It's philosophy that is really eating up the board

It's just not worth it to post anything interesting or involved content on here because:

1. No one fucking reads anything but the meme standards to meme about them

2. /pol/ and /leftypol/ teens now make up a majority and they refuse to engage with anything that isn't American idpol bait.

I mean, as someone who has been following this dumb board for years, quality threads like the one you made are extremely rare.

Recommendation threads can be good, threads about more obscure (or even just out of lit's lane) threads can be good, that one time Pynchon posted on lit was good, fart jokes are good. Pretty much it though.

/pol/ was not such a huge influence on it before. Standards of discussion were generally higher, it was more elitist and idiots/plebs were quickly ridiculed. Now it’s just /pol/ and people who don’t read.

I keep thinking about how funny it is that this board thought that 'Not Bill Murray' guy was Pynchon. As if that buck-toothed fucker is that erudite. You know he employs research teams for his books, right? Of course you don't, you teenage dilettantes. That would require you to be a seasoned reader. Fucking joke of a board.

It's been proven by first hand accounts that Pynchon uses a research team. That's just if you need proof. If you had any semblamce of a working consciousness you would be able to tell.

>Nietzsche's descent into madness mirrors that of the character in a Strindberg novella Nietzsche read

Which one? The inferno crisis wasn't until 1894-1896, Nietzsche lost it in 1889. What mad literature did Strindberg write beforehand?

I've followed a similar thought, but it centered around Dostoevsky and Raskolnikov - now that is a freaky coincidence. I found a psychoanalytic writing on it on JSTOR, but sadly, in Hungarian as far as I remember.

I do agree about the sad state of this board. Effortposts are few and overlooked. Do it for yourself, not for others. It's a fine exercise, and if someone engages, all the better.
