How do I become a pseud? I want recommendations on what to read so I can masquerade myself as an intellectual by parroting the words and thoughts of men more intelligent than me- without actually understanding them. I figured /lit/ was a good place for this since most of you know you have an IQ of 130-140 thanks to the advent of online IQ testing.
Also, any tips on how to belittle others for trivial mistakes or for their momentary lack of understanding so I can get that sweet, sweet, infinitesimal ego boost for a few moments before bed?

Unironically read the Sophists. Plato will help as well

Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is pretty pseud-core if you ask me.

Join a debate club and stalk forums and comment sections where people debate hot topics like politics and religion. Read polemical pseud writers like Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. Watch polemical youtubers. Watch 'Ben Shapiro destroys xyz with facts and logic' videos. In no time you will grow up to be an insufferable prick but an insufferable prick who thinks they're hot shit, which is what you want.

Don’t worry, you are already one

Except he's not wrong. Saying "than me" as opposed to "than I" is fine and grammatically acceptable. Maybe not to autists and 5th grade English teachers who think language is a rigid an unchanging construct, but to the rest of the world it is.

but keep going, you're helping OP figure out what pseud is.

I've watched a few. It's definitely helping my transformation but it is a slow process. Do you guys think watching Jordan Peterson would help as well?

Yeah Jordan Peterson will help. Just consume all the pseud content out there. I'm just going to warn you thought, if you ever move past your pseud life, you're going to be really ashamed that you ever went through that phase.

Reading in the traditional sense is for subhumans.

Buddhism and eastern esoterics are perfect start, they teach you so many words no one understands so you can even persuade yourself that you are enlightened guru.

skim though the wikipedia page for Simulacra and Simulation and try to force it into any conversation. You can also do the same with Deleuze
