So I've been analyzing /lit/ for quite sometime. Whatever you hacks write fits into one of these three categories.

> pretentious
You try too hard and use words you don't fully understand. Dictionary is your best friend, and that's not something to be proud of. You think you're deep and you think you've been influenced by some great authors and philosophers whom you've read thoroughly. You think you're a learned individual and have a formulated opinion, when in fact you're nothing but a thief.

> boring
You try to write in conversational style, stream your consciousness, and that just comes out boring. You write about shit nobody cares about, full of technical details or inside jokes. No emotion or passion. You have nothing to write about, because you haven't lived your life.

> amateur
You're just a talentless hack, writing at high school level. You're young and think you have some sort of innate talent that allows you to bypass years of honing your skill through hard work.

There's a forth category and that's where you write about relevant, complex ideas in an accessible language with a distinct voice and style, without paraphrasing the classics. None of you are capable of reaching this god-tier.

Tell me how I'm wrong.
