No, it's basically a satire on bookworms peppered with a wicked sense of humor and countless classical references to demonstrate that the chad illiterate idiots will always lead a happier life than the virgin literate loners

There were hardly any books back then and only a tiny educated class was able to read, so it didn't matter how obscure and boring your writing was.

Erasmus literally back translated the last few chapters of the book of revelation from the latin vulgate into the textus receptus and said that while he wouldn’t be with doing that with the gospels “it’s only the book of revelation”. Why do christcucks even like someone who shows a total disregard for accuracy when it comes to one book in the bible? If I were a Christian I would be furious.

No, it just mocks people who like to pose as intellectuals, and praises simplicity and being true to your feelings. For example, Erasmus writes how stoics are basically living statues, and too smart to get laid.
