That if you have read and didnt like x, you instantly are too stupid to understand it, especially when it comes to the meme trilogy.

that you shouldn't read X because it's not as good as Y. there are very few instances where reading a book will make you stupider.

What's with the topology meme

are you going round all the boards posting this thread? Will you make a nice jpeg with all results once you're done?

>>7434517
He's probably going to make several /r/4chan screencaps from every board to get his upboats.

>>7434194

>>7434522
The fact that there are reddit users who come browse boards here just to find a 'funny' thing they can get points for is disturbing

>>7434677
This is going to sound like military grade autism, but seeing what happened to /r9k/ was probably the most significant thing in helping me understand what minorities are complaining about wrt 'cultural appropriation'.
A bunch of people who hate the guts of the board's actual population (the lonesome, misogynistic NEET) had no trouble copying all the 'epin memes' and in the same breath denouncing the people who created them. When you look at the same concept in the real world where such things actually matter, you can understand why a black guy might get pissed off at a bunch of white people copying 'black culture'.

>>7434164
>What's the dumbest opinion you've ever seen someone post on /lit/?
Where do I even start?

That e-readers are worth the money.

"Genre fiction is worth reading"

That translations are a passable replacement for the original literature and that you should read translations rather than "missing out" on the book.

That's like eating McDonalds and telling other people they are "missing out" even though there is tons of quality food around that you could read in the four languages you speak fluently.

>>7434875

>>7434919
yeah, we are supposed to know every language in the world

>>7435011
You only speak one language, but you haven't even read all the works in the canon written in that language.

You are a pleb in every regard.

go read genre fiction

probably not the dumbest but seriously, it's not that great, i've read it like 4 times and i like it less and less every time

it's just a funny book with a great prose, but saying that is "deep" is fucking pathetic, it's also not very hard to know what it's really going on, people should stop being so fucking pretentious with this book, specially girls

if it wasn't for the prose this novel would be just a stupid comedy like Candy by Southern and Hoffenberg

also Pale Fire and Ada are better

>>7435131
Nabokov is GOAT tho. Lolita is still hilarious and a rollicking read, despite its limited scope compared to his other better works.

>Pale Fire and Ada are better
Finally someone who knows

Nitpicking Nabokov is fairly foolish though. The man wrote only masterpieces.

That guy who argued for an entire thread that Holden raped his sister.

>>7434730
Those numbers changed you're right
This proves nothing

>>7435043
actually, I speak 4 languages. Am I supposed to learn russian if I feel like reading Tolstoj? Stop being an elitist faggot pls

>>7435185
That doesn't matter since I am the only sovereign being to exist and you're nothing but a figment of my imagination.

>>7435043
You didn't respond to his statement at all

>>7435190
Why would you read Tolstoj if you don't speak Russian?

All the translations are garbage and if you do in fact speak four language there is lots of other great literature you can enjoy.

>>7435219
you're garbage.

>>7435167
yeah, he's great, definitely better than most authors and Lolita is better than most books and it should be read, but in my opinion it's on an undeserved pedestal

>>7435222
Good argument, I'm sure it would hold up in translation.

Well, first of all, because i don't speak russian

>>7435043

Sounds a lot more fun than boring russian farm stories. I think I might read some. . .in translation! And then. . .I'm going to ignore the western canon. . while getting a tattoo and going to a fat acceptance rally!

If you aren't a native/google translate user, can you recommend any good books on learning Arabic?

>>7435355
yes, polyglots are the only ones entitled to any cultural enlightenment. it's interesting that one of the more popular methods of increasing your ability in a new language is to read a book in that language, so in that instance, you're still not completely able to read it. so does that mean that you shouldnt read it yet until you've read it to be able to read it?

>>7434867
"The medium actually matters"

>>7435358
Yeah. I typed this up before here:

lqtoronto.com has pretty good lectures.

I can speak highly for the Madinah Book Series, Thackston's Introduction to Koranic and Classical Arabic, Jones' Arabic through the Qur'an, and the al-Kitaab fii Taa'lum al-Arabiyya series (starting with Alif Baa).

The latter is what we use at my college. After you get the basics down from a textbook, you can always hone your skills by focusing on more specific texts or activities, for example al-Ajrumiyya for grammar or reading works in Arabic for reading skills or listening to the news or watching cartoons for listening and vocab.

Also if you're interested in Morphology down the line:

at least on reddit they don't censor words like çuck which is exactly what everyone here is (except me)

>>7435454

>>7435454
Oh look, it's the same redditor from the other thread

Fuck off. The difference between 4chan and reddit is not how 'censored' they are

>>7435463
>censor
Get out you CANDY-ASS.

What's with all the newfriends thinking we're being censored?

>>7434875
You're reminding me of my favorite sequence in Walden. Thoreau starts out raving at how simple the local farmers are for barely being literate, a chapter later about how they only read newspapers (which he determines to be equivalent to tabloids). Then how they probably don't even read the classics, and finally that anyone who doesn't read the classics in their native languages are plebs who can't even begin to appreciate them.

Sam Harris solved ethics.

>>7436949
>2015
>not thinking science has the potential to solve every single possible problem
The answers are already out there. All we need to do is find the math and perform experiments to bring it into our consciousness.

Christianity is fact-based and not just a theology.

>>7434411
Along with the idea that Communism is its own end and not a means to an end.

>>7435226
As if you know better than esteemed English departments, professors, and literary critics throughout the world.
Yes this is an appeal to authority, there is literally nothing wrong with appeals to authority, only plebs get triggered at them because it puts them in their place.

>>7436959
This. Harris has solved ethics. The dumbest opinion on /lit/ is that science can't solve our problems, and that science is somehow similar to religion.

>>7437040
Yeah, to Marx, Communism wasn't a definition of a future society that reality had to bow down to, but a movement for the abolishment of the present state of affairs.

I don't see many Communists saying that 'Communism has never been tried', but you do find quite a few people who think 'The Eastern Bloc was not a classless society (Communist society)' is the same as 'The Eastern Bloc wasn't Communist'. It's a stupid language thing, but it gets to people on both sides.

>>7434405
> there are very few instances where reading a book will make you stupider.
Yes there are. There are plenty of books that are so complete shit that no-one should read just because how stupid they are. I'm sick of finding people attack a thinker because they've read through some secondary or tertiary critique or commentary misinterpret said thinker, which is so common on /lit/ often threads devolve into that kind of petty shitposting.

>>7437060
>Harris has solved ethics.

It's just utilitarianism. It's been around for centuries.

>>7434411
Just Communism really.

>>7434886
He was playing around with his simile. I'm more than sure it was on purpose for comediac effect.

>>7434424
Expand on this please.

Basically pro-natalism in any way, shape or form.

"capitalism is human nature"
and any chimping out in any form against criticism of capitalism that assumes its coming from a marxist/commy perspective.

'Sam Harris is worth paying attention to.'

>>7434194
Time doesn't exist. The past only exists in as far as it is remembered and the future only so much as in it is predicted. They exist only conceptually.

>Frenchmen aren't a bunch of cheese eating surrendering keks

>>7437206
>owe your freedom to the french
>can never forgive them for it

kek

>>7437205
If anything exists conceptually, then its existence is manifested within one's mind and through all actions that stem from this concept of time. Even if the human mind had never came to be, what is conceptualized now has an existence within the realms of reality, and it is as though it waits for a conceptualization.

>>7437221
>everything you can think of is real

If you're willing to go that way then sure.

>>7434644

The redditor is doing it for internet points.

I'd prefer slinging shit, to be honest.

>>7437223
The implication that all people think of time in the same way is an inaccurate assumption. All things living will certainly expire, but time is a personal truth.

>>7435232

Du er skrald.

Yeah, it works.

Most opinions I read on 4chan are dumb desu.

When I was younger I believed I had taste and smarts, but 4chan quickly taught me I was a plebeian faggot. Now though I'm better than the vast majority of posters and spend most of my time here screaming internally.

I know this all sounds arrogant, and I suppose it is, but I understand now that as a consequence of my patricianhood all I've really accomplished is further alienating myself from other people.

Everything seems so vast, yet absence is present everywhere. Both our perceived reality and the unperceivable are just as infinitely large as they are infinitely small. Endless spaces and nothings are trying to be analysed but they are only present in contrast to presence. When viewed, these vague nothings are impossibly unclear.
Should we accept that we are limited to what we can perceive? Or should we solely expect all knowledge, as a product of this reality, to be challenged by the paradoxical uncertainty of empiricism?

No, only English, Ancient Greek, Latin, Hebrew, French, and Russian. Maybe Japanese for good measure; there are some good haiku and koan that don't make much sense in translation. If you want, learn Spanish, but the only reason would be Don Quixote

Sanskrit and Pali are more important than those more recent Indian languages. I neglected important Eastern languages because there is no official (read: Bloom-approved) Eastern Canon

I realized that while figuring out when I last saw 'nigra' but I decided to keep posting to fish such a response. I think last time I saw 'nigra' I was still on /b/ and there was an attempt to recreate the original Habbo incident

I can't even blame Aristotle, even though I am sort of surprised that wind resistance never crossed his mind.

Most people who defend that have no concept of gravitational pull or vacuums or resistance or how weight is calculated, though.

>>actually thinking there's Redditors here

Reddit is the 31st most-visited website on the Internet, to think that there would be no-one from that page here on 4chan would be weird

The only thing you could do to make yourself look even more like reddit would be to also put a space between the > and the 'Hello reddit!'

It's a long time for the internet ecosystem. Memes grow old pretty fast. Like ragefaces were huge a few years back. First it's funny or interesting, then rapidly overused and boring. After that some people continue posting it in ironic fashion, then it mutates into something completely else or dies. In 5 years you will be asking "who remembers rare pepes". The chaos engine just keeps on chugging.

>>7440494
It's just a generalization, the fact that you're on 4chan and /lit/ makes you a statistical outlier. You can make similar generalizations about other groups too. Like "men have problems expressing their emotions", "black people can't swim" or "blue collar workers don't care about literature" and frankly you would be right in most of the cases.

>>7441914
I think you know why.

>>7434164
>any opinion related to collectivist ideology, including anarcho-communism and fascism
>women are just as smart as men

>>7441957
>In 5 years you will be asking "who remembers rare pepes"
I get what you're saying but I'm skeptical of this in particular, because many people thought it was cancerous from the beginning, and the 'market' lasted less than ~2 weeks before getting overrun with reddit, tumblr, news sites, etc.

>>7443795
بتسلم
I already happen to know about archive.org and wata.cc. The fact being I had an entire catalog on my old device before it went corrupt. Back abroad, I'd spend my spare seconds in the local library, either chilling out with the old dude behind the counter, drinking saloop or strong coffee, or actually reading something of use (usually Tafsir, tried asking for Ijtihadi lit but was frowned upon, since, come on, we're a Sunni majority.)

How's life as a fellow sandcrawler on the web?

>>7443871
If you want ijtihadi lit, then books.rafed.net will have it. It is a Shia website so it will have some kalam on ijtihad and its philosophy.

It's fine but lots of ignorant people online haha. I used to get angry but now I just laugh الحمد لله.

What are you most interested? Islamic lit?

>>7443892
And muslimphilosophy will give you good names for more theoretical, abstract stuff and of course, the major famous scholars

>>7435131
It isn't just great prose, it's arguable the GREATEST prose in a book ever. That is the draw of it, its goddamn poetic, every sentence of it. Nabokov was all about aesthetic bliss and technical precision, over the underlying story. The story itself is just a random edgy platform for him to display his brilliance. If you cannot enjoy the prose alone, without deep or philosophical undertones than the book just isn't for you, but make no mistake about it it is a masterpiece.

>>7443892
>What are you most interested? Islamic lit?
Really more putting up a comprehensive point of view about Shia, since they're practically demonized in the West Bank. At first, my interests stemmed from a fundamentalist sort of point of view, that I had to refute it by any means. I am no longer that person, but I still pursue interest since Islam is, to me, an interesting motif in its totality.

>>7444824
If you're interested in Shiism, then I would first recommend these
Shaykh as-Saduq (major primary scholar)
http://www.wofis.com/Publications.aspx?bookID=4
Shaykh al-Mufid (his student, started the rationalist tradition in Shiism)
http://www.wofis.com/Publications.aspx?bookID=52
Allamah al-Hilli's (11c) Bab al-Hadi al-Ashar
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=dGFzaGF5eXUub3JnfHd3d3xneDozY2RjMTk3MTE1Yzg5MTE3

If you're more interested in falsafa among Shi'a then look at Mulla Sadra's works and Muhammad Baqir as-Sadr's works. rafed will provide a lot of material in Arabic for you.

Major Islamic scholars from past are as-Saduq, al-Kulayni, at-Tusi, al-Mufid, Ibn Idris al-Hilli, Hurr al-`Amuli, Muhaqqiq al-Hilli, Allamah al-Hilli, Muhammad Baqir al-Majlisi, Mulla Sadra. You can find their works.

Kitab as-Sara`ir is interesting and I love it. http://books.rafed.net/view.php?type=c_fbook&b_id=1267
Ibn Idris al-Hilli is sort of forgotten nowadays but in his time he was a genius rationalist scholar.

>>7444833
Oh and good polemics work if you're interested in lives of the A'imma is Kitab al-Irshad from Mufid.

Compilations of hadith are the Kutub al-Arbaa but if you want a huge compilation of ahadith categorized by topic, Wasa'il by Hurr al-`Amuli is the way to go

>>7444839
And if interested about Karbala, then Maqtal al-Husayn from Abi Mikhnaf. He was a man who collected reports only a few years after the battle. Important narrator among Shia and Sunnis
