Being forced to give an online talk to a group of students on something to do with literature, but I'm starved for ideas on what to do it on. Was thinking something pseudo-intellectual, any ideas?

Greek and Roman detritus is the centrality of pseudo-intellectual interpretative contemplation and accommodates an advantageous precedent for the callow puerilities of the customarily vainglorious millennial congregation of Rick & Morty aficionados.

Where once universities held themselves out as embodiments of the ancient ideal that the true purpose of wealth is to afford one the means and leisure to pursue knowledge and understanding of the world, now the only justification for knowledge was held to be to facilitate the pursuit of wealth.

David Graeber. The Democracy Project

>talk for students on literature

really, truth be told, literature has no "purpose" and may very well be diminishing in cultural significance in a money focused economy. The benefit of reading literature is that it may cultivate wisdom.

At length in his works Plato lauds the gaining of wisdom, and no more so than in The Republic (Book VI 484 et seq) in his discussion regarding the qualities indispensable for society's leaders (Guardians).

This could be a worthwhile basis for your talk

This subject has been confusing me so much lately. I always thought that the purpose of universities was about employment but I have recently listened to criticism about how businesses are too deep in the education system. Now I've reached this dilemma where I feel like I might be the cancer of the education system even if my intentions for wanting money are good since I'd rather not become homeless again. The internet for me has become what the university once was, especially as my major is not my true passion but just one of high interest.

You can choose a particular work or author and analyze the motifs and symbols they use to convey certain ideas or themes. You may also consider how historical, social, and political events influenced the literary works of a particular era or author. In this case, I usually used research paper help, I found https://edubirdie.com/research-paper-help for myself. The main thing is to tell us and find the topic that bothers you. Then it will be interesting for you and for students too.
