/lit/ - Literature

What radical manifestos would /lit/ say offer the greatest philisophical/political/literary value?

>Tormenting a child for a trivial reason or no reason at all is something that appalls almost everyone. But many psychologists interpret the concept of abuse much more broadly. Is spanking, when used as part of a rational and consistent system of discipline, a form of abuse?

Which disease might I consciously attempt to infect myself with as a means of having a justifiable reason to live the truNEET literary lifestyle?

Writers like Kafka, Hubert Selby Jr, Flannery O'Connor, Robert Louis Stevenson, Friedrich Schiller, William Somerset Maugham, Elizabeth Barrett Browning etc all suffered from comfy non-immediately-life-threatening diseases while writing their best works, and thus didn't have to suffer the indignities of a full-time job.

I've thought about tuberculosis for example, but the effort involved in actually catching it seems unreasonable strenuous. Any other suggestions?

I don't need literature. Just don't need it. I can entertain myself. I can form ethical value systems myself. I can humour myself. I can lie in bed by myself and imagine things which are intriguing and profound. What are the use of books to someone like me? I'm seriously curious. I can literally live the rest of my life in silence, consuming vegetables, fruit, bread and water and spending my time exercising or simply contemplating both the internal and external world. Why should I "strive" for more? Why should I introduce unnecessary confusion and frustration into my psyche when I am already living a flawlessly virtuous life which is sufficiently fulfilling for me? Why should I seek relationships when my own company provides me with the intimacy and gratification I would otherwise be without? Why should I utter a single word when I can simply get by without saying anything to anyone, as I am strongly inclined to do? I don't get it /lit/. So much of the life advertises to me as worthwhile and definitive of success involves far more nuisance, noise, needless hardship and superfluous expense of energy. Have I simply reached peak wisdom? Is this what the final manifestation of the Black Pill entails? Are there any books on this issue? Thanks for reading.
