Reading feels so unsatisfying these days. It is a consumercuck activity

Reading feels so unsatisfying these days. It is a consumercuck activity

Start with the Greeks

Your conclusion doesn't follow from the premise.

Maybe if you read more books and less Veeky Forums you wouldn't be dismissing things with brainlet terms like cuck

>books are consumerist
What are you reading?

How many books have you read this year OP? Which ones?

Think
War and peace (started it last year)
Brideshead Revisited
Two history books about the Romans which I enjoyed the most but still left me feeling like a consumercuck

Sounds like your own insecurities are to blame more than the books

Go to the library and read for free instead dawg

You're right OP, you're just missing the right terminology. Consuming knowledge is the same as consuming mass media. Turn to mysticism. Real knowledge comes from intuition, not external sources.

>sex is fleeting and dissatisfying so just masturbate instead

what a cucked way of thinking

bet you are a cunt

>Real knowledge comes from intuition, not external sources.
This

he's not

Book culture is as much of a product as television

Wasn't that the point of Don Quixote?

OP is actually correct here

>wasn't that the point of Don Quixote
Fuck no.

Quixote was kind of a cautionary tale about people who took books too seriously. I think the movie Videodrome fits Quixote better. As for OP the lack of feeling from reading is like the talking walls in Fahrenheit 451, voices just telling you what you want to hear.

give me just one or a couple themes you got from don quixote you brainlet

you can be as brief or comprehensive as you want but back up that you actually understand it

>Cant seem to finish any books
Are there any books which hooks you instantly?

read short stories and poetry and laugh at everybody else

hah. figures. brainlet

It's only consumerist if you've objectified your own person to the point that your own thoughts have become status symbols.

Plato believed something like this. Start with the greeks OP
FPBP

life is consumption, you cant escape it

production-consumption is the real false dichotomy that I wish marxists discussed instead of this male-female false dichotomy bullshit

good job liberals

>Quixote was kind of a cautionary tale about people who took books too seriously.
theres no way the novels meaning is that straightforward

>life is the opposite of what defines it
wow really makes you think post-modern corporate fascist-chan wow

Why would you even read when you can watch some M*A*S*H?

because 90s born queers can't enjoy that boomer shit
I enjoyed homicide life on the street and lonesome dove though

fpbp

Stop being a loser on Veeky Forums. Go for a walk. Appreciate the beauty of nature, it costs nothing. Let your mind wander free from the civilization that has created the word 'consumercuck' in your mind. Contemplate the lives of the ancient Greeks, who lived in a sun soaked paradise and their daily worries. Listen to the Yale open courses lectures and learn about how they created democracy.

You're alright OP. I wouldn't put your name on an ostrakon, not yet.

The londonfrog now conceals his threads, mods please

Philosophy is garbage.
So are scifi and fantasy.
So are biographies.
So are so called historical text.

Just read activist text that lay out plans of action, or engineering text so you can build or fix something.

Anything else is a distraction or propaganda.

Thought I was the only one
Idk if what I'm reading is trash or it's me

you should kys

I'd crush you irl, nerd

>hurr durr stop making me think about how i'm wasting my life

Good. Get mad. Now do something. Don't waste away in a corner, consuming.

>>Good. Get mad. Now do something. Don't waste away in a corner, consuming.
I haven't been mad in 8 years, I'm too scared to go outside
