/lit/ - Literature

>>2722542
I don't hold threads on /lit/ to the same ideals that you do. the nature of internet discussion allows topics to stray. I don't suppose you care about my friend, I only jokingly accused a poster of being him because of the character of his post.
whoever you guys are, you need to take some benzodiazepines and stop thinking /lit/ will ever be a place for lofty intellectual discussion.

>>2722517
they were exactly characteristic of his personality, like to a tee. there is no need to be upset, I am not, and I seem to have made a folly. oh well.

>>2722523
your post is also not relevant to the thread, pal. just because you're taking it upon yourself to assume the valiant role of "/lit/ roachkiller/whiteknight", it doesn't mean shit.

the shit you say is exactly like someone I know. and this thread gave me deja-vu because it was posted like 2 months ago and now it was randomly copypasta'd

I have a really strong desire to inhabit places similar to the one in OPs pic: Tropical, clear ocean surrounded, futuristic and ecologically friendly city constructed in a novel way......

Moyers On America: A Journalist and His Times

9/10 because he talks about the evils of deregulation and centralization of power in "big media"

no. he seems like a nice guy but his reviews are shallow. they don't really go beyond "I liked this . . . ".

Yes, I recognize George Eliot for her work, both as a categorical tool (how else would we distinguish between pieces of literature without author names, inevitably titles are used more than once) and because I appreciate her individual self for producing that particular intellectual work. I believe anons are hypersensitive to the judgement of others, and thus lack the balls to associate their posts with a recognizable title.

>1) Because moot said that's why he made the site

So his philosophies define your opinion? Because that is the original "intent" of the site, does that not mean modifications can be useful or good?

>and ultimately more truthful, posting

Yes, having all responsibility removed from you sure promises meaningful content.

Hey, why do philosophers, writers, and scientists include their names on publications? Don't you believe that they, too, should remain anonymous?

>3) There is no need to have a trip. It does not supplement the discussion in any way.

Weak. I can argue "There is no need to be anonymous. It does not supplement the discussion in any way."

you boys have yet to provide a concrete argument for anonymity
I'll be waiting

>is not something desirable

I was laying out possible explanations for the fervent and irrational anti-tripping we see, but in reality there seems to be no correlation, if anything your unfaltering "hivemind" attitude is getting the best of you

>>2700306
>1) The point in remaining anonymous is that you are not held accountable for what you say.

I know. See >>2700293

>By the same merit, if someone insists on keeping an identity, EVERYTHING they do is associated with that surrogate persona. Tripfagging and intelligence are not synonymous; just look at Jupiter.

Again I clearly am aware of your fist "point", and I apply that philosophy when posting on here. I am aware that tripcodes and intelligence are not synonymous- neither is intelligence and anonymity, in any respect. But at least I have the backbone to take responsibility for my words.

>>2700282
if you knew anything about basic social psychology, you'd know of the diffusion of responsibility that occurs when people are clustered but cloaked with anonymity. protip: bad things happen. with a name, you are upheld to the highest level of intellectual scrutiny(being held accountable for their words is not something desirable for the stupid or less informed among us, hence the anonymous-mongering)

>>2700275
how is it intended specifically to be anonymous if I am using a name right now? a breach in the almighty system?

>>2700268
exactly...i disagree with anti-tripcoders and express it to the fullest extent by putting it into practice. problem with that, scared nerd?

>>2700263
dear God get over it already, you anti-tripcoders are like the conservative ideologues in America....deluded, ignorant plagues of society

I enjoyed it, and hinthint the ending will fuck your shit. it is "real literature" in the strict definition of the stuffy pedagogue.

I feel so bad for old Schopy...he looks so sad. I just wanna give him a hug, or exchange small talk. ;_;
