What's the most frustrated you've ever found yourself trying to make sense of something you read?

I understood everything I've read. So, I never felt frustrated. Do people actually struggle with understanding philosophy? Thought it was easy. Strange.

Read the forst few pages of Kant's Critique of Reasoning. Threw it away and never picked it up since. Several pages to explain what a priori means. No way it was just about that point alone.

I was studying freshman calculus and I was trying to comprehend algebra in respect to quadratic equations. I for the life of me could not understand it at all. None of the formulae made any sense to me. It turns out that I had a learning condition that made me retarded at math (dyscalculia)

Ulysses desu

I guess I’m not really frustrated, I just don’t know wtf is going on. I’ve read Dubliners 3-4 times. I read Portrait and loved it. I’m on page 75 or so of Ulysses and my pleb reaction is that Joyce forgot that books are supposed to be enjoyable and eloquent.

Someone tell me about the light at the end of the tunnel.

/lit/ posts after early-mid 2017 but realistically since 2016. This site is so bad and so shameful, so unaware of how shameful it is i still can’t believe people want to be associated with it. Internet subcultures like chantardism are basically dead forever. Nothing will replace it and things should only regress into excruciating, lobotomized automatism with time. God help you all.
