/lit/ - Literature

Socrates here.

This method of communication has nothing to offer anybody. There is no quality content you cannot get more quickly and efficiently elsewhere. Writing is an addiction which reduces your productivity, attention span, and free-time. You are becoming more bitter, narrow-minded, haughty, and old. Leave now and quit writing things forever. There is nothing there but slow, lonely suicide.

People do not have arguments by writing. Writers do not engage one another on key points, they nitpick with syllogisms and mock each other. Nobody is interested in the truth; people are battling for fleeting moments of superiority. Active writers are loud jackasses who tumble into one "literary" fight after another, anxiously keeping ten theses open to ensure they keep the last word in all of them. An insightful work is one in ten thousand, and no matter how hard you filter it all you are still searching for diamonds in a garbage dump.

Writing is not making you happy. You are not having fun. You are not gathering stories to tell, learning, or growing as a person. Instead you chuckle every thirty minutes and are occasionally spurred to masturbation by libidinal scripts or picture books. You are addicted to readily available information and pressure free social interaction. Writing is slowly poisoning you with misogyny, narcissism, a false dichotomy surrounding normal people, and insecurity.

I'm not telling you to be yourself. I'm not telling you to go outside. I'm not even telling you to make friends. Just don't write anything. Do anything else.

4chan is a terrible place to have any kind of constructive discussion since most people here are either idiots or under 21 or both.

But if you go to 4chan just because you like funposting its a pretty decent site. So the problem is in your priorities. Don't try to argue seriously here, just post epic memes like all the other smart people.

another quality contribution xd.

/lit/ is fine if you don't come here every day.

Once a week is ideal for me

>>7022404
And yet you're here 16 hours of every day

>>7022089
Discovered Stoner and IJ. Worth it, you just have to stay here as little as possible.

>>7022089
I've seen this pasta before, last time was on /r9k/ though.

>>7022404
I'm here eight hours a day, but that's just because I have nothing better to do at work.

Tl;dr tbh fam

One of these posts justifies the existence of this thread.

>>7022659
Swag

>>7022089
Been here 10 years this year. Don't forget, you're here forever.

>>7022089
You are the kind of person who tells people not to do something but don't offer an alternative. I guess you brain got tired before you could thing of something better than 4chin.

>>7022807

literally anything else tbh

this is a lit board read a book

>>7022807
need guidance, pleb?

This is a disingenuous post from a butthurt faggot who posted something pretentious, got called a faggot, got butthurt, and made this disingenuous post.

He didn't get le upvote, but now happily visits /srs/ on Reddit, reads exclusively John Green, and is a karma billionaire.

You too can be like OP. >>>/reddit/. Karma, reason, bacon, and quality conversation await you.

>>7022815
yes please master guide me in the right direction. i hope i will understand why you have chosen the direction you point me. but if i don't i will accept it anyway because you know more than other. i tried to think but my conclusion is always sausage, beer and football.

Triggered?

/lit/ gave me Randy Prozac. Music is shit. The overall concept kinda interesting. Intriguing play with triggers und uncannyness.

>>7022823
Actually this is a post written a while ago by a person looking to incite responses from newfaggots like you, and OP highlighted it and pressed ctrl+c, came to lit, and pasted it into the Start a Thread box, also in an attempt to elicit responses from newfags. And you fell for it, big guy.

>>7023022
Dubs don't lie.

Check'd, m8.

>>7022366
but what if fun posting for me is arguing philosophy while freed of the stylistic constraints of academic discourse?

Check these

/lit/ is pretty funny though, granted, I crack all the good jokes.
