I think people who read a lot are often fucking retarded
>midwit starts reading
>becomes a gay substack user or a greek statue posters on X
>every "take" is verbose and just cites some people they read

Would they of been better off not reading? It's like they turn into the guy from Goodwill hunting at the fucking bar

>nb4 anon u got filtered and ur actually retarded!!!!
No they have no swag, no good rhetoric and they're not even trying to have a thought, it's like they just want acknowledgment for synthesizing two random shitty ideas

>It's like they turn into the guy from Goodwill hunting at the fucking bar
That’s all of the internet.

Even within this post, your only aim is to grandstand about how superior you are to these retards who grandstand about how well read they are. The whole earth is a circlejerk where no one is who they say they are but you somehow think people will take you at your word regardless.

>>24632434
its not just to grandstand, i do have a point here which is
>reading makes people insufferable and then we have to pretend to contend with them because they used big words and cited nick land

i think on a lot of levels reading makes people more retarded BUT culturally we for some reason praise a hobby that mostly soccer moms use to rub their pussies

Glad you've discovered the concept of the dilettante.

theres been no instances of a faggot changing into a non faggot due to reading

>>24632451
the opposite, however, is often the case

>>24632448
>yes i will use latin to make fun of him!
the joke is on me because i had to ask chat gpt why u were saying this

>>24632446
but its like 99% of people in the group, its like everyone whose read a book ever almost
so idk why they get such a good wrap

>>24632451
well said anon

Are you writing like this intentionally?

Psyop thread designed to discourage reading on a /lit/ board.

>>24632464
i try to write how i talk so maybe i am

>>24632468
i like ideas and reading isnt bad, i think audiobooks are better and probably even youtube videos for most things

reading is just gay because its like how non chess players view chess
>the ultimate iq brain test
its ok but there is this weird allure to it now because no one wants to do it because its so fucking boring

>>24632441
this personality type is present in every hobby. it has nothing to do with reading
extrinsic motivators are simply not human and do not possess souls

>>24632475
I just literally smell that you're a STEMCEL, muppet.

>>24632481
no im the exact opposite
less rules in reading, less grammar, less science in poetry

ur the one who responding like a victorian

>>24632427 (OP)
Hmm... You must read a lot then.

>>24632448
at anone, tu quoque legisti illud textum quo respondisti anglice

>>24632427 (OP)
You're conflating people who read, and who people who post about how much they read on social media. Unfortunately, due to making this error, you fall into the IQ bracket the latter type of person sits in. I know this isn't the news you were expecting to hear, but it's the truth. I'm deeply sorry you had to find this out anon, but it's better you know now, so that you can learn and become a better person.

>it‘s like they turn into [hollywood reference]
>calling anybody else a retard

>>24632610
This is like retards making “RETVRN” edits using clips of Hollywood movies. Even their wildest, most romanticized fantasies can only be derived from movies. Spiritual Redditors, living vicariously through people who don’t even know they exist, and would hate them if they did.

>>24632427 (OP)
Yes. Open information and democratisation of knowledge were a massive mistake. It is 10 times easier to learn something today than 100 years ago, it is 10'000 times easier to misinform yourself today than 100 years ago.

a tangent:

i love how these faggot, low-confidence, children are out here, anonymously, making claims. assertions. they're reading philosophy/whatever, and then they show up and throw shit to see what sticks. no asking of questions, no dialogue, little interaction.
a clear demonstration of why they are reading: shameless LARP
i would twist these nerds into a pretzel i tell u hwhat
