I just got a video from this dude about transitioning from Physics to Literatire, I was interested because I've been wanting to get into reading with little success but it turns out to be just some feelsy garbage about "Literatire is like problem solving" or whatnot, and he was already into reading so he's not like me.

I refuse the believe that anyone with the tenacity to read IJ, Gravity's Rainbow, and Ulysses can write this badly. It's not even a barrier due to being possibly ESL, it's just that he can't think.
I'm honestly beginning the suspect the majority of booktubers, or just those book Instagram people, don't even read what they said they did. It's like they just browse the wiki summary, and then find some quotes and insights from goodreads.

>> No.16681224

This is genuinely awful. I think the reason why its so bad is that there's something very off about his writing, like he's trying to imitate the style of old novelists but he doesn't have the basics of english down yet.

Yeah, ok, I just watched his Gravity's Rainbow video on 2x speed. It's just him talking about the process of reading. He said GR was "trippy."
He said he understood "less than five percent" of the novel. I find that really hard to believe. Dude didn't read it at all.
Literally just a video saying he read the book, then lectures us all on how to be a prolific reader by reading every day.

No it isn't. The growth of wealth in China has led to a very consumer-driven culture amongst the new money there. The children of that new money are now being sent to international schools at a great cost, and they take with themselves the attitude their parents instilled in them.

Jesus christ you're such a dumbass pretentious motherfucker. The very definition of pretentiousness. And I just checked out this guy on yt. He doesn't seem to wear any marvel shit, just nondescript cheap graphic Ts, with the word "champion" and such. So he genuinely just dresses like a random Europoor dude. Also, he probably has to read a ton of books and essays every week, while you probably read a book from someone like Joyce in 3 months without understanding a page of it and think you're better than everyone. Yeah, a college dude has probably more to say about literature than people that read it for fun.
