Facts are Poison- There is nothing as poisonous as ash dead, cold-hearted facts. When the first Pedantic was brought into the world, he took with him his axe and his facts, and axed anything that conspired against him, for he idolized the rigors of science and wished to emulate scientific method , so that he may properly pollute the minds of artists by reassuring them they are constantly misguided- literature is meant to be abstract and remote. Therefore, it is necessary for the Pedantic to interpret literature. He set artists to be bound in chains and set them to mine mountains of literature. His purpose is to cannibalize art to shreds, **** the aspirations of artists, so that they may never reach the heights of their own magnificence.
