Somewhere in Melbourne, in a place whose name I do not care to remember, lives a trust-fund kiddie. One of those who has a typewriter and YouTube Play button gathering dust on a shelf. An occasional coffee brewed only from the finest French roasts, rice more often than bread, stir fry on most nights, eggs and abstinence on Saturdays, and sometimes Shark Fin soup as a treat on Sundays-these consumed one-tenth of his allowance. The rest went to used books from musky second-hand bookstores, the finest stationary from Muji, and seldom leafed through hardcover copies of classic literature.

Our young gentlemen is approximately 20 years old, his complexion is soft and delicate, his face round, and is a very early riser and a great lover of aesthetics. Some claim that his family name is Woo or Wa, for in attempts to conceal his identity from the prying (and often sinister) curiosity of the web, his screen name has changed several times in the past couple years, although reliable conjecture seems to indicate that his name is Wu.

And so, let it be said that this aforementioned gentleman spent his times of leisure-which meant most of the year-collecting the finest clothes of vintage prep-school fashion and posing with suitable books in hand (the titles always in prominent display for the camera!) for Instagram and YouTube. Falling into such enthusiasm for the “dark academic” aesthetic and it's projected image of learnedness, he began to peek into some of the books he formerly only adorned. So inspired was he by the prose and daring nature of the beatniks that he forgot almost completely about his formal studies or the management of his allotted funds. In his rash curiosity and folly he went so far as to quit his part time job and pursue a career as a writer.

A fan of the Jazz Age writers featured in Midnight in Paris as well as other celebrated literary figures of the 20th Century, he thought none were as fine as Jack Kerouac. Because the clarity of his prose and complexity of his thought seemed to him more valuable than pearls. In particular when he read the declarations of rebellion: “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” And also: “Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.”

With these words and phrases our poor little chink lost his mind.

The really frustrating thing about Waldun is that he serves as a reminder of an unfortunate truth: pretenders often prevail.

People with integrity tend to handicap themselves with honesty and humility. People like Waldun will simply imitate the appearance of humility, essentially generating supernormal stimuli designed to trigger a response from an audience. A bit like Ocasio-Cortez's famous statement "I don't have enough information to form an opinion on this topic." A quick google search will demonstrate that Ms. Cortez frequently and boldly speaks out on topics of which she is completely ignorant, and the shit-eating grin with which she made this statement of humility makes it plainly clear that she has been waiting for the perfect moment to drop that line on national television.

Even more frustrating is that pretenders often don't know they're pretending, and so they assume everyone else is pretending as well. I'm going to guess that Waldun very much believes the common opinion you hear from people between the ages of 18-24: Adults don't actually know anything! They're just making it up as they go along! When in reality there are very clear-cut steps you must take to meet almost any "adult" goal you can think of: home ownership, career advancement, vehicle maintenance, child-rearing, that sort of thing. The reason people say this is because they lack genuine humility and empathy, and naturally assume everyone is as ignorant as they are, and therefore they never bother to seek out guidance from more experienced people. After about a decade of receiving advice and ignoring it and seeing the disastrous consequences of your own stupidity, you begin to understand that you don't know everything.

Waldun has a dangerous mix of ignorance and intelligence: ignorant of what makes good literature, but intelligent enough to mime the posture of a literary genius. He claims to have been taken down a peg by our criticism and to have spent time really thinking over his abilities and trying to write better, but in reality all he has actually done is refined his intellectual posturing. Whereas he previously believed that a literary genius must be "well-spoken, well-dressed, and surrounded by books," he now believes a literary genius must be "all of the above+open to criticism." Very soon he will enter a stage where he pretends to be unpretentious, appearing on youtube in plain t-shirts and drinking his wine from a tumbler, and writing books about something other than writing. And his audience will assume that these aesthetic changes reflect some kind of genuine inner shift in his outlook on life and literature, but it is in reality just a more sophisticated form of pretense.

I don't consider Waldun a writer. He's an eceleb peddling an "aesthetic" to women. At last not in any real sense is he a writer. Part of my point about "externalizing our personalities" is precisely that writing as hobby is far too private for Zoomers. Zoomer's don't understand privacy. Writing is only as serious for Waldun as it is something visual he can project for social media.

It's like women artists on IG, where every post of their work is actually a crypto-selfie, the woman half-obscuring the painting. In the same way, I don't consider these women painters.

Yes, yes, I actually agree with you but the LARP that we're living in right now demands that we acknowledge these people as artists.

Here's the deal, you can call yourself whatever you want, but until you have likes and followers in the mainstream to acknowledge your self-identity as an "artist", 99% of people will see you as a schizo or unsuccessful or a loser if you attempt to do art without an audience.

That's why Waldun is a magnet for hate, half of the people on /lit/ hate anyone who tries, and half of /lit/ doesn't want to admit that 90% of success is not based of quality of work or whatever, but simply based on whether or not there is a general consensus among normies that this person is an artist and not some schizo larp'ing.

LARP it until you make it!

I think you have it backwards. You're saying that by LARP alone these people should be acknowledged as artists, because that's what gets recognition? The only metric you're using is "likes and followers", but what about, you know, the actual product?

Waldun is a LARPer. It's not an indication of his success, unless you think his actual writing doesn't matter. Our problem with him is that he is LARPer INSTEAD of being a writer.

Friend, you are 100% correct, and I will explain why we are both right.

In a different world, there would be people with the free time to seek out the nails that stick up, the people who are too shy and too unsure of their own greatness to post on here and ask for review or friendship. Instead, you get bipolar maniacs who fill up your space, schizos, and those who pick on both of the former, sniping from the sidelines for keks.

That dude who has been writing the amazing screenplay for 3 years in University while skating by on B's in STEM to keep his parents happy? He's one "it's shit" from quitting.

It requires a certain narcissist flare, a fire VS ice situation here, where unless your personality (or the team backing you) is confident enough, you're ngmi.

That's why in 2021 the larp is critical. It feels off the closed-loop system where you have to run in open loop, the "controller" being your ego that can take the hits, translate them, and improve to what "the mob" wants.

Trad pub or self-pub, all that matters is who interprets what the audience desires. Getting it to the audience is a majority of the battle, and RC Waldun has nearly 200k subs on YouTube. The man is clearly doing something right and I salute him.

When I was a child I would read a new book every 3 days from the time I was like 6 until 13. Once I discovered girls, I read maybe 1-2 books a year.

He is wise. You have had such little life experience and so little adventure that you do not recognize someone who has deeply self-analyzed.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to come across rude. It is sanctimonious to believe that my position is more enlightened than yours, but in this case, I feel you have not challenged what he has said about short naps / rest, and how it shifts your perspective enough to reduce anxiety in your mind.

I'm not sure, to be honest, and that lingering doubt is a good slippery slope to gain momentum from. Am I good enough? I don't know, that's the knife's edge, really. If you can create a plane to fall upon, it keeps the rest of your life dynamic. Maybe I defend RC Waldun because I'm larp'ing even more than he is?

What if I'm just an irresponsible, your-mom-raping, broke, delusional, terrible writer whose fate it is to live in a Chrysler minivan down by some river?

That's the magic and excitement that keeps tomorrow interesting. Are you interested in your life, anon, or is it on a conveyor belt that you have no control over?

but that doesn't make any sense-- you acknowledge you could be a failure and a larper without realizing it, isn't this the same thing as having no control if you refuse to grow and learn to write instead of just publishing shit. this belief system you cling to really isn't very broad or useful, it's just a platitude.

I'd like to consider myself a writer since I'm 43 and I've been writing since I was like 12-13... funny enough when I hit puberty and once I became interested in girls, I stopped reading so much and started writing.
