This guy said he could write as well as Shakespeare if only he had time and the responses were a work of art

Twitter is an incredible gift because it’s the only place in the world that furnishes me with people that I (a nerd) feel comfortable calling massive, pathetic nerds https://t.co/NASa6UVQPh

love the idea that writing “shakespeare quality work” means imitating him…inadvertent high praise, a mistake Shakespeare wouldn’t have made https://t.co/lkcJa5FJaJ

These are the kind of guys who write shitty novels and then blame women and minorities for their failure to get published when no one wants to read their pile of crap. https://t.co/ejs8W2NupQ

When I was in undergrad I was on a plane and the older guy next to me was like, “what are you studying in university?” and I replied that I was taking English lit. “You know,” he said, “I’ve never used Shakespeare in my entire career. No one needs to read it. Reading is useless.” https://t.co/x7L8RUmmOE

I’m “pretty sure” you couldn’t produce work of Shakespeare quality, Richard, even if we gave you all the time until the heat death of the universe.

I miss having the delusions of “I’m so great, the only thing holding me back is time”
It really helped me avoid acknowledging my insecurities

He wasn’t leaving it there, and it just made the whole thing even better.
It’s not about me, I think a lot of people could do it. I just think literature quality ratings are based on fake prestige.
Sorry if some essayist wrote this today you’d laugh at how over the top it is. It just seems beautiful and you suspend skepticism because it’s old.

Something I just made up:
“Man so powerful yet so weak. Conqueror of stars yet farts and squeaks. Oh man! An ape we know it is true. Darwin has revealed me and you. Yet we go on, forward still. For if not us, then who will?”
See? Basically Shakespeare, plus modern science
