>boring lives
Maybe, but their insights on said lives are anything but boring.
Basically you can do it if you're a literary genius. If you're not, I don't know, write about robots, orcs and relationships.

>So why there is this opinion on /lit/ that writing about own life is bad?

its meme. it's some criticism that if you write what you live, you are not doing literature but just being a huge faggot without a talent. it's a bit understandable at some point but totally stupid if you take this too serious.

Second one has two words in a row that start with "bl", don't do that

I had to read that three times in college. I think I only read Frankenstein more. I remember one of my literature professors making an impassioned yet thinly veiled speech against Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and how America could fractured and women could lose their rights, etc.

Your mental blocking the effects of a large dosage of Platonism. You need to let go of your preconceptions and allow the light of the rational to guide you

I actually studied directly under Dermot Moran in Dublin. He's an excellent lecturer and really opened my eyes to the importance of Husserl, to the point he was only rivaled by Wittgenstein for his impact among 20th century philosophers.

Really though if you can't comprehend him on this wide a level I don't know what I can tell you other than git gud

Well, there were almost no books back then (in 1800, less than 1000 books had ever existed, discounting the lost greek works, of course), so they had to re-read.

In the last part of the book, he just wants to show his friend what he learned, although his friend can't unterstand what he means.
