>>23322009>Mental and moral defects are the source of high art.>Do you want to read the philosophic novel penned by “the man who was well adjusted and normal and had a restrained emotional range”?>The writers that we recognize as sublimely talented are in a genuine sense the Men Who Don’t Fit In – everybody claims they are “alienated” and its contrived, sure, but some people actually are. The ones who actually are become the artists if their emotional range and intellect facilitate it. All art is actually “outsider art” in that way.
>>23322009The gift does not smile on the well-adjusted.

>>23322011Forgot to add that Rimbaud became an arms trafficker when in Africa. He lived a hell of a life. He accomplished more as a teenager than any of us will in our lifetimes. It's unbelievably sobering
>>23322009>Anon discovers that most talented creative people are abnormal

>>23324539Shakespeare is pure technical skill but he doesn't say anything interesting, the most common reaction to Shakespeare is "holy shit what a metaphor" but that's it. Shakespeare lacks the ability to change your life, to change how you see the world like the writers in the OP can. All of Shakes' "wisdom" is ripped straight from the classics, like>“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”Shakespeare is the Beatles of literature. Immensely talented, incredibly versatile, yet . Shakespeare cannot talk about the extremes of the human experience because he's just too normal.If you're interested in pessimism you read schopenhauer. If you're interested in people wearing masks read Pessoa. If you're anxious read Kafka, etc. Jack of all trades, master of none. Don't trust anyone whose favorite writer is Shakespeare.

normalfags are retarded and have nothing valuable to say at all
>>23322009Creatives tend to have high, uncontrollable libidos. They either indulge their perversions or spend their whole life in a furious state of repression.
Extensively studying the lives of the greatest authors made me understand that pederasty is the only true /lit/ choice.
>>23322009Intelligence alienates you from society. This makes them miserable, and stops them from having normal healthy relationships. This manifests in other forms.Society's values are largely forced upon people by their rulers with whatever is politically convenient at the time instead. Intellgient people perceive through the shallowness of the fake moral values and reject them. Hence, writers are weird.
>>23327441>Intelligence alienates you from society.Not true.There are immense amounts of well-adjusted, intelligent people. These are Silicon Valley or entrepreneur types, high conscientiousness, politically active, curious about IQ, love analyzing systems & solving mechanical or administrative problems. Alienation only comes when you're highly intelligent AND not one of those people. Even if you're an autistic programmer, you can hop on /g/ or discord and meet 100s of people like you. If you're truly fucking weird there is no social circle for you, so there's no recourse left but to read books written by other weirdos before you were born. Nobody is really like you, but those men from centuries ago were far closer to you than anyone around you is.For example, when Mishima talks about sexual inversion and mentions the ideal of twinning in Grecian or Victorian art. A desire to merge the two genders is actually incredibly rare. Pornography has traps and trannies and futanari, but these are always predicated on either feminizing or masculinizing, and entirely sexual, whereas the ideal of androgyny is to merge the concepts of masculine and feminine into a singular being, and is both sexual and aesthetic. Only a very rare kind of person holds this ideal. Hemingway's mother may have had it, which is why she obsessed over Ernest matching with his sister. Similarly, this may explain the pedophilia among this type of person, which is markedly different from that of the average pedophile. The latter views children as sex objects, and is a pervert, while the former looks to them as a real-life model of the intersex ideal. The Greeks idolized catamites though and not children because adolescence is when the masculine drive reaches its full bloom, but the facial fat and skin quality is still quite like that of a young woman. These are things only a particular kind of person may understand. If you are such a person, your fate is a lonely one.
>>23327564>high conscientiousnessFunny how I know exactly who youve been listening to, and the dime cent psycho-speculation in whixh you continue on to engage only confirms it.Programmers etc are happy because theyre rich, or more precisely, have the means to distract themselves from unhappiness, i.e. they are socially allowed to don the mask of success and play happy. If writing was lucrative youd see happy writers. Not complicated.That you tried to engage with Mishima and the only possible thing your allegedly well-adjusted intelligent brain could come up with is>yeah man, i saw this hentai online where the artist drew this big dick on the anime girl, i know what you mean man fr frTells us all we need to know. Go back to the jeet discord and larp with their gpt bot side projects pretending to be users (go ahead and ask me how i know).
>>23325055>Shakespeare cannot talk about the extremes of the human experience because he's just too normal.Have you ever read the lines of Thersites in Troilus and Cressida? Or those of Timon of Athens?
