Mythology, fairy tales, ancient epics, the Bible, pretty much anything narrative and pre-modern.

[Anonymous No.16487673]

Pretty much all philosophy, to be honest. I have working class friends who never went to university, got merely passing marks in high school just to finish it, and rarely read, but have lively philosophical discussions with because they don't have a huge blockage of modern ideologies and dogmas so they're much more open to new ideas than midwits.

mid-wit detected. On my second time reading the bible and im not even religious. Its beautifully written and is the one book you can guarantee every western author has had on their bookshelves (until maybe more recently).

This is why i love these threads, you get pseuds coming out the woodwork. Shouldnt you be writing your blog or something?

Bible study is widespread across most churches, what are you on about?

[Anonymous No.16488464]

>>16488441
thats not reading it. some pastor recites something and gives an interpretation. Read it back to back. Its the ultimate high/low IQ book because everyone treats it like a piece of literature to be studied rather than reading it for your own sake.

Hold still let me defecate in your filthy mouth mutt, i heard it helps with the seething.

the most interesting conversations ive ever had have been at bars with drunk blue collar dudes. when they're not talking about pussy or sports they love to bounce around ideas about God, history, philosophy, science, and all sorts of shit. they can't name all the famous philosophers and what schools of thought they belonged too like a university student could, but they have a unique perspective that is unfiltered and unmarred by metropolitan ideology. i wish my back wasn't fucked up so I could do manual labor for a living; I'd certainly hate my coworkers less.

Good answer, this is what people dont get when they are called a psued or mid-wit. They get called this because they place dichotomies in their head and arent willing to challenge themselves mentally or be humbled when they follow something incorrect so that everyone can benefit from discussion and reach deeper conclusions. Normies cant contribute too much but their basic interest and open mindset(usually) makes them refreshing to talk to

Where do you live? I wish this was true where I am. All the working class people I’ve met don’t have any interests in conversation beyond sports, women, drugs, friends etc. If you try to spark an intelligent conversation they’ll get visibly uncomfortable and make it clear they’re not interested. Maybe it’s a generational thing, I’m probably younger than you.

>you need to be religious to read or enjoy the bible
Secular and purely literary appreciation of the bible is the high iq curve. The Bible is perhaps the most influential book ever created, carries the light of the bronze age through millennia - and alongside the surviving corpus of greek and roman literature forms the deepest and oldest things in western civilisation.

[Anonymous No.16491288]

everything that has to do with esotericism or mysticism. Midwits operate on stereotypes and when they hear the words esoteric and mystical they relate them to other occasions where they have heard these words: their mom's yoga courses, thus it automatically has to be dumb and false. This is also the reason why midwits fall for sophistry: just mention words that sound deep and it will make them feel deep: reality doesn't exist, we live in a simulation run by aliens on Mars.

This is known to me as the 'torture zone' of intellect. I am content just to enjoy common things more deeply than normal people can reach, and less burdened by the notion of lowering myself to such an undignified intellectual status- the constant thorn in the side of 'tasteful' midwits...

Yet that which I can recognize as truly tasteful is still just beyond my threshold of access. In order not to act a pseud, I try not to harbor any pretense that I actually enjoy and seek out and regularly read those tasteful and intelligent works. Only a few and far between, when I have some itch to scratch or something to prove to myself- (I guess!)

Being less religious =/= non-belief in God. The world's greatest thinks always argue for the existence of a divine Creator, because it is the logical conclusion
