/lit/ - Literature

Thats a foxtel remote

>>11323456
What's wrong with moleskines? I buy them because they look uninteresting, should I carry some faggoty leatherbound journal and LARP with it?

Aquinas, Descartes, Kant, Hegel and Nietzsche

>>11323521
>baiting this hard

>>11323539

It's absolutely true, all of them are brainlets with the partial exception of Nietzsche but I included him anyway but he is a fly-trap for pseuds. If anyone considers Nietzsche as a serious philosopher rather than just being an amusing and creative thinker you can rest assured they are a pseud.

>>11323456
So did mine:
>"the active condition"
>$2 Mead notebooks
>stoicism + psychoanalysis
>brautigan
>"that's not what begging the question means"
>non heteronymous works
>Kafka

whew, I'm in the clear

>>11323521
>>11323571
t. ass blasted analytic

>>11323571
Please Lord, help him to stop being a faggot

>>11323583

>>11323580
lol not even close, analytics are brainlets too

>>11323571
I'll bite...

Tell me, why the fuck would you consider Kant and Hegel brainlets?

>>11323589
>he unironically thinks man's postlapsarian will can find truth unaided
Please Lord, help him to stop being a faggot and blot out his hubris, and my own

Here's some more:
>don't judge a book by it's cover
>i'm not right-wing, but evola wrote a lot of interesting things!
>that's an ad hominem
>the art of reading is dying

>>11323617
If I reveal the truth for everyone on /lit/ to see than it might allow pseuds to masquerade as patricians by apeing what I write, I would rather them remain in the open so I immediately know who to avoid and who is worth spending time and conversing with.

>>11323647
yea.. ok..

kill yourself, pseud

>>11323625
>postlapsarian

>>11323613
ik senpai
the one thing we can all agree is not on the pseud detection list

>>11323456
What’s a non autobiography?

>>11323514
>he doesn't use orange rhodia notebooks

pseud

>>11323959
caring what notebooks people use is the single most pseud thing I could ever imagine

>>11323514
im not close to a /pol/tard but they're bug af. also having your journal out in public at all is attention whoring
>>11323959
even worse, the preferred choice of construction mangers in the nashville suburbs who drive 60k f150s and wear sweatervests and think they matter b/c they raised a shithead daughter and an adhd son

>>11323959
>buys a fancy notebook
>writes with a ballpoint pen
Fountain pen with Noodler's Black ink will write on toilet paper.

>>11323943
I think he means biographies

>>11324498
So he’s just being stupid

>>11323521

>>11324013
>having your journal out in public at all is attention whoring
why would I ever do that

>>11323456
>uses Kafkaesque in conversation
> dresses up like someone from oxford to look smart
> smokes to look intelligent
> hates contemporary literature without actually reading any contemporary literature
>reads for knowledge and not for fun
>wants to write "the great {insert country} novel" but doesn't even know who the best publishers are

>>11324573
the other guy mentioned carrying one around
ive seen ppl journal in public, i think it's an extrovert thing
i can only read or write for myself when i am entirely alone or in the company of strangers/acquaintances
>>11324505
this post made it beep uncontrollably, pseud detected

>>11323456
>self-help + personal development

fuck you anon atleast im trying to be a better person instead of projecting my own fear of intellectual inadequacy and stroking my ego with a pseud thread

>>11324009
This

>>11324603
the thread is a joke senpai dont take it too srsly. i like hemingway
but selfhelp is bullshit. convert to a religion or read philosophy if you want to be a better person and improve yourself. religion has faith and structures in place to change your focus to outside of yourself and philosophy is based on rational thought that can be discussed at least somewhat objectively

Another gay af thread on /lit/ as per usual.
I hate all of you

>>11324009
If you don't respect your tools your work will be shit. Any artist knows worth the time of day understands this. But let me guess, you think you can write the next great entry of the western canon on your laptop. Pathetic.

>>11324398
What about mechanical pencils?

>>11324775
anon it's hella convenient/cost efficisnr since i already own it. if it helps i use wordpad so there's no spellcheck and not as much stupid shit to distract me

>>11324775
But I respect my laptop

>>11323456
>non autobiographies
do you mean any book that's not an autobiography?
that's... a lot of books.

>>11324827
no regular biographies
autobiographies are cool b/c some ppl are insane and it's fun to see the world through their eyes
biographies are what my dad reads and he's a massive boomer ngl

>>11324837
Some people are like, really, really dead though. Maybe I wanna know about them, too.

>>11323466
oi m8

>>11324847
ig im just sick of selling shit that puffs up (or tears down) whoever it was about. there also all about stupid celebrities. it's less biographies ppl on here would read and more me being salty working in book retail>>11324866

>>11324884
Ok, that makes sense. Maybe pop-biographies is a better phrase?

>>11324889
yeah i wanted to finish the post before my break ended so i was crammed for time
but that's def a better phrase

>>11323466
Check out the big brain on anon!

>>11323571

You mean no one there is a brainlet with the exception of Nietzsche, maybe.
Otherwise expand, I'm on this board with the specific task of eating brainlets like you alive.
