/lit/ - Literature

>>15333166
i'm actually behind/heavily involved with two of the more successful political campaigns of the modern era (i truly dont mean to add undue mystery to that end, but i can't say much beyond this); i've worked in political and tech consulting; got heavily into investment; now i've retreated from it all into my own private library and no joke just read and write (nothing of any consequence) all day.
i studied literature at the undergrad level and politics at the grad level.

to answer your more significant question:
so many layers to unpack here, i will start with the two basic ones. literature gave form to the aspects of me that inform everything else: my love for the world, and my appreciation of understanding over knowledge (you might say: the reasonable over the right).

as to the first: i cannot stress this enough. you might find it lame, i do not care; it is love for this world that separates the great mass from its elite few for me. there is so much to say here that i depart from saying it: you get it if you get it, there is no convincing or persuading--you either feel the great grinning holy light of all things, the still-small voice, the Way the Path the Answer, etc.--the great mysterium tremendum et faascinans that foments from the depths of the dark up unto the human light: what can i say here? i was born into this world a stranger; literature helped welcome me, nurture me, draw me into the folds of this world in ever more subtle and distinct ways. simply: it showed me that care, love, sincerity, honesty, etc. were not arbitrary or ancillary to greatness, but its true prerequesite.

fuck it, on quarantine, have some time, why not? just provocative enough.
but tell me first: are you a student? what inspired this? what are you looking to get out of this? what is your background?
