Why doesn't he want to be photographed?

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 19 07:51:06 2016 No.7828069 Sorry to steal your thunder OP, but I am genuinely curious about the meaning behind his anteater quote. Can anyone explain it for me?

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 19 07:52:28 2016 No.7828072 >>7828065 Probably because he doesn't want to get recognized

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 19 07:53:44 2016 No.7828073 Because he's smart and knows that fame eventually leads to alienation and misery

he has completely transcended normal human desires like recognition and fame
do you think someone described as an 'intellectual superman' by his contemporaries wants to become a weekly presence in inane news articles and being gazetted in reddit TILs every day
also his equine mouth

You guys need to stop posting Tommy Pinecone so much, or I need to leave /lit/
Last night I had a dream where I was in some undisclosed neighborhood, knocking on random doors, asking old ladies where Pynchon might live.
I haven't even read any of his books for christ's sake!
