/lit/ - Literature

If I learn classical Roman Latin, will I still be able to more or less easily read Medieval hermetic alchemical texts or is Medieval Latin a whole different ball game?

>get obsessed with reading literary fiction for a while
>one day realize it holds no interest for me anymore
>can't relate to any of it, it just seems like bullshit
>suspect that this whole time I've just been a retard who was told he was smart as a kid and based his entire identity around this before realizing he was actually a retard and then attempting to compensate by learning about liberal arts subjects because he was too stupid for STEM/shit that is actually useful

I am worried about the existential threat posed by AI

Cause google translate is always accurate, right guys?

this is way more accurate than people here will ever have the balls to admit. like 90% of the greatest literature is basically just men learning to be more empathetic and observant and less like testosterone driven cave men, and what could be describes as "becoming more in touch with their 'feminine side'"

I didn't get the Target job.

I'm not autistic but I act a hell of a lot like the people on this autism dating show. Is there an ugly truth that I need to confront?

The reader died reading the book

I wish I could show your parents what you post on the internet

anyone else ever feel like there aren't actually that many good books? you never really run out of good things to read sure but I feel like after you are done with the main masterpieces, which there aren't that many of, you pretty much get the very large portion of what literature has to offer. from there on out it's diminishing returns.
