only high IQ neets will make it on the literary world.

only neets have enough free time to not worry about making money, read the western classics with their fellow /lit/ high IQ chads.

Eventually this modern version of 1920 paris coffee bars will be the only place in the planet to produce the next joyce.

pepe will become the biggest literary character of the early XXI century.

The literary world will no longer exist in any meaningful way due falling IQ rates. In several generations there will be simply no one to read what is meaningfully written.

We are in the death throes of high literature.

Asians have "high IQs" only when you don't realize they are pooling from 5 billion people. So not as impressive at first glance. They also have no interest in art or literature, and offer nothing to the art.

1% of global population now is 70 million.

Even if literature is just enjoyed by top 1% IQ, that means 70 million people.

1% of global population is a vast over estimation. "high IQ" starts around 135, and that's something like 1 in 150,000 people or something.

I do hope you google what is a bell curve distribution and what implies a top 1% of a bell curve on a 10 billion population, right?

Also, around 10% of the black population has an IQ higher than 120.

Why did you post a literal who? Also I'll read one of his books if you can post a single one where the central plot isn't race relation based. You'd be surprised how many black authors can't pass that test.

ok, so you have no intentions of reading the most important black african writer, but at the same time you lurk on /lit/, a board about writers?

Why not fuck off to a board more appropiated to people that doesn't read, like /pol/?

yes, colonization is a big topic of african history, but is not about white people doing bad things.

Or are they supposed to not write about it?

I suppose you've readen some history about african colonization to talk about it, right?

It would just be cool if they could write about literally anything else. It's difficult to judge the merit of their work, otherwise.

I live in the American South, so this is unfortunately not the case, sadly.

[Anonymous No.20407758]

>>20407745
well, I assume you will be interested in reading from a black african point of view and not an european dude talking about black people history.

Besides, the book is more about a tribe that "THINGS FALL APART" when the colonization start because more of bad luck, more than "HUH DUH WHITES ARE EVIL" kind of shit.

I'm talking about the MENSA people who don't actually do jackshit with their lives.
What about specifically that Langan guy? What is his actual achievement being allegedly smarter than Einstein?
To what his life amounts in fact?

And there's so many such stories.
So many of these who were child prodigies hit adulthood and fall short of their shimmering promises; that is even mildly amusing, slightly unsettling.

To put it short: I believe and admire RESULTS; not cool numbers from a cold examination.

Langan should unironically be given the title of "Caesar" worldwide, and fix this world on the brink. To expect all hyper intelligent people to be an "Einstein" equivalent is quite naive. Spciety marginalizes anomalous intelligent people as they are not particularly geared toward social life or monetary gain.

IQ is distributed normally and adjusted so that the average IQ is 100. How could IQ "rates" (?) "fall"?

The best way to achieve a literary lifestyle is, in my opinion, is having some sort of psychological or situational problem that doesn't impair your ability to write, but causes your life to shatter apart in a hot mess every year or two in a spectacular fashion. Basically the higher the velocity between build up and crashing is, the more nuanced your accumulated experiences will be.

I think being too financially comfortable can lead to a sort of complacency that's not conductive to accumulating the necessary experiences in order to make art. And I do think that perception and new experiences are the main foundation of good literature, the material from which the artist rearranges and communicates in a unique way.

I think this is the best way.

>Grow up in a semi-dysfunctional home but the home becomes functional as you get older
>have enough financial security to do well at university, study something in STEM not literature and keep literature as a hobby
>Life comes apart due to psychological problems or some other cause, forcing you to constantly try new avenues to get by
>Because you're always crashing and burning, trying something new, you meet new people in different areas all the time
>You're not in one isolated class bubble, you get a picture of how people in society live their lives across all all levels.

If you're too financially secure it's too easy to become out of touch.

your NEET window is always limited and tend to be unproductive because you lose all sense of time. Nobody is a NEET forever. Your parent will eventually give you an ultimatum.

>>20407372
I disagree with this I got a fulltime job and the no-life reading and writing whem I get home and give sparing time to family and women. Many authors that are making often dont give up their daytime career either. It doesnt take as much time as you think to read and write and a disciplined pro has more than enough time to get published.
I do hope to see more from NEET authors as Im not a real NEET anymore or at least anons. There are some from /wg/ that are doing well but fledgling and need to stick with lit. Most anons I see not putting in the work or are serialized genrefiction anime writers.

Past a certain point, being "N E E T", (not ever even training) stunts one's ontological development, since the primary task of one's coming to Earth, beside sharing the fruits of one's genius, is to rectify one's psykhical deficencies through adversity, which lifelong "N E E T s", by growing in a virtual incubator, never do.

Things Fall Apart actually doesn't really have much to do with race relations, it's also not good.
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison doesn't really have many white people in it as I recall. But yeah they really only have one thing going for them typically
