what's the point of reading? I can just think nonstop about everything constantly and then flesh it out by talking to other humanswho cares what some incel retard philosopher said 300 years ago? seriously
>>25620986>incel retard philosopher from 300 years agoIf you think the retards you talk to today are more intelligent than the thinkers of the past, then you’re evidently in good company.
>>25620986The point of reading is to like learn how to defeat the Gauls

>>25620986Give it a go, your thinking and talking thing. You’ll soon see why you need to read.
>>25620986This is like asking "Why study a subject when I can just think about it?"It's incredibly myopic, presumptuous, and frankly dangerous thinking to assume you and your peers are the only necessary perspectives.
>>25620986Because the Incel Retard Philosopher from 300 years ago did exactly what you describe for 40 years and then wrote his finding in a book which you can read in a few hours, thus giving you access to a lifetime of such observations.He himself did this after reading the observations of the last 3000 years of philosophers because youtube shorts had not yet been invented and he had to pass time on the toilet somehow. Meaning that he started with the advantage of 30 centuries of "thinking nonstop and then talking to other humans" that you lack. Even if he personally were just a retarded incel, he has the advantage of millennia of accrued philosophic contemplation to stand on, much as you personally would not have a snowball's chance in Hell of discovering electricity on your own, yet you know the basics of how it works because you inherited that knowledge.Literacy is essentially a Newgame+ option for civilization, it allows knowledge to perpetuate inter-generationally without a system of apprenticeships or cults of knowledge.

What's the point of making bait threads? You could just not be a piece of shit and talk to people earnestly and get good attention instead of bad.
