialogues of Plato.

Nobody likes people who talk like that.
If you're a true intellectual you don't NEED to use long words; you are able to convey complex ideas in a clear and concise way.

I suggest you either come to terms with being literally challenged or start educating yourself.

Sir Thomas Browne and Thomas De Quincey

Get the books: "The Critique of Pure Reason" by Kant and "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by Edward Gibbon, and read them out-loud to yourself. While you read it copy each sentence down by hand on a new sheet of paper. When you are finished you will be able to sound like an intellectual.

You don't need big words and long sentences to be smart. There's intelligence in being clear, precise and succint.

YOU'RE GAY

Well done, Anon.

>What should i do in order to speak like an intellectual.

>I want to be able to use long sentences and difficult words in my everyday life.

Trust me, OP, you don't want to do this. You should read De Quincey, though, he's got long sentences and they're bangin'.

I hate this new trend of wanting to speak like Russell Brand.

It's fine in an interview situation or in the context of a serious dicussion, but day-to-day it's unecessary and pretty wearing

Learn latin. I'm serious.

This. And then speak Ciceronian Latin (with vocabulary from Plautus) exclusively and you have your long sentences and difficult words.

Long sentences? Read Gogol and take notes.

what the fuck

>>4338963
You are a wonderful person.

You mean you want to become a Psuedo-intellectual? A Philosophunculist, if you will? Read a dictionary. Mark all the words you don't know that aren't completely useless.
And read the newspaper, specifically, the science and political sections.
Finally, read philosophy. Other people tackled that so good jub.

But if you want to be actually intelligent, do as others said, and learn to be concise and clear.

everyone here is a pseudointellectual why lie?

>>4338958
>What should i read?
A BA in History, English or Philosophy.

Pretentiousness of /lit/ never ceases to amaze me. Normally one's thirst for knowledge or love for literature leads him to read and by consuming informations and beauty of written text his active dictionary naturally expands.

>not being a pseudopseudointellectual
lol you actually fell for it?

>>4339017
ARE NOT YOU ARE

>not Arts
It's like you want to get him a job or something.

>>4338958
read any postmodern philosopher, in particular Deleuze and Derrida. Trust me, if you can get through this, it's all you need to sound like a pompous, pretentious piece of shit.

>>4339788
There's a word for that besides vernacular, vocab, and nomenclature, faggot. Fucking leave if you don't like pretentiousness, oh wow the literary pretenders are fucking pretentious wow.

this.

(am i doing it right)

Take your time!

(At least that's Wittgenstein's advice.)

At least you are up front about your vanity so here:

Do the exact opposite of everything Orwell speaks about in this essay of his https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/orwell46.htm

Why would you want to do such a thing? What do you find insufficient about the way you currently use language?

>>4340055
you just did what OP wanted now teach him that

>>4338963
INCREDIBLY UNBROKEN SENTENCE
moving from topic to topic
quite hypnotic

Dont be clear be poetic.

Become the void where others find themselves.

Watch a lot of Science channel, and use a lot of words that were invented for a scientific purpose originally, like osmosis.
Just use esoteric terms and big words, and don't seem to think about it. It's how I do. Also, just read books, you'll pick it up if your intelligence is above 100IQ

One way of feigning brilliance is to add an -ian or an -esque at the end of random famous names and drop it throughout your speech. Kafkaesque, Pynchonesque, Derridean, Hegelian, Kantian, Deleuzeian, Foucauldian, Beckettian. That way you can pretend to know a person's work without actually doing so.

>>4338963
This is perhaps the best answer going, but the fact is no one ever told me to do this; I just did it; and, I didn't start doing it until after I'd started at reading classics, so maybe it'd be better to ignore this as a solution, and then just tie it in with the effect? as in, name 'being well-read' as a cause, both, for your being a long-winded speaker and for your being an 'intellectual speaker'? Read more classics, is the point, man.

You can't take a BA in Fine Arts.

Any University offering one is neither a University nor offering a BA.

I feel you OP. I also have to talk really fast, because you can't be smart and not talk fast.
