That's true though. Philosophy has no function in a world where advanced physics and neuroscience exist, other than pseud circlejerking.

I unfortunately also fall into that trap. Except that I don't read because I'm burnt out by the lack of sleep.
I lack the power to focus on a book for more than 10 pages, unless I am stuck somewhere, like a buss or train.

Absolute fools. There's more truth in Gravity's Rainbow than you've come to know. I mean, yes, well done and such... your commitment to a work no one is really sure how was written anymore (rumors abound, clandestine meetings, Thoth's doing, Sirius Business, cutting deals), and I'm sure your boss was really tickled to a rash-shade, going home and reading all about what strange words and worlds you shove into your eyes, surely now, yes, viewing you as a bonafide literati member—best be sure to expect a fatter check, Mister New Manager.
But good golly gosh, you cannot expect a book like this to not include little tidbits of Facts some might consider Fun... for all the scenes of pernicious suits meandering in halls strewn with debris, the War's constant reminder, and outside scents of petrol mingled with flesh, sinew melting away to show red-stained skulls, under the insolent Sun whose heat seeds Virgin Lands, which is now under barrage daily, by shells and absorbed horror, scarred to the burnt clay... had to have fun in there somewhere, ya feel?

I mean to say, really, is that you're not opening your heart, anon, to all the calibrations beyond the mundane... which really means

You've become a horrid wretch in your years,
Reading books someone told'ya to!
Always on a kick for something new!
Beady eyes behind light so blue!

And chastising the charts for not being high-brow (Holy Cow!)
La-la-la-lamenting about something new (Somehow?!)
Everyone's tired of your shit!
If I called you a pseud, would ye throw a fit?
