Absurdism is on level 7. So every high schooler that has read Camus has 'transcended the very nature of literature and reading itself'?

A lot of that is misguided.

Not what I was implying. Just saying that Camus is *an* absurdist, so reading him would belong on level 7.

kek fucking poetry slam is in level 7 this is pure memebait

>> No.6460202

>>6460192

I don't think the categories are divided strictly by "depth", but also by removal from the cultural/societal norm.

50 Shades was popular because it defied a lot of conventions and these days being edgy is cool so it sold well. Much kinkier stuff has been written before, and none of it sells nearly as well, but polish up some of the messier bits, make the guy a billionaire with blistering intelligence instead of a random creep in a van, hire a decent publicist and boom, bestseller.

does that make it deep? Open the page of a random buk poetry book and it'll be some free verse poem about chinaski taking a shit and then throwing up on the floor and then drunk driving to the liquor store at 6am. That doesn't make it whatever 'level 7' is supposed to be.

"Criminal court records are presumed open to public inspection, unless a judge has granted a motion by the prosecutor or the defense attorney requesting that some of the records be sealed.

Portions of documents filed in criminal court records that contain personal information about people may also be “redacted” or edited out by a county clerk to protect a person’s privacy or safety."

And as for getting a hold of them, you have to file a request with a court clerk. You can find a lot of famous cases online though.

These aren't even scientists but natural philosophers. No fedoratard would ever consider reading them cause "lol I can just look up natural laws in my textbook and Dawkins is better anyway".

Camus isn't exactly an absurdist. Absurdity plays a role in his philosophy, but only so far as it leads him to existentialism.
