/lit/ - Literature

What do you do when you see one scuttling across the kitchen bench, separated from its hive? Bugs can be helped, ignored, or crushed.

>>11447076
Who says you have to deal with them? Live you life.
Also, not /lit/

>>11447076
Ask if you can shine their shoes or wash their car

>>11447076
>I don't know how to deal with them.

Just smile and say "Welcome to Wendy's, may I take your order?"

>>11447229
to be fair Wendys is pretty classy as far as burgerflip jobs go

Turn 360 degrees around and walk away

The only non-bugmen in this world are the super rich and the homeless/NEETs. Prove me wrong.

>Tfw 6'4, massive 9 incher and making 200k as head chef at Wendy's.

Stay mad STEMlet

You forgot genuine monastics but otherwise you are correct.

>>11447076
Same thing you do with all the inhuman groups on earth (women, minorities, religious people, etc.): you use them to your advantage and negate their existence otherwise.

This thread is not turning out to be as productive as I was hoping.

>negates my existence
>i'm still here

lmao

I was hoping to discuss the problem with people like pic related; people who think literature is worthless because all information can be condensed into some web page they can read and never have a real / deep understanding of. People who think books are only about plot yet they devote huge amounts of their lives to mindless movies and tv and video games.

>real / deep understanding
pure pseudery

reminder to report all threads that are not about literature

>>11447408
This thread is good bait but you are still logging up the board.

>>11447327
Care to extrapolate?

>>11447435
>being this insecure

>>11447449
I wasn't baiting though. I was wading through /sci/ and felt disgusted by some of the Epic Nerds there who immediately dismiss our pursuits as worthless.

Just read some epistemology and philosophy of science.

>>11447076
Dude, let them be drones so we can maximize our lives! It's honestly to our advantage.

>>11447076
The truth is that bugmen are all people in the world who aren't attached deeply to any particular culture or religion. They are the end product of consumerism married to atheism and postmodernism. We cannot deal with bugmen without first dealing with the cultural vacuum of the modern era.

>>11447362
Pics or GTFO. ;) <3

>>11447493
And how do we deal with that anons?

>>11447463
What the fuck is this image it looks straight out of white people trying to imitate black twitter delete now

>>11447408
I guess I'm that kind of person. Don't get me wrong, I liked some fictional books in my teens (Steppenwolfe, 1984 etc) but now at 26 I realize that fiction is basically just a honeypot for people who are really self-involved and who feel their personal experience, or perspective, deserves special attention. I'm sorry but in the age of social media everyone can now post about their experience, they don't rely on some creepy overemotional manchild to "speak for them". Occasionally I'll pick up a new book that's come out, but I just skim the Amazon "Look inside" function and get the gist pretty much every time. It's just boring and not enjoyable. If I want a deeply immersive experience with moral lessons and all that crap I'll just rewatch LOTR or take the time to read through all the dialogue etc on Morrowind.

Convert to Christianity

Your mindset, that the modern age is somehow different from preceding ages, is the cancer killing modernity (and no, this mindset is not itself new).

>>11447408
I don't get your point. People who love movies, would often enjoy fiction books as well as they're both mediums for story-telling.
I don't know anybody who considers all art meaningless and uninteresting.
I think you're fighting against a boogyman

>>11447362
"head chef at wendy's" lmao it's not a fuckin michelin star place you absolute bing bong

>>11448705
More besides that? What else?

>>11447076
>he thinks /lit/ isnt full of bugmen too
Its not just STEM

>>11448737
The only way out is for society to adopt a consistent moral narrative. Christianity is the best option (because it’s true, of course). Abandoning democracy for a monarch or similar (as Hegel thought would follow the democratic experiment) would at least lead to the imposition of one set of morals, but obviously has other problems.

>>11448592
lol if you think literature is about "muh experience" then you don't understand art at all.
Experience is used to create the art. It is not the end goal of literature to make people understand you. Fiction makes you think in terms of problem solving. You have to interpret the text which often takes as much brain power as solving some engineering problem.
The more you read the better you become at interpreting texts and interpreting the world.
tldr; fiction makes you a better problem solver

>>11447463
I would but I myself am a computer science major...

>>11448592
What in the hell are you doing on /lit/ then??
