What's the point of "experimental" literature? Do these authors just like to be pretentious on purpose?
>>
they weren't smart enough to into theoretical literature
>>
They likely have no experiences or deeper questions that are worth relating to others and no respect for the established forms of literature
>>
If you can't be good, be different

ok

eventually one of them will stumble upon something cool and make all the pretentiousness worthwhile

I hope so, I really hope so.

All this person is doing is describing the way they want people to understand their description, they're never actually describing a physical thing except when they use physical imagery as simile or metaphor for their method of description. Describing description (this whole thing) is pointless, ridiculous, also possibly schizophrenic.

Are you implying that something can be objectively "good"?
>>
>>9238213
Yes. Good is objective.

The proof is trivial and left to the reader as an exercise.

I have no idea what the point. I guess they are being pretentious. I don't know.

Either way, I can't read the blue font. Too little contrast. Why bother using a font for something so that people can't even read it?

They are dull and empty attempts as most "intellectual discourses" in the modern realm tend to be. They are all hollow and we easily recognize it as such. There really isn't any point in even trying to suggest that somehow this is any "experiment" but rather an authors own ego in trying to fit a certain mold of becoming something beyond themselves which is entirely wasteful of insulting to anyone who's ever actually conducted a legitimate experiment.

In literature this is perverse and should be left to these egoists who achieve nothing and create very little.
