I miss 2007 4chan so much

>list contains multiple philosophers with no extant works
based

>>23429622

That's when I started coming here, and everyone said we were horrible newfags and the site was better in 2005/6. I have not actually noticed a significant change in the culture of 4chan in all this time. Developments, yes, like how /r9k/ went from 4chan-r***t -> what it is now, but it's all the same thing basically. Another development is the growth of right-wing Catholicism, but you could have predicted that since it's the maximally edgy stance to take at this point. I like 4chan because it's mostly funny and non-serious, and you can vent some spleen, but every now and then you'll come across an interesting and insightful post that you would not have seen anywhere else. (/lit/ being toward the top of the pack on this metric). Besides that, it's fun to make people look like idiots; and it's also kind of fun (albeit less fun) to take some half-thought position and then as soon as you start looking foolish, abandon the thread. Whereas on certain "other sites" there is a permanent record of your failures and idiocies for all to see.

>>23429860
>certain "other sites"
ah yes that one and the other one

>>23429860
I’ve only been on /b/ in like 07 then left the site till I started reading and going on /lit/ in like 14. I’ve heard /b/ is a porn board now which is sad. /lit/ has gotten much worse

>>23429893
>14
was that before guenonfag?

>>23429893

Man the way I remember it /b/ was always mostly porn, but maybe I'm wrong. I did enjoy the "FFFUUUUUU" threads, being 14 or 15 at the time.

BTW Reading this entire list would be a misapplication of your time. After you read the main currents of western philosophy, you should have already developed strong opinions and areas of interest, leading you down more specialized paths.

>>23429184
Camus is literally better than most philosophers.
Retards here think that Philosophy is better if it's unknown, If the Philosophy was useful then regardless of the fucking author it is good

>>23429896
I don’t remember. I never paid attention to him and wouldn’t know him if it wasn’t for the spam which time has shown to be an outside group making their presence felt. It was out of control and then one day it was gone

Biggest differences are the lack of the novel and poem today, way stronger gatekeeping back then, stricter moderation, and just a different tone or vibe overall

Philosophize getting some pussy nigga

>>23429184
4chan really hasn't changed much in the past 2 decades huh

>>23429893
The only time I've used /b/ was sometime around 2010 to post fake screenshots of an inventory full of steam keys claiming I would gift them to whoever would get dubs (dubs were disabled and these threads would get to bump limit within minutes)

>>23431536
I mean soijaks have ruined discourse. I don't have to use any energy responding to you I can just quote
>4chan really hasn't changed much in the past 2 decades huh
and add an image of a seething soijak

>>23429264
The average millennial /b/tard OP of 2007 is "smart" enough to copy and paste some 'list's' of 'x' philosophers' from Wikipedia, and the average millenial /b/tard reply bot is "smart" enough to copy and paste said list into his goblin's data hoard. Said list is only used to practice namedropping under the 2007 theory that namedropping philosophers scores pussy.

>>23431698
I'd agree with you if people weren't finding crazy pics and quoting you with that pic attached years before jaks were in

This is why I don't take seriously people who say the site has been ruined, or whatever. I've been coming here since 2007, roughly since that list was posted, and the site has changed but I wouldn't say it's gotten WORSE. Honestly, when people talk about the idea that 4chan has gotten worse, I sometimes think it's not that the site has changed, it's that they, themselves, have grown up, lived through life, experienced disappointments, and what they really miss about "old 4chan" is the days of their youth when things were brighter and more full of promise.

>>23432027
My life’s gotten better since my early days on 4chan and I think /lit/ has gotten worse

>>23432027
obvously being an annoying contrarian has always been the main thing about 4chan, i miss when people actually took interesting positions with some sort of internal logic. the political leaning here used to be extremely libertarian. the proliferation of right-wing catholicisim is the worst thing to happen to the sight, without a doubt

>>23432816
>the proliferation of right-wing catholicisim
This is completely nonexistent outside of a brief surge in popularity circa 2016, comparable to the former Buddhism fetish the board had. You don't see any religious sorts period nowadays.

>>23432829
Nta but you don’t see all the Claude Frollo types here?

>>23432841
no I see a bunch posts about magic and German idealism

>>23432027
Back in 2007, the web was smaller, the community more dedicated (to moe anime and otaku culture, as your picture indicates), and the newfags more competent and willing to adapt to board culture. Today's phoneposters don't care about board culture and simply parrot whatever is popular on other sites.
4chan hasn't become worse the same way that a twenty year-old who still can't use a toilet hasn't become worse.

>>23431536
>4chan really hasn't changed much in the past 2 decades huh
>>23431698

>>23429529
Didn't /lit/ use to have actual professors post here back in 2010?

>>23435653
Smarter people used to browse 4Chan on all boards, yes.

>>23429184
Baby's first chanistential crisis lol but seriously Plato was right about everything.

>>23435653
We had an actual mathematician that solved a genuine mathematic problems like....ten years ago? Also OC was far far more common, because you weren't ganged by depressed faggots, because you dared to have fun

>>23435747
Who?

>>23435747
I need to stop using this site. Anything I could have gained from it, I already have. Hell, I don't even think I could get good recommendations from /mu/ these days.

>>23436556
>>23436566

>>23436572
I'm too dumb to make heads or tails of any math. But I have noticed the quality of discussion going down for some time. But what's worse is that this place hasn't only gotten dumber but less fun and creative as well.

>>23435653
There were definitely postgrads who had high end specialized knowledge in certain writers or movements

>>23436572
What did he prove?

I can't tell because of the formatting.

What is geq 2?

>>23436682
nvm

>>23436602
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpermutation

>>23436602
Because phoneposters don't know how to make OC with their hands. The smartphone is the absolute worst thing to happen to 4chan.

>>23431698
It was the same with fedoras and before that calling them plebs.

>just read them all
thanks

>>23438164
Joyce is the only author who can claim to have read most of the canon after the Renaissance (when there were only a dozen works worth reading).

>>23438164
Was Joyce autistic?

I hate gays

You could call someone a pleb and still discuss the topic of the thread. Now feelsposters derail entire threads into a middle school restroom stall.

You guys really haven't noticed the massive surge in orthodoxy which was virtually nonexistant before?

I bet all six dollars of my life savings that not a single one of those roleplayers has worked more than a microsecond at their church's soup kitchen.
