Thank you

Really riles me that people see this as a negative, no matter how massive your vocabulary you will need to look something up now and again.
>>8212639
>>can only write in bland pose suited for technical specs or didactic text
write historical semi-fiction

>past nietzsche
you mean beyond Nietzsche
No one here has actually read actual big boy philosophy like Kant besides a few /lit/izens. If everyone sat down right now and started to read Kant methodically, instead of just a vague perusal, the collective intelligence of this board would increase dramatically.
But nah, people want to have the perception of being well-read or well-written without actually doing the dirty work of sitzfleisch, that's why none of you will become great, because greatness takes staying power

I read some Kant, concerning the two formulations of the two formulations of the categorical imperative. It was dry reading, and I have been told his other stuff isn't much more fun.
Hey man, I don't need this shit, fuck you. Can a nigga just ask what I need to read before reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra?
And is anyone here well-versed with Gurdijeff? Specifically, the All & Everything series. Are they worth the read?

How much are we talking?
>have decent potential as a writer but don't want to pursue it because i would be almost impossible for me to get significant recognition
>will try to make it as a filmmaker and probably fail, then move on to feeding retarded gamers pseudo-artistic bs because money and fame matter more to me than anything
>>8214722
>then move on to feeding retarded gamers
how are you planning on doing this?
>>8214745
I've programmed games before and done all the assets for them. Nothing on a commercial scale but relatively close
It's really not that difficult
>>8214755
i would love to write for games and possibly film, but i have no idea where one would even start forming connections etc.
>>8214722
>then move on to feeding retarded gamers pseudo-artistic bs
better get a move on, that market's getting popular
no ability as a writer
no purpose
>forget all the great ideas i come up with in the shower
>tfw they were really good
>>8214972
buy a waterproof marker and write on the shower glass? record yourself?
I love the idea of reading, but plenty of times I don't feel like reading and never get around to it
>>8212639
>read most of the western canon over these past twenty years and retained little.
>can't escape my vague incomplete notions concerning everything.
>forever Bloom aspiring to Dedalus.

Focus.

Most people on here read for enjoyment, misguided "self-improvement", or because they want to write fiction. There are a few pseudo-scholars but definitely not enough to warrant how often "/lit/ just reads to feel and look smart" is invoked
>>8214745
Pretty sure there are some community service programs where you do that
