>>24837220You can choose to stop suffering any time, friend!
>>24837217education, to pour over the words of the ancients and find meaning
>>24837236>pourhmm
>>24837220sorry for being a pleb newfag but a Hylic is ?? I want to be able to inspeak insult others too.
>>24837528hylic means you're onna them fags who trust in the demiurge's illusory realm, that is, you ain't onna them initiate fags who've had their prostate impaled by the spear of wisdom during ceremonial rites
>>24837531I'm generally anti-catamite so maybe I'm not ready for Hylic, I'll just stick with Pseud.

>>24837217They say 'for knowledge' but they lie.
>>24837217You can choose to read philosophy, religious texts, mystics, textbooks from your field of expertise. All of these have value whether it's increasing your knowledge or enriching you spiritually, bringing you closer to God. But fiction is pure entertainment. High quality entertainment, Joyce and Pynchon require you to put in the work, but entertainment.
>>24837217It makes the bad thoughts go away
I read street signs for navigation
>>24837217To gain insights into history and thought to determine causes of the male sex crisis
>>24837217You can classify everything as "entertainment" if you want, it's a nebulous concept.
>>24840402Or you can use words in their commonly understood manner and communicate like a human being instead of a sub-literate animal.
>>24837217I read to expand my mind which is now hhhhuuuuuuuuuuugeeeeeeeeeeeeee kek
>>24840445I do that all the time. However you are being disingenuous or just silly to imply that it's a possibility in this context. OP's very question is loaded with semantic fuckoldry waiting to be dribbled and sputtered onto my innocent psyche.
>>24837217It's enjoyable. Not enjoyable in the way people usually use the word, like when they talk about playing vidya or watching anime, but a deeper form of enjoymentI also feel like reading makes you wiser, even if it's just reading fiction. That's just a hunch doe
>>24837231ok i did what now?
>>24840471>chatgpt>freespeech>vaxxines>t. 43-year-old "functional" alcoholic that was retarded enough to fall for the Q meme
to understand the human condition
>>24840486>but a deeper form of enjoymentit's just more noise, sure it has benefits like better literacy levels, but so does playing vidya, like better object tracking or hand/eye coordination. They're all just hobbies.
