/lit/ - Literature

This anon >>20769094 made an insightful post connecting concepts he's learned and thus creating "knowledge" and putting his intellect to work, and yet these two retards >>20769109 and>>20769390 have the audacity to diminish his efforts. Makes me think. It's a clear example of negative reinforcement. Someone makes an insightful post and retards like these show up everytime discouraging the creation of quality posts throughout the board. No need to wonder why this board is fucking shit. Pic somewhat related.

What is the literary equivalent of this?

>bring us back to the 90s
Anon, the roots of the present social degeneration go back to that time and before. You are afraid of the unfolding car crash and, rather than try to help the survivors and avoid flying cars, are choosing to live in a perpetual state of watching the oncoming collision. It is not a solution.

Hawking, Dawkins, Tyson, and the rest are the literal definition of pseudointellectuals and the epitome of everything wrong with the commodification and exaltation of science to the point of a cult. They have been told so many times by so many different people that theirs is the only art solely because its the most readily commodifiable that they actually believe it. They are as vain and naive---yet nevertheless inundated by such immense hubris---that they truly deserve their position as functional movie stars. If they had even a modicum of self-awareness, if they even possessed a shred of dignity, they would recognize that the "shoulders of giants" upon which they stand stand---as a result of their markedly unreasonable approach to logic---will be the highest peak western civilization will reach for they would laugh at your Descartes, Newton, Liebniz, Cantor, etc...

Anon, don't forget: suicide is not an escape. Even killing yourself you will never be able to leave.
