/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.8541498]

Guys, intellectually I'm all spooked out. I can't stand philosophy because of all the unfalsifiable garbage. Many fields like economics etc are just applied common sense and stamp collecting. I see novels as nothing but entertainment despite pretentious people claiming life / philosophical insights and tonnes of people will consider you a disgusting plebeian if you don't initially read shitloads of boring as fuck canon novels.

I think I am painfully adapting to the idea of the Internet age / information overload by abandoning any pretension that I can be an all rounder or even dilettante in everything. There are ten trillion books called "Introduction to [broad and important field]", even if you only have one of each field.

History is similar to novels. Shitloads of reading along with a shitload pretension thrown on top telling you that you truly cannot no nuthin unless you have an in depth understanding of the Greeks / Romans / Christianity / USA / WW1 / WW2 / financial systems / or shitloads of other topics I can't stand it. And then there's current events. I don't care about climate change, outer space, inequality, China, the EU, applied psychology, the education system, diversity, Russia, South America, refugees, nutrition, mental health, and more. Admitting just one of these would make me an iredeemable idiot, no doubt.

Has anyone else had similar thoughts? The spooks are powerful and must be removed but their removal leaves your mind in a promordial state that is more susceptible to spooks than before.

I go to the city centre and see people shopping and the streets are busy, which is comforting compared to when they're empty, but walking through then brings no epiphanies.

I am so past watching movies or tv shows, even ones that pander to "edgy" young males. I just about read books but only because society tells me I should, though I don't derive much enjoyment

And obviously I have an existential crisis but /lit/ is fucking pathetic in demanding that anyone who has one should immediately "grow up" and become a monotheist and wagecuck. I fucking hate wagecucking. Seeing attractive young people is humiliating. I tell myself every day that I'll soon work intensely on one thing but I can't bear to do this. If you're really good at one thing then there are people lining up to call you a tard for not watching opera or being able to run a marathon or whatever shit. So I do nothing.

Every "thinker" is at their core an utter fucking fraud. Nietzche is a Tony Robbins tier Rorschach test. Science and mathematics provide non trivial insights but only in ultra specialised ways that probably require autism to appreciate. I listen to In Our Time podcasts and Bret Easton Ellis podcasts and I think at heart everyone cares about nothing more than social drama.

I think we all need to man up and admit that money, youth, videogames, and good looks are as good as it gets. But not everyone gets.

Have you created anything? Try art, or an instrument. You can also try lifting weights and sports and maybe that will help clear your mind. If that doesn't work, theres always drugs. Stop searching for enlightenment or meaning and just accept things as they are.

Wagecuck and invest your money in the S&P 500. Look up FIRE / Financial Independence Early Retirement.

[Anonymous No.8541585]

out of dozens of thousands of human generations, only the last few in specific continents of the world know what generalized well being, social security, health, non boring lifes are.
Don't feel like you are missing out an essential ritual (celebrity tier life) every human has to go through, even if media wants you to believe otherwise.
I think that reading classics for the fact that they're classics is just pure nonsense as well.
History, philosophy, economic theory, etc, may seem useless to you, but someone HAS to do it.
How would you know what the fuck is going on in the middle east without knowing history? or how would you know why the market crashed a few years ago without some knowledge of economics?
Don't kill yourself anon

So, what do you actually LIKE then? What are you passionate about? It's much better to focus on those kind of things than what you don't like and what people tell you to like.

Guys, intellectually I'm all spooked out. I can't stand pornography because of all the unfalsifiable garbage. Many fields like anal gangbang bukkake are just applied common sense and stamp collecting. I see bdsm as nothing but entertainment despite pretentious people claiming life/philosophical insights and tonnes of people will consider you a disgusting muggle if you don't read shitloads of boring as fuck canon novels.

I think I am painfully adapting to the internet age / information overload by abandoning any pretension that I can make the trifecta or even finger my own butthole. I am too fat to reach down there. There are ten trillion books called "Guide For The Bloated And Impotent]", even if you only have one abortive experience to base your fears on.

History is similar to novels. Shitloads of reading along with a shitload pretension thrown on top telling you that you truly cannot do no nuttin unless you have an in depth understanding of the Art of the Game / or shitloads of other topics I can't stand it. And then there's amateur porn. I don't care about cunt cameras, sub space, big cocks, cuckolding, lesbian pissing porn, applied proctology, teacher/student cosplay, big black cocks, Russians, Brazilians, refugees, anorexia, condoms, and more. Admitting just one of these would make me an iredeemable idiot, no doubt.

Hey Faggots,

My name is John, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook.

Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than “jack off to naked drawn Japanese people”? I also get straight A’s, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.
