As a writer myself, nothing pisses me off more than these phrases and they've lead to the death of good writing in general.

Entertainment (passive sensorial enjoyment) constitutes spectatorial (lower) engagement.

The actual dichotomy is between immersion, and emersion; engagement is the interactive mode of operation that is performed between their mutually opposite poles.

The virtuous person engages with, and disengages from, matter, whilst remaining detached from it; the soul submerges the material world in its aura, thus, sequently, metamerging it within its light.

Lord have mercy on the poor souls who have taken their own life and anyone who struggles against these thoughts

Civilization, and literature by extension, is about promoting life through a firm understanding of what it means to be human, and tending to that knowledge generationally. Anyone who kills themselves has failed at being a human and has nothing useful to say about the human condition. QED.

Not OP but it's pretty much over. People are braindead. /lit/ is the cream of the crop and you'd rather talk about some youtuber whore's feet than anything related to narrative or whatever the fuck. Think of all the quality literature that would be wasted on you.
Say I was thinking in the shower about this novel idea about a young Colored Man who's passionate about poetry and has a dream of going to Harvard and study to become the next Coleridge, until one day while holding all his books he stumbles into this Chinese trinket shop and the old man with the fu manchu mustache tells him that he likes poetry so much and he can naturally rhyme so well because he's the unclaimed firstborn of Tupac, and he cannot escape his destiny. He must become what he really is inside: A NIGGER. THAT'S RIGHT SON, NOT ONLY YOU ARE CAPITAL B BLACK, YOU ARE A TRUE, PUREBLOOD NIGGA. NOW GO. (The Chinese man vanishes in a puff of that shitty plastic smell). In a moment of confusion, the young man realizes he's alone and immediately steals the contents of the unattended cash register, and thus his journey to stardom begins.
