I'm so fucking sick of the mountains of people telling me I need to stop using my taste and read / go through tonnes of boring shit.
Dostoevsky and Dickens and a lmost all books written before 1900 are boring as fuck. There are zero worthwhile "insights" in these books, as if that's why I even read books lol.
All philosophies are just one out of infinitely many possible points of view, but some are better marketed than others. I have a constant crushing feeling because pseuds tell me I have to read Plato even when I know it will be BORING AS FUCK, trivial, vague, fallacious shit. I KNOW this before I've even fucking read the republic. The dialogues I have read have been sophistry.
I am SO fucking bored of SICP. All it does is repackage simple stuff and presents it in an overly complicated way. Lisp is nice but if it is never used irl then why do the mental masturbators never shut up about it?
Boredom is a a completely intellectual emotion.
look mom!
You may laugh at him and call it bait but hes 100% right

I don't read dickens for insight, I read dickens for entertaining.
