Doesn't work because reddit types love genre fiction. A fedora tip image would have been better (though you're a pleb regardless)

Just /phil/maxx at that point, or are you that retarded that need a fake story to understand themes and ideas? Lol literary fags are just closelet /phil/cels

Good thread. My intellect has been stimulated. I have grown as a person.

This anti-fiction psyop is getting pretty tired, OP. You been pushing it pretty hard for a while now.

Consider suicide.
>>
OP is a STEMfag who got laid off due to AI. These fiction-hate tirades are always autistic nerds who don't read anything but nonfiction, if they even read books at all. (A huge element of the online "rationalist" community is that none of them read books, they just read forum and blog posts and develop their philosophy in a vacuum. It's why AI CEOs are all very weird and Gnostic-sounding.)
>>
>>25263319
hate to bother but do you think you could explain what "gnostic" means in this context? ive seen it like 25 times and i just cant intuit it
>>
>just published literary fiction
f-fuck you OP
>>
>>25263357
I'm not using it on a religious sense , as in the demiurge, Sophia, etc. A lot of tech people believe similar ideas though. When autistic or otherwise nerdy people spend way too much time on computers if the Internet, they tend to disassociate. They start to deny physical reality and get into ideas like simulation theory or transhumamism and the Singularity. Yeah Internet becomes more real than real life.

Are you fucking retarded? I love fiction real fiction, literary fags just cant accept that their fake stories have the same or less value than "genre" fiction
>>
>>25263874
>responds to a post about aesthetic experiences
>cites stories and 'value'
wew
>>
>>25263357
gnostic in these contexts usually means a strongly held esoteric belief that paints itself as having special insight into reality, usually divorced from actual reality or experience
lesswrong (tech people) is a good example because they think themselves the pinnacle of rationality and truth despite looking like literal space alien lizard people to anyone normal

>>25263949
And literary retards looks like neet ghouls reading dovstoevky

Unsurprisingly, your reading comprehension is shit.

Why do you keep spamming this
>I'm smart and I belong here
line and variations thereof in different threads? You've been at it for a while now and it's starting to look more like you're reassuring yourself than insulting the other anon

You do realise that le 'literary fiction' actually just means good writing? It's not a genre.

>It's not a genre.
It absolutely is a genre.
Its subject is the manners of the middle class.
Its target audience is that same middle class (since they love reading about themselves.)
Publishers advertise and market "muh literary fiction" just like any other genre.

She's got nothing to write about. She's a purposeless bourgeois nobody.

>>25264510
This is the whole fucking problem with literary fiction, they think it adds something while its just as dumb as "genre" fiction, so they value a book on how smart they feel after reading it, so they can tell others
>>
>>25262882
Northernlion and Tectone read literature?

>>25264504
I guess I should have added that I am the judge of what is and isn't literary.
