Can someone explain to me what his deal was with turning on literature towards the end of his life? Did he just think people should have more in their life than books or did he genuinely think the literary life was a waste and people shouldn’t even bother?

How? The state has a monopoly on violence, and outside that it is strictly outlawed, you'll most likely rot in some hospital bed and die of old age, and all you will be doing is consume. Live to consume. Consume to live. It is devoid of any honor, dignity or spirit.

Also don't even say modern soldiers dying to have a shred of honor in them. There is no honor in killing a bunch of cave people so your (((master)))'s can acquire shekels in a globohomo agenda.

What the hell is a "heroic death" and why is it inherently something you should strive for in life? Why is getting old and dying in your bed inherently a bad thing?

Idolization of purposeful death is just a byproduct of evolution.

It has and will continue to lose it's place in society as things get better for everyone. You misunderstand why people died in the past in ways you consider to be honorable. They did it so others wouldn't have to for the same reason. The few cultures that did promote death in battle as something to be sought after, cherished, and maintained were just dysfunctional.
It's fetishization of the past, and all it'll lead to is your loved ones dying for no real reason if it comes back. Stop being so retarded.

Large chunk of On Heights of Despair deals with why getting old and dying in your bed is inherently a bad thing.
