Fiction is for children

[Anonymous No.12013437]

We already had this retarded thread yesterday >>12008373
And fiction is able to impart truth by showing instead of telling, which is a much more efficient way of getting people to understand.

The complete opposite retard. I stopped reading shitty fiction once I figured out history is more intresting and 99% of writers just take their ideas from. It's also nice to read about extraordinary events without a cringy attempt at conflict and plot resolution

I have Aspergers and I'm the opposite. I like fiction and dislike non-fiction.

Lots of truth can be found in fiction. Many ideas and theories tend to be legit, but simply set in a fictional setting with fictional characters.

The so called "Aspergers" doesn't even exist idiots. It stopped existing about 5 years ago. Turns out you're just socially incompetent assholes who don't even want to try.

Yes, and watch it come back in a few years for the DSM VI, then leave, then come back as a different name, then that different name has a million subcategories, etc.

A mental disorder does not stop existing simply because psychiatrists can’t make up their damned minds, especially when an identity has been built around it.

This board really has no respect for literature as an artform. Peotry is almost never respected l. Meme philosophers get discussed more than actual authors. And fiction, wich has undeniably produced the greatest writers of all time is treated as a joke

[Anonymous No.12019905]

>>12019456
ppl just use other ppls ideas to seem smart, thats why its mostly philposting here. reading fiction is much less exact, you actually need to think instead of getting spoonfed by some french or german protoneet

His point remains. There isn’t anything wrong with someone who would rather read about the rates of airplane fuel combustion as opposed to someone who only reads 50 Shades of Grey novels.
