great contribution retard kill yourself

bump

>>16340991
/his/ is awful.

>>16341489
Thanks for turning /lit/ awful as well.

Go back.

>>16341514
You're welcome.

>>16341514
For different reasons. Sorry I think the demography of /phil/ more overlaps with /lit/ than /his/.

>>16341554
In the real world, philosophy goes with science, not literature. Unfortunately the folks at /sci/ are mostly vulgarians.

>>16341533
cringe, go back

>>16341682
I think phil is in a weird limbo between art and science. forgot who said that. Its systematic in preformance, but by its own nature, the system can change by perspective. There is someone who talked about its in between aspect that i forgot.

>>16340991
In the myriad turds that clutter the catalogue, from e-celeb/youtube/twitter screenshots, /pol/-tier race-baiting politics threads, soijack spam, to /r9k/ '"I'm a pathetic loser, fix me" blog posts, you find philosophy threads the most objectionable?

>>16341742
You forgot Academic Advising/Career Counseling, which has probably overtaken everything else besides philosophy

>>16341489
I've seen people say this all the time but I never know why. What's the problem with /his/?

>>16341742
Yah, its sad. I guess he thinks (incorrectly) that it will go away if the phil part of the board left (it wont, it will just make the dialogue even more aids than it already is. Without the pretenses of some philosophy to gild their turds, they will just be regular turds.)

>>16341742

literary criticism generally sucks even when produced by professionals though, philosophy is exciting, it's the rival schools of Athens and it's happening on the chans

>>16341761
battleground for /pol/ and /leftypol/

>>16342023
eh, i guess, but so is this board.
>>16341761
Just much worse quality posts. On /lit/ people at least pretend to read primary sources. Most of /his/ is almost entirely regurgitation of Youtube topics and vids. And there is a difference between phoned in poopoopeepee lit shitposts, and the brain numbing midwittery that is /his/ which thinks its smart. You can get some decent discourse on /lit/ if you present your post well enough, you wont find much from /his/, just people acting like they are way smarter than they actually are.

>>16341489
Yes. Go there where you belong.

>>16341742
>e-celeb/youtube/twitter screenshots, /pol/-tier race-baiting politics threads, soijack spam, to /r9k/ '"I'm a pathetic loser, fix me" blog posts
All of them stem from philosophyposting. You people need to fuck off.

>>16341742

Rather deal with philosophy anyday if we can get rid of all the other bullshit

>eh, i guess, but so is this board
Honestly not really, now and then sure because they definitely raid this place but they havent corrupted this place with their influence as much as we thin since we already hate people that don’t actually read

>>16342090
>All of them stem from philosophyposting
Why is it, then, that they exist on practically every board regardless of topic? Boards which have nothing to do with philosophy?

Every time I come here, I either see the following:
1. A lot of posts about religion.
2. A lot of posts about philosophy
3. Normalfag literature
4. some faggot's bookshelf

In my opinion, I think /lit/ is fine. I see some good posts about some actual literature but even those are reddit-tier. Users that are reading actual literature are not really posting all the time. /lit/ really is a good board and slow.
What needs to stop are the annoying writing threads. I firmly believe everyone on here just read some sort of "edgy" book just because they thought they were special because they were not like "most kids," and now think they have some sort of high iq. This is as good as it gets, but you should instead criticize the people who use the board.
Also, every "post modern" book nowadays is some kike bullshit trying to get men to cut their dicks and women to be miserable. The amount of pseuds on this planet at the moment is unprecedented.
Even the normie-chads are throwing "Critical theory" at you, but we all know they are delusional.
I come here every now and then to write a long post like this one, or several, just to show that I guess this is because of the political climate.
Also, philosophy and literature go hand in hand.

Board would be better without pic related.

>>16341722
I don't think it's in between. It's squarely within science, just at the most theoretical, abstract end. If you look at history, it's basically the mother of sciences. Once a form of philosophical inquiry becomes systematic and routinized enough in its methodology, it is spun off as a new 'science'.

>t. seething tranny libfag

>>16342137
They don’t, you lying piece of shit

>>16342198
You think that Butterfly and Rapture are good influences on this board?

>>16342138
/lit/ hasn't been a slow board for months now.

>>16342138
You are the problem with the board, no wonder you think it's good. Go back.

>>16342138
Lol, ok reddit

>>16342225
years. Inb4 another faggot tells us he's reading the iliad

>>16342288
I mostly just focus on helping those poor clueless souls with no idea about how poetry works. Other topics pretty much aren't worth getting involved in.

>>16342138
how do I become as conceited as you?

>>16340991
>feels guy
Takes me back

bump

Lol at plebs being eternally filtered by philosophy, you love to see it

philosophy is manifested in literature you absolute smoothbrain. discussing philosophy is fine as long as it's about authors and not dumb yt fags
this board would be fucking useless if it wasn't for philosophy and political theory. All we would get is the same meaningless meme books and /shelf/ threads. this board would lack the little substance that it has now.

>>16340991
The problem isn’t the abundance of /pol/-related threads, it’s the apparent lack of people willing to discuss literature. My threads get archived after 20 replies at most.

>>16340991
youre wrong retard

>>16341006

>mfw I’m a spic from /tv/

That obvious?

>>16343624

Try making the topic more general. You have more kikes arguing irrelevant shit but we get to have fun too.

>>16340991
Non-whites don't read so they don't understand philosophy and /his/ is full of non-whites while /lit/ is the whitest board.

>>16340991
Fuck off brainlet

The medium is the message. /lit/ was never good. I've been here since 2005 and it's always been trash, it's just now days people post soijacks instead of owls. It's all the same shit. The forced meme of David Foster Wallace reaction images was just as incessant as the buff chad shitposting is now. Exchange one stimuli for another, keep the format the same, thus nothing ever changes.

>>16344781
The number of posts has doubled since March.

>>16344803
Well, all the wagecucks either got fired or work from home now, it makes sense. There's kinda been a pandemic goin' on.
