This board is so gay. This should be /phl/ because none of you fucks actually read literature in any worthwhile way. Do people here want to write books? No, apparently not. Do we actively review current day or past literature, post threads about works we read and liked? No, people ask whether something is good, but they rarely post something non-political, non-philosophical that doesn't get drowned out by a sea of the same few books on the same topics the one mass of lit posters reads: vaguely historical, esoteric and thus abstract and easy thought systems, political but niche statements which are separate from the canon of any actual scientific field. In fact, there is neither science nor research nor anything remotely intellectual to be found here. Even literature as a field is too dependent on actually having read a wide variety of books. The issue is that /lit/ although preoccupied almost exclusively with /philosophy/ fails at the most basic task of having read anything post the most superfluous Greek dialogues any humanities major will come to read throughout their first or second semester, not to speak of actually reading Kant or Hegel or modern debates. Everything real is the enemy on here. That is why no one on a literature board writes, no one here can write. You need life experience to write a cohesive book and you need a life in the first place to even just type it out.
I've had more organized, well informed and civil discussions and philosophical points on the virgin coomer board that is fucking /v/ and better political arguments on /int/. Fact is, most of you people don't even use this website. This is an echo chamber of a very vocal minority of non-channers shilling for shitty books.

You are totally right but it is difficult to find a good channel (in the general meaning of the world, not the internet one) through which discuss about lit.
Real people not impossible but really difficult as basically no one reads nowadays.
Reddit shit. Other platforms worse.
Here there is 1 out of 100 good threads but at least there is one.
I guess the best possible solution are discord or telegram groups but, if it is of quality, you have to be invited

Based. This board used to have discussions about literature and daily threads offering book recommendations. Now it's just psued wannabe philosophers bickering over which dead Kraut had the best outlook on life or LARPing Cath-Fash faggots pretending to keep the faith when they would be condemned hell if they were held to their own standards

I dont write because i make music. I dont rlly have much to say with words that I wouldnt rather say through melody.
agree with the rest of your post. Alot of users who think this is like a hangout spot or something need to leave. I started noticing that most of the actual literature discussion threads are about books that are typically assigned in american middle and high schools.

Stopped reading there. Philosophy is worthless. And it's for losers. Has any philosophical question ever been answered ?
Philosophy is an art of talking without saying anything meaningful, . Absolute trash for losers who think they'll somehow become more intelligent because IM A THINKER.

Absolutely based.

People who think history or especially philosophy is Literature should kill themselves.

>> No.20261094

Philosophy and theology discussions should be welcomed if they are textually grounded, if we see anons getting into the grammatical sense and aesthetic merit of particular philosophical works or sacred scriptures. We should be using the tools of the renaissance and reformation humanists, not perpetuating a vapid and baseless scholastic rationalism.

Stopped reading there. Stopped reading there is worthless. And it's for losers. has any Stopped reading there poster ever said anything insightful? Stopped reading there is an art of talking without saying anything meaningful. Hell, OP was specifcally saying the philosophy shit WAS shit on this board, but you stopped reading there and went on a tangent no one brought up. Absolute trash for losers who think they are somehow more intelligent because I STOPPED READONG THERE.
