That feel when I wasn't born to a family of university philosophy professors like DFW was and no one has ever read Moby Dick to me at night when I was 6.

I'm lazy and my parents both have degrees, I've also always read a lot, still lazy.

I probably wasn't clear enough in my post.

I don't mean to say my parents have the fault of me being a lazy cunt. It's all my fault. All I say is if I had had DFW's lucky I'd probably be in a better position.

DFW had luck but not talent. Class isn't everything.

If you were born into a family of philosophy professors then philosophy would more than likely be a hated subject.

I'm in the same situation as you are (except in America and with immigrant parents) but I don't find any difficulty doing my work because it's actually has an intensive velocity towards something other than simply wanting to be well read or learned.

"laziness" is socially constructed bullshit imo. "hard-working" people would have been considered psychotic for most of human history

I come from a South American fucking shithole too, both my parents didn't even bother getting into college, none of them read, none of them really think about anything that happens around them, yet I still don't give two fucks about it, don't go around blaming your parents and environment, your problems with studying and reading are only caused by you. It's your choice to overcome that and stop being a pleb
Quit lurking 4chan and read a book.
