let a machine do all the thinking for a man and he won't worry about anything but himself; but let be a man who does all the thinking and he'll worry about everything excluding himself; and today, in this modern present day, let an intellectual read this kind of stuff and he'll think of all the men who might have said the same thing and the author becomes unoriginal, pretentious to him. this generation is fat. this generation is at its peak disadvantage. this generation will never have its own Hemingway, Kerouac, Salinger, Steinbeck, Ginsberg, McCullers, Rimbaud, Plath, Fante, Bukowski, Vonnegut, Camus etc. (and Nietzsche) this generation. . it is so tiring to think for it.
