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.

You use the word pretension a lot to deflect your own.
I think you're stifling your intellectual curiosity and potential, consciously or not, by placing yourself above the pursuit of knowledge. All, apparently, because of a perceived pretension.
You're a faggot, OP.

It really isn't a contest anon; focus on primary sources.

Well, /lit/ doesn't differ much from most boards except that the degradation doesn't happen as fast here. All boards at their starting points were not incredibly good or anything but decent. In Stage I the boards find out what they like and create "Boardname"-core. After a certain amount of time has passed they ejaculated enough all over said "Boardname"-core so that a fine layer of autismo sperm forms on top of it. This sperm layer marks the beginning of stage II, a few autismos will notice that the sperm layer starts to stink so they start to turn away from their favorite books and create M E M E S. Most of them do this while still liking the books. As you know, autismos are insecure. Naturally they can't like things that have been criticized on the internet. After a few months the M E M E S have won and everyone is on their side, no one admits to unironically liking "Boardname"-core anymore. Here and there there'll be a few autismos who openly hate these books ironically but that's about it. Now Stage III begins, since there aren't any autismos left circlejerking all over "Boardname"-Core the memes will slowly fade away and the only thing left is the forgotten "Boardname"-core covered in layers of old crusty cum. M E M E S don't destroy art M E M E R S do.
