There’s a kind of young intelectual that really gets on my nerve. I lack the words to properly define them, but identifying one is easy. They read Houellebecq, DFW and Pynchon. Always the three of them, never just one or two. God knows why.
You anglos created these people, but they asexually reproduce and now even my third world country is full of them.

Metaphors are the use of abstraction to convey meaning, which is what all language does, retard.
People who hate metaphors are inevitably the autists who only read nonfiction (almost none of which will be metaphysical philosophy) and genrefiction because they lack the souls and depth to appreciate art and the divine.
These people, including (you) are hylic.
