Hey look, two identical threads!

What do you mean, "pretend"? After all my reading is that our whole life is mere pretend, did not shakespeare say that the world was a stage, and we mere mummers to grace it?

I think your question is structurally flawed at the deepest level

It's "all the world is a stage, and we the people are all but merely acting on it."

truly elemntary

Great post :) I am quite interested in philosophy myself, though I am devising my own system, so I try to avoid reading anything that might pollute my conceptualization process.

You know we're on /lit/, right? It's impossible to pretend to be what you already are.

I get that we're all supposed to have a big self depreciating circle jerk about how we're all pseuds but I'm unironically smarter than the rest of you.

Shakespeare is overrated: has a bad taste of spirit; bad understanding of the soul; insipid philosophy, insufferably psychology. The man could write, sure, but it was a stitchwork of metaphor that should have lost its relevance centuries ago. How can we even read Shakespeare after T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and other obscure poets? T.S. Eliot said in an essay once, "John Donne ... [is] ... Good," (Eliot 34) and I aggree [sic] with him. The man blew Shakespeare out of the waters incarnadine.
