Yes.

Drinking wine is totally pointless

BUT BUT DELICIOUS TASTE AND SMELL AND SUBTLETIES THAT MAKE MEALS TASTE BETTER

what the fuck is your point?

>>14911060
ah, but you see fellow clinically retarded person

wine is real

>>14911069
kek. But you're saying books don't taste good? what about movies or crying in front of a painting?

>>14911082
if it's the subject matter is not some type of recollection of past events, it's completely useless

>>14911017
reading in general is totally pointless. Just become a codemonkey and die so you can leave your kids a medium size inheritance.

>>14911105
use is subjective

A lot of fiction has a moral, theme, or life lesson to teach if you absolutely need "a point". Such as fables and allegories. But this is a rather myopic view. Everything could be considered "pointless" through some framework or somebody's perspective.

Nigga most the nonfiction you read probably has no real purpose or use either

>FICTION BAD

Fiction is a reflection of reality you loping drip

Everything is fiction. Maybe except for accounting documents and statistical data, but even those are just collections of random forms filled with meaningless information. And are frequently manufactured to push an agenda.

>Fiction is pointless
No, fiction is entertainment

Awesome bait kid

It's literally not, it's a direct refutation of the argument. You could argue that you can glean something more from certain pieces of fiction, but ultimately it's primary purpose, (as with most artistic practice) is to engage or entertain the mind.

>>14911017
Exactly. That's what makes it superior to nonfiction, which attempts to have a point. All the best things in life are, like life itself, pointless.

>>14911017
Everything is pointless ultimately. Finding value in literature is as valid as a thing else.

>>14911069
books are also real

>>14911105
Recollection is equally if not more useless.

>>14911017
Non-fiction simply attempts to describe and make sense of life as it is lived. Reading fiction removes a stage of separation and means you are reading life as it is lived itself. Much more basederer

>>14911017
Everything is pointless if you maintain that everything has no point.

>>14911109
hellleoaaa, uhmmm, based department? based and redbulled, this is a good idiom for complimenting good statements.

>>14911017
Okay, propose something with a point then motherfucker.

Becoming a codemonkey necessitates reading too.

>>14911082
But books do taste good

This is the ultimate midwit cope. Fiction opens up entirely new avenues of intelligence, while non-fiction is stiff and spells everything out for you. You literally fell for a low IQ meme, because you yourself are low IQ.
