So, what is the purpose of writers? They reach a pretty small audience today (even shitty potboilers aren't super influential) and for most of history literature has been exclusive to the affluent and literate upper class.

So, why are writers just as or more important than religious leaders, actors, and politicians?

>religious leaders
master manipulators and literal narcissists
>actors
their talent is sometimes admirable but the way they become hotshots isn't
>politicians
basically a combination of the above

"Let us go exploring this summer morning, when all are adoring the plum blossom and the bee. And humming and hawing, let us ask of the Starling (who is a more sociable bird than the lark) what he may think on the brink of the dust bin, whence he picks among the stick's combines of scullion's hair " - Woolf
