/lit/ - Literature

Peter, remember that time you became an internet book nerd she/they?

No, writers are not pretentious, they are one of the highest quality persons in existence today. The intelligence of the average person on lit is much greater than someone on pol.
The reason for this is the wealth of knowledge that exists that has derived from some of the greatest authors to ever exist, like David Foster Wallace, J.K. Rowling, Marx, Lennin, Malcolm X and Engels.

Teach me, how do I self-initiate into schizophrenia?

are zoomers really like this?

I feel like actual writers, as in people who write seriously and get published, are actually pretty cool. Think of guys like George Saunders or Marlon James. Even when some of their opinions can be pretty "normie," like this or that opinion on politics, etc., it's still worth listening to them talk because out of nowhere they'll drop an opinion on something you've never considered before and that is very interesting. They have a high tendency to "break conditioning" and say things that are actually interesting to listen to.

how would anyone on post2016/lit/ know?

Starting steps is believing the government is watching your every move, with cameras and microphones embedded into the walls, and that there is federal agents hiding in plain sight.

>>18309235
Step 2 is believing that your thoughts are not your own and that they actually come from a microchip hidden in your brain at birth, and that this is why you cannot remember your childhood.

>>18309235
Next step is believing that your life serves a single purpose, a purpose under that of enacting God's, and believing that God wants to punish the evil deeds of the federal agents.

Well this, but that’s because they are. The color red cant be trusted
Birds watch you
Birdwatchers are the enemy
The mailman slips listening devices in your mail
Packages are coated in a material that makes you more susceptible to the politicians brainwashing
Three dimensional processing is a mental false flag
Ideas are the real enemy. They wear your family member’s skin and use their appearance to get close before clamping you in a trap
Everyone wants to get you
Godspeed

Stop cringeposting about schizophrenia, it is blatantly clear you aren't schizo. The real meat of schizo processing is in the method by which conclusions are reached not the absurdist conclusions themselves. Your analysis is diagnostic and completely ignores WHY the schizo arrives at such conclusions. (hint: it is not because they are schizo and it is not because they are paranoid)

The mechanism driving schizo thought patterns is an extremely short attention span. The manic state of extracting presupposed meaning out of every momentary stimulus leads to flitting delusions. Paranoia, anger, and other lizard brain emotional responses are quick to trigger from moment to moment stimulus. Longer constructs tied to a string of behaviors over time like respect, love, or duty cannot be expressed by the schizo. Understanding this is key to understanding the limitations of a schizo and also makes their seemingly erratic behavior far more predictable.
