Give me some literature that will make me appear smart on the surface but in reality will actually leave me just as retarded as everyone else. However it's also literature that's supposed to be like that so I can appear smart around other people while knowing deep down how stupid I really am and therefore can laugh my ass off that they believe I'm anything more than a low brow piece of shit.
Thanks

so lit that is, to a specific point, meaningless and pretentious?

read philosophy (preferably Idealism or Analytic Philosophy). You will automatically misunderstand it and still appear smart.

The real answer is absolutely any pop-sci non-fiction. You get to learn factoids and surface level information without getting any understanding of why and how said things happen. Brainlets will think you're a genius, but you'll know you're a moron.

Pic related is a prime example.

Read some continental philosophers. You can interpret that garbage however you want and still appears smart af to majority of people.
