No. Good writing is powered by destructive emotions and a powerful propensity for self-loathing. Attractive people might make a show of feeling negative emotions, but they cannot and will never experience genuine sorrow. Their performative sadness is just another manifestation of therapeutic's triumph and the consequent rise of shallow "psychological man"

I agree with the major but dispute the minor. I’m good looking as fuck but also went through a period of crazy depersonalizing anxiety, despair and self loathing which sent me on a track to reading absolute fuck tons of philosophy and literature, and writing (academically and creatively). Now I’m on the other side of a lot of that despair and anxiety but travelled deep enough into the underworld during that low period that I can still converse quite fluently with the ghosts and devils I met during my travels

OK friend.

The thing is, the ambient mood in an attractive person's life is positive. People treat them nicely, smile at them more, check them out, assume they are generally more competent and intelligent than they are, and so on.

For ugly people, there is an absolute indifference. You'll experience it more and more as you get older and more invisible. It's very harrowing, especially because beyond childhood and adolescence no one is paid or obliged to give a shit about you.

"The Controversial History of Eventuate

Eventuate started life as an Americanism in the late 18th century, and was stigmatized in the 19th century. A British commentator called it "another horrible word, which is fast getting into our language through the provincial press." Other British grammarians, and even some Americans, agreed that it was horrible. A few modern critics still consider eventuate to be pompous and unnecessary, but it is less controversial these days."

So obvious you aren't really verbally talented and also spatially limited, your descriptors make no sense, they're lazy and colorless, every part is mechanical, there's no spirit in the set or setting and her body isn't even really obvious, its almost pedophilic how you belittle the majesty or power of the human form.

I think it actually does substantially reduce your chances of becoming a writer or philosopher. In some random /sci/ thread someone made a sarcastic reversal along the lines of
>Imagine building computers and rocket ships but never once reflecting on life since society values it and gives you money for it.
To which my reply was
>Sounds good actually, like a happy person in a functional society.
That made me realize something: it may be that all introspection has its roots in either dysfunction or disappointment. Pretty people suffer less disappointment, and they're treated much better in general so they're less likely to develop dysfunction. Hence, they're less introspective. It explains a lot about really attractive people, and about how few of them become acclaimed artists instead of popular celebrities. How many exceptions can anyone think of besides Rimbaud?

To add to this, would van Gogh have become so celebrated if he'd been drop-dead handsome? He was always chasing women and getting really depressed because they found him to be a clingy downer, but if he'd been gorgeous, one of them would have husbando-ed him, and then he wouldn't have been able to channel his suicidal depression.

In my own experience, the catalyst for me ending up working on a book was that I was so horridly 1/10 for years after having been an 8.5/10 kid with a potential to become 9/10. My features are delicate and soft so they get completely buried underneath fat, which I was over 40kg overweight just a year ago

Currently dropped 26 of that and by the time another year is done I should be unrecognizable from that time. After enduring the extreme mental torture of being made to feel so undesirable that you're nigh unable to touch another human, it has certainly taken me to such a low place that I would have never been in if I didn't have to hate every second of my life for my entire teen years.

It's highly unlikely that anyone who has never been in a place like that can produce anything that meaningful in return either.

Anybody can be "depressed" and feel the need to express themselves in art if they have a physical deformity, are poor or are socially isolated. It takes a great man to be able to do it beforehand.

If you stand back and look at what these "self-loathing" ugly tortured souls write, at it's core it is narcissistic drivel, as ugly as the author. If you like it, it is because of your own delusion that your pain is somehow special and makes you superior. I'm talking mostly about /lit/core book of disquiet autists, as this thread seems to be filled with them.

He's extremely good looking. That you've become hung up on some idea of "chadness" just shows you have no personal schema of attractiveness beyond what you glean from 4chan. I never remotely suggested that van Gogh was ugly, I implied that he wasn't drop-dead handsome, which he was not.
