now take all your knowledge– surely encyclopedic by now– and write a book, and get rich off of it.

reading enhances my mind’s eye, instills a sense of responsibility for my culture and species, encourages introspection, enlivens my inner world, causes me to have more vivid dreams, sharpens my aesthetic appreciation of my world and helps me remember empathy, interpersonal relations and romantic affection. I also don’t read fiction unless im unbelievably bored

We’re forced to be conscious. You cannot escape nothingness. Our two solutions are to end all life or improve our condition. For the latter goal, reading for entertainment and improve your condition in this life, whereas reading, education, and advancement in general will hopefully improve our consciousness in the next lives.

I'm only at the beginning of my literary journey, but to travel all that distance and realise that, at the very end of it all, nihilism might end up being the final answer.

That's a terrifying blackpill. Can anyone confirm/unconfirm this?
