Fiction is for angsty brainlets who want to escape instead of understand. Change my mind.

You don‘t. But the fact nobody has dared to give a valid counter argument speaks volumes.

I‘ll give you that. There‘s fiction that can help you understand. But why bury it under unnecessary prose and made up stories when you can just distill it and lose nothing?

Heya guys, OP again. I just wanted to say that upon thinking about it a bit longer and reading all the responses in the thread, I understood the error of my ways, and would like to apologize to all the fiction lovers. I was wrong, you were right. Please, mods, delete the thread, thank you!

>> No.13059754

considering almost everyone likes fiction in some form (tv shows, video games, comics etc) I doubt everyone who enjoys is angsty

It must leave an impact on you. Something can be able to make you understand but it cannot captivate you, hence, it goes ignored and thus it never helped you understand.

Philosophy is for sheltered brainlets who don't have enough problems in life to make their angst feel validated, so they invent problems to bother themselves
